The Surprises

WARNING!!LONG ENTRY!get a coffee or snacks before scrolling down XD

Is birthday the day you are longing for ever since you were a little girl?
I define birthday as the cake-day,just like duan1 wu3 jie2 we eat bak zhang,dong1 zhi4 we eat Tang Yuen,the only thing I'm looking forward is the cake!well,I dont really like those ceremonies where your family/friends have to sing birthday song(multiple languages =.='),lit up the candles(although I do like to blow them),make a wish in front of everyone having them to wait for you.Simply b'cuz I dont know what to do when the song is sung by friends,option 1: clap hands(make the tempo) and sing together with them,Option2:smile and look at them when they are singing,Option 3:look down until the song finished.Either way is making you awkward,dont you think so???

Yeah I know 21st-birthday is something special(b'cuz everyone says so -_-),but I didnt expect much.My family isnt around,they are the one who made my day for the past 20 years.I dont qi1 dai4 much for the presents as I WILL BUY it if I need anything(MJ KNOWS how generous am I when I'm spending my money XD).Out of expectation,I had the most Most MOST memorable 21st-birthday in my life,although I'm far from family,and my dearest/closest ever buddies.

One/two days before JS started to ignore me,he told me he fell sick after the trip to Peak District(which is a HALF-correct-statement),he needed rest,he needed to revise as he used up too much time on sleeping...Blah blah blah,so that I dont msn him wth.
On 23rd night(about 11pm),I couldnt tahan,I was too bored without having anyone to kacau and I wanted to sleep earlier after revising for the whole night,I send him a message on msn.

He did reply,''hey...'' I smelled fish,this was not the usual way he replies my msg.After that I went on bombarding him with lots of msges,no reply after a long wait.FISHY..

I was a bit frustrated waiting for his reply and went back to my bed to continue my revision.-Lonely- that was what I felt at that moment.Then,received Mj's text.
I couldnt describe how warm it was to receive a lovely birthday wish from her,especially at that time.''When is Sam leaving ahh?If not I can go to your place tmr night...'' FISHY FISHY FISHY!

About 10 to 12am,I received a call from JS,asked me look at the window behind me(I'm staying at ground floor).I was shocked,there he was,standing outside holding sth,showing me sth.......and I had my 1st birthday cake..

First surprise..

''Tomorrow is mine'' *grinning*,I didnt ask him much after that..

______________________________________________________________________

Morning,bz with my laptop,he helped me reformat it and I had no idea what's his plan for the day,I was told to get myself ready by 12pm -that's aLL-

This was the place I was ''led blindly'' to. Fine dining..

He made a reservation at 1pm,waitress led us to our seat and passed the menu to us.I looked around,really classy,till I dare not simply move around,afraid that I would do something wrong like drop something on the floor and everyone would stare at you.

The menu..I didnt understand 90% what's on the list.

Ok lar,at last he ordered all.These:

And dessert..

Atmosphere in the restaurant was really good,just that it makes you a bit stiff.Once stepping out of the door,I felt like I can resume my normal volume of my voice.

This was the second surprise.

_____________________________________________________________________

We reached home quite late,about 4pm and he told me we have to go out for dinner at around 6.30pm.Took a bus out and reached Strand at 7.30pm.

Once we get off the bus,we ''crawled' around at super slow speed,looking for the sign board.I tried to make him tell me where's the restaurant but to no avail.LIKE MJ =.=''

THEN,MET MY FRIENDS walking towards us shouting:''THERE!!!(pointing to our left).

SHOCKED

WHY MY FRIENDS WERE THERE and they werent surprised to see me!?

I turned my head to him--*grinning*

There were few more friends waiting inside the restaurant *touched*

Japanese food-buffet.Imagine that,this portion times TWO.
This times TWO.Seriously this is not the way to eat sushi lorr..

Cream and Cookies Cake.

Third surprise...

On the way back,I forced him to say everything out and only knew that,EHEM,MJ THOU,YOU ARE ONE OF THEM who planned this.He bought ticket down to London 2months ago,get the present few months ago,get my other friend involved in the secret dinner after Amsterdam trip..He told me there will be another surprise coming up,and that should be the greatest.I TELL YOU,I was totally drained of energy to think what's next zzz

Went back,online,chatted with MJ to confirm next day's lunch's venue and time. *now I know why MJ persisted to meet up on Sunday instead of Monday..There was indeed,the climax laying under the pages awaiting for the next day to reveil its truth(wth what am I talking about XD)

As usual,met up with MJ and chatted for more than 2hours without realizing it.I was warned not to open the present till I get home.How obedient am I,I used about 1hour to reach home with the tempting present sitting next to me.

Took a bath,then settled everything and sat relaxingly on my bed.

Open the paper bag,took out the orange coloured bag.(I thought it was that kind of hand-made bag MJ get from Honduras,LOL).Ta-daaa,body shop's products,LOVE THEM,seriously.THEN...

Realised that was not the only thing in the bag,an envelope..open...Winnie the Pooh CD...

Jumped off my bed,rushed to the laptop and insert the disc..JS ''seng mok'' enough to get himself busy with his work,leaving me alone indulging the content of the CD.

After watching the photos part(introduction)..my face was already soaked with my tears..Really miss the time in secondary school..ANd I didnt expect there would be videos following up,I thought the whole video was just like photo album.

Yuen Ling,Wu Jia,Sin Huei,Desmond's video...Wanted to give HUGS of appreciation immediately to all of you..THEN,the most shocking part..my family was inside too..I didnt know HOW BOTH OF YOU,MJ AND SIN HUEI get my family on video,shocking shocking SHOCKING,they are camera shy all this while even to take a family photo..

By the time finish watching the video,my room was banjir ==''

At first was this

Then...

cried hysterically..no kidding..i have saksi -_-

for more than 10minutes if not more.Then I only told by JS,what's going on and what was your planning.

Girls..ops..ah mahs...you'd touched the bottom-est,innest part of my heart and this will be the best-ever-present I ever received.When I looked back what were going on for the whole one-day-before,on the day and one-day-after 24th,it was like a sweetest dream,that makes me bu she de to wake up.The time you spent in,the obstacles you'd faced while making that video,I appreciate it.After the long,eventful day,I thought: what have I done to deserve you girls in my life?

*wink* A BIG Thank you again!To all of you.
