Birthday cake from Sister.
Heheh. So, on 18th April 2009, before BF came to fetch me, sister bought me a birthday cake. My family gave me red packets and besides that, Mom gave me a very meaningful gift – a “21st” logo pendant. I’ve always wanted that and few years ago, I told Mom about it. Surprisingly she told me that even when I didn’t ask that from her, she already knew I wanted it and had already bought the pendant long ago. I felt really touched when she gave it to me and I gave her a big fat hug. Mom’s always the best.. but besides her, I know I can count on my BF too!

BF was very mysterious and he gave me a lot of suspenses on that actual day (oh, many thoughtful surprises too. read on!). I can’t believe how amazing he is as a Boyfriend (I’m sure he makes a good husband material too!). He always put in a lot of effort to make me feel special especially during such significant ocassion. I always feel that he’s very different from other guys.. he does thing very differently and he’s a man way beyond my imagination at some point of time.
Anyway, BF reached my place at about 3:15pm and he looked all exhausted and sweaty. I thought it was because of the hot weather and the journey from his place to my place and hence the look. However, I noticed something was missing – he didn’t carry anything with him (my gifts???). I knew he had it all hided somewhere. I was totally confused and had mixed feelings coz’ I didn’t know what was he up to.
We took a cab from my lobby and he told the taxi driver to take us to Marina Square. Again, I felt weird. “Why are we going there?” I asked BF. He said he planned to take me for dinner in the evening but as it was still early, he wanted to bring me there for shopping first (of course, it comes with those cheeky expression). I was like “Huh?! On such an important occasion, you bringing me for shopping?!” I was speechless but in my heart, I knew he had it all planned.
When we reached the Taxi Stand, he said he needed to go get something and when we took the escalator up, he brought me to another direction leading to the Pan Pacific Hotel. He told me since it was still early, he decided to bring me there to chill as his friend had recommended him that there was a newly opened cafe/pub in that hotel. I was like “Really meh?! You booked a hotel room is it!!!” He just kept giving me those cheeky (and of course, very cute!) expression and kept grinning away. I was totally stunned when we stood infront of the reception. HE REALLY BOOKED A HOTEL ROOM IN PAN PACIFIC! After all the check-in procedures (had to register myself too), we proceed to 16th floor. When we were in the lift, I had an unexplainable feeling.. I felt so excited, so loved, so speechless.. It was just so unbelievable and I couldn’t even put them into words. It felt like as though I was floating in the air with almost a suffocated feeling of being choaked with the “Love Air” surrounded me.
When we reached 16th floor, he asked me to wait outside and not go in with him. He needed to set up the video camera (to record my retarded surprised look LOL) and to make sure everything was ok-ay inside. I waited impatiently outside the door and couldn’t stop pacing up and down.. Geessshh. When he finally invited me and closed my eyes with his hands, I felt very nervous and definitely anxious to see what was going to unfold. When I saw it, I was astounded, really.





Look at the bed! See how much effort he has put in, ALONE!!
I teared when I saw the bed.. the balloons.. the rose petals.. the gifts.. the overall layout. I couldn’t believe he did it all himself without any help or ideas from anybody. He actually went to check-in himself earlier at about 1pm by cab (he spent a lot on cabs.. probably close to $80) and decorated the bed and made sure everything was ok-ay and he came to fetch me after that. That explained his sweaty and exhausted look! He is just so amazing!

Of course, such a beautiful bed had to be matched with a beautiful lady. Hence, the photo above. LOL. I was too busy exploring the room and telling him how sweet he was that I took a while to notice his gift. I first read the card and when I read it half-way, I teared again! When I opened the gift, I teared again! I teared because BF isn’t working now but he’s always so generous when comes to pampering me. He never think twice when he needed to buy me something. Even a S$6.00 magazine would stopped him.. but spending a bomb on me didn’t.
Here’s what the card says:
Dearest Wifey,
A very HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO YOU! You’re 21 now and officially an adult. Don’t you feel honored to celebrate this special once-in-a-lifetime occasion with me? Well, I’m sure you do.
I hope you like the surprises I planned for you and the gift. It took me a lot of efforts and careful considerations to plan your birthday so eventfully. Haha. Sometimes I ask myself why am I doing so much for you and spending so much money to make you happy. The answer is simple. It’s because I truly LOVE you and am so deeply in love with you that spending so much on you is nothing to me. What is most important to me is to see that sweet smile of yours and the tears of joy streaming down your pretty face.
Well, this is one of the most important occasions in life and I want you to remember this moment forever. We will definitely have more of such important celebrations in years to come.
We’ve been together for almost 3 years now and may our love for each other get stronger each day. Each new day is a new learning experience for us to adapt to each other and we must always be willing to learn each other’s way of doing things so we may live together peacefully. And I do want to tie the knot with you one day too. You’ve been such a big part of my life and I LOVE you so much that no words can describe.
Well, to conclude, I wish you happiness, good health and may you find your direction in life soon.
Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
Love,
Hubby
Isn’t he the sweetest man on earth? I have to agree that, yes, I LOVE EVERYTHING HE HAD DONE FOR ME!! This 21st birthday couldn’t get any better without him. He made it all possible – special, memorable and most importantly, his presence and his efforts! It was a great moment with him as I could feel as though we were like married couple already.
After reading the card, I sat on the bed and started to unwrap the gift. I wasn’t very sure what it was and I thought it could be some gaming console… I was, again, stunned when I saw what he bought. It was just so RIGHT ON TIME!

He bought me a new CAMERA! It was just so right on time as my current camera is giving me a lot of cranky problems.. it gets so hot (almost able to cook an egg) when I used it for a short while. Anyway, BF bought me a Fujifilm Finepix J150w Camera. The features were good, better than my current one! He knows I love gadgets! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!


I know if he had more money to spend, he would probably buy me a DSLR camera or some sorts.. But hey, this camera already cost him almost S$300! What a big hole in his pocket. Hotel almost S$200 a night.. plus the camera.. plus cab fares… up to this point, he spent almost S$600!!!
Loving us!
As I knew he would spend a lot and coincidentally, I wanted to buy him his favorite PS3 games, I took this chance to give it to him as well. In addition, I handmade a very lovely poster for him (not of scrapbooking design though!).

When I gave the gift to him, he wasn’t sure what it was. He thought it was some books (weird guess!). But apprently, part of his brain he knew it was some games…. When he opened it up, he was delighted! From his look I knew he was happy. Very happy (I hope. Hehehe). I bought him a PS3 Skate and Skate 2. His wish to have it but couldn’t bear to part that kind of money for those stuffs and so, wifey was there to grant his wish!
See! He is VERY HAPPY!
Tsk tsk. It was indeed a very happy day for us both.


Well, he was also telling me that he would like to bring me out for dinner and had already reserved a table. It cost about S$120. As I thought it would be nice to have a in-room dining experience, I told him he should actually cancel the reservation and we should just eat-in instead. However, as the menu didn’t really attract us (especially the prices), I decided to dine at a restaurant in Marina Square instead. After which, we could also get back early to the hotel and relax. Help save cost too! Gees.
We chose Billy Bombers (my favorite!) and I had an enjoyable dinner there with him. It already cost about S$70.


We had Cheese Fries, Sirloin Steak and Chicken + Ribs. Very yummylicious. Now I’m craving for their cheese fries again.. sinfully yummy.
After the dinner, we went around shopping. Apparently the supermarket there had closed long ago, we had no choice but to proceed to 7-Eleven to grab some wine and snacks (ripped off prices… grrr). When we went back to the hotel, BF was very mysterious again. He asked me to stay in the toilet till he asked me to go out. I wasn’t sure at that moment what was going on.. but later could feel that he was actually preparing a cake! And yes, that was what he was doing! He bought me a cake and he gave me another surprise with it!

I was very shocked because initially when we were in the hotel before dinner, I still asked him if there was any fridge in the hotel room. He told me there was none and I felt weird but didn’t think too much about it.. But apparently, he was LYING! He HID the cake in there and I was so foolish to believe at that point of time that there were no fridge! Now I know next time I should rummage all corners…… He is that cunning. Ohmigosh. But I was very elated again and I think I teared again too! Couldn’t remember how many times I teared exactly coz’ that day was really emotional (in a happy way).

See, I told you, I WAS ELATED!!
We spent a night together like old married couples and had mac delivery the next morning! Check-out at 3PM and headed home!
The interior of the hotel.. GORGEOUS!
I still couldn’t really believe what had happened on my 21st birthday and things he had prepared and the feelings are just so surreal. I couldn’t imagine how a guy wouldn’t complain a single bit when spending too much on his GF.. especially when he isn’t working and have no savings.. For this special occasion, he had already spend near S$800 I believe. He’s so awesome and I couldn’t believe how many times had we almost lost one another unintentionally. It was so foolish. Relationship’s never easy if you thought it is.. especially when you’re so committed to it. We’ve come this far and have always been planning about our future. I really do hope that one fine day we’ll tie the knot and may we have many kids! Soon time passes, we’ll have many grand kids.. I don’t know how words can describe my love for him but yes, if he ever pop that question, I’ll say “I DO!” Sounds very desperate, I know. But I believe I’ve found the man I want to spend the rest of my life with.. to celebrate every single occasions with him, to spend every of my birthday with him and to have him by my side forever.
Thank You, Baby for making this 21st birthday of mine a perfect one. I appreciate all you had done.. all the efforts you had put in and how tedious it was. I know as I can see and can feel it. You’re such a perfect man. Boy, I wish time would stop at that point of time so we can enjoy it longer than we could. It was amazing, really. Totally incredible that even until now, I could still feel I just stepped into the hotel and all the surprises you had given me. It was totally fabulous.. out of my world. You’re the BEST and I love you truly, madly, deeply. xoxo.

Now, this fabulous photo shall end my beautiful entry. Tee-hee.
Next up, meeting Christina for belated celebration!
More of a catch-up session!
