Passion is Thy Name!

Remember that little secret I had?
.
It’s actually 2-pronged.

1. The surprise birthday party.
2. The FUN we get to have during the party.

I couldn’t write much about it coz I know the birthday gal visits this space regularly…but now that it’s over and done with, I can shout out to the rest of the world!
.
Firstly, the Surprise.
.
With my partner-in-crime aka her dear, we planned for friends to gather at my place while waiting for them to return from their Ipoh day-trip.
.
It went pretty well. She was totally clueless - even when she saw the many folks at my place. Thinking it was another regular cooking session at my place, she hadn’t the faintest idea that we were all gathered at my place for HER.
.
Then, a late-comer arrived and shouted "Surprise!" to everyone’s horror! The surprise, which was hidden in my fridge, wasn’t revealed then.
.
The awkward moment lasted all of 3 seconds before someone coughed and made a silly sound, someone else tried to tell a joke, and the birthday gal soon forgot abt the shout of "Surprise!".
.
When we finally brought out the surprise, which was her fav - Strawberry Cheesecake from Haagen Dazs, the look on her face was priceless!
.
Here’s the birthday gal.

Secondly, the FUN.
.
Hmmm…how should I describe that? Let’s just say everyone OD-ed on it and KO-ed rather fast. One minute I was laughing with some friends at the balcony and the next minute I was in my room with Sweetheart next to me. Stumbled out of my room and saw a few folks KO-ed on the couch, on the beanbag and in the activity room. Oh well, I climbed back into bed and was soon fast asleep again, snuggled warmly against my man.

Here are some shots taken when everyone was still sober and conscious.

Can you spot the birthday gal?
