Alvin Birthday 1 Aug 2016

This year daddy’s birthday is on a Monday. I was thinking of want to give him a surprise! And, all of the preparations was so rush and it happened that I only have the weekend to buy all the surprises!

On the Saturday before the actual birthday, during Annabelle’s violin class at Empire Shopping Gallery Subang Jaya.

Annabelle and I were shopping together at the Tang’s Departmental Store to look for gift as Daddy’s birthday present while both Issac and Daddy were going for a hair cut.

At Tang’s, I was thinking of a bow tie initially. Somehow I was not too sure on the that. We were walking around at the Men’s Section, finally I noticed the Cross pen with Marvel Super Heroes theme.

I was thinking like: Oh ok, may be this can fit him as he likes Captain America. Annabelle agreed on this idea. We had a closer look at the pen and both of us agreed that we should check with Issac first.

I have spoken to the sales person that I took some photographs and I would come back later.

After accompanied Annabelle to her violin class, I quickly went down to look for Issac and Daddy at the Jaya Grocer, and we were discussing behind Daddy on which option will he like, just to make sure we choose the one he like.

There are 3 options: Iron Man pen which it is in red color and with Iron Man signature head on the pen holder, Captain America pen in  blue color and with signature shield on the pen holder, or the Spider Man pen which is combination of red and blue color with signature spider mask.

Issac was so clever that he asked his Dad, “Daddy, what is your favorite Marvel Super Hero?” His Daddy answered, “Captain America”. Issac smiled and looked at me. After which, I just finding excuses that I want to go to buy female sanitary pads at the pharmacy.

I bought the Captain America pen with an extra refill. I bought a birthday card at the customer service there.

On today actual day, once we woke up all of us rushed out to school and work. On the way driving only, I suddenly realized that we did not wish him Happy Birthday.

I quickly called him, and asked Issac to wish him. At first, Daddy was stunned and only realized too that it was his birthday!

After work in the evening, I went to Berry’s to buy a small birthday cake before I fetched Annabelle and Issac. They were so excited seeing the cake.

We celebrated Daddy’s birthday after we had our dinner outside. We lighted the candles and Daddy made a wish before cutting the cake. Issac went and took the surprise we have for him. Daddy was very happy and appreciated with our small little gestures on his special day!
