Bitter Sweet, Thursday.

21st August 2009

Its Helen's birthday.
And she was not aware about it.
:D

Because she was born in a family with traditional values.
Hence, her birthday was base on the Chinese lunar calender instead.

Anyway, it took me quite sometimes to figure out her actual birthday.
Lots of research was done, online and through books.
:/

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow colleague.
Without them, this would never be possible.

Royston and Peng, for their assistance and participation.
Vinky, for sacrificing her time to get the donuts.
Jasilan, for diverting her away from us.
Ketty, for her moral support.
Andy for the laughter.



Before Her Birthday

Well, its been a long time since I did this.
I still remember, the last one was for Min Hui.
:)

So, I started my planning a week in advance.
Gathering people and listen to their suggestions.
I've got loaded with things in my mind.
:S

The initial plan was to get our birthday girl a cake.
Preferably a good and nice Tiramisu cake.
And give her a surprise celebration.
Likely, at New York New York.

However, its not easy to get a good Tiramisu cake.
And its very expensive to dine at New York New York.
Worst of all, time is running out at an extremely high speed.
:O

When all the plans failed, look around you,
Turned even the worst into something sweet.
This is what I deeply believe.
;)

So without hesitation, I draw out plan Z version 4.2.
Celebrating a birthday without birthday cake.
Go to Hong Kong instead of New York.

On Her Birthday

With the help from Jasilan, Helen was being diverted away.
We made use of the short period of time, doing our final preparation.

This is a 'birthday donuts' and it was used to celebrate Helen's birthday.
Because I can't find a good Tiramisu birthday cake.
That's why I came up with this bad idea.


The awaited hour came.
She entered the lockers room and found a box of donuts with a candle, on the table.
Unaware that it was her birthday, she walked silently across the room with a puzzle look.

Everyone in the lockers room stare at her, while she walked across the room.
All of a sudden, all of us broke out into laughter together.

Seriously, the blur look on her face was priceless.
She did not believe it was her birthday and was shocked by our surprise.

She tried very hard to deny, as she thought that it was not her birthday.
And she even thought that we are teasing her.

Finally, I walk up to her and assured her that its her birthday.
We sang her the happy birthday song, with the birthday donuts on her hand.


Honestly, her smile is sweet.
That is what made her so addictive to me.

As her boyfriend, these were the best that I could give her.
I know its not the best, but I hope it had made her happy.
:P


These were part of the people, who stayed back late to celebrate her birthday.
The rest of them, went home early with the birthday donuts in their hands.

BTW, where is Vinky and Andy?
Oh! Vinky was the one taking this picture and Andy went to toilet.



Aftermath

Helen, Vinky, Peng, Royston, Andy and me.
We head down to the Xin Wang (Hong Kong) cafe near Suntec City, for dinner.


Lastly, Helen got something to tell you guys.
She wanna thank us all, for the surprise.
Its will be well remembered by her.


Anyway, I shall not go further.
Its getting late and I need to sleep already.

I'll shall end my post, with my cute picture of that day.
Can?
