sweet like honey!: his 33rd surprised birthday Iftar at Vivo Pizza!

Alhamdulillah my hubster has turned 33 yrs young. Since we've been an item 7 years ago, every time his birthday is around the corner, I will get excited to plan for something. Actually, I love to surprise my loved ones including my mom, dad, siblings, in laws and friends. I will try my best to surprise them on their birthday. Why do we need to surprise our loved ones during their birthday? Simply because to see the widest smile on their face. It's good to make them feel special on this meaningful day.

The most happening birthday surprise that I have set and I am sure my hubby would remember it till forever was his surprised birthday in 2009. I was only his fiancee at that time and he has just underwent an appendix operation, so we couldn't celebrate his birthday outside. So, I threw the birthday celebration at his parents' house, of course I have collaborated with my trusted in laws at that time. And the biggest surprise was, I made his BFF coming to his house on working day! Shah and Ameen came with working attire! haha.. Also with their partners-Nis and Sha (my bff). Epul was really shocked when he saw his BFF came! Ya la... it was quite far u know... They were working in KL areas and they have made their effort to come to Klang ! I owe them so much..haha.. teror jugak kan i buat surprise ;)

So, this year.. I set up a surprised birthday Iftar for him.

Anyway, on the night of his birthday, i asked my kids to wake his papa up and handed the gifts that I bought a month earlier, with a birthday card. I bought him a watch. Brand? Secret hehe.

Fahri: papa wake up! Ni papa punya!

pandai anak mama

Me: Sorry abg... cake x de (sedangkan berlakon je)

Fahri read the card in his language. and Naeem was checking the warranty booklet heh. Original kan naeem...

So, I have planned this surprised iftar since months ago. I have checked out some places based on few criteria. I know hubby doesn't like Ramadhan buffet because both of us will not finish it. So, few restaurants were out of the list. After few selections, this place has occurred onto my list on the very last minute, just a day before his birthday. Vivo American Pizza & Panani in AEON Bukit Tinggi. Firstly, it is very close from our house, so we don't have to rush. Secondly, we can just order for ala carte menu. Thirdly, it is located in a shopping mall, so it is very convenient for us to solat and the kids will behave since there are so many 'distractions' to offer haha. And most importantly, I have chosen Vivo because both boys really love pizza so I know they especially Fahri will sit quietly and enjoying his pizza.

I made a reservation through a phone call and explained all my plans for the birthday iftar. Even though the staff is non-Muslim but he understood well what I wanted to be done. Good job Alvin! So on the birthday, after work, I fetched Fahri from Little Caliphs and headed to AEON Bukit Tinggi. I went to Vivo and confirmed my reservation by placing an order. To make things easier, I paid for the bill straight away ( I made my hubby chose his menu first from whatsapp). Then, I went to bakery shop to get a birthday cake and brought it back to Vivo for them to decorate.

I went back home, luckily hubby reached home later than me. I got my kids and myself ready. Hubby asked me to call Vivo saying that we will be late. I pretended like OK.. i'll call them. He said they might cancel the reservation because he didn't know that I've already paid for everything ;)

When we reached Vivo, our Tropical Swing Juice and Choco Brownies Mallows were already on our dining table :)

Then, the staff came with the surprised birthday cake. I did not take pictures because I took a video when the staff came. Buttt.. the birthday some came out a lil bit later and it was quite slow so hubby didn't look that surprise. Anyway, I still can see his shy-shy cat face haha only that mattered to me kihkih.
