meow's birthday

Yesterday we celebrated Meow's birthday. it was supposed to be a surprise, but a few things happened and it was hilarious.

1) my colleague called to wish him happy birthday at 4pm (surprise party starts 7). i took the phone and told him "too early! too early!" so he changed his topic to "just want to tell you that I'm flying to shanghai tonight." So meow was left wondering why my colleague called to tell him that.

2) badminton kaki dropped by around 4 + to give him 2 bottles of wine cos they can't make night. trying hard not to spoil the party, they told meow they were in the area and found his car familiar so decided to ring doorbell, and hey! surprise! and they happned to have 2 bottles of wine in car.

he was happy, but i felt bad cos we couldn't cater to all 40 guests... should have given each of them more attention. well, next time no more than 10 at a time.

We bought some koi in the morning. i choose the $30 ones and meow chose the $200 ones. i think mine are cuter anyways.. i chose a blue, a yellow and a white one. One of the guests (sam's primary school friend) bought us 4 more so now we have 13.

Chrissi was so cute. she sat by the pond and looked at the fishes for a long long time. Maybe tomorrow she'll learn how to use my laundry bag.
