Mummy's Surprise Birthday Party...!!

As this birthday holds particular significance for Mummy, a surprise birthday was planned weeks in advance by Daddy the 2 Godmas Wendy and Adeline. Daddy had to correspond secretly via email to organize and send out the invites without giving the surprise away. The guest list included family members, friends from poly, university and work. Basically, anyone who Daddy thought mummy knew sometime in her life was invited.

The Godmas also made a special trip down to the venue to recce and choose the decor which Cindy liked. This included, pink table cloth and pink balloons with streamers which made the welcome entrance.

The menu also consisted a buffet spread with things Cindy liked to eat. This included cod fish, brocolli and even a mushroom pasta station with linguini.

Some of the guest that arrived before the surprise...

Adeline and Wendy explaining to the guest how the surprise was to be carried out. Cindy was up in the Senator suite expecting to come down to the chinese restaurant for a dinner with several family members at 8pm. All the guests were told to arrive by 7.45pm so as not to meet Cindy on the way. Once everyone had arrived, they were told to gathered at the entrance with lights turned down. Then they SMSed me for the cue to come down...

Daddy had to distract mummy by asking her to check out a "new childrens play area" before going down to the restaurant. Then as mummy walked in.....everyone shouted "SURPRISE HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" It was much of a surprise and shock as it was for Mummy as for Caitlyn. Didi who was disturbed by all the commotion cried...and had to return temporary to the suite.

Everyone approaching the birthday girl...to congratulate her.
Before dinner, Aunty Suk Mae said grace and a prayer for Mummy.

Some of the cute toddlers that we present, including Didi Evan, Leon, Noel, Xavier and YueEn.

Everyone wanted pictures with the birthday girl... from Aunty Pat to the musketeers Wendy, Suky & Adeline to good friends Yanling, Jane and former work colleagues.

It was time sing the birthday song and cut the 2kg Blueberry chocolate travona from Chef Icon Nature Bakery. Ever since discovering this shop, mummy had been requesting bread and cakes from there. Caitlyn was ever so eager to blow the 33 candles out for mummy...

Cindy was really happy that night... but she was really exhausted after spending so much time with family and friends and had to retire back to the room after the phototaking session. She later posted on facebook that she had the best birthday party ever and liked to thank the 3 musketeers and Alvin. This birthday will surely be etched in the memory of all her loved ones...forever!
