❤❤Our love story❤❤: Vincent's 2012 Birthday Bash

This year is the 3rd year where I'm celebrating birthday with Vincent, my lover, soon to be hubby *blekkk*

For every year, I will try my best to throw him surprises regardless it's the surprises from the gift, the dinner, the event or how I should be celebrating his birthday.

Year 2010
I still remember the 1st year, where we just started to hold our hand, 2 months from our first day, I'm trying to throw him surprise by taking 1/2 day leave just to make it for the celebration lunch with him. In fact, I had requested his colleagues to bring him out for a lunch outside (nearby Kota Kemuning), so I could surprise him by turning out with a cake on my hand (isn't that sweet?). Unfortunately, I had bump into accident while in the way to Kota Kemuning from my office, and I'm stuck at police station until the end of the day. Sighhh~~

Thankfully, I did plan for the dinner as well and also the surprise gift for him on his 1st year birthday celebration with me. I had ordered a customized cup-cake 2 months earlier with a cup-cake baker I sourced online. Anyway, you can read more about 2010 birthday celebration here, "Vincent 2009 Birthday Celebration"

Vincent Birthday Celebration year 2010 ^_^

Year 2011
Then come 2nd year, 2011 where I plan even earlier than first year. I throw him a surprise party with my chums and buddies by bringing him "secretly" to Putrajaya for a quick couple photoshoot, which I had bought 3 months ago.

I want to make his birthday memorable and of course to be cherish and remembered forever. That's why I decided to engage a professional photographer to capture our special moments. Proven I had make the right decision, and it did captured all the sweet memories. I still felt so happy seeing our celebration.

I still remember, how I fold-blinded him all the way (while I drive to Putrajaya) and usher him to the park with the help of my buddies. It was so special and I think I did it! LOLX! *happy*

With all who helped for our birthday

Happy Birthday

Our special moment - when he open his eyes, and tadaaaaaa~ We are at Putrajaya Park! ^_^

Year 2012
Now this year, a year to be remembered where this year will be last year where I will be celebrating with him as his "girlfriend". Hahaha! Of course the treatment as boyfriend is more as compare to husband! HAHAHAHAH! No la, just the responsibilities as wife is different when it comes to surprises.

Anyway, back to this year surprise, it really a challenge for me this year ; why? ;

i) I'm away for business trip (at Genting) for his birthday . Yes, on his actual birthday day 30th August 2012.
ii) I have no time to do anything especially getting him personalized or special gift because too busy with alot of things, work, house, ROM, etc...

With above challenge, my job work load make me more headache when I need to think something good or better than last year celebration. I have been searching for some personalized gift, such as photo puzzle, photo caricature, model caricature, etc but all need time for delivery,whereby I only have less than 3 weeks for preparation.

To prepare the gift, I decided to get the caricature (hand-drawn caricature) from Genting since I'm away to Genting for business trip a week before his birthday. The effort of this, after the meeting and dinner ended at 10:00pm, and I proceed to First World and stand for 45 minutes waiting for my turn to draw the photo of me and Vincent. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, I manage to get the caricature done :) Gift, CHECKED!!

Finish drawing me, and waiting to draw Vincent

The finished product :)

Being me, who like to throw surprise, I decided to do a slideshow which document our up and down as pre-birthday gift while waiting for the BIG surprise when I'm back. I present this gift to him through Facebook ^_^

While on the surprise, considering I will only be back on night on his actual birthday, I can't do much to surprise him. But thanks to my group of friends, who willing to help, we had come up with the plan to decorate our house while he is away to fetch me. Thanks to Donna on her idea, and yes we manage to surprise him ( I guess) :) Thanks to Tobby, we also manage capture the moment on video and I had made a special MV for this moment.

In prior to that, I need to pass the house spare keys to June who stay nearby so they could come in to decorate house without him noticing it. Next thing, I need Tobby and Donna's help to collect the Jelly cake which I've ordered online a week ago.

Something funny happen on that night, while I was dragging Vincent's time having dinner somewhere nearby, June called me saying ;

June : "Elaine, we're at your house but we couldn't get in!"
Elaine : "Why???"
June : "The spare key that you gave to us does not have the key for the wooden door to go into your house"
Elaine : *speechless******* And further to request "Can you come and collect from me here at XXXXXX"
June : "Ok" & Zoooooooooooooommm to drive to my dinner place.

But however, another headache I need to think how to pass the key without letting Vincent know about this. By keep on thinking, "No way, I cannot failed this, cannot waste everyone effort!!" Then come to mind, to fake receiving a phone call and walk towards outside and dump the keys to June who is already waiting outside! Fuhhh~ Luckily, the innocent Vincent doesn't know or notice anything about it.

And finally, thanks to the effort despite of obstacles and challenges, we successfully surprise him when he about the enter the house!
