As time would have allowed very nicely, I was back in London in time for K's birthday. However the one small problem I had - I was very jet lagged as I was back for barely two days.
Worried that I would forget about planning his birthday as I would have been busy with my plans for Singapore, I made a special birthday reservation at the restaurant which he proposed last year, one month in advance.
Kiasu right?! hehe Well but guess what, to have a table in their beautiful conservatory, you do indeed need to make a reservation one month in advance. There are only 7 tables in the conservatory and everyone wants to be there.
I didn't tell him where I had planned to bring him for dinner so he was kept in the dark till the very last minute. I told him to meet at Covent Garden tube station and we were "going for a show". He was baffled and said "No food? But we are gonna be so hungry at the end of it!" Heehee sounding completely like a Singaporean.
We walked toward the restaurant and he blurted out "Oh we are going to the restaurant where we got engaged?" Secret's out. Yes we are indeed! I was so glad when the waitress brought us into the conservatory, and funnily that night, every single table there was a birthday dinner. We had the one right in the middle of it - made us feel very special.

The same Friday K's friends had a dinner gathering and I suggested to one of our friends to get a birthday cake. It was really funny because the restaurant dimmed the lights and one of the waiters came out with a birthday cake while we sang the birthday song. K had no idea and commented "oh it's someone's birthday today!" and then his mouth opened wide when the waiter brought the cake in front of him. haha hilarious!
