10 August 08 was in stark contrast to the 9th Aug. I woke up at 3pm, still sober from last night's partying.. K was not home when i woke up.. we had not reconciled yet.. but the National Day dinner party at my house was still on.. K had bought lunch and left it on the bar counter.. it was one of my favorite food : Peanut Pancake!!
He came back for a while, we talked a bit.. he asked how i felt and if i still wanted our friends to come over.. i said it was up to him.. he then left shortly to buy some last minute food for the party.. we were supposed to make baked potato rosti with meat, but there was no time for that then.. about 3 hours later.. our friends started streaming in..
The dress code for the party was supposed to be red and white.. but only myself and my air steward buddy (whom i can always count on!!) came properly attired.. = (
My best girl friend F, as usual, ever defiant, came in a turqoise blue dress.. She did the same thing during our Christmas party last year.. everyone came dressed in red or green.. but our dear F was the only one who came in all Black..
It was a night of feasting and laughing. We had cold pasta salad, roast chicken meat, toasted crispy seawood chicken roll, sausages, and a giant size chocolate birthday cake..
After dinner, we played Ninentendo Wii.. EK had gone through all the trouble to borrow the console from his cousin.. We played Boxing, Tennis, Super Mario , and laughed till our sides ached.. halfway through all the playing and laughing, K and I made up.. = )
That night was the first time in many weeks i actually laughed so hard and really felt happy.. i had good food and the good company of friends i truly treasure and love..
Here are some photos of the birthday cake that B bought.. when we lighted the 43 candles, we were all standing around contemplating whether to sing a birthday song for our country or not.. in the end, we decided it was quite dumb to do so.. So instead, we just counted to three and blew the candles together.. it was a nice, warm feeling..
That night, i had all my cake, AND ate it.

Haha.. since i've gotten my own place, i kinda love organizing parties and gatherings with close friends at my house.. so i will use any occasion as an excuse to organize one! In fact, i'm thinking of having a mooncake festival party next weekend!
