`yijunn.actually we were very excited on friday already because we were happily decorating bob's present which is a travel journal which we are going to use when we go to gold coast (: (:
and so yesterday we celebrated bob's birthday at the glass house, and as fate would have it, our birthday surprises never go as planned haha, especially when they involve the external element of engaging others to be involved! so smart us thought our plan was foolproof this time- we met up early to practise our singing, sent jolyn and princess to the glass house early to arrange for the balloon and cake to come out, and then jiaks and i walked over with bob. and i mean, about a gazillion people celebrate their birthday there all the time,so it should turn out perfectly flawless right? but NO, it was not meant to be haha.
just as we were happily finishing up our very yummy dinner, jolyn went to tell them that it was THE time to bring in the cake and their gang to do the birthday rap, and as we were waiting anticipatedly for their arrival, we were suddenly interrupted by this waitress who went (with her china accent so we didn't quite catch what she was saying anyway): er, your chocolate mousse cake, bring now?
faints- and the worst thing? she asked bob that! all of us didnt hear anything until we heard the taboo words of C-A-K-E. and froze up in shock (i mean, who would expect such a retarded error from a crew of seasoned birthday celebrators!!) and after ten seconds of shock and silence, i decided to attempt to salvage it by going: er, what cake?
and at that moment, the rest of them thought it was so unconvincing ): that they all burst out laughing. so there was jolyn, jiaks, princess and i in guffaws for a good few minutes, along with a very bewildered bob and an even more bewildered waitress. and all our attempts to the waitress of: we think you've got the wrong table! failed because she didnt quite understand our english -.-and to make it worse, bob suddenly interjected with: OH LOOK there's someone there with a balloon! to which we all pretended not to hear. and so in the end we gave up and told the supid waitress: YES YOU CAN SERVE THE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE NOW -.- haha
but anyhow it was a really funny night! and bob got her birthday rap and CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE anyway. haha.
the cake -.-
the birthday girl (:
yay us!
even more us haha!okay and at this point, we now had to find a place to sing our item for bob, so we decided to proceed to the istana park. and stroll first, so jiakang said: WOW SUCH PRETTY FLOWERS! (they were just heliconias btw) and to which stupid princess who was slow to latch onto our plan went: AIYOH jiakang! you mean you've never seen these flowers before? my garden also have!
and then we were like -.- so eventually on the pretext of looking for more pretty flowers we decided to proceed to the fountain thingum, which was dressed up very patriotically!
the very patriotic fountain and a very pleased-after-being-serenaded bob (:
YIPPEEE 2A2B FOREVERZZZZZZ! (: haha it was as awesome as ever meeting up and having fun, because after our failed birthday surprise, we proceeded to reminisce extremely fondly about each birthday screw-up, and it does seem like there's never been a flawless execution of our plans before haha!
and we went to the starhub at PS to watch whatever was left of the table tennis match before it closed and we went home!
i think one or two fun days a week make me a much happier person(:
i don't like seeing people around me go crazy with stress it's scary :/ its much better to find joy in little occassional things like 2A2B and FISH SPA this week (:
