Friday :)

Yay.. finally our long-waited Friday is here! Today was quite busy at work, so time flied super fast! After finished work, I had dinner with a best friend of mine, Tina and of course, with her beloved and Derrick as well :P We went to a very unique and classic restaurant in town, Edelweiss. If you would like to see the food and environment pictures, you can have a look here. That was quite long time since our last meeting back in June. We chatted about our incoming trip, interest in toys and of course some happenings around us recently. We had an enjoyable dinner. Derrick and Henry are always complaining that me and Tina can never stop talking once we sit down till the moment we leave. Haha.. what to do, we are really having that many things to talk about! :P

Our lovely cupcake is up in Ween's blogspot!

If you refer back to my post about Derrick's birthday back in September, you should know that I had customized a cake for Derrick on his birthday. 

I was just browsing through on Ween Nie's blogspot (Ween Nie was the one that prepared the cake for me) and I found out that our cake was posted on her blogspot!

If anyone of you would like to have a look on how creative she is, feel free to visit her blogspot at www.love-a-cupcake.blogspot.com :)

Derrick's big day - 18th September 2008

18th of September 2008 - 

We celebrated Derrick's birthday together for the third year since we became what people call, love birds.

I still remember vividly the moment I was busy preparing his birthday surprise this year to make it a special occasion. Since we go through the same thing every year, I thought of doing something different as a surprise. I wrecked my brain for weeks (maybe months) thinking what is worth me doing this year!! Finally, I came across an idea, “Why not I order a set of custom made cupcakes since it is something trendy?" It is so hard for me to keep this as a "secret" from Derrick (We share every piece of news together so I guess you all understand how difficult I felt for weeks to keep my mouth shut) as I get excited every time I think of the birthday cake! 

Besides that, I have also bought him his favourite Nike Jordan T-shirts, and also his favourite soccer team - Manchester United's jersey! One small thing I also bought for myself, a girl-sized Manchester United's jersey (same design), so that we have another set of couple tee :)

When the day finally arrived, after finishing off my work, I rushed to Gurney Plaza (my ever loving shopping mall in Penang) to collect the long-waited custom made cupcakes! I got Tina to accompany me to collect the cake. The moment I saw the cake, I shouted out, "Wow, that was a perfect piece of work! The design was …… PERFECT!" Great thanks to Ween Nee, a friend of Tina's who helped me to prepare and decorate the cake :)

The very moment I reached home, Derrick was there playing with Rudolph (Just as I expected it). He saw me carrying a box but never asked a word what was inside the box until I opened it up and showed him the cake. I bet he never expected his birthday cake to be customized /personalized in that way (I didn't expect to come up with this idea myself, too).

When he saw his birthday cake, he was speechless, and the first word out from his mouth was, "Wow". He gave me a big hug in return, and as usual, he grabbed hold of his camera to capture the special moment by taking pictures of the cake specially made for him  - Thank God that he loved it. 

The following night, we had our dinner in Sakae Sushi (Queensbay Mall) with one of our friends, Ben. Another friend, Pow, was supposed to join us for the dinner, but she could not make it the very last minute! Ended up, we have only 4-1 = 3 persons. We filled up our stomachs with loads of sushi and rolls, and as a sushi lover, what I can say about the meal is it is simply delicious! We had a wonderful dinner and also a great celebration together!
