this year my birthday falls right in the middle of midterm exams and interviews.. how perfect timing! i had fin 2 exam yesterday which was so bad.. then i had to prepare for ops today - hadn't studied for it at all until one day before exam. so i planned to dedicate the whole thursday afternoon (and night) for ops.. didn't know that my plan would cause trouble for my lovely friends who were planning me a birthday surprise..hehe. i wanted to stay at school after my rehearsal, so i told p'nut that i'd be going home late.. i headed to the qsr after practice, and while i was going in i heard some thai talking in the back so i turned and saw p'mai coming out of the small study room nearby.. i asked whom he was talking with, but got accused of being "hoo-fard" hmm.. anyways, i let that go.. and then another weird thing - p'mai said dump your things and come out to "mouth" outside.. what could be such a 'hot' issue to talk about now?!?! and so i went out, and he led to that same study room (which was totally dark inside), and then the door opened and there it was, everyone shouting "surprise!" and a birthday cake right in front of me :) so so unexpected!! it was the best surprise really.. i later heard about all the moments that the secret almost got revealed b/c of me haha.. like when tempy came to get the car and i happened to be home, so i just asked a very normal question about where he was going (he was gonna get the cake then), and our brilliant consultant just simply came up with "going to the bank" excuse and he got away just like that hehe.. and when i wanted to stay at school too.. of all the days, i just have to pick today.. initially they planned to have this surprise at home.. and i just messed it all up for everyone.. :P sorry guys! thanks for going thru all the trouble na.. at least i got a very cute 'blackboard bday card' that u can't give at home ieie..
