Hope our sweetie is doing good and enjoying her sweet 21st!
This is my second year not being able to celebrate your birthday with you back home; but i hope you got my birthday wishes through text messaging and also the card which is probably taking an airplane to Malaysia and sending it to your doorstep soon. Birthday present will be coming back when I go back Malaysia next time ya! Let's enjoy a piece of cheesecake first!
I just read Jyy Huey's blog and I found a picture of a pretty girl (hmm...should be pretty lady now...nyek nyek nyek...) holding a bouquet of flowers! That's just so sweet of Huey and her bf~!
Any special meaning and wishes for you during this special day?
It has been seven years of friendship...I just want to let you know that I really treasure this special friendship and also your companion all the time. Thanks for always be there to show me your greatest support and share the happiness with me all the time. I miss you, my dear yee peng.
Promise me you will take good care of yourself, take a rest even though you have tones of homeworks to work on, always face challenges with a smile and a strong determination. Friendship support is going two-sided. I will be here to support you and listen to you all the time. Take care.
HAppy birthday and may your dreams come true.

Interesting Add-on for Gmail Bloggers
I just found out something new from a friend's blog. It is an add-on photo strips designed by Rockyou.com
So I happily sit there and spent for 3 hours just to look up some old photos and post them in my blog. Miss the old time very much. I wish I could go back to celebrate CNY next year!
Make my dream comes true, please...

scruMptiOUs Japanese Food
Have been craving for Jap food since my last visit to the nearest Japanese Restaurant in Des Moines, IA. I had a great time with my darling there for my belated birthday celebration and I fell in love with their services as well as the food there right away. I like the ambiance of the restaurant, it gives me a feeling of relaxation and a good place to enjoy Japanese food..
Restaurant: Appare Japanese Steakhouse
Address: 3769 NW 86th St, Urbandale IA
From my observation, I noticed that there are five sections in the restaurant. They have an ordinary dining place for individual, family, and business dinner. Then a sushi bar for sushi lovers! For those who would like to see some demonstrations while having dinner, they do offer a great place (a square table surrounded the stove) where a chef will demonstrate his cooking skills while serving his guests.
The other two types of room are party room and the traditional Japanese Tatami room for gathering or any kind of celebrations respectively.
After falling in love on the first sight, my friends (Eva, Fred, Jenn Ho, Kay Ying, Randy and RuoQi) and I went there again on Monday (Oct 15, 2007). We had a Party Tray (full of delicious and FRESH sushi and sashimi),
Spider Roll (soft shell crab roll), Kaki Fry (Oyster), Octopus Salad, Salmon Hibachi, Seafood Udon, Beef Glass Noodles and Plum
Sake. 
Food are so lovely and tasty! Before I forget, we had Mochi ice-cream as the dessert of the night! That's just so great, a mouthful of refreshing Mochi ice-cream. 
There are five flavors - Red Bean, Strawberry, Mango, Vanilla and Green Tea. These are MUST-TRY items, if you plan to visit Appare Japanese Steakhouse for your next trip!
Overall, good services, good food, worth for the price you are going to pay, and it has an ambiance environment.

Fall Break @ Minneapolis, Minnesota
Just finished my fall break, back to schooL life now...
I truly enjoyed my fall break. A good time meeting all my old friends (Kay Ying, Zhee Chong, Su Meng, Sheau Chin, Saik Kia and Molly).
My darling, friends, and I went to Minneapolis, to send a friend off to India for a business trip. His friends have prepared a hello kitty go away party for him, that's just so funny yet interesting to know that Zhee Chong (my friend who is going to India) actually like hello kitty??! Anyway, I would like to wish him all the best and good luck working in India.
Take care, my friend. We miss you much.
Although we did not have enough time to visit the most popular attraction in Minneapolis - Minneapolis Sculpture Garden with the centerpiece of the garden - Spoonbridge and Cherry Fountain;
we paid a visit to the second largest mall in the U.S. - Mall of America. 
It consists of over five-hundred-and-twenty stores, becomes the second largest shopping mall in total area and the largest in total store vendors in the U.S. when it opened on August 11, 1992. (Source: wikipedia.org) The center of the mall houses Camp Snoopy, a 7-acre amusement park beneath 1.2 miles of skylights. Also inside are a roller coaster, ferris wheel and a log floom ride with a 40-foot drop. Kids and adults alike will discover the joy of the 4-story sculptures in the Lego Imagination Center. And if you've had too much mall, feel free to escape to one of the 14 movie theater screens or the largest aquarium in the state without ever leaving the building. (Source: Minneapolis.com)
There are too many nice dining places where we got no enough time for all.
Well, food that I will never miss out - Dim Sum. The restaurant called Jun Bo. Hmm...yea, there are many varieties, but the quality of the food doesn't meet our expectation. Will try out others next time! :) After spending the whole day in the Mall of America, we went to the Sze Chuan Restaurant for Sze Chuan dinner. Food is good, service is good, however, the environment needs to be improved. The place is too packed for too many customers. Food is too good to attract so many people there. The greatest moment is having a glass of bubble tea, lying comfortably on the sofa, playing cards and chit-chatting with friends. The place for the bubble tea after the dinner called Tea Party. 3 stars rating (out of 5)! This place has the same problem as the Sze Chuan Restaurant - lacking of the "environmental" feel.
Time flies, Zhee Chong is leaving us for a business trip to India for about 18 - 24 months.
He is a good friend who doesn't mind sharing. Sharing is caring, he is not the type of person who is stingy in sharing his knowledge and experiences with friends. He is a nice guy who you will never want to miss out in your life.
Happy Working and keep in touch, my friend!
It seems like eating is the most important thing we did throughout the whole trip. We went to a place called Peninsula, operated by a Malaysian.
Although food is not as good as the tradition food back in Malaysia (different taste and texture), except the sambal belacan; it is good enough to satisfy our stomach for good food.
Our trip ends with a shopping spree at the Preferred Outlet on the way back home.
It was tiring, yet fun to stay with all my friends (Randy, Kay Ying, Eva, and Jenn Ho (our lucky junior).
Thanks for giving me a good and relaxing fall break!

Happy 29th Month Anniversary
HAPPY 29th Month
A stranger you were once.
Then, with a gentle look you took my hand.
As our lives engaged,
you lit my life and I held both your hands.
Now that decades have passed,
ours souls have indeed become one.
How fortunate we are that we have found the love so true that everyone dreams about.
