Finally, time to sit down in the afternoon at home to do my own stuff, and to slow down my life a little. Aside from HK, I have been busy with yj's birthday party the whole of last week. It's a week more to part 2 though.. Haha! I guess probably after today, I would be busy fretting again!
Yj's birthday
The program
1) A life-sized stand up card-out of herself at the reception area to welcome everyone! This was something we spoke about before, and so I decided to just get it for the 21st.
2a) Singing <<睁一只眼闭一只眼>> using the track with her vocal recording. And KO was to expose that she was not singing live as a distraction to everyone and herself for part b.
2b) Singing <<野蛮游戏>>. Simply because it started off with 老虎老鼠傻傻分不清楚. I had a tiger mascot coming in from the back and it surprised everyone including herself. Why a cute tiger mascot? Yj likes Tigger, and that's the closest thing I could find.
2c) Singing <<你的眼神>>, and oldie. Chose it because she learnt about this song at my workplace and liked it a lot. The surprise here was to 调 her with a $10000 "garland", to put on a tiara and to give her a wand like my workplace style. It was something she wanted to try out too. Coincidentally, her dressing was not elaborate, and with these 3 things on her, it did not seem too "over".
3) A charades game whereby she was supposed to just act and everyone guess. Forfeited her with sugarcane juice, something she hated. It was a bottled version.. the mildest of all things she hated.
4) Open mic for anyone to sing any song. Provided that either me or weiquan knows of the song. Together we have super a lot of songs =D
5a) To sing her 主打歌 <<了解>>.. something that has a story behind for us as well. I was on the keys for her and it was a touching rendition. Not the best, but really good enough. =)
5b) As the song ends, the cake comes out. The cake is a 3d sculpted cake of a Pig Angel. Super duper cute which everyone rushed to take a photo off!
5c) Right after blowing out the candles, all the lights go off, and on the wall shows "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" using Christmas lights.
5d) A video of her life from her friends around, and the Voices journey.
Food wise, it was from ISS Catering.. their $8 buffet plus the roast baby lamb!
Yes, I planned everything! With a lot of admin help from Marcus. He really super duper helped me a lot. KO was the main MC and he got my points across, to prevent anything from making me unhappy happening.
I think Marcus deserves a longer post. He came down with me to recee the place, plus missed lecture, plus help deco everything. When there wasn't enough drinks, he went to buy it when I was busy. I admit I was in a flush at the initial stages of the party cuz of personal reasons and he settled everything for me. The best part of all, he insisted on cabbing back home at the end when he was offered a ride by the pig. =) This is a friend. =)))
Quote: A birthday anyone would long for..
I put everything I had into it.. It was smooth, with many surprises one after the other culminating in the video. Was the money and time well spent? To me, very well so. Efforts paid off!
