The coming of legal age
An sms sometime in the middle of the day read:
I can finally legally do everything legal now, except performing oral sex so states Section 377 (but they are intending to repeal that law sometime in the near future. Imagine all the poor bastards who have already served sentences for indulging in what was perceived to be "criminal" sexual acts. We know why they don't let boys do boys, "because they don't fit quite well", but going by the same argument, what's there not to fit in fellatio?).
Anyhow, as I write, the birthday has come and gone. Vansh was good, further elaborations at William's blog along with a bunch of visual information. Here's some shots of the food for those curious to see what North Indian food's like:
Since a picture says a thousand words and I am not in the best of state to write about said occasion in a way it deserves, I shall let the pictures do the talking.
The mid-day sun threatened to give skin cancer and so we left for Harbourfront and Great World in search of a cake to bring home to my gramps so that I can celebrate my 21st with them. After seeing many paltry-looking cakes, we finally settled on a small Tiramisu cake from Sweet Secrets:
And then it was home to shower and get rid of the grime before we went to clarke quay with the intention of taking my long-desired cheesy trishaw-ride around town only to find that the area's under construction and I decided to just binge on my favourite foods at ABC market to dispel my disappointment. (Call it newfound wisdom or otherwise, but I decided that spending 200 bucks on a dinner at a restaurant wasn't the most economical way to spend my 21st birthday if I truly wanted to eat my heart out. That, and I'd rather the Boyfriend save the money since he already spent so much on the gift (he wouldn't say how much :\). It just makes more sense to eat good hawker fare since I'd have a good time either way.)
Excerpt from dinner conversation:
I could probably safely say, best birthday ever so far.
Happy birthday Jia! Hope you're having a blast today since everything's legal now. Enjoy yourself okay?

Tandoori prawns
The rest of the line-up
The people who couldn't get enough (The sweetheart of a boyfriend, author-in-question, Mich, William, Thong who sports a retro-NS haircut and Jared who is not fussy.)

more or less spur-of-the-moment decision to visit the escape theme park to convince self once and for all that i am no longer a kid (irony works in many ways). Introducing the pretend-UOB-mini funkey card which functions as the entrance ticket.
can eat?
There, I found the lamer (possibly lamest) version of the Rainbow ride i had in Korea. It went as fast as the ferris wheel when nothing goes wrong.

yum! (candles melting fast while i egotistically try to get a good shot of my own 21st birthday cake. p.s. this is the first birthday cake i've had in a long time, heh. i guess after a while you just don't bother. and cake makes you fat anyway.)
gramps!

ABC market, located behind IKEA, home to best foods agglomeration, especially my favourite orh lua (Oyster omelette)
how to make food look better in photoshop 101. food magazines editors, i work freelance. :D hee. just fooling around a bit with photoshop.
No self-respecting binger considers a sinful session complete without barbecued seafood. we had sting ray and white clams (la la)
And of course, how can we leave out beer
it's all about rediscovering your limits and all for a total of 30 bucks and less
Excerpt from dinner conversation:
Me: "Should we have chilli crab tomorrow?" (scheduled for dinner with my aunt)
Him: "Shiok. Wah, the prawns. Have you tried drunken prawns before? Those prawns died for a good cause"
Me: "All prawns die for a good cause"
I could probably safely say, best birthday ever so far.
marry me?
yes, my love.

Hey babe!
Happy Belated Birthday!!! Hope u enjoyed urself to the fullest!!! Well was thinking we could meet up n do some stuff. Like maybe catch an R-rated show. Haha the only I've watched is Kill Bill. n it was downloaded somemore. Heez...
haha. there's no good R-A movies showing now i think. i rememeber looking in the papers. And i think the best way to watch them are still by downloading the uncut divx rather than the heavily censored ones in the theatres even though they already have an age limit.
very fussy actually. just in no conscious state at moment to object strongly. =) happy birthday again.
-jar
thanks. heh. i haven't stopped eating since. it's bad. many many food
