Stickman organised a surprise 65th birthday party for his old man yesterday. According to his grand plan, all relatives will be waiting and when the birthday boy arrives with my mil, we'll all hide in our bedroom and jump out on cue.

It resembles the grand plan of my 21st birthday party. Grouchy and shabbily dressed, I was dragged to the party venue where friends from all walks of life jumped on me. I've not recovered from that horrible incident. I like the effort, but not surprise parties :P

Anyway, brother-in-law and I didn't want to participate, and so the grand plan was modified to just keeping the shoes away and when birthday boy enters, Stickman will present him with the Angie's Choice mango cake and everyone will burst into a birthday song. It went quite well, despite the initial delay. The candles wouldn't stay lit, and when they did, sis-in-law blew out her match stick too hard, effectively blowing out all the lit candles. They had to be re-lit. Meanwhile, a frantic birthday boy was hammering at the door, wondering if something had happend to his only son and his daughter in law (whose value is higher now because she's carrying a grandson).

So everything went like clockwork. The mini-buffet was o-k-a-y. Two mahjong tables were set up for the adults after the food, and teenage relatives gathered to play neopet on the laptop. One tried to study amidst the noise. Toddlers went from my guitar to the keyboard to their toys and finally settled to watch The Ant Bully.

Hmmhmm... and I'm inundated with books about breastfeeding and child care. I've finished the one from the Breastfeeding Society of Singapore and am an expert on Breastfeeding for today. My outlook on my postpartum period is not so rosy now and I don't think I'll go back to work immediately. After all, you get to 'enjoy' this period only once or twice (if somebody can make me go through 9 months of uncertainty again).
