30 already?

Last friday was my 30th birthday.. like i said, it couldn't be more meaningful to me.. starting my 30s life full with new hopes and dreams..

Well, i didn't get drunk on that day.. nopeeeee... instead i got together a few friends and we had an awesome romantic dinner at Nerofico, damansara heights ;)

The ambience was superb.. the live jazz band was good.. but no matter what, i think the company plays a HUGE role instead..

I booked a private room and we had ALL the privacy that we wanted.. there's a HUGE ass projector, sound system and you can play your songs in there.. the room can accommodate up to 32 pax

Anyway, back to my birthday night.. Nerofico had done a good job in decorating the room.. with low light, rose petals on the tables and floor, and the soft latin music playing at the background.. well, you could say that it was the most romantic dinner that i ever had! :) the setting was P-E-R-F-E-C-T

I invited 15 people but at the end, only 11 showed up.. nevertheless, i had a great time.. chatting and sharing a romantic dinner with my old and new found friends :D
