Happy Birthday Baby.

Helloooo finally updating cos I’ve managed to find time to. Okay so a lil throw back but I really wanna post a dedication up for my boy and I was gonna blog about his birthday anyway.

So I actually planned this cutesy surprise for him and obv couldn’t do it by myself, *secretly enlisted the help of his family and friends, who were all thankfully veryyyy cooperative I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to plan a surprise with. So basically I really love planning birthday or any sort of events for my loved ones, especially surprise ones, so I was really excited to plan this for him. And it was apparently the first time he got to celebrate with anyone except for his family on the actual day cos his birthday falls on hols period and he is always away on vacay so he never got to celebrate it with anyone on the actual day before, but thankfully this year they let him stay in Singapore for his birthday before flying off to be with them, so it made it that much more special.

I planned it a little over a month ahead cos I had sooo many submissions and exams week was rolling around just before his birthday so I wanted to get everything done ahead.

I am generally reallyyyyyy bad at keeping surprises, like I can keep surprises but it always kills me inside and cos I planned his sooo advanced I was pretty much dead by the time his birthday rolled around. & what made it worse was his constant bugging me about what we were gonna do for his birthday, I gave him misleading clues and eventually told him we were going to sentosa(which was BARELY half the plan) Hahaha anyway on his actual day his fam were already away in Shanghai so it was just me and him. He had a match in the early afternoon so I slept over the night before and already packed my stuff over. Cos he sleeps like a fucken pig I packed is stuff for him while he was sleeping(you’ll know why I had to pack extra stuff for him later).

Melting in the heat while waiting for him to finish his match.

After the match we were driving to sentosa and he was all whiny about he cant drink much or even at all cos he has to drive back home and all. (hahahaha) then when we were just about reaching the sentosa gateway I told him the first surprise, that I had already booked a room like weeks ahead and that we were not going home so he could drink as much as he wanted. His reaction was priceless, he was like NO SHIT. NOOOOO SHIT. ARE YOU SERIOUS RN. Hahaha priceless.

Sad part of the surprise was that we had trouble checking in and all which was reallyyyy annoying. Buuuuut cos my dad knew the GM and all he filed a complain and somehow they extended our check out time by 4 hours AND upgraded us to a SUITE. WHOT EVEN. Nic and I were like well. We only wanted like a later check out but that works too. 

The room was really nice, we checked in really late so when we finally settled in it was late and I didn’t manage to get pictures cos I was running on a really tight schedule. So we headed out to dinner which he picked, had a feeling he’d pick Chili’s anyway. He was like a lil kid all excited to order the ribs and all. We absolutely loooooove Chili’s and on birthdays they give free brownies and it was really cute.

Such a Beauté.

Aaaaaand, my gluttonwong destroying the beauty.

Soooo cute.

After our super yumz dinner I whisked him back to the room and to change into beach attire and headed to the beach. I made him pick the place he wanted to go, BUT I already knew which beach club he would picked and booked a cabana AND even got his friends to come down and surprise him there. It was really cute cos we were just casually walking in and I was are you suuuuure you wanna go to Mambo? He was like yeahhh and I was like “obv I know you too well.” Then as we were walking in he saw one of his friends and his reaction was like hoooly shit is that kaizhong?! I didn’t actually plan out how the “surprise” part was gonna come out so I just smiled at him and nodded my head then we walked towards the cabana and he saw his other friends and was like holy shiiiiit it was so cute I couldn’t even. But yeah I managed to get 3 of his really close friends to come down cos a few of the others were either away on vacay or have NS which was really sad but I they all left cutesy greetings for him. We pretty much drank the night away it was reallyyy nice. AAAAND the cherry on top of the night, he got drunk. Hahaha I felt really bad cos I’d never seen him so badly drunk. He rolled into his 19^th birthday wasted, how nice.

Special thanks to Bryan, KaiZhong and Chuan for helping me make his birthday a success. Wouldn't have done it without you guys. 

my Mr.KO is 19. HAHA

When we woke up the next day he just kept apologising for the night before cos he was puking like every 5 mins and i had to keep cleaning up. (made him feel really horrible I'm sure) Then i showed him this video montage i'd made from lil cute greetings from his family member and some of his friends. He was "awwwww" all over the place it was super cute. 

too Precious.

We had DTF for breakfast, got back to the room, cuddled a little then went to check the hotel out a bit before packing up and leaving back home, the short stacay was really nice, I would’ve definitely loved to stay longer but he had a flight to catch the next day so that sucked slightly. 

Lovin this halter top from River island and these pair of cute daisy lounge shorts from primark. 

I really liked the concept of their pool. It was like a mini version of the MBS one.

We also had a really nice(pre-planned) birthday day with my parents cos they wanted to take I'm out for a nice meal. We went to Da Paolo, which my family and i absolutely love eating at. And os i knew he looooved the tiramisu cake there we ordered one for him. It was a really good meal. and great company. 

Absolute fav, their calamari.

First time trying their salad with foie gras, surprisingly goes really nicely together.

Crabmeat tagliatelle, loved it but was a bit too rich for my mom's liking.

ABSOLUTE FAVE. Their lobster Arrabiatta was amazing. 

Truffle mushroom pizza

My dad's monster of a steak burger.

Babe's mushroom risotto. I think it was really good, But babe was like "your risotto is still better" awwwww.

  

It was a really nice but short 2 day celebration But it was overall a success and I hoped he had a nice time!

Happy Birthday Baby, you are such a blessing and I hope you know that. Study hard and stop doubting yourself alright? I will always be here for you and i will always believe in you. I wish you all the love and happiness life has to offer. Here’s to spending many more Birthdays together. 

I love you.
