Clearing leave from 19 - 26th December (made enemies when my colleagues found out I still had to carry forward 3 days to 2008) - just nice to celebrate GW's bday and Xmas with frens and family.

It all started when I recalled Mum baking stuff using her broiler. I can still see past memories of 5 spice roast chicken, pork chops & chocolate cake tantalising everyone in the house.

It didn't take long to enlist Dad's help to haul the whole thing back from Grandma's.



You won't believe how relieved I was seeing this word on the dial:


30mins later

Stacked brownie hill + peanut M&M and silver dragee ornaments + drizzled marshmallow creme fake snow + Happy Birthday sign from ex-Prima Deli cake = Mr Chemistry's Birthday Cake


I couldn't resisting grabbing a bag of these animal shaped pasta in Cold Storage.
& when I saw Chio Beh in the line up, I swore to come back for more!


20mins later

Homemade chicken soup. Hearty & rich - comfort food for a cold rainy day =)


I happened to chance on the perfect card the night before:


And personalized it with my signature style:


Ultimate Indulgence: cuddling up to a movie + brownies + wine


It's no wonder my man is happy =D Love the look on his face when I brought the cake out.

Everything's made with luuurve, baby!

Got him a new Mont Blanc bag too but forgot to take pic. All in all, I think it all went really well.

Happy Birthday darling!
