We had a gathering co-organised by James and I to meet up with Huaian who came back to Singapore during his school vacation yesterday. I was extremely surprised when these adorable fruit tarts with smiley faces popped out in front of me as an early birthday celebration. Who doesn’t love these freshly home-baked low sugar fruit tarts with love from Jess? Honestly, I’m so touched they took the effort to “secretly” planned everything and Jess’s effort for waking up at 9 in the morning to bake the tarts. I feel loved! 
I didn’t suspect anything even when Jess kept walking around and sneaking behind James. I thought she was asking him to show her where’s the washroom. I thought that was odd though. 
They taste as good as they looked which reminds me I should get the recipe from Jess and try this at home sometime. The custard tastes heavenly!
We dropped by Mind’s Cafe and found a new game which was really fun! True colours is a game where players attempt to best anticipate how others perceive them. Each round consists of several private ballot votes on who best fits a particular question. Once votes are entered players guess at the number of votes they received for that particular question. The better your estimate the more points you make and the winner being the player who best understands how others see the player. I ended up as the one with the lowest point. 
Hopefully James will get this for his board games rental site! It’s really fun and entertaining playing with people whom you know. 
We went to Bottle Tree Village for dinner and got lost on our way there because the taxi drivers didn’t know how to go there. We chalked up to about SGD 30 of fares. That wasn’t the worst part because the walk back to the bus stop was so creepy. There wasn’t much street lights and no one was walking along the road. It was like a mini night adventure similar to the night walk during our secondary 4 adventure camp but I swear I’m not going there again without a car. It was horribly inconvenient!
On a last note, thanks guys for the gift, tarts and wishes! I really appreciated your thoughtfulness and everything.

Two weeks late, but I’m so happy to see that you have a great (and thrilling) time on your birthday
the fruit tarts are absolutely adorable and the surprise is really too sweet (no pun intended) 
I’ve heard of Mind’s Cafe but I haven’t been there before though. After you wrote about your experience there, I think I’m going to visit that place when I get back to Singapore. The atmosphere looks cozy and warm from here!
And the Bottle Tree… pretty creepy that there isn’t much illumination along the road! Reminds me of one time when my friends and I were driving up Genting Highlands when someone just had to crack the Pontianak story out of nowhere. We were scared during the entire trip up :P because we drove up at night.
Anyway, have a great year ahead!
