My new heater :)
We shopped around for a good heater that would last long and look nice in our living room :)
And then we saw this heater. It's a very light heater, as well as fitting into our living room theme perfectly ^^

Happy Birthday to me 2007 ^^
Its a mud cake muffin!
We (a group of 12 ppl) later on went to Rhodes Phoenix for yum cha...we had alot of fun indeed.
After work, G got me a very nice cake from a French Patisserie cake shop at the Rocks..
Its a Tiramisu!

At night G and I went out for a restaurant around our local area - called "Not Bread Alone". It is a nice, compact restaurant, sits around 10 tables at most, so booking is essential.
We have chosen 2 dishes for entree and 2 dishes for main:
Seafood Chowder
The texture of the soup was too starchy and needed a little more seasoning, however there was alot of seafood in there. I actually liked with the one @ Nicks Bar and Grill better ^^ They were the best I have tried so far hehehe.
Bruschetta
With the Bruchetta, I personally preferrd it with lots of balsamic binegar which I believe that it was lacking in the dish.
Seafood Risotto
For the mains, the seafood risotto looked surprisingly different to what I had expected. Again it had a very generous amount of seafood in it. I loved this dish!
Chicken breast stuffed w/ mushrooms & walnuts
With the chicken breast, G said the meat was a little too tough and the dish needed a little more seasoning.
We didn't try the desserts (although they all looked very mouth watering), because we had the bday cake waiting for us at home :) Therefore I had a cup of skim cap instead.
I liked the coffee art on the coffee:)
We'd be happy to explore their breakfast and dessert menu at some point later in future. We'd definitely be back!
