Al Ibrahimi Restaurant Celebrating Melvin's Birthday

Last week (7/5/10) we BMC guys celebrated our Project Manager, Melvin's Birthday at one of our favorite spots in Abu Dhabi - Al Ibrahimi Restaurant. In the middle of that day, non of us remembered it was his birthday until my hand phone's alarm started to rang. Lucky that I've saved his birthday on my hand phone, else I'll also be one of the forgetful guys here. :p After realizing his birthday, I shyly wished him in the car as we are on our way to lunch in Sharjah, another Emirate (State) of UAE after a long meeting with our project's consultant. I bought him lunch as a birthday present and I realized that he was pretty happy about it later when Furby told me that he was talking about it in their office.

Later on the day I got the news that we are going to Al Ibrahimi Restaurant for dinner to celebrate Melvin's birthday. It is one of our bosses favorite place so go when celebrating any occasion due to that the food are nice, price are moderate and they serve Teh Tarik!

Just a week after my new lens purchase, it's time to put my 35mm AF-D f/2 to real action. The fast aperture is perfect for the low lighting condition and bokeh background shots.
