Hubby’s Birthday (Part 2)

Woo hoo, finally found time to blog again. Last week was crazy and I was drained out the whole week after 3 nights of OT. I wonder how my boss can stay till late at night and even early mornings?

So here’s Part 2 of my hubby’s birthday celebration! After the very full lunch/high tea, we went to walk around Ann Siang Hill. We wanted to find JJ Lin’s shop called SMUDGE but we couldn’t find it! Tsk, tsk, too guerilla already! But we took some nice shots of the place and I love the shops there, a lot of character and unique stuff, just that everything’s too expensive for my pocket!

Like this photo the most! You see Joe’s legs? And the shadow’s of my legs! Behind every successful man is a beautiful wife! =)

Then it was off to Bugis Village to search out a nice tote bag for Joe, hey Porter’s just totally beyond the budget! We also caught the movie Star Trek which was surprisingly quite a good movie! Then I brought Joe to check out Haji Lane , which he has never gone to!! Hey, shopaholics must know where all the shopping havens around Singapore are! Then we took a cab back home and that’s when the real Operation Birthday Surprise kicked in.

I had passed my keys to Ting who would open the door to some of the subzone/cg members to hide stuff aka “gifts” around the house and discretely hide themselves in some corner, ready to spring their surprise on Joe when we reached home! But alas, those who were supposed to come were late and we reached home earlier than scheduled! So the plan was changed that while Joe was having his shower, I would let them in to hide the stuff and hide themselves! The moment Joe stepped into the shower and the coast was clear, I did a quick text to Ting and had everyone in a frenzy to quickly run up from where they were hiding at the void deck and do what was needed.

They were panting and puffing by the time they got to my door step and in a few minutes, hid the stuff around the house as quietly as possible, tiptoeing and then rushed into the spare room where I knew Joe would go and hang his towel after his shower. I resumed my position on the sofa and started reading the newspapers as if nothing happened. All this time Joe was still happily showering away. Then I (and all the rest!) heard the click of the bathroom door and we all held our breath as the moment of truth was coming soon!

Joe (fully dressed!!) walked over to the spare room which was pitch black and started to hear a sound (they were singing “Happy Birthday!”). He was shocked and kinda creeped out so he screamed and lurched backwards! They were equally stunned, screamed too then starting laughing! It was hilarious! Too bad I din manage to catch Joe’s shocked face, he did try to do a reenactment!

Then it was time for Treasure Hunt! They had hidden $10, $2 notes and SKIN vouchers all around the house, in the freezer, behind the TV, under the photocopier flap, all over! They even tried to hide one behind Joe’s back. Thankfully it dropped off or it was going to be them screaming continuously, “HOT! HOT! HOT!” and Joe not knowing exactly where!

Check out the special operation force below! Thanks everyone for the effort and time! And though Joe said next time dun do it again cos he was so shocked his heart almost came out of his mouth, do something equally exciting cos he loves surprises! Wahahha!

Btw, there’s one more part for Joe’s birthday celebration. I am trying to edit a video of birthday speeches given to him! Watch out for it yah? =)))
