Picked Alvin Up. Thai Express here we come!

Tom Yum Talay, Chicken Basil with rice, Crispy fish cake, Chicken wings, Mango salad etc.......Famished but the waiter took forever to serve the food!

Went to Siglap Centre and Werner's Oven to look for Roystern's birthday cake (his birthday is the next day). Couldn't find anything for the picky bday boy....Alvin's sister suggested Tampines mall.
1545
Pouring rain and impossible traffic in Tampines (because a new mall just opened) forced us to detour to Changi Airport to get the cake!

Finally found the Tiramisu cake at Crystal Jade in T3. Yipee! Alvin's place for mahjong!

Galvin, Alvin, Chad and Alvin's sister preparing for some mahjong faceoff! Time to show my claws!

2 rounds of mahjong later, I emerge victorious and seventy six dollars richer! Thanks Galvin and Alvin! 下次再来！ Birthday boy arrived in time for dinner.

Dinner at Xinwang. Birthday boy signed up for Xinwang membership, got discounts and free red wine. Had my favourite 四季豆炒虾米， 午餐肉蛋饭 and 港式特制奶茶. Burp!

Galvin's place to get my cantonese drama while he freshens up!

One of my favorite part of the night: Durian time! Headed down to Kovan area for durian. Dick joined us as he lives in the area. Had D24 durian at half price (5 boxes at $50)....thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Paid for durian with my mahjong winnings.....good things must share!

Happy 27th Birthday Roystern!!!! Stay young, handsome, smart, fun, healthy and wealthy forever!

Cake cutting at Alvin's place. I love cakes, but this Tiramisu cake is mediocre......
0115
Second round of mahjong faceoff with Alvin's Dad, Alvin and Galvin......Alvin's Dad almost won a 13 wonders! But alas, 天有眼。。if not I could have been $40 poorer! Luck is not good for the first few rounds.....
0330
Emerged unscathed with a pitiful winning of $1.50, which I donated to Alvin. Alvin's Dad was the overall winner at $30.
0415
Home at last. Thanks Galvin for always sending me home. You've saved me lots of cab money throughout the year!!

Nicely tucked in bed after a nice hot shower.
A wonderful closure to a wonderful day with wonderful friends. Must do this again sometime soon!
Evidence of fun!
