ah..how sweet..i had been planning hard to give her a very memorable birthday celebration. well, things turned out just perfectly well and i'm glad she loved it. *smile*
right, allow me to reveal the master plan.
i knew there would be more than one celebration. that had been confirmed with dear (part of my plan). dear was very persistence. she knew there would be one from me, so she kept hinting me about where and when i would do this and that. of course, i let nothing out of the bag. information i gave her was graded 'restricted'. ok, she knew there would be one and also the venue for dinner. but that's that.
i took a week to give it a serious thought as i was too caught up with work. first of all, i thought i would only join xuan, leon, wah and jy to give dear a celebration. then i thought i didn't want to get involve with the surprise they were throwing. that left me with a pool of ideas from which i could pick from. in that pool were rose, bracelet, pendant, watch, and, not forgetting, a brithday cake.
the rose: i could get the florist to deliver a bouquet of roses to dear's place in the morning so she would be thrilled. at night, we would have a lovely dinner at miss clarity.
the pendant: she likes a pendant with two metals. we saw one at lee hwa jewellery. get it and surprised her at eski bar.
the watch: a casio sheen watch. surprised her at miss clarity.
it was mentally taxing to pick one from that pool. i had to find out exactly where to get all those stuff and how much they would cost (not that i'm rich, but budgetting is needed). on wednesday, thursday and friday, i went downtown, up north and west-ward to do my research. it was physically exhausting and i had to lie to dear about my whereabouts.
finally, i decided on a watch and a pendant. the pendant wasn't from lee hwa though. the cake came as a surprise as dear's brother told me he would get the cake and the family would celebrate with her. so, i bought the watch from up north and the pendant from west-ward. i would surprise her with the pendant at eski bar. then at miss clarity for dinner, i would surprise her with the watch. perfect.
but what about the other items she likes? i haven't count them out yet. they would appear right before her eyes in time to come. very soon. *wink*
