Thank you very much

I'm not sure if my friends are reading this, but just to put these down in words, I'm really thankful for the birthday party they held for me and my other friend. We're both November, and only a few days apart, so, yeah. And it was a good time at Brussels Cafe@Jaya One.
The vege fettucine is scrumptious, and the pumpkin soup's just right - right thickness and full of flavor. The other alfredo spaghetti is not bad either, despite being a bit too rich, but the accompanying mushroom soup's one of the better ones I've tried in so many places. The appetizer, smoked salmon salad, is not bad too, despite the rather small serving (but it could be that our number exceeded the maximum portion =P). The small preserved fig-like fruits(?) are the accents, their strong, tart flavors lit up the plain sweet taste from the lettuce and leafy greens, as well as enhancing the flavors of the smoked salmon. Since we all are working the next day, and most of us driving, non-alcoholic beverages are the preferred choice. I'd liked to try their house beer or some cocktail, but I'm not risking a hangover if I overindulge. No thanks, I need to complete my stuff at work.
All is wrapped up with some nice warm brownies and ice-cream, courtesy of Brussels for the birthday girl, and a chocolate mousse birthday cake. And did I mention the friendly, helpful staff, despite the busy night? :D
Come to think of it, this may be some sort of unconscious wish came true. I recalled countless times I've passed by said cafe, and have promised to come and have a drink there some time later. Guess that later did came as this day.

Even if there wasn't any party or such, I wouldn't have minded. In times when our financial situation wasn't that good, and despite that, my parents still wished to have a celebration, it made felt a bit bad. That they could have saved up the sum instead of spending it on a birthday dinner and cake. Perhaps it's just me with too much on my mind, or over-analyzing stuff. But I am very grateful too, for that. And I certainly would try not to miss anyone's birthday, now that I have my own earnings and can actually hold a celebration for them, from my own abilities and sincerity.

Too bad all the photos I've taken were bad in quality due to the lighting, and I didn't remember to use flash. Was a bit of a waste. Sigh.
