| Continuing off from where i left off.... So, i was heading from college to esther's place and we had cheese baked rice at e hongkie restaurant in mind...or so i thought. She called me to ask if i was done w my project, paused a lil', den asked if it was ok for me to head up to her place first coz she wasn't too ready yet. I thought nothing of it and agreed. The last turn before her carpark, it suddenly hit me that she might have a surprise party in store for me. Cunning, i thought. But i'm no spring chicken myself. Contemplated giving her a text to say 'no monkey business, i noe wad u have in mind!!'...then i thought against it...wad if there was nothing planned? no, shan't be so thick-skinned, 'sides, would wreck her plans if i din act surprised...more importantly, wad if she hadn't planned anything at all...me suggesting i expect something mite really hurt her bad, esp. since i kept telling her i din want a party....so, anyways, i decided i'll play along and act all surprised when i head up... Walked up to her apartment...silence...the guys are normally so loud, u can't count on them to keep mum if their lifes depended on it! haha k, i'm exaggerating. but it was really too awfully quiet...no shoes outside either...then, esther opens e door all casually geared and welcoming me in...hmm...no surprise...oh well...So, back to cheese-baked rice. She was getting a couple of things ready...followed her into her room, then went to kitchen to wash my hands...grace's lights were on. sleeping, according to esther. c'est la vie...today's not my bday anyway...maybe e surprise is tmrw...even tho i did tell esther i jus wanted to spend time w her on my bday, no big hoo-ha wadsoever...but, wadeva =) She had to pass sarinder back some books. he was eating at aunty joy's so we decided we'd drop by before heading to e-gate. nope, no sarinda...apparently he was done and heading out w cheong...so off we went to look for cheong's car...walk walk den all of a sudden, i saw a nice spread of food beside the pool...'nice party someone's..' i thought to myself..and before i could finish my thoughts...'SUR-PRIISSSSe!!!!!' A whole bunch of pple jumped out from behind the bushes. My dear friends, thanks so much for taking time out, putting in so much effort to make my surprise dinner such a memorable event indeed. Really am very touched. Was teasing ws all afternoon thinking he had some girl issues, when he was running around trying to get charcoal for bbq that nite. Alan and dinesh not inviting me for lunch too...i thought they were being a lil' unfrenly....things they were doing for me. thanks, guys! Hari, distracting me all afternoon with project work when he was just out to keep me occupied...con-jobs, everyone...so many others in class. i dun wanna end up just listing. but i rmbr each of u by name and i sincerely appreciate having u all in my life. thank you =) The biggest con-artist of all tho, ESTHER LIM!! Had me conned twice over...thinkin there was surprise, then thinking there was no surprise and den being surprised when i gave up thinking! Officially the first PMC student to have a poolside party in sri york i was told. =) The most amazing thing?She was stuck w me so much of the time, it's amazing she managed to pull anything off at all...must have been so stressful for her to think of smth to surrpise me with. All that she must have gone thru...Thank you, darling.
