Today is 22nd November. My 17th Birthday. :)
And a very memorable one...
Ah ok before I get into details I’ll blog about what happened on Thursday.
I went with my college friends... Angeline, Seow Hwee, Si Han, Eve, Agnes, Edna and Sokyi for my birthday dinner <3 We went to this western restaurant in Bugis. Haha, I forgot the name. But there was Barack Obama standing outside. (WOW!) Lol. It was just a cardboard copy of him la. Would the American president come to Bugis? =/ I don’t think so. Haha xD
It was super fun, though Seow Hwee and Edna were very very late due to OSLE. The food was good, and the manager was really friendly :) After that we walked all the way to Suntec City and went to the book fair there. LOL. I got some ‘freebies’ from eve, like a pen and the POP club mag she didn’t want.
Oh yes, they gave me my present too. I accidentally left it behind at the restaurant, but the nice manager came running after us :P haha. Sry!
Then I went home and opened it. It was a keychain with my namesake on it, and a dwarf from the Seven. Guess which one it was?
Can’t?
Look at my blog’s name!
____ efxw?
Sleepy!!!!!
Haha xD it was damn cute la. Thanks guys!!!
NOW. TODAY.
I was pretty apprehensive because I told Cybil I wanted a surprise. And knowing her wacky ideas, I was really nervous about what was gonna happen. So I started guessing alot. Haha. But she tried too hard to be mysterious and I guessed what they were gonna do so they had to change their plans. <--- She told me that after everything happened.
Apparently, I was told that they would call me at 4-5 and I would go off to J8. But she asked me this question, which raised my suspicions: ‘Will you be home before that?’ HENCE. I guessed that they were coming to crash my house. She refused to say anything, but yep – lol. They were planning to do that.
Now what i’m going to tell you is how they managed to surprise me today.
XY called me at 4.30 and said that she was alone at J8’s rooftop (you know, the open air, playground area?). I called Cybil and she said she was running late cos she had a project in Kampong Glam before that and would be half an hour late.
I was like thinking - Eh. You’re going to be late? Huh. Then my surprise leh? -.-
Ah whatever. So I got changed and I went over to find XY. When I reached, she was there, together with Shi Kai (who, apparently, came ‘earlier’.) I honestly thought they were going to surprise me there -.- and I was thinking, SO PREDICTABLE LAH. But to my surprise, nothing happened!
OK. So suddenly XY stood up and said: ‘You know what? I haven’t got you your present yet. I’m going to go shop now.’ That was so totally random that I got again, suspicious. I thought she was gonna come back with the rest in tow singing Happy Birthday or smth. I thought again: SO PREDICTABLE. -.-
But they didn’t! She came back with a plastic bag, and gave it to me. It was a nice pencil case (thanks dear :)) Then as I had to get a present for my sister, whose birthday was 4 days earlier, the three of us went walking around, and I bought her a casing for her DSLite.
After that, XY said she had to go to the toilet. When I was waiting for her inside, I got a call from Jiaying, asking for her Peach Girl VCD back, which she had loaned to me WAYYYY WAYYY WAYYYY back in secondary school. She said she needed it V urgently, and even though I said I was out with friends, she told me to go back home and find it.
I was damn pissed la!!! Wahlao! You didn’t even wish me happy birthday and even made such a selfish request! I was complaining VERY LOUDLY to XY while she was in the cubicle. Then, like the responsible person that I am, I told her and Shi Kai to wait in J8 for Cybil and the rest of the very very late friends(I had no idea who. Cybil didn’t even wanna tell me -.-), while I went and searched for that &*^&$$# VCD.
While I walked home my mood was quite bad. One, because yeah, of JY. Two, because all the friends that were supposed to be there for my birthday were VERY VERY LATE. I called Cybil while I was walking and told her I was going home for a while first. I think I even cursed a bit la. Lol :P I asked her where she was, and she said in a taxi and she was stuck in a traffic jam. I found this a bit weird because when I called her quite long ago she was already on her way. So I suspected that they were in my house, but I was too angry to think much about it.
When I reached my house I looked at the shoes outside – No unfamiliar ones. Eh. So i’m wrong again. Whatever. Now to find that *&$#$@ VCD.
When I walked upstairs to my room, I remember thinking, why the heck is my light so dim? Must be the light spoil – AHHHHHHH! Noise Avalanche!! Balloons and streamers and whatnot came pouring down on my head and when I looked up it was CYBIL TAN, CHEW JIAYING(THE VCD LOAN SHARK) AND ALL THE OTHER ERRANT LATECOMERS – YUNXI AND XIANNENG. And the dim light was actually coming from the candles on a birthday cake.

Sniff. It was all so surreal. I remember thinking, THEY ARE IN MY HOUSE? WTF? This is not real.
But it was! Haha!!! Together with a streamer that read: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
AHHHHH. xDDDD So amid all my confusion Cybil gave me a party hat to wear and they sang the birthday song and I blew out the candles :)
XY and Shi Kai who apparently trailed behind me came later and we all ate cake while sitting in my very narrow corridor.
Apparently my mom who went out too and came back earlier than me was thought to be me, and JY threw a balloon at her before they realised it was a false alarm -.- Haha. And they were all at J8 before and left when I came -.- my sis let them in. LOLness.
Haha we had to clean up after that because of all the streamers, then Yunxi had to leave because she had tons of math homework to hand up on Monday.
We went to J8’s swensons :) and I had the birthday ice cream. Ah, they sang the birthday song again despite me trying to escape.
I left at about 10 and before that Cybil gave me my birthday present. Apparently why she took so long to give it to me was that she thought I already had it. It was a Jay Chou 2004 Incomparable Concert VCD. I DON’T HAVE IT LAH. xD But i’ve always been meaning to. Thanks dear!!
In all, a VERY MEMORABLE 17TH BIRTHDAY THAT I WILL KEEP CLOSE TO MY HEART.
<33333 I love you guys!!!! Thanks so much!!!
