F.O.I.L.E.D

thats what happened to my plans for father's day & the husband's bday.

i got him undies & boxers last week. undies for his bday & boxers for father's day. token gifts really as we agreed to get something else later. also, i got him a cake & was treating him to a bday dinner.

anyhow, what i didnt know was my husband is a snoop. ok lah it was my fault. i left the gifts on the bed in the guest room but in my defense, they were wrapped in a jusco plastic bag & stuffed into a fancy paper bag as well --double whammy there right? but he went snooping. the snoop.

so come friday when we were about to leave for dinner, he asked if he could wear one of the newer undies. huh? & so he confessed that he already knew what i got him & blamed me for leaving them out. the temptation was too great he said. hah! hes usually so very blur about these things. & he doesnt go into the guest room much. why oh why did he decide to be adventurous that day?

eventually, it came out that he also knew about the cake that i ordered for him. said he saw the receipt. argggghhhh!!! i was laughing so hard i started crying. & then i punched & slapped him (on the arm of course) for spoiling my surprise. it was foiled. ciss...

sighhhh...

with much dissatisfaction, i plotted on how to surprise him today (his actual bday). guess what i ended up doing? i got up early & ironed him one office shirt & hung it in front of our bed so he didnt have to iron it himself. i know it doesnt seem like much of a surprise but i dont iron his clothes. ever. so this was like the exception lah. anyways he was surprised. so i got what i wanted...

the other spoiled plan was my dinner plans. the shop i wanted to take him to, a rib place in dsara heights, closed shop. how disappointing. so we ended up in victoria station for steak. ughhh!! their meat looked & tasted like it has been in inventory for too long. i was even more disappointed. sighhh...

& yet another spoiled plan: the cake i ordered? well, it didnt turn out the way i wanted to. it tasted nice but not as nice as what i really intended on ordering. how come? well, the cake i really wanted is apparently no longer in production. so, they were doing me a favor by reproducing it just for me. but when i collected it, it looked just like a normal marble cheese cake. so saddd... i guess if i really want the same cake, i have to get it in sabah where we found it in the first place.

despite all the hiccups, the husband & i had a lot of laughs. lucky for us, we found everything funny. i was a little sad that none of my surprises came through. but thats ok. i hate surprises myself.

now...

my bday is coming up next month. i've hinted on what i want. since hes such an unpredictable snoop, i cant leave anything to chance. im gonna paste pictures of what i want, phone numbers & addresses of where to get them & what flavor cake i wish.

hihihihi...

the poor thing.
