yes, the dearest Shida finally turns 21 today but we gave her an advance birthday surprise just last Wednesday. apparently, the girls contacted me to join them for the surprise. i guess they would want to do it today, on Shida's birthday itself. but being the considerate girls they are, they know i have a class on Friday, and that i'm free on Wednesday; hence the decision to surprise Shida on Wednesday. ha (i sound long-winded, aye? -_-"). it was really very last minute considering that they only told me of the news on Tuesday. which means i have only 1.5 days to look for a soccer-themed birthday cake (Has's idea)(and Shida plays soccer hence the soccer theme). it's a good thing i found the perfect one around CCK interchange, and it's like so cute la like kiddy-kiddy kind. but it's a made-to-rder kinda thing. even the aunty at the shop was suprised that the cake is for a girl, not a boy. lol.
i was supposed to collect the cake at 10am coz the girls wanted to celebrate between 12pm and 2pm. but i was such a lazy doofus i only woke up around 11plus, thanks to Pe'ah for texting me. i started to panic, called her up and phew, luckily they'd decided to delay the celebration by a few hours coz apparently, Shida hadn't reach school yet (we celebrated at TP since they all still have classes in the evening). we re-scheduled the time to around 2pm, so i rushed to collect the cake, boarded the train, got a call from Fatin/Pe'ah to alight at Eunos since i could hitch a ride with them and Jamal who has a car, but i ditched the idea and passed them the cake instead while i go the traditional way of taking bus 23 frm Tamp to TP. huhu. so yes, met up with all the girls in school, missed them shitload, and Has looked so cute in her baju kurung, hehe.
but let's sidetrack a bit: my condolences to Has for the departure of her grandmother on Wednesday. yes, the day we celebrated Shida's 21st. despite all the sadness, she's strong enough to carry on her day normally for us and for her class presentation. (:
moving on, Shida was obviously already in school by then. we found a spot and immediately called her up to join us. and as usual, as soon as she reached all of us screamed "surprise" and yada yada yada, haha. i shall stop here now, let the pictures take over.
[+]Happy 21st Stitch!
