Birthday Week (Day 1) : The Office Birthday Surprise

Posted by pat on Sep 22, 2009 in Life and Stuff | 0 comments

So after lunch, I began getting busy working on my desk when Mikey calls me over to the pantry,”Judd wants to talk to you”. I’m like, “What does he need? Weird” So I walk over and then Judd jumps out of the pantry to keep me from going in. Apparently, Mikey called me in a bit prematurely. Whoops too late, i saw what they were doing inside. They prepared a little birthday surprise for me. lol. The mastermind? Carlos.

I go inside anyway and they were lighting the cake. (Surprise fail!) They brought out 25 “no die” candles, stuck ‘em in the cake, and tried to light them. It took them a while to get them all lit and by the time they were done lighting the candles, some of them were half burnt. Then they turn to me told me to BLOW THE CANDLES. Apparently, it WAS for me after all.

So there i was trying to blow 25 candles that just wouldn’t die (ever heard of them magic candles). The more I blew, the thicker the smoke become. It got quite…. bad actually. Any thicker and the sprinklers would’ve gone off. Now THAT would’ve been hilarious.

Check the video:

“Epic FAIL!”

There I am, trying to blow candles and trying hard not laugh. I have no idea why my movements were all prissy. I wish I dressed up a bit this morning! I look like a total dork the video. I need a make over… baaad. I didn’t really care to look good today.

After that candle-blowing episode, we had to scrape off the icing on top as it was covered with ashes. What can expect after 25 candles..

It was really quite funny. Hilarious moment I tell you. Smoke Alarms, candles that won’t die, Miss Tec (the Admin head) getting upset, ashes in the cake….

I want to thank the Nuffnang peeps (Judd, Carlos, Anne) and the Molve peeps (Mikey and peeps for the little surprise. That was really sweet of you guys.
