Happy birthday P

Cool balmy night.

And a good table in the air-conditioned tent.

Celebrating P's birthday. Dig into crabs, beef and pork knuckles we did for the kids are tucked up nicely at home, 'cept for M.

Birthday lunch

From a while ago. A birthday treat to a place we've not been in ages. Ikoi, Miramar Hotel

A dream of pink chiffon cake

Cute wooden Japanese toys.

For a complete pink tea party : Doughnuts, panna cotta, fruits, cherries, coffee, tea, ice cream, cakes and breads.

I digress ...

But these are photos of a nice whimsical children's bookstore called Woods in the Books ( in Millenia Walk ) that Ollie sent me. There are wall murals of book characters.

Just as good

No matter that there were only 2 roast duck legs for 3. One would go to a friend in need and the other 2 we rest our case and went for wings instead. Equal misery, but miserable we were not.

Just as good :)

A simple lunch, or is it not?

A lunch, just a lunch,
Or so, one thought.

No longer as simple as it sounds.
Like before no more.

To ask or not to ask?
To eat or not to eat?
A duo, a trio, a quartet or solo?
A duo invites talk, a trio too much of a click, a quartet but that's just a fraction of a whole.

Much thought (full and less) goes into it.

One's absence or presence speaks volume, much volume.
