Desmond’s 30th Party

Last Saturday was Desmond’s 30th birthday and we (the Hall 6 Gang) threw a huge party for him at West Coast MacDonald’s!

This party took us 4 weeks to plan and boy! It definitely kept us busy… Firstly, we custom-made M&M chocolates from the U.S and shipped it to Singapore. On the M&M, instead of “M&M”, we had “Are you thirty yet?” and “Sweet Thirties”. These M&Ms were then packed in cute little tin cans and presented to everyone as door gifts.

Secondly, it was a theme party, which was “Cartoon”. Everyone had to crack their brains as to which cartoon characters to be! Some even went to rent costumes! We had Woody from The Toy Story, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Strawberry Shortcake, Little red riding hood, Speedy Gonzalaz, My Sweet Melody, Slamdunk, Batman, Superman and… many more!

Hrm… As for me, I dressed up as the Hello Kitty! ;p We even had a best dressed award and that award went to the Flintstones couple, Barney and Betty!

Lastly, it was a surprise party and all were planned without the birthday’s boy knowledge. That was pretty tough since Desmond was such a busybody! Nonetheless, when we all jumped up and shouted “Surprise!” as he walked in the Party room; he was so touched that he couldn’t help but to shed a few tears!

I really had great fun, seeing all of us dressed up and horsing around, just like the good, old days when we are still in college. Times like these, I am so glad to be home and share these magical moments with my dear friends.

Cost of my costume:
Cat-ears Hair band – 12 dollars
Cat whiskers – 2 dollars
Party cover charge – 20 dollars

Desmond’s expression – PRICELESS!
