Is popularity THAT important nowadays? Don't give me hypothetically answer or even politically correct answer. Give me an answer that you suits you best.

If people don't like your picture, would you go berserk? I won't. Because to me, it doesn't matter who follows you or who don't. I don't live for these peeps, you see. 

What say you guys?

Hubs Special birthday Surprise!

Yes!! I planned a surprise for hubs, and I totally totally nailed it!! 3 weeks prior to his birthday, I rounded all his friends up, booked them in advance and we spent time deciding where to go. Because some were undecided between Holland V and Bliss at Cheng San Cc, we decided to hold it at Bliss. It's a good decision though, because then hubs won't suspect a thing. If I were to drag him all the way to holland v, he might suspect something's not right.

2 weeks prior to the event, I contacted The White Ombré (it's this sweet cake shop situated at Toa Payoh) for them to make a chocolate rainbow cake! I was kinda excited as I heard reviews of The White Ombré, so why not? Got an 8" cake! (Pics will be up later)

How are we gonna pull the surprise off? Technically, I told hubs that it's supposed to be a "romantic dinner for 2", so clear instructions was simply "just the 2 of us"

I was there earlier with his friends and when he saw me with them, this was the face he gave:



He was still looking at all his friends and wondering why they are all here. :) Will never ever forget the look on his face.

So I had the sirloin steak whereas he has the chicken with egg (chicken chop with egg):


I had it done medium, which was ok. I mean, for a heartland cafe, I don't expect them to cook like Lawry's. But at least I felt it palatable.

Hubs definitely enjoyed his chicken on egg:


Should have ordered this. Hahaha!!!

What I loved most about bliss cafe is they are spontaneous in hiring people with disabilities, giving them a chance to go back into the working force. I've never seen a cafe doing that yet. I'm not saying that there are no cafés, I'm implying Bliss is the first cafe I know. So kudos to them! 

What makes the day so lovely was the manager of Bliss Cafe, Christine, went down all the way to The White ombré to collect my cake for me! TELL ME, WHICH HUMAN IN SINGAPORE WILL DO THAT! Mind you, relatives don't count. I have no idea how Christine looks like as I wanted to thank her in person so badly, but she left and I couldn't give her a hug!

I did tell her that I'll be giving a shout out to her in my blog and if you're reading this - My deepest heartfelt thanks for going that extra mile for me! I told my hubs what you've done and he went "Woah!!" He was already touched that all his friends came down, not to mention the manager of a cafe collecting your birthday cake. :)

This is the cake by the White ombré:



Verdict on the cake? A little tad sweet. I should have asked for buttercream among the layers instead of chocolate! 

But yes, at least my hubs is a happy boy now!! Hahahaha!! Who says a small woman like me can't pull a birthday bash off? Tsk tsk!

Happy birthday Mr. Yap! We always annoy each other, but let's face it - at the end of the day, we are still sticking to each other. We are just egoistic enough not to pronounce it. I know, because of what you said. :)

Many thanks to all his friends who made it and especially to Christine! My god, thanks for doing that extra mile. I'm graceful! :))
