Birthday Triple Whammy Megabonanza BBQ

Title says it all. It was that time of the year again. This year it was a bit more serious than before because after this milestone, I have to jump new age box when filling forms and applications.

Shared "burden" is always the best one. Luckily my good mates Antti and Timo have B-days around same period so we decided to arrange triple B-day party. Perhaps its our Finnish nature, but somehow there was immediately silent agreement that main event will happen around BBQ. Another reason is that Antti and Heidi has awesome BBQ facilities at their condo just next to the pool.

After few planning beers, some emails and traditional last minute calls/SMS night before action and heavy groceries we were ready...

B-day boys and Heidi.

Cakes and candles. Special thanks to Evonne for the cakes.

Official group picture. At tennis court. Naturally.


After the guards switch off the lights at BBQ pit we decided to make a move and destroy the rest of the sparkling and homemade Salmari (by Antti and Heidi) at the condo's lounge on the 31st floor.

Next pitstop was rooftop bar at The Club where we stayed while before the evening's major Megabonanza: Hindi-disco at Boat Quay!

Imagine a club full of Indian pro-dancer chicks in saris while speakers boosting crazy hits from Bollywood. Perhaps mixture of this...


...and this....



...and this....



...gives you a good idea about the place and the party what we had. Even mysterious PeaMan was spotted here. You bet that we had a crispy feeling next morning.

Oh! If someone knows/remembers the exact name for this place, please share.

Evening was a blast and I would really like to thank all participants. After this much fun, ticking the new box in forms doesn't feel so depressing...

Happy Birthday Tyttö

When: 11 May 2010, Tuesday
Where: Indochine Clarke Quay

I turn 31 this year and I am not a big fan of fancy birthday celebrations. I like mine small, cozy and simple. Because we had crazy cookout the weekend before my birthday, I just want a simple dinner and a couple of drinks, afterall, it's a school day.


Poika got me a really sweet gift. A book on Finnish Summer Houses. We talked about it on one of our nights out and I told him about how I'd like to build a house of my own as a retirement project (I have no idea how I'm gonna do it, nor do I have any skills required. So for now, it's still a dream.) Umm...If I'm not wrong, that might be the inspiration for the gift. Yes?
