On Des's 'Birthday' day

What happened was I prepared some party packs and muffins for Des's little classmates a day before Des's birthday. I sort of 'stole' the idea of the party packs from Angie and Magictree. I passed the packs to Des's class teacher and requested her distribute to the kids during snack time.

When Des came back from school, she told me she was very happy. I asked her why. She told me Teacher Linda made her stand in front of the class and made her classmates sang the birthday song to her and she was grinning all the way.

Pappy and I didn't order any cakes but I baked some muffins for Des instead. She fell in love with muffins after taking Laundryamah's muffin at a previous gathering and always asking me to buy muffins for her, so, I decided to try my hands on baking some chocolate muffins for her and (hohoho) they were simply delicious.

Des's presents

I was not in the least surprised dat her favourite's the musical box with the 'pearls' handle from her sister Elyss and the Kipper VCD from her 'kai mah'.

See for urself what I meant.

When she got up from bed, she carried the musical box with her to her potty while she was still 'pun mung pun sang' (half asleep, half awake) *roll eyes*.

We actually invited Destinee's 2 bestest frens (Suet-Suet and Charlett) & family and her 'kai mah' (godmother) Elaine to dinner at a fren's restaurant. Didn't take any pics of the food cos nothing special about the dishes. Most importantly was I made sure I didn't forget to order sharksfin soup as dat happens to be Des's (and MY) favourite but the soup was a disappointment, it was more like starch soup. The rice was a little bit close to thick porridge, the steamed Patin fish was not very cooked, the buttered (dry) prawns were tasteless, the buttered (wet) crabs (flesh) were 'lum pat pat' (not very fresh), the fried veggie was too little and a bit salty. Alamak, sounded like nothing was nice to eat. Oh yes, there was something which was tasty and sweet ..... the dessert ..... a plate of papaya (heehee). No choice, it was Pappy who suggested to patronise his fren's restaurant to show a little of his support for his fren ... haiya ...
