Actually last week we planned to have a surprise birthday cum farewell party for Shirley’s boyfriend Sendrew. So this post is all about the party we organized.
Planning for a Party
It was not really a well-planned party, we were kind of rushing. We planned a 3 course meal – appetizer, main dish and dessert.
The appetizer was rolled up carrot and cucumber in ham. Main dish was really a tough one to decide, we were changing so many times but in the end we stick to pasta with grilled vegetables, fried chicken and mashed potato. The dessert was chocolate cake with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate syrup.
All menus decided, we had some price surveying to do. So on Tuesday after class we went to Tesco to do our price surveying. It took us quite some time, but it all turned out well.
Oh forgot, Jessica and myself planned something else without Shirley’s knowledge for her and Sendrew, so we also prepared for that surprise.
On Thursday we begged our lecturer not to have class on Friday, it was only her class so what was the point of going MSU just for one class. So after that we went to Tesco to do our shopping. We finished it fast, unbelievable right? Shows how efficient housewives we are going to be. Hahahahahahahaha…
After our shopping, we were damn hungry, so we went hunting for restaurant. Since I requested we go Chinese restaurant, we rounded the same place like three times before finding a restaurant to our liking. Then I ordered Hokkien Mee expecting I will get what I usually get in Penang, but Hokkien Mee KL turned out to be Hokkien Char in Penang. Hahahahaha…However it was tasty and different but the portion was too big, I couldn't finish it.
All done, we went back to Shirley’s house; we cleaned the house and started decorating the house with balloons. Then Jessica did nail art for me. First time doing French Nails. Thanks Jess!!!
Then it was bedtime!!! Hahahahaha... =)
Before Party
This is about what we did on Friday….
So early morning, well not so early, I woke up around 9am something (btw Jess and me stayed over in Shirley’s place), then got ready to go MCD for breakfast. While having breakfast we also collected fork and knife for the party. Hahahaha see how economist we are!!!
Then Jess and me left Shirley in Giant and went to Tesco to get the stuff we planned for her n Sendrew. After that we went back to Giant and did our shopping. We also went to King’s and bought a cake before we head back home.
At home we finalized the decoration, then arranged the tables and cleaned the house. It was cooking time then!!!
So we started by doing the appetizers first, it turned out to be tasty. Then we prepared for the pasta and mashed potato. It took us till 4.30pm to finish all the preparing.
We still had some things to do, for the idea we had for Shirley and Sendrew, so after Shirley went to meet Sendrew, Jess and me went to Tesco and bought the stuffs we need and we also went to KFC to get the fried chicken, and we got stuck in the jam…
We went back around 7pm, prepared for the surprise. Then we got ready and started to prepare the food for the party.
The SL’s Party
Party time!!!
The house was dark, we were all ready with the party poppers and all. The moment Sendrew walked into the door, we screamed SURPRISE!!! And the party poppers we popped. Hahahahaha…
Then we served the food to all the guests, I think they enjoyed the food we cooked. WOW not bad, we are becoming excellent chefs!!! Hahahahahaha….
Then we gave 10 minutes private session for Shirley and Sendrew, so that we can prepare for the surprise we planned earlier. Hahahahaha… no please don’t ask me what happened those 10 minutes between them. Hahahahahahahahaha…
Then when the 10 minutes were over, we asked both of them to dance and then we asked Sendrew to propose to Shirley with a bouquet of roses (this was our surprise, we bought the bouquet for both of them). The bouquet consists of white, pink and purple roses, which have its own meanings.
Jess and Shirley did a slide show for Sendrew, we watched that, and at the end of the show, we sang Happy Birthday song and Sendrew cut the cake (American Chocolate Cake). It was dessert time then. We served the cake with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate syrup.
Game time!!! As usual we played Truth or Dare. It was really funny. We had so many horny dares, ideas were courtesy of Jessica! Hahahahaha…and Jess actually danced Bubble Pop in front of all.
Last dance, we asked Sendrew to dance for Otha Sollala from Aadukalam. Hehehehehe… well he can really dance well. I will upload the video in Facebook soon, so you guys can watch it, hehehehehehehe…
So that was the end of the party. Overall I would say it was a great success. Although we were rushing, I am glad it turned out super and I am extra super glad that the food turned out well too. Now we know how to properly plan for a party. Hehehehehe….And of course it is all about teamwork! And I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the party! Thanks for making it a success…. =)
After Party
The house was in a total mess!!!
Instead of giving horny dares, we should have given them dares like ‘clean the kitchen’, ‘wash the dishes’ or ‘sweep the house’. Hahahahahahaha…
Never mind now I know how to manage the cleaning up when we organize a party next time.
So this is where teamwork comes in again. I popped all the balloons with a toothpick. Jess, Mohana (Shirley’s friend) and I cleaned the living room. Shirley cleared the dishes with Sendrew’s help.
Next time, we are not buying party poppers again!!! We finished the cleaning after 45 minutes.
Then it was time for Sendrew to leave, Shirley sent him off. We all prepared to sleep, chat a bit and then slept…
It was one awesome weekend that’s going to stay in my mind and heart forever. The first party we organized together, I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. <3 <3 <3
