Happy Birthday Father Tan!

Hey peeps! We just celebrated my Daddy's birthday!! He is as old aged as Malaysia is... He's a Merdeka baby! XD

It was nothing fancy mancy, just dinner at home with some good family laughter!

I went out to get the cake -- it was a Blackforest cake with fresh cream from Four Leaves bakery in Sogo, LG Floor. My late Mummy always buys this same cake from the very same bakery when i was growing up -- my birthday, Mother's or Father's Day, anniversaries, and the like. So i definitely want to continue the family tradition. =D

Mich was supposed to make some suppose to make some sorta Manggo Pie, but tak sempat. Guess that will have to wait. =P

Initially, Mich and i came up with a 'Surprise Daddy Mission' for his birthday. So we hid the cake and went about dinner as if nothing special was going to happen. So Daddy got back, and we had dinner. I think he was also wondering what were his two kids up to... XD

After dinner, we automatically went on and did our own things; Daddy read papers, i went to my pc, and Mich played the piano. Until. Daddy went to brush his teeth to get ready for bed.

We (but mostly me) so hurry the barry jumped into the kitchen, taking out the cake from the freezer, fixing and lighting the candle and getting ready to sing out loud 'Happy Birthday' -- all while holding back our urge to LOL!! I seriously can't recall what was so farnee, but all i remember was we giggled and tahan, giggled and tahan, then giggle became a laugh, and eventually beh tahan oredy, so ngam Daddy come out to the hall, we jumped out of the kitchen, bursting in laughter!! OMG... XD

(it was supposed to be jumping out and singing 'Happy Birthday'... haha!)

That instant, when we saw Daddy's jaw-clink-clang-waa-what-is-all-this look, we LAGI burst out in laughter!! My sister biasa la, laugh until her whole body can bounce up and down wan.. XD And i nearly dropped the candle lit cake!! LOL

Of late, my sister have developed an urging need to take alot alot alot of photos, which would loosely translate to cam-ho-ing, in blogging terms. She just loves to take photo, take photo, take photo -- with my not-so-able Nokia 6120, and then will say, "Aiyo! Not nice wan.. AGAIN!" XD

I shall illustrate:

Okay... okay... Customary birthday picture as below:
