surprise number one.
ben has been obsessed with ashley wood. an artist from australia who has made it big.
he released "figurines" or as i called them, toys every month or so. i thought it would be nice if i surprised ben with buying him a set of ten "squares", cute little things.
so the night before their release ben told me he was going to wake up in the morning when they were released and purchased them.
ruin my plan? i think not. so i bitched and moaned about how he doesn't save his money, spends it on stupid stuff and that we were going to hamilton island in a few months and he would have no money. in the end, he succumbed to my persistent nagging.... the next few weeks however i didn't hear the end of it.
finally i snapped... i couldn't take it any longer. I GOT YOU YOUR FREAKEN SQUARES.
over the moon he was, but shattered was i... for my brilliant surprise had gone down the drain.
time for a new surprise i say...
i love this pic of charlie vs. the squares. so cute!
surprise number two.
so because ben had ruined my squares surprise... i needed to get him another present, and this time keep it a surprise from him. we went shopping one day and we were in ozmosis. i asked him whether he would like a watch, for the watch he'd been wearing he's owned six year six. as soon as he tried it on it was perfect, matched him completely and he loved the simplicity of it. on his birthday before dinner i brought it over... gobsmacked he was. i hope you still love it baby :)
surprise number three.
i planned a romantic dinner for ben at Longgrain - a thai restaurant in the CBD. curiosity for this restaurant emerged when watching Masterchef, the head chef Martin Boetz, was a celebrity chef and his signature dish, the eggnet was the feature on MC.
although benjamin knew that we were going out for dinner, he had no idea that the surprise was that i had organised for all his best mates to be there as well. dinner for two? nope, dinner for twenty :D
i wish i had recorded his reaction when he had walked into the restaurant and saw his best mates spread over two banquet tables. priceless.
a seven course banquet was pre-ordered and the food was de-ish... the flavours aromas and textures were divine. would totally recommend the restaurant for anyone who loves thai.
the food
the friends
surprise number four.
earlier that day i had driven to heidelberg to sweet by nature - an amazing cake shop/bakery that does divine sweets. my plan was to get ben a b'day cake, bring it over to dave's and get him to bring it to longgrain, therefore keeping ben out of the loop. KEKEKE.
now i know ben has a boner every time he sees chocolate cake so chocolate cake it was. i ended up getting him the "marz attack". this cake was AWESOME. we were all stuffed after dinner though and didn't end up finishing it all. was shattered though coz longgrain cut it all up and left nothing to take home :( boo.
the birthday boy...
and his cake
