A series of celebrations
Life among friends is pretty cool. Thought i'll keep a record of the birthdays we've celebrated in the past few months. You know. Just in case. For reference purposes.
- Subject to accuracy of Memory. In no particular order.-
1) EV's birthday. It was a nice surprise, with a record number of celebratees. Everyone had gathered near the divider cum balcony area near her room. I came out with a lame excuse and dragged her out of her room. The moment we passed by the "area", everyone started singing "Happy Birthday" and from the gang, emerged the victim's cake.
2) LCJ's birthday. It was a teensy celebration. Plain and simple. An act of sincere desperation. Muffins and candles. What a unique combo. It's the thought that counts.
3) RC's birthday. Everyone hid in her room with water and flour on standby. Dunno how they got the key but they did! And right on time, she, back from an outing, appeared at her door. Before she knew it, she was doused in flour and water, with yells of "Happy Birthday!" and also a special birthday present which is (or more like who is) so-so dressed up as a killer babe! Hoot hoot!
4) HCC's birthday. We snuck to his room. Like trained troops, we flagged and communicated with each other via hand signals and also SMS. Alpha team's position was under his window. Beta team's position was the corridor. He was talking non-stop on the phone. 10 minutes later, he was still talking non-stop. It had to be fire at will in the end. Alpha team sprang up and started hollering the birthday song. HCC was caught off-guard with a horrified cum surprised expression. Simultaneously, Beta team moved in on target with cake. Bull's eye.
5) WP's birthday. Wicked. Tactic re-used. His activities were monitored through out the night for the right moment. CX's snuck into his room and hid under the bed when he went off for a shower. The others hid beneath the window. WP got back and was standing in front of the mirror when everyone jumped up and started singing the birthday song. His expression and reaction was priceless. In fact, he jumped when he saw CX under his bed. We also managed to persuade him to have one leg shaved as a coming-of-age ritual.
6) Tech and cameras were needed for Anh and Em's birthdays. For Anh's birthday, a special presentation of sorts were made complete with pictures and music. There was a small party and Anh got wet and cakey. hehehe..We recorded a music video, starring the one and only Britney Teh, for Em's birthday. She was lured into a room and was given the surprise holler.
7) For ZY's birthday it was very simple. We got him 2 books as present and we celebrated by eating out at Cafe Cartel's in Plaza Singapura. No surprises for this fella.
8) Dom's birthday. It was an elaborate thing to pull. He was told that we were celebrating RS's birthday and had asked him to meet up at the kitchen. Everyone pretended to not know that it was his birthday. The moment the "birthday boy" walked in, everyone started singing the birthday song, not to RS but to Dom! Hehehe surprise, surprise.
Haha the last one, which is the 1st birthday we celebrated since starting uni was mine. I was lured by EV to her room. And the mo i stepped in everyone yelled "Surprise!" hahah. Nice. It was a small one because our circle of friends were still rather limited.
Well well ..more to come..;)
