Club Med Bali: The Surprise, Finally.

Part 1 (Food), Part 2 (Monokini), Part 3 (Windsurfing) of Club Med Bali posts.

It was a night of Balinese theme.

And the Balinese always have really colorful theme. Hence I opted for an equally vibrant dress.

There were all sorts of things selling that night, Balinese things mainly. Little trinkets and keychains of sorts.

That morning, I snuck out of the hotel room to make a reservation at the reception for dinner at Batur restaurant, and placed an order for a birthday cake. ;)

Baby wore white that night.

And this was the restaurant where we had our romantic dinner. His birthday dinner.

We were given a set menu to choose from.

The food presentation were nice, but didn't really have really impressive taste.

Sadly, we may have argued somewhere during dinner because he wasn't happy with my greetings to him that morning (apparently I didn't wish him happy birthday). That argument made me cry.

Which explained why I didn't have a photo of myself until much later. With my mascara smudged and swollen eyes, I looked like crap. :((

He nearly walked out of the restaurant leaving me hanging there alone with the surprise cake that's about to come out from the kitchen with a group of GOs.

I panicked and in the midst of sobs and tears, I blurted out my surprise so he wouldn't leave me sitting there alone. It was saddest night I could imagine planning something so special for someone you love.

In his defense, he thought he could have a nicer morning greetings on his birthday. You see, I had a nightmare that night before, and woke up with a really foul mood. In my defense, all I wanted was my baby to come and hug me and tell me it's alright after such a horrible nightmare.

Anyway, let's move on.

After the meal, the group of chefs and GOs walked out from behind carrying a birthday cake in the dark, lighting it as they went.

Baby still didn't realise it at this point. Blur photo but you can see the people sneaking up on him from behind.

And he finally saw them!

Everyone sang.

shook hand. thank you.

Quite pretty right?

Making a wish.

Our left-over cake. Unable to finish. Sworn to come back and take away the rest but never did. Sorry chefs!

us already made up.

That was also performances that evening. Balinese traditional dance, and many other activities.

Fire acts.

Making candy from sugar.

Balinese limbo?

Card models in Kimonos? Wait, how was this Balinese?

We even had a go at the bamboo dance.

Balinese or not, it's definitely South East Asian.

Then we drank the night away.

Till we got tired and decided to head back to the room.

Where there's another surprise, the real final one, waiting for him in his room. :)

First I had him waited outside the room for me while I quickly took the surprise from my luggage and placed it on the bed.

Then I had him closed his eyes and led him to the bed. (sounds kinky but no, nothing of the sort)

For this present, I busted more than half my budget, not to the mention to cost for this trip. It hurted, bad (for my purse).

But, as we all know, everything was worth it the moment you see his face the moment he laid his eyes on it.

He ran to the corner of the room screaming his head off not believing what he saw.

Frankly, it was my first time buying something so expensive for a person I love, well, for anyone at all.

It was also my first branded purchase. I don't think I can perform this kind of thing anymore next year, trip and present and all, I probably busted my budget for the next two years.
