It's 21 and the second day of it. Feels awesome, simply because there are new people smiling at my face and saying "Happy Birthday!" in an all so excited fashion and receiving cutely wrapped gifts for two days in a row.
BlackRabbit tipped me off about the supposed MunchieMonkey 'surprise' I was gonna get on 12 Aug, so when time was up I waltzed into that place and pretended to be so surprised at seeing Gambits' faces all properly seated. But not everything was a pretense because I was indeed genuinely, deeply touched okay! So we sang song, we cut cake, we ate stuffs, and we did what we all do best - sit there and talk til the cows come home.
Then came the day when I got real surprises - those I totally did not see them coming. The Conans got a cake too, but we were running late for lecture so we sang song, we blew candles, and we rushed to the LT. That's the end.
JOKING!
We found ourselves a secluded place after the lecture for the cake-cutting ceremony. And we sang song, we cut cake, we ate cake, and everybody said goodbye and left for their next agendas. As for us the Looneys, we prepared ourselves for the hotpot buffet that was set to happen at 6pm later.
For us, dinner set at 6pm usually means it's not gonna happen until 630, with Suzzy being the last to arrive definitely. So our table of seven had a great time making terrorizing orders to the waitresses and maximized our 15% service charges. We talked, we ate, and we groaned about the prospect of dying from overstuffing.
Then suddenly out came a song from the speakers which threw me off guard, and suddenly people around me started singing Birthday Song! I totally did not see it coming at all! And so in the end we sang, we cut cake, we tried to stuff ourselves with that piece of heavenly tiramisu. It was heavenly, but a little too agonizing for most of us to finish our portions after steamboat buffet. Come to think of it, that must be our negative karma for terrorizing the waitresses.
Camwhore at roof terrace! But the story is best told with pictures, which will only be up when their camera owners decide to not procrastinate! Keep a close watch on FaceBook!
All in all, my 21st has been a blast. Many faces, many greetings, handful of presents, and most importantly, a great deal to take with me down the walk through memory lane. 12 August 2009 is definitely something to remember, and I sincerely thank each and everyone of you for playing a part in it.
I thank you.
