Sherlyn's Lifestyle Journal: Eong Chen's 26th Birthday Celebration

Prior to his birthday, I started to google cupcakes website and contacts online to order and customize a cupcakes as a birthday cake for him as it is quite special and nice. Finally, found this website, http://www.emmagem.com/2008/04/08/malaysias-online-cupcake-store-directory/ that contains a directory listing of all cupcakes in Malaysia. There are 2 websites listed under Penang region and another one which I got the website from my friend.

I love cupcakes (http://i-love-cupcakes.com/)
Cupcakes4you (http://cupcakes4you.blogspot.com/)
http://www.love-a-cupcake.blogspot.com/ (Collection at Manila Place, Gurney Plaza)

After doing some survey and self assesment, contacted Cupcakes4you to check the availability regarding order and design. Got a fast reply from Joosing and Poh Yit and they suggested a few ideas to me. Finally, decided to order from them and selected the 49 mini cupcakes type. As the design is unique and based on their creativity, I won't be able to know how it will actually look like. But based on all their previous design, I'm happy with their design and let them to put their thinking cap on the design. ^_^

So, today (4th October 2008), with a map in hand, I started to drive to the collection address in Barrack Road. The map is easy to understand and the location is easy to find.

Happily driving to collect the cupcakes. ^_^

When I arrive at the house, as I'm alone, Joosing suggested that I put the cupcakes under the car seat and ask me to drive carefully as the cupcakes are quite fragile... Well, it's better to bring along a friend to help you carry the cupcakes as even though I'm quite careful and drive quite slow, one of the cupcake do fell on another cupcake.

Notice that the "IR" word is a bit "cacat" and the white schnauzer ear got some purple cream on it.

I'm very happy with the design as the 4 schnauzer are very very cute. These 4 schnauzhers are my bf's pets (although Xiao Bai already RIP). And Cupcakes4you also post up the photos as well. Check it out at http://cupcakes4you.blogspot.com/2008/10/pictures4you.html.

First stop, drive to his office to give him a surprise.

After that, we went back his house to show his mum the cupcakes and capture some photos.

Next: Lucky draw session

This year, I'm giving him to actually pick up lucky draw item for his birthday. I pre-decided some of the birthday gifts ideas and put each and everyone into a single envelope.

The lists are:

Sunglass
Batman Lego Car Model
Seiko Limited Edition Watch
32" LCD TV
Angpow RM10
Angpow RM500
Angpow RM1000
A complete dressover

Well, I actually bought him a sunglass (which he likes) and also decided to give him a gift which he selected from the lucky draw. Rules of the game is simple. He will pick an envelope without knowing what's inside. I will open up the envelope, look at the gift, and then counter offer him cash money in return to buy his envelope. I will also allow him to select whether does he want to get the prize inside the envelope, or to change to another envelope.

For the first round, he picked up an envelope which contains a Watch. After some round of negotiating for the envelope, he decided to change to another envelope. This time, he picked up the grand prize of 32" LCD TV. I guess he knows it already as he say he wanted what's inside the envelope. So, finally he WON this 32" LCD TV as his birthday gift!!! Nevertheless, I still give him the sunglass as an additional birthday gift as the TV will only be shipped to him when his new house is ready. ^_^

See how happy he looks with his sunglass and holding the lucky draw item.
After the prize giving thingy, we went to Queensbay Mall to have lunch. He says he prefer to eat Chinese food, so we head over to Wongkok Restaurant. We ordered Hokkien Fried Rice, BBQ Pork Chop Noodle, Butter Bun, Crispy Egg Tart, Longan Winter Melon and Ice Ying Yong Tea.

Finish our lunch and walk around QB, then we drove to SP Setia to see their Show Village. They have many types show room design and type. Among some of the design displayed:
