If there is one common thing in all the birthday parties that I have attended, it is that they are all held at night. Ian’s 21st celebration was a lunch party. I have attended wedding lunches but birthday lunch?? Now that’s a first for me =)

The main reason for holding it in the afternoon was to cater to his family, who formed the majority of his guests. Still, the celebration of manhood can never do without some alcohol, or at least some relation to it. Thus his decision to have it at Durty Nellys, an Irish Pub conveniently located @ Marina Square.

The interior design of the pub has a slight element of authentic Irish Pub aura, creating a laid back feel. An ideal place to chill with friends, temporarily taking you away from the hustle and bustle of Singapore. On this day, family was top priority and the presence of low chairs made it convenient for children and the elderly.

Lunch consisted of sandwiches, pies and other finger food…a simple yet delicious affair, the Irish way…

Tuna Sandwich…my favourite =)

Corn Beef Sandwich

Mini Guiness & Steak Pies

Sausage Rolls

Fish Fillet

Chicken Fillet

Roasted Potatoes

What’s a birthday without a birthday cake?

And the 21st century way of cutting cake =p

Next up was taboo with friends…

and a  short “performance” from Jay.

Some of us got high from the afternoon beer, but that certainly did not stop us from making new friends…

Happy 21st Ian!!
