Jing's birthday
 Happy Birthday, Jings! :)
 Me and the birthday boy. The gang full and satisfied. Bobby Rubino'sWe celebrated Jing's birthday on Thursday night at Bobby Rubino's at Chijmes, which I must add, is a beautiful place - so Cinderella castle-ish with all that sculptures and fountains. Bobby Rubino's was a good choice for food as well; the Chicken Gordon Bleu which I had is a MUST TRY. Take it from me. :) So it was all wonderful company and as usual lots of silly conversations and childish antics such as discovering that the back of our placemats were printed with this maze for children to amuse themselves while waiting for their food. In typical fashion, we found ourselves fascinated by the game and quickly scrutinised the problems. Luqs actually whipped out a pen to DO the maze. The pictures are evidence. Haha, they're all at http://www.flickr.com/photos/glamqueen. I think we got the waiter pretty irritated but looking amused at us due to the unsurprising number of photos we took that night. If film cameras were still in rage, we would all be broke. The bus ride home was reminiscent of our bus ride from KL back to Singapore just two months ago. As usual, succumbing to sleep and not focusing on your whereabouts leads to frantic "We're here?!" when the bus stops and you gaze out of the window to surroundings that just seem confusing to your sleepy brain. And so, we scrambled out of our seats and down the bus when the bus was totally empty and the bus driver waiting - yet again. Anyhow, I hope Jings had a memorable 22nd birthday. :) Skipped Chopra's lecture today to watch the fourth-round matchup between Hingis and Samantha Stosur. The first set was a breeze, but the second set left Jings and I watching on nervously. My heart was ready to jump out of my body anytime as the tiebreak unravelled itself to be one of the closest-fought ones ever. I was shrieking and pounding my fists in agony. Haha. I hate watching Hingis play because I suffer from unnecessary near heart-attacks but I still find myself inexplicably drawn to the television when she plays nonetheless. She plays Kim Clijsters next though, and it's going to be a tough one. For a comeback queen who has not played professionally for three years, I don't expect her to make it to the semi-finals but if she does, it'd be a definite story to tell. We had a mini pre-Chinese New Year celebration today in Fel's hostel room crooning Jay Chou and eating her yummy homemade pineapple tarts, cashew nut cookies and chocolate chip cookies. It was soooooo funny how we ate and ate and sang like nobody's business. Haha. My bed calls. Three hours of sleep last night has not done me any good. Gahh.
