on thurs, celebrated michelle's birthday. she is 2-0!!!! haha~ :P anyway, so a week plus of planning finally ended. haha~ this is what happened:

after sch on thurs, rushed down to taka to collect her ORANGE EXOTIC cake from i cant remb the name. argh. haha~ one of those cake shops in the basement. anyway, yah then after collecting the cake, rushed back to school to meet yick siew.

now, i scrapped myself on the curb while running to catch the bus to town, was bleeding. siew skipped her lecture just to help for her birthday preparations. mich really owe us neh? haha~ anyway, so i met siew at pgp at 4plus, went to the pantry to put the cake in the fridge, then went to her room to slack while she packed her kendo stuff. kinda funny, i was reminding her every few minutes to remember to take the cake and the bag with the knife, candles and plates n forks when she came back later. i think i traumatised her. haha~ yah so at abt 4.40, left for src.

reached there, ate sth, chat, watched kendokas streaming in while i briefed her on what to do later (cos she kept asking, she more nervous than me! haha) then as usual, funny stuff happened. wenhao did a funny mich bimbo impersonation and another bimbo pose frm some movie. yah watched kendo videos(wad else?!) then it was training!!! did more endurance, though signigicantly lesser than on monday. this time jesse gave sets of 50 instead of dax's sets of 100. haha~ so it came up to abt 400 suburis? i think? haha~ miraculously, my left hand stopped aching after that. a-ha! and so, ladies and gentlemen, i hereby declare that the best way to cure aching arm muscles is by doing more suburis!!!! hehe~ then men cuts, sayu(sp) men cuts, small men cuts and kote men n tsukis later, training ended.

n so the flurry of activities began. i shooed siew to change and jeremy as well, while mun wei n i helped siew to pack her bogu n shinai, while telling mich that siew had to rush-off for project. ahem. yah. anyway, she accepted the reasoning, haha!, and so jeremy n siew sneaked off. jeremy to chauffer siew to her room to take the cake! (n yes, siew did forget to take something while they were abt to go off, despite my repeated remindings).

so me n mun wei went to meet siew at the 96 bus stop opposite yih once jeremy dropped her off, while guo wei, wenhao n derrick self-appointed themselves as decoys and went to the other bus stop(which, in my opinion, was cos they were plain lazy to climb up steps w us). but alas! 2 96s later, and we were horribly late, pissed, worried and wanting to kill the next bus driver who came with an filled bus. our threat must have worked, or perhaps it was our killing energy(translated from chinese), the next bus that came was not full. so we board, and off we went!

reached there, siew hid at some corner to prepare the cake while i dumped off my stuff, bought a lighter(god ppl think im a smoker now... ARGH!!!), and well proceeded to attempt to light the candles, fans and all. and so our frenzied lighting and muttered curses amounted to still-unlighted candles thanks to the fans and burnt fingers. in the end, during that few seconds the fan was blowing the other way, jesse lighted the candles and made michelle quickly make a wish and blow them off. and so she is 20!!! haha~ she was surprised and touched. yay!!! and she liked the cake. hah~ so difficult to choose cake for her sia... cos she dun like chocolaty and sweet cakes, and we ruled out creamy ones too cos i cant remb if she likes cream. yah. so orange cake wasnt so bad after all!!! haha~

and so that ends the celebration and planning. thanks to siew, jeremy, munwei(for her advice on cake), jesse(for helping w planning n entertaining whilst waiting for us to arrive w the cake), suyu(for reasons i shall not yet divulge *winks at suyu*, n all those who came!!!! haha~ :P oh n sarah too... for erm helping to distract her? haha~

ok, i need to go for aes campfire now, n it's gonna rain!!! NO!!!!!!
