Blessed birthday- part 1

Blessed Birthday Part 1

My birthday party was a smashing success, all thanks to my mum and especially Stephen, without whom the party would not have been possible, as cliche as it might sound. It was really super tiring to prepare for the party. The cooking of the food took almost the whole day,and I helped out in whatever way I could, but my mum was really the main chef. And my aunties contributed an item each. What I did was to bake a cheesecake and a breadpudding and some giant hersheys cookies. But it was worth it as everyone praised the food highly.

Stephen came early to help decorate the room. And he was so concentrated in the task at hand and when I saw the finished work, I was like wow. I really have him and my mum to thank. If not, I would have to keep running up and down to get everything set up. As it was, I didn't really do much because they did everything for me, so I was all the more touched.

I found it especially touching when I watched the video of me that Stephen put up before the cake cutting There were pictures of me all the way from I was a baby, through different stages of my life,even the ugly and hideous pictures of me. I was highly suspicuous when I saw that Stephen brought his laptop and later on there was a projector. Little did I know that my mum had actually planned the surprise and both of them ganged up to keep it a secret. No wonder he was so busy this few days, so much so that I actually felt ignored. Sorry dear.

The party itself was like a dream, coming and passing so fast. And by the end of it all, I was tired out. But it was really great to see all of them gathered in one place. And I flited around, trying to mingle with the guests and I honestly really enjoyed myself alot, and laughed so much. It was really a night to remember, once in a lifetime experience. And once again, I felt so blessed cos I had my loved ones around me to celebrate with me.

And my 'takings' for the night was really tremendous. I got everything I wanted and more. I got the Anna Sui Dolly on the Beach that I really wanted from Linda, yumin, jul and Cindy. And the Incanto Cheers from Brennan(thank goodness they got diff ones.heh). An abercrombie & fitch bag from my cousin, a surfer girl beach bag from my cg, a crumpler bag from my mum's friends, a SPA package from cuz cecilia(which is in some very posh place), a beautiful necklace from Wendy, Zara voucher(where I can buy a nice work jacket) from Kaetna, a 'key' necklace from one of my aunt and of course the Tissot watch from HP which he gave a long time ago and a beautiful bouquet of flowers from two male cousins(which I kept exclaiming over). Last but not least was the diamond cross necklace that my mum gave me..

Like I said, this is not all yet.. I am soo so blessed. And thank u to my friends who celebrated it with me, I appreciate each and everyone's presence. I posted up some pictures, but there would be more coming..
