Happy Birthday, Moorish!

It's Moorish's birthday today. We organized a suprise birthday celebration for her during the weekend. Boy oh boy, was she shocked and speechless!!

It was seriously tough to plan that. Sue & I had to get hold of her boyfriend, KY and her ex-Leeds housemate, EH. We didn't have KY's contact number. All we knew was that he's working in an Oil & Gas firm in Rohas Perkasa. So, thinking thinking.. "the power of the Internet!", I Googled it. Turns our that almost 80% of the firms in Rohas Perkasa are Oil & Gas!! Gosh.. So I scrolled down the page and a name seemed very familar. I remember Moorish mentioning that firm's name in her emails. So, I tried my luck and called up the company, looking for KY. The name exists!!

Anyway, on one side, Sue, KY & I corresponded through e-mails, and decided that we should book for a room at Prince Hotel under KY's company. On another side, EH said that her & Moorish's other housemate, YL was coming up from Singapore to celebrate Moorish's birthday. So, we were gonna group everyone together!

Had some problems fitting everyone's plans in but at the end, we managed to get a room at Micasa Hotel. So the actual plan was, Moorish was supposed to meet up with EH and YL for their housemates' reunion. Moorish was actually searching for a hotel room for them to stay (she did ask me to check the rates for Cititel). So we planned it in such a way where EH said that her mom could get a cheap rate in Micasa (in actual fact, KY was the one getting the room), and it took me, KY, Sue and EH to convince to take up Micasa instead of Cititel. That was tough! Finally she agreed and we got on with the plans.

Saturday afternoon, Sue, Inspector & I went to TMC to get the stuffs for steamboat dinner. We kept putting stuffs into the basket and was worried if they were enough for 11 people. I went to King's and got a Cream Cheese Blueberry Cake. We met again at Micasa, Sue checked in and we started preparing the steamboat. The room was fantastic!! Extremely posh for a hotel apartment!!! It has 2 single beds, a TV, wardrobe with a safe in it, kitchen sink, fridge, microwave oven, toaster, living area, dining area with a huge working desk, and a balcony!! For RM 165!!!!

Anyway, EH came over with another friend, SY, and we waited for Moorish to call EH. Moorish was to meet up with YL at KLCC, while EH was to 'check in' for them, and then Moorish & YL was to drive to Micasa to meet up with EH. So, when they arrived, EH went to meet them at the reception, the steamboat dinner was prepared, we waited in the dark. When they finally came into the room, opened the room door, turned on the lights and Moorish stepped into the room, we shouted "SUPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She was flabbergasted! *lol* Had the whole night eating steamboat and the birthday cake. :) It was too bad that KY had to be in Singapore for work at a very late notice, otherwise it would be an even more memorable birthday for Moorish.

Hehe.. Post birthday celebration, she said it was the best birthday she has ever had. To me, it would be, coz she got to celebrate her 24th birthday with her secondary school classmates as well as her Leeds housemates. What's more, with KY contributing to the plans. Hehe.. Hope that it will really be a memorable one for Moorish. It was all worth it. :)

Happy Birthday, Moorish!!
