What I do for my Birthday

I spent my birthday in Singapore last year. My husband invited my cousins to have dinner together at the restaurant called Carnivore which is a Brazilian Churrascaria type of restaurant (it's like a BBQ buffet, perfect for meat lovers). My cousins got me a Polaroid camera and I had such a great time.


This year, I had my birthday in Melbourne (for the first time!), I did some research since I have no idea what to do at first. So these are the stuff I did for my birthday this year!

First, I had a romantic dinner with my husband in a comfy and sort of rustic kind of Italian restaurant called Gorski and Jones. I got to know them through an article on Herald Sun News and this is the title and link to it Top 25 new Italian eateries in Melbourne.

I really like the setting of the restaurant, it's simple and great layout I think. Pictures speak more than words, so I just put up some pictures instead of trying to describe them.

The drinks and cashier counter bar on the left and the cooking bar on the right. There's a door at the back to the other section of the dining room.

This is the other dining room through the clear glass door.

You can literally see them making them yummy pasta at the cooking bar.

To sum it up, I like the restaurant: place is great, service is good, food is great, nice serving size and the desert is just divine. If you decide to give this restaurant a try, make sure you save some room for the Panna Cotta!

I had another birthday celebration too. I organized a high tea session with the girls (my sister in laws, my cousin and close friends) last Sunday. I chose Beau Monde International Hotel because they were having a great package at the time. So I decided to give this place a try. We were served with a glass of sparkling wine each and a little gift that made us all even happier. The gift is a pair of pearl earrings!

The original high tea area was having air condition difficulty so we were moved to the ballroom. Anyhow, we had a great time there, the service was good, the food was alright, nothing wow me but it's not bad if you know what I mean. Here is a picture of the food layout.

I was showered with some nice presents this year, so blessed with these lovely people I have in my life. So here are some of the presents I got.

Florescence by Merrell: A book with all the beautiful photographs of different type of flowers, absolutely stunning!

I know there's still a year to go but what to do for my next birthday celebrations?
