My Birthday Treat (Part 1 of 3)

Hubby gave me a surprised by bringing us for a vacation to Ayuthaya, Thailand on my birthday. Actually our day didn’t started well as me and hubby had an early morning fight before we board and also when we were taking a cab from Bangkok to Ayuthaya, the apparently very polite and soft spoken taxi driver not only over charged us for our trip (1,300B), when he unloaded our luggage from the taxi car trunk, he tried to steal my purse (or should I say he has stolen my purse) from my hand luggage!!! Initially I didn’t feel good that hubby actually put my hand luggage at the back of the taxi trunk so after the ‘helpful’ taxi driver unloaded our stuffs from the taxi (while me and hubby was busy unloading Angel’s stuffs from the front seat), I just do a quick check on my purse ….. and I really couldn’t believe my eyes when I can’t find my purse there anymore! When the taxi driver saw that I actually checked my bag, he somehow panic a bit and go to his trunk as if he is tidying up the car trunk (he is either trying to hide my purse / left my purse back there to let me ‘find’ it) and there is where I found my purse back, under the layers of carpet (how could my purse get ‘under’ the carpet which was loaded with luggage if it was fallen out by itself?) and the stupid taxi driver still acting making a ‘relief’ face and sound and tell me I am lucky that I didn’t ‘left’ my purse at his trunk >:( He thought we were stupid!!!! Anyway, I am glad that at least my purse was still with me!!

We do nothing much on the first day and had our dinner in the floating restaurants beside our hotel (taste so-so but the view is ok and cost us 800+ B) and have a walk at a small night market where Angel chase some dogs there (she is so daring). After that we headed straight back to hotel. I am a bit exhausted and before dozed off at midnight, suddenly hubby “shoosh ….” me and tell me there is someone knocking at our door and before I could tell hubby off and pull the blanket over my head, I saw hubby holding a birthday cake with candles where the room service boy is standing at our door site watching me and Angel lying on the bed, hahaha ……. I am really thrilled and Angel’s eyes were so big staring at those candles!!!! Hubby sang me a birthday song (while I was still blur blur still try to figure out what’s happening), Angel tried to help me with those candles blowing and gosh …. The hotel actually surprised me with a birthday candle pranks (no wonder the candles keep lighting back) until hubby needs to take those candles to water them off in the toilet which he said he got nothing to do with the pranks :P The entire room was so smoky due to the candles but the cake taste so nice especially during midnights, so I am lying on my bed eating my birthday cakes and can’t stop myself from smiling don’t know for what! I also got a birthday card and an ‘Ang Pow’ from hubby as my birthday gift :) The funny part was the design of the cake, I saw something like an ‘apple’ character on my cake and asked hubby why ……. hubby told me actually he called the hotel manager to arrange for the cake and he asked for “a vanilla cake with strawberry decorations” (which means using fresh strawberry layering on top like a fruit cake) and the cake house actually made a vanilla cake with a strawberry pattern on top, hahahaha …… so that’s my lovely ‘strawberry’ deco cake, must have given the bakery such a hard time to think of how to draw a strawberry coz I don’t think anyone will purposely asked for a strawberry to be drawn on top as decorations LoL It was funny!!! But the cake was nice, I ate almost half of the 2 pound cake actually and given half of it to the hotel staffs :)
