Unexpected Birthday Bash

On July 31st 2010 which was a Saturday, my parents invited some relatives to have dinner with me and my family in a restaurant in the ex-Subang Sheraton Hotel which has now acquired a new name of which I do not remember.
Anyway, the story goes like this. I was told that my father had a voucher that enabled us to invite quite a number of guest to the hotel for a dinner and he had to use it soon as the expiring date was closing in. After much discussion of whom should we invite(since both sides of my parents have quite a large family) we finally settled on a date and number of people to invite.
I was around when some of the relatives called to ask my mum what was the occasion of the dinner. She said casually as a reunion for me and them since we haven't meet up for about a year. At that point of time, I believed what she said and since she even denied that it was for my birthday which was still about 10 days away, I totally discarded the idea that the dinner was in fact a birthday surprise for me.
At that night, upon reaching the hotel, I went down to the restaurant and waited for others to turn up. I was also surprised that my father's partner was also having dinner together with her own relatives. I was glad to see some faces which I have not glanced upon for a long long time.
During the dinner, my father being who he always is - a gracious host, went around chatting with all the guest to ensure they were enjoying themselves and talking to the managers in charge whom he had known from earlier meetings.
He introduced me to the manager in charge for the restaurant-cafe which we were dining in and told me she was the one who arranged dinner for us. I thanked her with no knowledge of what she was going to do.
After eating quite a bit, I came to a conclusion that my parents were indeed throwing me a surprise birthday bash and me being me, walked around the reception counter to see if there were any cakes with my name on it.
This was because last year I had a birthday celebration in another hotel restaurant and the only difference was that last year I knew it was a birthday dinner. When I saw a cake on one of the kitchen counter, I was shocked and walked over to see if it was mine. When I saw that it belonged to some other family who were eating their dinner here, I felt my mind at ease and thought that maybe this is not a surprise birthday dinner but just an ordinary dinner.
Though, I was wrong. In the middle of my chat with my younger cousins, the whole serving crew of the restaurant made their way to me with a cake and was singing the brithday song aloud.
Man, was I not embarrassed. The most important factor of me being embarresed was because most of the people in the dinner were my elders and only a few were younger than me and they were all singing the brithday song to me. I think I went red when they were singing the song.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun meeting up with my relatives and friends and the dinner was not too bad either. All I want to say is Thanks to my parents for organizing such a wonderful birthday surprise for me !!
