Then he ran back and asked me if it was the 9th. And it hit me! Not immediate, but maybe a few nano seconds later. It was my hub's birthday and I forgot about it totally! Even the night before when we were watching a movie way past 12. Jeez... what a wife I am!
So I quickly grabbed my phone and sms-ed him. Also asked if he wanted to eat out or in that night. No replies from him. Guess he was too busy after being away for 2 days from the office.
As lunch approached, I hadn't yet thought about what to cook, being lazy still, so I called him and asked if he liked us to join him for lunch. He said ok. I wanted to see his new workplace too for they have just shifted to another place.
So the whole office didn't know it was his birthday, it seemed, and 2 of them joined us for lunch, treat on him. Went to Papah Rich and stuffed ourselves full.
Came back home and started work on the big pile of laundry and cleaning up the house. It took all my effort.. puff! puff!
When he came home from work, we had dinner and went out to get a cake. He said "no heart" from me! I defended saying I wanted to, but it was raining! Fortunately, he's not very sentimental in stuffs like these.
So that was our little family celebration for his first turning 40s birthday. I should have recorded how we sang the bday song. All 4 of us were singing together but all different versions one. It sounded so messy but fun! He rolled his eyes too wondering what kind of song that was!
His mommy, as almost every year, wanted to be part of his birthday celebrations and came over to KL over the weekend for that. For her, it wasn't his birthday until the "eat dumpling" festival day, as she only refers to the chinese calendar.
It was a big feast for us, 6 adults and 3 kids for an 8 course meal for 10. The highlight was the abalones.
Yumz!
Cupcakes with pink, yellow and blue sai on top for him. Else he would be jeles why I went all the way out making these sai-looking cupcakes for another friend while he has nothing from me. I am getting in love playing with these icing, but need a lot of practise, certainly. Or I should just make a brownish colored icing to make it looked more like sai! Yes, that would be yummy!

dawn,
you have no idea! my mil earlier asked me, while she was on the way to kl, if I would be buying any cakes. I told her I made some cuppies. I guess she was rather horrified to see those sai with the you-called-this-bday-cake? disapproval look.
thanks for the wishes! Yay, we still haven't hit the 4s yet! (at least for the rest of the year)
Your husband is lucky to have you because you made the cupcakes yourself. It is easy to just buy an expensive cake but not easy to bake anything at all. I know that cos I never bake.
mun,
aww.. so nice of you..
(seriously, i baked because i wanted to play with the sai icing only, actually.. hehe)
