For those who are not familiar with this title, it is about my Birthday Surprises ever since my 21st Birthday.
It was 5 years since the first episode, and 4 years since the second episode. My dearest friends who came together and celebrated my birthday, I really thank them from the bottom of my heart. However, a lot has changed in just a period of 5 years. Time has drifted some of these friends further and further. Some of us were just forced to go separate ways when that phase of life that bind has ended, and there is no reason for us to get along together anymore. Nevertheless, it was really truly a happy moment for me. I always do look back those times when a year falls on 13 May.
The surprise, The laughter, The company...
Ever since, I always expect a get-together session where friends meet up together to have a simple meal and endless chat.
But in 2014, another surprise was installed.
It was just another normal working day, when I was expected to work till at least 7.30pm. I supposed to have a karaoke session with Jiunn Kai and June at 7.30pm. But due to my work culture, I usually can only end work earliest 7.30pm, so I told the others to go ahead and sing without me, thinking that I can always snatch the mic for the rest of the time I have. Fortunately, I was able to end work at 7.15pm and to make it at Orchard at 7.30pm.
Before I left, I told the rest I was able to reach on time, but I only got their acknowledgement, but there was no reply from them to tell me where to meet. I could only stand helplessly in ION Orchard alone and wait for the reply...
I was just randomly looking through Facebook on my phone, and as I looked up to the crowd randomly, I saw 4 familiar faces: Lydia, Luvena, Russell and Song Guan. This is a very weird "combo". The girls claimed to meet the guys coincidentally, and then subsequently me. But they seemed to have a hidden agenda. Because all of us just stood there after that, as if we were supposed to meet up. I wanted to believe that they are meeting someone else for a meal, so I was even more bewildered when Jiunn Kai arrived and we all walked together to buy dinner.
June came in later with a cake, and then Jiunn Kai introduced my friends to her, and that was quite obvious what they were doing. But I still could not believe what had happened. It was obviously a surprise. Well, it was a mild surprise in fact. Haha.
It was June who called Jiunn Kai to make this last minute arrangement, and it was said that Luvena had a more pleasant surprise plan for this. But due to the fact that I arrived on time, I kinda wrecked the whole plan. Hence, it was up to them their acting skills to hold off the surprise until everyone was gathered.
Lesson Learnt: Never up to any meetups early.
The karaoke turned out to be another Jiunn Kai's concert event. Haha. Not a very high one though. Lol.
The cake cutting session with Song Guan "was held" in Hilton Singapore. Well, outside the hotel. Haha.
Thanks for everyone who turned up for the event. Sorry for turning up on time! Next time I will be very late!!!
In the end, the mystery left unsolved was the plan that Luvena originally came up with. She said have to wait till next year. I shall wait patiently then! Thanks in advance!!
