Purple Mascara v2.: and now i think i'm ready.

I contemplated on what I wanted to do for my birthday for manymany weeks. I didn't want to let it just pass by yet I wasn't really in the mood to plan a party. I decided on a small lunch with the girlfriends but my mummy had a whole other plan.

Surprise No.1;

My daddy had be assigned to work over my birthday weekend so my mum had thought of holding a family dinner on the 8th. I was told that only Uncle Bashir&family were coming. The original plan was for me to go out in the afternoon so they could prepare the place. Those plans got canceled because my friends had other things on, so I just chose to spend the afternoon at home. Mummy didn't seem to pleased (which made me very suspicious). When I asked what was being served for dinner, my mum gave really weird answers like, 'Rice and Pumpkin curry only'. When I told my dad over the phone that we're having guests over for dinner, he replied with a simple 'Oh' in a how-do-you-know tone of voice. Everything was beginning to seem a little suspicious, and that suspicion grew when my sister rearranged my table setting for 8 into a buffet style setting. My mum had sent me home to wait for a lady who was going to drop of things for my dad. I immediately thought it was some form of documents so you could just imagine my puzzled look when I saw the lady unloading pots full of food. This pretty much confirmed my suspicions - my mum had planned a dinner for me and invited family friends. I should have known :)

Surprise No.2;

My mummy is well aware of my love for my cupcakes. So for my birthday, she ordered a box full of cupcakes in pretty little colours - some with M&M toppings, some with marshmallow toppings and some with pretty little hearts&flowers. But with a few more tricks left up in her sleeve, she secretly ordered a cake for me despite me telling her I didn't need one. Unfortunately, I was sent down to pick up the cake from her friend's place and the maid terbuka the box and showed the pretty cake to me. Mum was a little shocked and just said, "SURPRISE!". I couldn't stop laughing throughout the car ride back home. Too bad my mum didn't know I don't eat chocolate cake. Oh well, the others enjoyed it :)

(sort of) Surprise No. 3;

My mum had also secretly invited Nique over for dinner. Too bad Nique isn't very good at the art of sneaking around. She left her shoes right in front of the door so I saw it as I was about to go downstairs. So I nicely took my time to come down and you could hear all the shush-ing from downstairs. I chuckled inside. Haha. Nique tried hiding behind the kitchen counter but she didn't do that very well either as I could see the top of her head over the counter. Silly billy. At least she brought (home made) cupcakes. Thank you hun <3.>

Surprise No. 4;

A little past 12, Nique asked me to follow her upstairs for something. I thought I was going to get my birthday present from her but instead she stood at the door and started yelling for Vid. I thought she lost her mind for a second there. I opened the door and there my friends were, Muzzie holding a cake along with Vid, Mandy, Zai, Aishah and Kim. Vid&Mandy even made the effort to bake me peanut butter chocolate chip cookies which tasted absolutely delish. Ooh, and I totally almost drove Muzzie's car. Too bad my dad was there. Haha.

And the rest of the pictures from the night,

Dragged myself out of bed pretty early because Ming was complaining that we won't spend enough time together. That boyy came to pick me up from my place, not before he told my mum "I'll take her to either somewhere bright or a dark alley". Thanks, you totally helped. Had breakfast somewhere in SS2 after driving around for ages deciding where to eat. Mum told the rest of the family (extended as well) that I went on a date. Great, thanks mum. And Ming, don't flatter yourself :). He dropped me off at OU where I met up for lunch with some of my girlfriends.

Despite a couple of my friends bailing at the last minute, I enjoyed our small group of little girly chit chat and giggles.

Left OU in a rush to get ready for MCR later that night with Aishah, Nique and last minute Belle. Saw about a zillion people & about a trillion good looking people (read : guys) we didn't know. Managed to get in front of our 163 line, and goodness all the sweaty bodies squished together, the fat moody man next to me and the ass groping was totally worth it. At least one of the guys was kind enough to give up his front place to let four short (compared to him) girls move in front of him.

One word - Awesome.
