I came out in the early afternoon yesterday to get Yvonne's Birthday Present, it is Wednesday night then I decided what to get for her. Luvena suggested Japanese or Business books when I asked her on Wednesday, the day when I was shopping with Ken in Bugis. I went back to Bugis again since Kinokuniya provides more language books. I hestiated again, which language book should I get for her? Japanese or the one I decided the night before? In the end, I still chose the second option: Cantonese Guide Book. Haha.
After getting that book, I sat down at nearby Starbucks to drink a cup of Mocha Frappe and also to peel off the price tag on the book. When I'm done, it was only 3.20pm. Alvin texted me and asked the meeting time, and he suggested to buy her a cake to surprise her. Well, frankly speaking, I have never thought of getting a cake, maybe is because we never had birthday cakes when I celebrate with my other friends. We are used to not having cakes. Anyway, since Alvin suggested it, why not go for it?
Yvonne said to meet 6.30pm for dinner before the 7pm K Box session. So I told the others to meet at 6pm to get the cake and hid it with KBox staff. I left Bugis at 3.30pm and dropped off at Tampines since I have a lot of time to waste. I tried to walk to Pasir Ris via The Connector. I think it took me around 30-40 minutes to reach White Sands. When I was near White Sands, I texted the others to meet earlier at 5.30pm to have more time to prepare. It was quite last minute for them to prepare, since it was 4.45pm when I SMSed them. I can make a stroll around first to see what cakes are available, so that we can further reduce the time to choose the cakes and make our way to EHub.
However, as soon as I stepped into the mall, Yvonne SMSed to change the meeting time to 6pm! I did not reply her first. Luvena said that can only make it at 6.30pm intentionally, and she called me and wanted me to stop Alvin from agreeing with Yvonne to meet earlier. It was too late. Alvin agreed. So when Yvonne called me again to confirm with me, I made another plan at that instant. I also followed her decision. This plan became: Alvin will meet Yvonne at 6pm, and I will SMS her that I will be late, while Luvena will appear at 6.30pm accordingly. This arrangement was made so that Luvena and I can meet to get her cake.
The plan changed again when we got the cake. We did not buy a big cake, and the size of the cake is small enough to stuff into Luvena's bag. When the both of us reached Downtown East, it was only 5.46pm. By that time, Yvonne called again and said that she also had reached the meeting point. So Luvena went ahead to meet her first, while I waited for Alvin and we would then meet the girls. Despite my reminder, Alvin still forgot to take the Company Entrance Pass that we have previously worked in, he had to turn back and get it. In the end, the 3 of us went on to have our dinner first.
When I met the girls, Luvena told me something that surprised me instead! Alvin was also surprised when I told him that. It is something that will no longer surprise Yvonne. Guess What? The KBox session that we were going is actually a Birthday Package which comes with a free Birthday Cake!!! Then, the 3 of us suddenly became actors and actress, as we have to communicate with each other without Yvonne noticing that we are discussing how to deal with the cakes hidden in Luvena's bag. We still brought out after our dinner and let Yvonne blew the candles.
The KBox session was rather a HIGH one, but not for the Birthday Girl, but me?! I sang a lot of High Songs and it turned out I became the High One. I should say it was a pleasant night.
