10.10.10

Happy 26th birthday to my one and only, Rui. If only you were ten, it will then be a once in a lifetime celebration.

We also wanted to get married on 10.10.10 because it symbolises binary digits, which is very 'us', since both are software programmers. My colleagues kept saying that it wasn't fair as it is also Rui's birthday, so he will never forget our anniversary -_-'' ... but that was so 'last year,' we're still as happy, and if he ever forgets our anniversary, I'm going to tear him into pieces. Just kidding!

We had this weekend all to ourselves, lazing around, doing nothing but watched tv and enjoyed each other's company. I woke up pretty early on Saturday morning as I was awaiting for the cupcakes to be delivered to the house. Opened the front door and made Rui suspicious because we never usually do that... so this smarty pants asked, 'are you waiting for something to be delivered? For me???' ... I'm not good at keeping surprises so I blurted it out. *Mission failed*

He pretended NOT to know about it.

Specially ordered peanut butter flavoured cupcakes for the birthday boy
from Luscious Cupcakes

Bought him quite a lot of gifts this year! Birthday cupcakes, a t-shirt, his long awaited breadmaker, a personalised music cd... but I haven't gotten him a lawn mower.

Not forgetting this huge coffee plunger.

Cooked Laksa for lunch and we're still full to the brim

The day is not over yet, it's time for me to cook dinner. Life is so beautiful when you are with your loved ones, in today's case, my other half. We're already as happy as any other day, hence, birthdays do not seem big anymore. Lots of love from you-know-who ;) I'm going to grow old with you.

Happy 26th

Went to work on Thursday (9/9/2010) and the first thing Michelle said wasn't "Good morning", it was "here you go, happy birthday!"...

This is very sweet :)

10/9/2010 Friday, took a flex day off. Had breakfast with mummy and Rui at Garden City shopping center at 6.30am because Rui had to go to work. Chatted with mummy over tea until 9.30am... that was when the shops started to open. Shopped the whole day and bought decorations for the house. It is ALWAYS fun shopping with your own mother! :) Oh yes, and it was Hari Raya. No lemang or whatsoever but it was a happy day.

911 Saturday, woke up at 6.45am because Rui couldn't sleep anymore -_-'' He went out of the room and I checked FB in bed. Saw Jake and Riley's raya pics which my sister-in-law tagged me in! A great start for a wonderful day.

Jake & Riley

These pictures melt my heart
The boys are so adorable, I can't believe Riley is walking now :P

Left the room feeling a bit hungry, looked for Rui but nobody in sight, mummy was still in her room as it was still early (again... 6.47am-ish)! Went to the kitchen and was stunned to see SOMETHING on the kitchen counter...

WOWZER!!!
*Jumped with joy for 5 whole minutes around the house*
... but could not scream to express my happiness!!!
Still, Rui was no where in sight!!!

Suddenly saw him walking out of the other toilet... the first thing he asked was "why are you up so early?! Are you happy?? Happy birthday!!! I think I heard you jump, could you reenact the scene again? :D"

I felt so complete.

I thought I had received my birthday present on Friday -- he gave me permission to spend $100 on clothes and a lottery ticket. THAT was gold because he doesn't let me buy unnecessary stuff, saying that I have way too many clothes... erm, hello?! It's never enough. So I bought a jumpsuit from Bardot and a lottery ticket for exactly one hundred dollars. *乖*

Received a text message from Tim, my colleague. So nice of him to remember my birthday every year! He printed out the birthday message and put it on my desk last year ;)

My two most important chefs were preparing the ingredients for the currypuffs and springrolls. The birthday girl helped out with the dough kneading and etcetera too :P

All home made ;) It's always good to have mummy around

Received a call from my brother and Jake was on the line...
Koko, "Jake, come here and say happy birthday to Mai Jas, or else you wouldn't get the Lego set"
Jake, "Hello, Mai Jas, happy birthday!"
Koko, "Ask Mai Jas what did she get for her birthday?"
Jake - *repeats his dad's question* and added "got Lego?"
Me, "no Lego, Jake. I got an iPad!"
Koko *in the background*, "huh!!!"
Jake *followed accordingly to his dad's tone*, "huh!!!"
He then paused for a few seconds and continued asking me "got Lego?" ... SO CUTE!!!

Just in time for high tea. It was a birthday party cum house warming celebration.

Jacqueline, her hubby and her brother-in-law gave us a pineapple (which means ong lai), a gold pumpkin (kam guai?) and lots of corns... very auspicious! :) Charlene and Benson gave us a coffee machine, a toaster and a bath and shower gel for me :)

HERE COMES THE CAKE!

My all time favourite - Three Monkeys' Cookies'n'Cream cake
Specially booked by Rui + Charlene + Benson
Not cheap too - $75 :(
Mummy's Brunetti's fruit tart didn't even cost THIS much and it was heavenly good!

We proceeded to dinner at a nearby (not so near) restaurant in Sunnybank Hills, my treat!

Birthdays are meant to be spent with loved ones. I haven't celebrated mine with mummy for more than 7 years, so this year was memorable because she was here with me. I miss daddy a lot, wished he was here too, but life goes on. Love everything that Rui and mummy did.

Chuang's coming to Brisbane in exactly one week's time!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!

All In One

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RILEY!

Jake and Riley with Uncle Rui
You are ONE today!!!
♥ It feels as if you were born yesterday ♥
Mai Jas and Uncle Rui will always love you :)

We spent half of today visiting display homes in Parkwood(Heathwood), about 33km from the city. The houses are to die for. A few pictures of the last house we saw.
