Operation Mum's Birthday Surprise
Mum was too busy working in the resident's committee to celebrate her birthday with her two sons at night. On the pretext of helping the committe install a spam control software, I got her good friend who was also in the resident's committee and planned a surprise birthday party for her.
10 am: Messaged her good friend to plan the birthday surprise. Friend called the whole zoo of friends down to the RC.
10:30 am: She replied asking for time to meet.
1pm: Bought a banana chocolate cake from Secret Recipe.
3pm: Mum called, asking me if I will be back for dinner. Told her that I will be out drinking with friends.
7pm: Collected the banana chocolate cake.
9.00pm: The rest of the RC members was at the resident committee's corner.
9.40pm: Snuck into the committee whilst the rest distracted mum.
10pm: Lit birthday cake, RC friends got mum to go into the 'karaoke room' in the RC corner.
10:05pm: Surprise! Happy Birthday mum!
10:15pm: Makan time! Her friends cooked some noodles, and bought spring rolls and BBQ chicken wings. They managed to dig out a cheap bottle of wine to celebrate the occasion too.
Well seeing her delighted and happy expression was worth the effort planning and lugging the 2.4 kg cake home. Especially since no one knew that her birthday was today. And as far as I can remember, no one gave her a surprise birthday party before.
Wished I could have thrown a grander surprise party, or afford to get her the diamond pendant/ring that she wanted. Sighs ... when you are poor as a church mouse, gotta make do with what you have.
