Long Live Dowager ST!

It's Dowager ST's birthday on Sat and we, the royal subjects have made prior arrangement to have lunch with her. However, her gift is still not ready to be presented! We wanted to decorate the exterior of our gift but somehow, the creative juice just refused to cooperate. Tried to get some stickers to paste as our names on it but did not managed to find anything suitable.

At last, an idea just struck Princess TH's mind as she was "taking shelter" at my workstation. She saw one of my label tag which consists of a few cute little bears. She decided to cut each of it out and use it as decoratives for our gift. The idea worked as the effect turned out to be GREAT! Thereafter, the princesses went around searching for "cut-able" and pretty items to add on to the collection.

Our wishes were hand-written by each of us and that made it really special! We couldn't finish our art work in time and we proceeded with our lunch session with her first.

Empress Fiza was already waiting for us at the lift lobby and she suggested to have lunch at one of the French Restaurant - Andre next to Watsons at Amoy. Hmm, din even notice that such a French Restaurant exist over there! All of us were pretty excited as it is a fine dining restaurant.
Check out the setting in the restaurant:

After our orders were taken, we chit-chatted for a while and our food was served. First item on the list was the garlic bread! We were given a choice to choose between pumpkin soup or casear salad for our appetitiser. Well, only Dowager ST and myself took the soup. As for main course, Dowager ST, Knight Rid and Princess Feli had duck, myself had chicken and Empress Fiza had beef. I simply love the chicken! So tender and juicy!

Last but not least, our meal was completed with a delicious dessert - Tiramisu. The liquor smell is pretty strong but luckily, no one was drunk hee!

I carried our gift in my hand, slowly walked into her room and was singing her a birthday song as I walked. Alamak, first thing that she said was that her hair is standing up! Bad leh, hurt my little heart wor! But okie lah, at least I'm the only one who can cause her such effect lor!

We were glad that she loved our gift and happy that this little garden has found its new home but sad that Empress Fiza was not available to be part of this mini celebration. Nevermind, there are years to come!

Meanwhile, please take good care of the little garden....
