On Saturday, Dennis was playing for church so I insisted he came over for dinner after. Since I was working that weekend, I didn't have much time to plan so I had to cook whatever little bit of food I had left at home (which was a tiny bit of salmon, and some pasta without sauce. I didn't even have vegetables to cook so we had cucumber).
Anyway, from the office, I braved myself to drive to SS2 and bought two slices of cake from Secret Recipe. Traffic was quite bad since it was close to dinner time, but thankfully, I managed to get a parking spot right in front of the shop, and got the cake without any problems. *phew* Not bad considering it was my first time going there alone.
Anyway, it was all going well until I suddenly got a message from Den asking whether his best friend could come over for dinner, and that got me quite worried! I didn't have enough food, remember? So, I told him. But feeling bad, I decided to message that friend instead and double checked if he wanted to come. I was waiting for the reply in front of Secret Recipe and trying hard to figure out what I could get to add to dinner, since time was running short and I hadn't even arrived home to start cooking! Well good for me, his friend said he'd pass.
So i went home, quickly rushed to cook dinner, went downstairs to the sundry shop to look for broccoli which i didn't manage to get, and because of all the running up and down, I didn't finish cooking dinner before Den's arrival. But that was ok because he didn't suspect anything sinceit was quite normal. :)
As we were having dinner, Dennis said he wanted to go grocery shopping. I was thinking "why does this guy have so many ideas today? of all days?" The cakes were in the fridge, and I planned to surprise him later but since he seemed in a hurry to go grocery shopping, I had to fast forward my plans. Good for me, he went to my computer and started looking at my phone bill on the table, so that was distraction. I jumped onto that opportunity, ran to the kitchen and started lighting the candles. Then my housemate and I turned off the lights, and brought the cake in!
I guess the good thing was that he didn't suspect anything, so *yay!* success on that part.
Here are a few photos to share the moment:
Surprise Surprise!
Birthday present! :)Then, there was another dinner the day after with the rest of his family and close friends. We had another Secret Recipe cake (actually, it was a brownie) and Organic food which was very interesting. The rojak came served in fusion style: vegetables and fruits together, with some seaweed on top and black sesame seeds sprinkled all over. My food was good, though. I had pasta! Yum!
So that concludes the big birthday for big Den! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR!! *hugs*
