Anthony's girlfriend, Salynn whom I met before as she came over to see Anthony...She told me to organise a surprise party for Anthony. I did not mind at all because I like making people happy..and thought he would be happy that his friends can celebrate with him since he is so far away from home...I also wanted to give Gek Teng a farewell party..so it was a "kill 2 birds with 1 stone" affair. Haha.Hmm...actually more than 2 birds cos we ended up celebrating all the Oct babies birthday so as not to put Anthony on the spot and to create some sort of fairness to the rest as well.
I prepared Dumpling soup and Char Siew. There were other food like curry chicken, chicken rice, pork cutlets, bee hoon, assam fish, xiao bai cai with oyster sauce to go with chicken rice, fruits, birthday cake. There were lots of chicken and pork cos Chen Twok does not eat beef. Anyway, we all had a great time..the food was great. Highlight was the chicken rice!! very fragrant...prima brand. CT kept asking me to buy but I said it is for 6-8 people portions..how to cook.
Anyway, after dinner, we brought out the cake and surprise Anthony. Salynn told me that she does a surprise party for him almost every year. I wonder how she pulled it off.
After dinner, we brought out the cake and sang the usual song and blow, cut cake etc..
There were 4 Oct Babies altogether..so we all celebrated together with them.
We placed 4 candles in the cake and each other must blow one candle at a time. So, each took turns to blow. It was successful...all blew accurately.
