150809.
From thinking of a plan, to actual planning. To researching, to execution of the plan. From a flop bday gift (the bracelet) to the successful one (the scrapbook), it's finally over.
I could say that over 1 month of planning have not been wasted.
The day couldn't be achieved if not for the help, coordination and cooperation of so many people. I sincerely from the bottom of my heart, THANK ALL OF YOU WHO WERE PRESENT TODAY. (:
(People mentioned not in order.)
To Huey Shyan: Thanks for helping me plan, find a suitable place for us to go for dinner after all the intensive water bombing, and help to make the water bombs in the 1st place!
I'm terribly sorry for forgetting to let you sign at the end of the page because when I always meet you I didn't bring the book. I wanted to let you sign today but maybe today was too hectic and I forgot. =X
Thanks so much for volunteering to order the cake in school, paying it first and to carry the heavy cake from Ngee Ann Poly all the way back to Chai Chee, and then to Peier's place. Not to mention the discounts you've gotten for the cake.
Thanks for making time to come down today, even when your exam period is near (:
Thanks for the wonderful suggestions, comparison and making the effort to make this day a better one. MANY MANY THANKS ! :D
To Peier: Thanks for discussing with me and Amanda about where we should go after the 'amazing race', and to volunteer your place for storage of cakes and so on. Thanks for taking out time of your busy schedule to gather with us.
Thanks for not hesitating to stuff me 80 bucks when I was worrying about not having enough money! Ironically, I borrowed money (still owe you 100 bucks for the same reason: Joanna's bday) from you. I'm just accumulating the numbers now. =X
Although 150809 might be the last day you're hanging out with us until O's ends, but don't worry! Plenty of chances next time! Next time wouldn't be too far if you don't think about it.
I hoped you had fun today!
To Amanda: Thanks for helping me out with the photo scrapbook, by filling it with your nice handwriting, and suggestions of which photo should come first and how I should arrange the photos. Thanks for volunteering the time and effort (:
Many thanks for becoming my first and forth station master (and becoming huiting's mom in the process!) and helping me out in so many stuffs in the planning!
Thanks for not complaining about anything through out the day and I'm really sorry that you had to starve everyday just to save money for today ! ):
Nevertheless, I still hope that you had fun today, then everything is worth it (:
To Hui Ting (and Simone): Many thanks for going all the way from Bedok (or is it Tanah Merah?) to Boon Lay just because The Icing Room is located at Jurong Point. Thanks for making the cake real nice and colourful (although Joanna said that it was ugly), I loved it alot. (:
Thanks for coming down today when your exam period is near too (I think everyone's having exams soon) and becoming my second station master, and also video recording Joanna doing the mission.
Many thanks for trying to make today a better one (:
To Queenie: Thanks for becoming my 3rd station master, and making an effort to come down today. As well as to help us finish the cake when all of us couldn't.
Thanks for helping to write in the photo scrapbook as well. (:
To Aili: Thanks for coming down today even though you overslept and didn't talk much throughout the day. Hope you had fun. (:
To Shumei: Thanks for coming down even though I didn't see you personally. A pity you wasn't able to join us for dinner though. (:
And of course, to all the rest who wrote at the last page of the scrapbook! It helped fill up the empty page. Thanks to those who bothered to read my mass email regarding today's event, and even more thanks to those who even bothered to make a reply. (:
Last but not least, thanks to the birthday girl who made time for us and help execute the plan. (although you were one hour late) Without you, the plan couldn't go on. I hoped you had fun. ^^
15 August 2009, Saturday.
Meet Peier, Hui Ting, Amanda and Queenie at Bedok interchange. Passed The Icing Room cake to Peier and she went off first. Crapped around with the rest cause Joanna said she needed more time.
All went off to their respective stations with the clues and missions and I went to find Joanna. Omg she's wearing the same shirt she wore on her birthday last year.
'Amazing race'... Did all missions, had photos, had videos (with Huiting) and also had fun.
Completed all missions and proceed to the place where the birthday cake lies... And the cute eye mask to blind fold her. And she was damn scared that she'll trip. Now I know that she definitely cannot go blind if not she'll be a goner.
And to the birthday cake, Mango Tropicana! Too sweet for my liking. And it was kinda big, lucky Shyan asked me to buy a smaller one. Pure wastage of money. As usual, cream smearing session!
And followed by the water bombs, no pics cause everyone was playing (except Aili) and I think no one remembered to take any pics!
Was way way behind schedule and Shyan was rushing us over phone. Was rushing Amanda and Joanna in Mac's toilet like a mother hen. Cabbed down to National Library. All of us panicked when we saw ERP. Wah, Everyday Rob People.
Reached The Minds Cafe shortly after. Their Cheesey Fish and Chips is the love! Cheesey to the max! Started our gaming with Janga. Amanda had to spin around the room like a ballerina for 30secs! (Not uploading video, if not she'll kill me), and a few more.
Got bored with it and moved on to another game called the Ugly Dolls. Damn exciting, everyone was shouting! (:
The person there serving us is super friendly, and suggested Joanna to do number 11 on their list of forfit board. Number 11 is to sing happy birthday to herself, and to go to another table and tell them it's her birthday today, and she'll get a free special drink that is not on the menu!
So she sang birthday song to herself (video with peier), and went to a table with angmoh and told the 2 person that it was a birthday today. (video with peier too) Damn hilarious.
So, her special drink.
The colour contrast is damn nice. Looked delicious enough to be edible (drinkable). Dark orange at the most bottom, yellow right on top of it, plain white next, ice cubes, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sounds good? The dark orange is actually carrot juice and apparently the yellow and white layer is soft drinks. I would probably like the drink if I wasn't so full at that time.
And we played this 'No Laughing, Fine $5000' game.
Saw this joke inside.
"3 tadpoles went into a restaurant, and saw people at the other table eating frog porridge, after that, they started singing. What did they sing?"
Answer: 我不想 我不想 不想长大... (I don't want, I don't want to grow up...) 不想长大 by SHE
LMAO PLS! I was like laughing damn loud when I saw this. LOL. And the rest had to be fined cause they laughed too. (:
Last game was Taboo. Still liked this game best. (: Damn fun, but the time short. After that they went to toilet, shun bian take out the Icing Room cake for Joanna.
And was presents time! The look on Joanna's face is priceless when she saw and looked through the photo scrapbook. (:
A group photo, and we were back home. ^^
