My birthday surprise
Monday, June 28, 2010 @ 1:51 AM

It's good that I still have readers. Though it gets lesser when I have decided not to badmouth too much about others, I am really curious of how my readers know whether I have updated my blog.

Everytime my blog is updated, the readers on that day will be higher than the day I did not blog. Problem is how my readers know whether I just updated? I felt so naked in front of my computer. Like as if they can see what emotions I am giving to my computer, what words I am typing.



Alright by the way, I want to talk about my birthday party.

Maybe I am kinda idiotic to be saying this, but to those people who are not aware that my birthday is already celebrated, kindly finish reading this line.
10th July BBQ will NOT be carry out because my friends did a surprise birthday chalet for me and it has been celebrated. I am sorry for such sudden birthday.



Mr Lee and my friends planned this birthday for me. Shu Ting is the main organiser. I am sorry that I actually knew this party is held for me and I knew 80% of your words are white lies.



Shu Ting told me to go for her friend's birthday party with her because she does not have a companion. I promised her that I will go with her. She asked me to dress up nicely because the birthday girl is someone fashionable and all the people going are going to wear like as if they go for fashion parade.
Suspect why will people dress up for chalet.



Next - She asked me who I am going to invite to the Birthday party and forced me to write down in a list.
At that point I already begin to suspect.
She also asked me what food I wish to have for my BBQ. After I wrote that whole list, she kept the paper. I realised the list was not with me until I reach home, and the suspicious percentage rises.



Then many people started to ask me weird things. My birthday party that I set is on 10 July. My surprise birthday party that my friends set is on 26 June.
"WHEN IS YOUR BIRTHDAY?"
"WHY DID YOU SET IT ON THURSDAY? GOT SCHOOL LEH!"
"WHERE IS YOUR CHALET HELD?"

They got mixed up by the date. They mixed my birthday's DAY with my friends' planned party's MONTH.
10 JUNE = THURSDAY

At that point of time, I suspect again.




There was this time when Shu Ting called me to look for Mr Lee to ask for his credit card number etc. WHATEVER IS THAT FOR? She can ask her friends to pay for her by their cards first, but why she ask Mr Lee?
Suspect.


Then my friend tweeted about "Birthday surprise is coming soon."
I was wondering who is it.
And I suspect.


I went to my friend's house to help her with her blogshop. I saw her calender on the wall, "Mui's birthday" on 26th June. I had the urge to ask about the birthday. But when I know it's a surprise that was planned so long, I should not break it and make the organiser feel upset.


My friends hinted me about a birthday surprise numerous times.


Shu Ting also asked alot about my birthday attire. She asked me to bring so much things to the chalet when I told her I won't want to stay overnight because it's her friend's birthday party.

I am sorry. I was really happy when I knew I have such great friends and such good boyfriend to plan my birthday. But how, how do I act? I dread telling lies. I don't know how to hold back my bad mood. Yes, I will have mood swing if something is bothering me.


Then on 25th, Shu Ting told me when there's only two of us in the chalet house, that she planned this for me and in the end all the people that I want to invite could not come and all of them preferred to go for the birthday BBQ on 10th July, she told me she is pissed because the money is already spent on BBQ and chalet yet no one is turning up, only our clique - 7 girls. I was thinking, "You still want to continue to lie?"


Mr Lee is coming on 26th, he went to have his hair done so that he will look good. Whatever is that for when there's only 7 girls whom he has met before?


I admit that I was feeling stormed when Shu Ting said none of my friends wish to turn up. What have I done? Why no one wish to come to wish me a happy birthday?
Yet on the other hand, I knew this is a white lie. I kept thinking of the calender I saw at my friend's house, thinking of the hints that my friends blurted out.



I am sorry I pretended that I believe your words.



The next day, Shu Ting kept pushing me to do all the makeup and dress up nicely - for the sake of taking photos. Why will I believe it's really for phototaking?



I was really moody. I was not really speaking. Because I dread lying, I dread pretending. Especially when it's lying to my friends, unhappy to the maximum. So what can I do? I tried to force my friends to blurt out themselves so that I can be more happy and easy to face them. But they sealed their mouth so tightly that I really can hear all kinds of explanation from them for why the house must be decorated with balloons and banners when there's only 7 of us with a few of their boyfriends?



Until I saw my first friend who is not supposed to be there, came with my present in her hand. I looked at Shu Ting and really hoping truth to come. Nope, this surprise is like a gem to her, she wanna keep it so that it will really be surprising for me.



Next - my uncle appeared. This time what else can Shu Ting say to cover? Finally she gave me that smile telling me that it's my birthday surprise. Only then I start to feel a little easy.


More and more came. Smile bigger and bigger, phew, I don't have to put up a show anymore.


I feared about something when I knew everything is as what I expect. My mother. I ever said I wish my parents to wear a gold key pendent necklace for me on my 21st year old birthday, so if everything is just as expected, is my mother coming later?


But when more friends came, I was too busy entertaining them until that I forgot about what I was stressing about.


Late night, Mr Lee started barbequeing for us when many of my friends left. He went to put his parking coupon when the food is halfway cooked. I did not suspect much.
When he is back, he told me to say the 3 words that I want to say. What 3 words? I turned and I saw my mother. She was behaving normally, as if nothing is going on between us.

Then she passed me a red packet. I don't know what to do with her. Mr Lee forced us upstairs leaving the two of us, I told my mother that Mr Lee wants me to say sorry. Then she just walked away and said no need, there's no overnight feud between mother and child.

There after the storm, there is still torns in our hearts.

7 girls and 2 boyfriends stayed over and we squeezed on 4 tiny beds.
It's tiring and happy.


I realised we girls can just gather at anywhere to talk and we are very happy already. As long as there's food and drinks with us. HAHA.

Shu Ting ah~ Paiseh ah~ Make you so tired. If your mother knows you resigned earlier because of my birthday, she sure use broom to chase me out of your house everytime she sees me. haha! I am sorry I lied with you. But we no shy no shame one right?! =D XOXOXO
