Unlike last year's mini birthday surprise among the RUNbutans alone, this year, we decided to give Eunice a bigger surprise in the form of brunch among some close runners after he event at SHAPE.
So early morning, Neo and I drove down to Nicholl Highway to check out the finishing area and look for Ms Lee along with Eve, Adrian, Jack, Din and Desmond.
This was my first time going to an all-female run, so it was weird walking into the carnival area, but apparently there are a lot of guys friends, boyfriends, and husbands there as well, so we didn't feel too out of place. We did bump into familiar faces like Ashley, Li Jing and Serene Cheong. I did note that Neo looked like a PAP representative going around to promote the PAP presence...lol!
Once we got out of the place and Eunice and Eileen got changed, we headed to the Mandarin Gallery for brunch at The Providore, a cafe Eve read about and recommended we try.
I have to say, a lot of us had fun mingling at the table which we managed to get for a group of 10. The food was standard brunch food, nothing too fancy but just as good. I did enjoy the peppercorn from the dispenser though (not pictured), it wasn't just black or white, but included red and greens as well, so the taste was pretty unique, similar to the peppercorn you'd find in deli hams when you buy them at the supermarket.
Brunch was then followed by a visit to the NB store at SCAPE where Jack had readied the cake to surprise Eunice. Jack rushed out with the cake and the song started, when Jasmine and Adrian were still at the bathroom! I'm not sure if she sorta saw it coming, but you can say she it brightened her day!
Overall, I think it was a fun half day spent, I hope the guys enjoyed themselves too! Thanks again to Jack for leading this time's birthday planning, Happy Birthday Ms Lee!
