Happy Birthday, Tinnie!

While you were witnessing the openings of Beijing Olympics last night, the entire crew at butter was celebrating Tinnie’s birthday and witnessing the openings of a bottle too many whiskeys at table 15.

Tinnie is one of butter’s directors, who prior to the party, announced that if anyone had the guts to put more than 25 candles on her birthday cake, no one would walk out of butter live.

Now, if you know Tinnie, you know this lady means business. Her assassins aplenty and they do it from behind. We were afraid, very afraid.

Fear aside, many “happy birthday’s” and countless rounds of “cheers!” later, even the shyest dude decided he’d conquer the dance floor. Everyone was just dancing as if no one was watching. Oh, I promise you, A LOT of people were watching indeed.

The music stopped right at the stroke of midnight. As the butter crew wheeled out a large birthday cake with ‘Happy Birthday’ scrawled all over its creamy surface, eight servers marched in single file carrying eight champagnes decorated with sparks and fireworks. The huge screens behind the stages flashed birthday greetings and the DJ hollered sassy wishes amid the booming music.

Tinnie’s jaw dropped. We were screaming, shaking booties, and popping champagnes. Guests at the other tables soon joined in the fun. The laughter was contagious!

And if you’re wondering how many candles were on the cake – exactly one.
