daddy-to-be 28th birthday!

my husband turns 28 today,
the 11th october 2011!

this year is our first time celebrating as a married couple.
alhamdulillah!

honestly,
i ran out of ideas of what to do for his birthday.
i had to do some research and generate my creative brain cells to think.

i managed to come up with some plans weeks before and i had a tough time to keep it to myself.
i am too excited to let him know.
in the end,
i did revealed about 15% of his birthday plans and gave 2 of his birthday gifts a day earlier.

one of his birthday gifts include the below.
a journal and stickers.


want to guess what it is?


it has dates and months!


yes, a 2012 organizer!

every end of the year,
i noticed that it has been hard for him to find a nice cover for a full page day organizer.
normally that you find in stores are those weekly organizer.
so for the 1st birthday gift,
i decided to make an organizer for him.

when i presented the organizer to him,
he was pleased with it!
he mentioned that it is a touching gift.

yes, all those dates, months and days are handwritten.

and i add personal touch to special days!

even a public holiday countdown.

and the other surprise was:

i slotted in 2 tickets to the lion king musical in the organizer!
so while flipping through the pages,
he found the tickets and started grinning away!

we had watched the lion king in march.
because it was so good,
my husband did suggest to me that he wanted to watch it again.
but i didn't really agree as the tickets that he bought earlier, cat 2 tickets were ex but the seats were good.
centre, 4th row from the stage.
so i told him why waste money again?
we could use the money into our baby fund.
after much thought,
he dropped the idea of watching it again.

since i panic that i didn't have much idea for his birthday,
i decided to get the tickets to the lion king again.
cat 2 tickets, centre, 4th row from the stage.
i really felt the hole in my pocket while making the purchase.
but since it is his birthday and i know this will make him happy,
i don't mind.
=)

he got what he wished for!


we still enjoyed the lion king musical the second time round!

 on the eve of his birthday,
we had dinner at straits kitchen (third birthday gift).

it has been years since we last visited the place.


the first dish that we had was naan, tandoori chicken and butter chicken!
followed by chinese styled fried rice, crab, rojak and i lose tracked of what else we ate.
we ate to our heart's content.
=)

while we were resting for our last few rounds,
i decided to hand him his fourth birthday gift.

look at his excited face!


'i made a present for daddy'

busy looking at the other stuff.


a daddy-to-be kit!

since he is going to be a father,
he needs to be familiar with the stuff below.
