April bequeathed me love from my colleagues

Post Bahau-Johor-Melaka roadshow, I resumed duties at the office only to find the sweetest surprise waiting to greet me on my desk.

Cue: right side of the picture.

Our creative team members, specifically Su Sien and Tiffany had taken the effort to made me a hanging mobile in the form of my very own mug. hehe.

I showed Spooky and Spookz said my eyes are only 1/4 of the girl's eyes .__. siao siao lor.



Anyhow, I absolutely adore the mobile! tee hee hee. I thought the muse behind it was from my CNY do as depicted in the pic below.




Because my Mandarin name sort of sounds like ducky, I get these adorable ducks too! ^_^

The whole mobile as you can see. =)

And that's not all, the lovely crazy bunch brought me out for dinner at TGIF and helped me build my Domokun army below! *rawrRRR*





Really don't know what I did to deserve such love and I really really appreciate it. No amount of thank you is sufficient for me to express to everyone involved in this birthday operation.

^_^ arigato gozaimasu, from the depths of my heart...

Look who's quarter of a century now

I am deeply humbled and overwhelmed by the massive amount of love and birthday wishes which I've received today.

My heartfelt gratitude goes out to EVERYONE who have in a way or other touched me for my coming of a quarter century old.

Happy Birthday, Buang Boy! Surprise!

We're gonna pick up something for Cassie's wedding dinner tomorrow.
Really? Cool!
Faster laa. I meeting people at 7 pm.
Okay! Coming!


In the car...

So where're we going?
Bukit Damansara.
Oh, how do we get there?
I dunno.

*shocked silence*


At Bukit Damansara..

Are we at Jln Beringin?
Uh dunno.. yaya! I saw the sign. So what's next?
Jln Setiabakti.

What are we picking up ah?
It's a crate of wine. Someone sponsored it.
So nice. Who ah?
I think it's Dan's uncle.
Can you get down and help me carry the stuff?
Sure. Yay, we get to keep a bottle for picking up.

Note the gullibility *snickers*


All eyes scrutinising...

It's here!
Noo... that's Setiabudi. *smacks*


Makes a big detour around Medan Damansara.

What are you looking for now?
A Secret Recipe.
Ohhh... Secret Recipe. I think I know where.
Wah Irshad, you so smart la. I should have asked you earlier.

*Buu sneaks slitty eye look at me*

Well, if you've had mentioned earlier that we're looking for Secret Recipe we'd have #$%^&* (inaudible since I covered his mouth by that time)

We met the legendary baking maestro Fatboybakes and picked up the "crate of wine". Someone's eyes nearly popped out.


On the way back to car..

Surprise!
*still shocked & can't stop laughing*


In the car..

Wasn't that the celebrity baker? You got me birthday cakes from the celebrity baker? Aaaack! How awesome is that! *hugs cakes all the way home*

.... turn left or go straight?
Straight!
Eh.. Stop! Traffic light laa.
Den you should tell me! It's not straight. It's STOP & go straight. *smacks*

*fight all the way home*

House of Cats

A visit to the House of Cats is always a chockful experience of vibrant colours, scents, sights, mouth-watering food and jolly people.

The Mistress's prided shoe collection. One out of three tiers of them. Something out of the ordinary shoe collection that one would expect, isn't it?

One of Princess Sophie's bounty from Chatuchak market.

The drape that precedes the dining table. No, this picture is not doing it justice, I assure you.

Cupcakes lovingly made from scratch by the Mistress and the birthday lady's sisters!

** I named the cosy shack House of Cats as the mistress during her prime time used to keep about 29 cats in her house. The mistress is a kitty-loving person, would not tolerate animal cruelty and had also been featured in the papers before for her incredible hobby.

Surprise~

A dainty cup of frothy cappucino for a delicate man..

A humongous plate of appetizer that caught us unaware
There were scallops, mussels, smoked salmon, grilled peppers & aubergines, drizzled with homemade Thousand Island sauce & crumbled cheese.
Thumbs up!

Spicy tomato soup,
hmmm.. something new.


Spaghetti Aglio Olio
Wasn't really impressive.. easily forgettable.

Lasagne
Its look wasn't delectable in the first place,
and sadly didn't live up to the supreme cheesy taste either.
Contained grated carrots, maybe bunnies might like it.

The surprise that was left wrapped.
The proprietor came and put the cake, which was still IN the box, on our table. Boy almost had a fit. hee~

The biggest surprise. :)

Boy: There's 23 roses innit!
Me: 23? Why ah.. *scratch scratch*
Boy: Your age lar....
Me: oOo... *malu*

The morning thereafter...

I still couldn't get enough of the flowers & woke boy up in the wee hours to insist that we take a picture together.
Bodoh poyol punye perempuan... haha.

I almost forgot, it's also my blog's birthday.
Belated birthday cheers, bloggy dear! I love you!

Last but not least, an out-of-this-world hug to the boy who took great pains (I mean real gargantuan efforts!) to make it happen.

~* You're a gem & I love you *~

***Food is from The Baronia in Tmn Segar, Cheras.

Happy birthday to you whom I learnt how to cherish.. and hold on to things.
