his birthday came and gone... wasn't a huge affair... i didn't do as much as i should or want to... 'coz i envisioned a bf's birthday to be much more exciting... but oh well... i think great things... but half the time i cant make them work... nevertheless... hope he had a happy day... actually when i knew he was meeting his buddies on friday night... i was thinking of hiding somewhere in his house... with a cake and present in tow... it freaked me out thinking how i would need to explain my ambitious plans to his parents... in mandarin, no less... but fate has it that he was planning to bring the friends home... to hang out... my plan practically hung... regardless... i still went to Borders to get him the first 5 Harry Potters... and a Neil Gaiman that looked interesting... 3 for 2 offer... no qualms about posting that fact here... 'coz he knows... trudged around... looking for a Tiramisu which hasnt been cut up into many pieces... knew Breadtalk has them... but the outlet at Wisma only had a big one... didnt want big ones... not many people at home... bought Polar chicken pies for my dinner... took a train to Novena... found a smaller Tiramisu at the Breadtalk at Novena Square... bought it... walked from Novena to his place... while eating my dinner... with six books and a birthday cake, no less! lucky when i got to his place... his parents wasn't in... so just explained myself to his domestic help... dashed into his room... put the books in chronological order... wrote a little Happy Birthday note... with his printing paper... knocked my head when i was coming out from under the table... where the paper was... changed the photo in his photo frame with pictures i just developed that afternoon... told Judy i was leaving... then made my way back to school... guy called when he got back around 11... he was surprised... but i dont know whether he likes the gift... though i know he enjoyed Potter... he didn't know about the cake... so i called him again at midnight... to wish him a Happy Birthday... and directed him to the fridge... met him in the afternoon today... his actual birthday... we planned to watch Sympathy for Lady Vengence... to complete our Chan Woon Park trilogy... we totally enjoyed Sympathy for Mr Vengence and Oldboy... so i really wanted to watch this before the crazy mugging starts... went to Tiong Bahru Plaza... but they werent showing it there... had lunch... before making our way to Cineleisure... got there... only to realise we missed the only screening before 7... took a bus down to Plaza Singapura... finally... it was a good movie... though he liked Oldboy too much to like Lady Vengence better... but i thought the incorporation of humour was interesting... and the idea of vengence was aptly explored... this trilogy SHOULD and MUST be studied by film students, no doubt... Chan is a genius... took a bus to Millenia Walk... walked around abit... bought Starburst gummies from Candy Empire... which has loads of candies you dont often see in sg... walked along and found a Godiva outlet... he offered to buy me $20 worth of chocs... and i told him it'll only get me a nice box and one piece of truffle... ate at Outback Steakhouse as he requested... food was okay... didnt try the Alice Springs Chicken though... really wanted the fresh veggies that came with the Chicken on the Barbie... guy got the Chicken Tenders... and we had bottomless Iced Lemon Teas... which we tried to make full use of by ordering a Bushman Shrooms AFTER the main... the mains were kinda small... so i found Billy Bombers more value-for-money.. the mushrooms were cool... but appetizers are really not for two... we got so full... and sick of mushrooms... we had to hide the last two in the sauce... he picked up the bill... feeling bad about the books... i kinda snatched his card away from him... but he sat down beside me and snatched both cards away... -_-" i'm gonna be smarter... i'll transfer the $ to him... and he'll be too lazy to transfer back... took a bus back to his place... to watch the Man U vs Tottenham match... guy fell asleep during the first half... and weirdly enough, i was the only one watching... bo pian... i find Park damn cute... dunnoe why he fall down so many times today... and poor linesman got kicked in the shins... bet he is not wearing shin guards... cut the cake from yesterdae... his dad asked why so small, why so sweet... paiseh sia... but i am poor student... and his son loves Tiramisu... at least this one had a stronger rum taste... and a white chocolate layer on top... not bad... i like... he sent me back thereafter... actually i feel bad getting him to send me back when my dad offered to pick me up... his dad's car consumes more fuel per km... but i really like the feeling of him being the one who drives me... just feels so good... hope you had a Happy Birthday... 'cause i enjoyed myself so... special thanks to... Wil who answered my questions about... whether A should hide in B's room for B to come back and surprise B for B's birthday... even when A doesn't really know B's friends who are coming back with B... Yijun, the girl, who brainstormed with me on what to do for his bday... whose lovely suggestions i didnt manage to put to work... Yijun, the guy, who helped me with places i can get the elusive Tiramisu... the one which hasn't been dissected into little pieces and sold at obscene prices with coffee... ----Stef stopped rambling at 01:24 --Link to Post |
