Mr Yap turns 18

Mr Yap turns 18 today, or so he thinks. *sigh* I guess when someone reaches a certain age, they just go into denial that these numbers are going up.

Anyway, I know deep down inside that Jaden and I would not be able to celebrate Mr Yap's birthday with him but I did not want him to feel as if it was just another day. He has 364 days to feel that way but I do believe that a birthday must be celebrated, at least with a cake to blow out the candles so the birthday person can make a birthday wish.

Cheesy, isn't it but I really do believe in birthday wishes, that is why I always stressed that there must be a birthday cake no matter what, small or big, bite size or not that comes with a candle. =)

I decided to give him a surprise dinner with his work friends, whom he has been hanging quite a bit with for all the drinking, late night prosperity burgers and karaoke sessions. I emailed them early January to asked if they are free during the 19th Jan dinnertime and if they would like to attend the dinner.


Then, after I got all the green lights from the boys, I called the restaurant and made reservations, have them emailed over the drink and food menu. I let the boys pick their own main course while I picked the appetizers and the 'surprise'.

The night before, I finally got to give Mr Yap his birthday present which I have bought since August last year but well, that won't be seeing any light until his 2007 birthday present is used till it tears. I have a penchant to have always wanted to get him something like that. I actually was planning on an LV but then again, when YC was in Paris, he already got Gwen and I two LV bags and Paris boutique only allow one passport one purchase policy. Damnit!

Maybe next time...

Anyway, I know Mr Yap was suspecting something but I am very sure he didn't know what it was. Any idiot that knows me would know that his friends will be there of course, but how its gonna be celebrated, he didn't know.



I sent him up the restaurant while I told him I needed to go pick something up with Jaden first, which is around the corner and we are already late for our reservations... so the Birthday Boy went up the stairs and well, the rest is history..




Well, I did go pick something up with Jaden. We went to pick up the birthday cake and have the restaurant manager come take from me from the car... bet they didn see the cake coming? or maybe they didnt see the babe coming... =) =)



All in all, it was money well spent to see my big baby happy...

Now, that this is done, shit! Its time I start thinking of something new for next year... =) or maybe I will just cook this time round when 2012 comes. *gRin*

All I am hoping for is that he had a wonderful birthday and that he enjoyed the one special day of his. Nobody ought not to celebrate their own birthday!

Happy Birthday Mr Yap!

love,
Mrs Yap

Jealous

wouldn't you be too?

Three O plus One

As usual, hes always busy with work. Yes, my husband is a workaholic. As much as I hate to say that sometimes he is so immersed with work that Jaden and I are left to ourselves but I wouldn't ask him to stop being a workaholic because I am proud of his determination to provide the best for the family.

So yesterday, he turns 31 and we only had cake and Jaden's god-pa came over to sing him the customary Happy Birthday song and cake cutting ceremony.




I ordered from FatBoyBakes again for Hubby's birthday cake. This time, its the boozy spencer where one can really taste the rum in it.. MMmmm...




and before the SimonYap clan turned in for bed, Hubby found his present hidden behind his pillow. Just a small gift from both Jaden and I, knowing that the present will be put into good use... =)

I am glad he likes the gift we gave him.. and then, that was it.. the end of his birthday celebration. I guess the birthday dinner will just have to come sometime after the crazy schedule slows a bit down.. at least for a week, thats all I am asking.. =)

Happy Birthday you..

Quitting ...

Well... Hubby didn't really quit smoking as in going cold turkey but I actually gave him till year end to quit. It was him himself that said by the time his son turns 2, he would quit hence the 28 Sept as his benchmark but well, guess it is now prolonged till 31 Dec 2009.

So now, his promise and how-to-quit smoking tactics would be:-

29th Sept -29th Oct : ONLY three sticks of cigarettes a day

30th Oct - 30th Nov : ONLY two sticks of cigarettes a day

1st Dec - 31st Dec : ONLY one stick of cigarette a day

by 1st Jan 2010, he should be clean off and off the ciggie for good!

if by any chance he breach this promise of his, as in if he takes more than the promised sticks a day for the particular month, I get RM50 for a stick he puts in the mouth, doesn't matter if he buys a new pack from outside or given by friends or puffs by friends. The additional puffs will just costs him money and into my Emily-For-Fun FUND... =)

So who wants to place a bet now that he will be clean off cigarettes by 1st Jan 2010?

I am trusting him so well, we shall see when Jan comes...

Toys'R'Us @ 8am

That was how early the SimonYap clan were at One Utama Old Wing today, waiting for the guards to open the shutter at 830am so the Bald One can go and get his Transformers 2 Movie batch.

Jaden and I were happily sitting in McD's eating Big Breakfast to our hearts' content. Mmm.. Then we strolled all the way to Toys'R'Us to see Hubby carrying the big ass bag and in it, a few toys that came up to hundreds of Ringgit.. in return, Jaden got a toy aeroplane and a bubble maker to make up the amount so Hubby can get RM150 worth of vouchers, 3 guide booklets to the characters in Transformers 2 Movie, 3 posters and 3 car stickers and 3 Tropicana juice. I am sure he would be either selling the booklets or posters or car stickers in a package cheap to others who are avid Transformers collectors.. or *shrugs* coffee mats maybe? =) Trust me when I say there are a lot of mad mad toy collectors out there!

Reached home at about 10am, fed Jaden his milk and the whole SimonYap clan retired to bed AGAIN.. and both Jaden and I slept till 130am.. Hubby of course a little later. Tired out from the searching and carrying the toys earlier on in the morning!

Hubby actually hauled EIGHT freaking robot machine figures back home.. considered a victory because he got to buy Sideswipe.. don't know what I am talking about leh?? Nah.. show u!

Nice leh? I also like.. hehehhe well, as long as the Bald one is happy with what he got today.. Jaden and I will be happy with his buy...

BUT there goes all our energy saved for the weekend. *sigh* Lets see what tomorrow brings..

Masterpiece series 2009 -Grimlock

This was what I was talking about last night. About me being ditched for this piece of plastic/metal dinosaur...

His collection of Dinobots... the Biggest there is the Latest addition to the family of dinosaurs

Me no likey Grimlock! BAHHH!!!

Ma-in-law-in-town

Just came back from dinner with Aunt Lin and her side of her family and also Ma-in-law who came down from Melaka today.

Jaden put up a fuss again when we were about to leave just because he wanted to stay and play. The tantrum is horrendous! Am really planning to whoop him next time he does it again. It is really scary to want to think to take him out when the end consequences would be him clinging on to the door or anything he could to avoid going home. Is home that boring? BUT when he reaches home, he goes about doing his thing and is happy.. *sigh* Guess he knows the difference now that going out of the house means play time and fun and new things, while going home means just him and daddy mommy. No new faces to entertain him. He even cries at the door when his kai-yeh goes back. He actually wants to follow Iz out of the house.. *shakes head*

Hubby got his long-awaited for Grimlock Masterpiece series and like an excited child, he can't seem to stop caressing that plastic/metal dinosaur. It seemed everyone else on the same page as Hubby too was as excited as he is. Just how excited he is over Grimlock? Till he refuses to put it down and help me put the ceiling back properly in the bathroom and angrily asked me to leave him alone... that is how excited and engrossed he is in that new toy! BAH!

I hear the two rabbits biting the cage now. Should be asking to be let out now.. so toodles.. its rabbit-sitting hour now... =) and putting the boy to bed... Nitey nite peeps!
