Happy birthday Christine and Ruth!~

Today's Christine's birthday :) and yes, she has become a member of the 30s club :P We met for dinner and drinks yesterday and here are some photos. I am still waiting for the other group photos as they are in Ruth's and Chris' cameras. Oh, we also celebrated Ruth's birthday as her birthday's just round the corner, 1oth of Oct, which is next Saturday :)

I took this photo..
Ruth looks great!


I gave this mook marc jacobs
bag to Chris way before her bday :)


We moved on to another venue for drinks

Been wanting to go District 10 for drinks ever since I heard about the place :) It sits on the former Monk's Hill Sec. School premise. It's just a stone's throw from Newton circus hawker center..

we were first seated in the air con dining area, but just after 3 mins, we decided to head out to the open air area instead. The ceiling's pretty low in doors, so it makes talking very difficult, the chatters and noises were kept enclosed. We had to shout ..so that's bad . Okay, noise level aside, I quite like the cafeteria concept, the open kitchen concept where u can see the chefs and cooks preparing the food :)

So out we go...seated at the non smoking corner, away from the puffers. The two areas are separated by a huge old tree whose branches 'umbrella-d' above us :) There were whimsical lamps hanging from the tree branches, making the al fresco area a better place to chill out than the in doors. Oh, the huge tree is also the water feature..like a rain forest of sort :P

Food prices seem reasonably affordable. Seems like a good mix of snacks, salads and mains.
Expect the usual cafe beverages but if wine is what you like, take your pick from the different pricing ..from $39 onwards.

can you see the bird in it's cage?
that's the lamp :)

I passed the ladies their presents!~

Chris can't wait to open her part two :P


Check out how the wrapper
reflects the light! I bought them
from Waston's ( last xmas )
So pretty... and yes
Ruth looks really good !~


Ruth gave Chris her 2nd birthday bag~
A super duper cute shopping bag
good for carting all the grocery or books!


I made them both cards!
