Today is a very special day. For someone else. ♥
I dragged myself out of bed this morning as usual, and then sleepily went downstairs to grab a new tube of toothpaste before drenching my face in cold water to try and force the sluggishness out of me.
I greeted my dad and grandma who were already awake. Aunt Ivy is still sleeping though.
On the other hand, my day today aren't too good, because I kept having diarrhea. (=_=)
Thank goodness my stomach started to feel better and less toilet runs at around in the late afternoon, after I have taken the medications. Must've been something I ate yesterday night...
So after all my chores had been done, I trotted upstairs to my room and begin switching on the computer.
I checked for emails, surfed Facebook, edited my blog's music playlist, did a bit of this and that.
However the music playlist thing took me quite a while to get it done, because I gotta keep googling for the perfect website followed by the learning of the how-to's. (>.<)
But at last, my desired music playlist is finally finished and ready to use. All that time and effort was worth it.
Later, I skipped going out for dinner whereas dad, grandma, aunt Ivy and uncle Eric went instead.
I wanted to stay back and prepare an personal handmade card for my uncle Eric's 56th birthday today. ^^
In fact, I am like the only one in my family who remembered the event.
I called my dad while he was out eating to remind him of this, and asked him if he could possibly buy some sort of cake for uncle Eric.
Dad sounded surprised, for he had forgotten uncle Eric's birthday was today. HAHAHA.
So that settled, I quickly went to clean up my desk after creating the card, and took a bath.
Soon, they are back home. Aunt Ivy carried the cake into the house and I helped to stash it in the refrigerator first, because uncle Eric wanted to go home to do his things for a little while.
Then my dad wasted no time in giving his younger sister (aunt Ederlyn) and her family a phone call to remind them of this occasion and invited them to come and celebrate together too.
My dad's cousin (Ah Heong Piu-Yi) and her husband arrived as well.
Soon, when almost everybody is present, I walked over to uncle Eric's home and rang his doorbell. (note: uncle Eric and I lived in the same vicinity)
Either uncle Eric already knew what's happening but was pretending not to be surprised, or he doesn't know yet but didn't care much. xD
I also asked Aunt Christina (uncle Eric's wife) if she would like to join us as well, but she replied she's too tired and would like to have an early rest. So I greeted aunt Christ goodbye and goodnight, before returning to my house.
When uncle Eric saw the crowd gathered around, he happily greeted them all and sat down to mingle with them.
Meanwhile, I took the birthday cake out of the refrigerator and begin the preparations. I stuck 5 big candles and 6 small candles on top of the cake, and proceeded to light them up.
Then I asked my cousin Yani to help shut off the lights so the entire front porch is in total darkness. I than walked as fast as my legs could carry me, to bring the cake to wherever uncle Eric is sitting outside.
Unfortunately, I walked a little TOO fast hence created a breeze which caused some of the candles' flames to die on the way there. LOLs.
Nonetheless my dad helped to re-light the candles again, once the lights had been switched back on. I quickly grabbed my camera to capture moments of the small celebration.
I can tell my uncle Eric, although he doesn't look at all surprised about this, he must be smiling away pleasantly in his heart. xD
Here's a photo of uncle Eric holding the card that I've made for him. =P
