Happy Birthday, Chean

Me
Chean

Darling, I've booked a window seat table at Chart House (an expensive restaurant in town) on Sat (which means last Sat). Are you exciting about it?

You know what, I don't really want to celebrate this year.

Why? Why not? It'll be fun!

A relaxing evening with homemade dinner sounds fun too, we don't really need to go to Chart House. Most of all, my ultimate birthday wish is to Save Money.

Com'on, it's your birthday! Can you just loosen up a little and treat yourself better?

It's my birthday, that's why I want to make the call. Can I just have my birthday celebration done in the way I desired?

Well, you can imagine how bad it goes for the rest of our conversation.

Eventually, Chean won. No Chart House, no over-the-top-celebration, no relaxing homemade dinner either. It's his birthday after all.

I got really pissed off at some points he doesn't want to celebrate his birthday with me. It still piss me off now, seriously.

Don't tell me you don't really care about your birthday too, even if you don't care about it as much as I do, you still wish to celebrate your day with someone special, you still wish someone will remember your special day! So, stop bullshitting.

Anyway, I get pass it (though it's hard) and secretly plan his birthday celebration with his colleagues.

Yup, we are going to do it in your office, you can't say NO
. Hahaha...

I baked these blueberries cupcakes for him.

It takes me about 5 hours, from packaging, frosting to cupcakes. Phewww...

They turn out professionally great in terms of taste and presentation :)

birthdaycake
I also bought a birthday cake at bakery store, just in case my cupcakes screw up :p

Here we go!!! I brought everything to his office to surprise him. More than 20 of his colleagues shout out his name "Chean-Wei Law" loud before the compulsory birthday song. Chean was overwhelmed a little and surprisingly shocked when he sees me and Miyaki!

Enjoying the cakes. What a nice tea break :p

gift
His buddies got him a very thoughtful gift. "Time for a change" written on the box. We wonder what's inside.

mark+chean
It's a purple sweater from American Apparel. Chean, you shouldn't wear the same purple sweater all the time. Hahaha...

That's what Chean's birthday all about. Sorry for the lack of photos people, I was busy taking care of Miyaki. Thanks to everyone, especially Mark Jacobs, who makes his birthday memorable and unforgettable.

If you can't make it on Chean's birthday, yet you want to deliver your very best wishes to him, now it's your turn!

I'm collecting 100 birthday wishes for him. Help me to realize this mission, please ;)

A big thank you and a big kiss from me in advance... Muakssss...
