About three weeks ago, @chloephuan93 asked me if I could help her organize a surprise birthday party for #teammalaysia's @littlenewthings. I brought along @joannewong and @aaronleang to the secret group chat to discuss the surprise birthday party.

Who is @littlenewthings?

Well, for starters, @littlenewthings have played one of the biggest role in #teammalaysia as the HQ. She is one of the early #teammalaysia leaders who is also in charge of the whole #teammalaysia discord channel. Working side by side with #teammalaysia's witness and lead, @bitrocker2020 and @awesomianist, they've successfully grow #teammalaysia from less than 10 members to now over 1600 members in just a few months.

What she does behind the scene is a thankless role, and not many would know how to appreciate her. So for this upcoming birthday party, we wanted to show our appreciation to her for all that she has done.

This is the lady I'm talking about, meet @littlenewthings. @chloephuan93 got her roses for belated mother's day because @littlenewthings have been caring for Chloe under the same church.

The surprise birthday party took place at Sukishi Steamboat Buffet, and this time I was SUPER careful not to burn my tongue again. I had a lisp for few days because I burnt my tongue last week really badly. Well, @joannewong told @littlenewthings that since she would be busy for the coming month, we should all gather and have a meetup as a coverup. Little did she know that it was to celebrate her birthday party.

I arrived a little late because I was looking for a bakery shop nearby to get the birthday cake. I checked that mall that we were going to dine in and the directory said that there was a bakery inside the mall, or so I thought. It was a bakery but no cakes... So I went out from the mall and Thank GOD I was in a food district, where several bakeries were on every corner. I chose what I thought was the best bakery and got @littlenewthings a chocolate mousse. I mean.... who doesn't love a rich in chocolate cake especially when the cake was pretty pack full.

When the cake arrived, the whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday along with us. Apparently, we found out later the table next to us had a birthday girl as well. So it was double the birthday, double the wishes and double the fun. Lol, I don't know what that means but yea! Happy Birthday!

With the cake and candle lit, @littlenewthings made her wish. You can read her post about the wishes she made here :

Happy Birthday @littlenewthings

Wishes and blessings to you once again @littlenewthings though it's still a little bit early. Her birthday is not till June but no harm wishing her more times. I pray for health, wealth, and blessings for you and your family and thank you for all that you've done to build this amazing community, #teammalaysia.

It's so cool to see the Malaysian community and a group of friends linked from Steemit. The food look amazing as well @zord189!
I can't wait to visit London in August, I heard there is some authentic eastern food there. Not the over spicy over ingredients sushi that we are usually served in Europe!
Greetings from 🇮🇹👋 and happy birthday to @littlenewthings

A surprise birthday celebration is indeed a happy feast to every celebrant. Belated Happy birthday @littlenewthings! We may not know each other but my wish for you is to have great joy and good health.

Cheers to more life and to your friendship with @zord189 and to the other team malaysia members. :)

Thank you for the nice wishes :D

Looks like a great celebration!!!! successful surprise!

Happy birthday @littlenewthings! You are definitely an important part in the kingdom and team Malaysia!!!!

@joannewong's cover-up is brilliant!!!!

Haha, @littlenewthings found out about the surprise halfway through because got people wish her.. LOL

Hahahaha surprise failed? But her smile says she is very smile. Yes hor, @littlenewthings? Will be such a different birthday this year since you will be moving to a new place too! Thank you for still planning your best, @zord189!!!!

Hahah, partially failed. :D @joannewong did most of the planning! salute

I love to see when communities like teammalaysia get together and celebrate with each other, these are the types of things that will make steemit and steem more accepted around the world. Keep up the great work and happy belated birthday @littlenewthings.
Thanks for sharing this story @zord189, and from the looks of the votes I'm not the only one who appreciates this story. Very well done and deserving of every vote.

Thanks @sultnpapper. I hope that one that we can meet too! Not impossible. :)

Your right, not impossible but probably not likely, but that's okay. We learn a lot from each other and that is important regardless if we ever meet in person.

awww, but that's true. :)

One thing i like your community most is the unity and close coherence. This is priceless.

Team Malaysia rules. Yours is probably one of the most welcoming and awesome communities on steemit :)

I think most of the Malaysians on here are really respectful! Is that normal? I see a lot of Europeans and Americans tearing lumps out of each other! haha

Hahaha, you're only seeing the good side. Just like everywhere else, we certainly do have bad apples but I'm glad you've only met the good ones :P You won't want to meet the bad bad ones and I hope you don't. Makes life easier :D

This is very true actually. I haven't met a bad apple yet. Although I have only really talked in depth with you here. I also have a few Malaysian friends from back 2001-ish, and one girl I used to send gifts to -- not in that way, only that I liked her as a person! She was super nice. She was from Jakarta, I remember in my younger days when I had long periods of unemployment I'd fire up my webcam and chat with her whilst she was at work

Ngawww, where is she now?? Lost contact ? :(

@zord189 I got really ill. Around the time I was bettering myself I also got really ill and became a hermit for two years. I told most of my friends to fuck off back then in some delusion that they didn't have my best interests at heart. Mental Health sucks at times. When I got better I tried to reconnect with everyone but there were some people that just didn't understand (she was included) and that's fine, y'know? Some people just don't understand sadly.

Ohhhh... that's unfortunate. :( Life does goes on.

nice post and all that food, especially that chocolate cake made me hungry!

Hehe, thanks. ohhh it IS delicious :D

Awww this was such a sweet post and a Wonderful Birthday surprise for @littlenewthings! I have had the pleasure to work with her in the Steemitmamas Discord group and she is amazing. She gets things done so quickly and effortlessly and is seems to always be available when needed. I am so glad you all did this for her! Thanks for sharing~

Great pics btw!! 😃

hi @crosheille! Yesh, she has done tremendous work in building communities. I've also heard her help manage steemitmamas too!

Thanks :D

Absolutely ;)

Aw. That is really sweet of all of you. And yes, indeed I am a June baby but I guess a little earlier is no harm done as well.
You made an excellent choice of the cake, and it shamed the restaurant's soft ice-cream immediately.

Nothing beats the Family Mart Matcha ice-cream.

And I hope your tongue is better now from the first steamboat's burnt.

You are right the Suki Yaki soup takes a really long time to boil, but at the same time takes a really long time to cool down. Which is unusual I must say.

upvoted and resteemed

I love family mart ice cream too..

Family mart ice cream is the best! The matcha is still the best flavour they have.

Look at thay photo quality!!!! Hahaha bet you're enjoying it

haha, best camera!
