Birthday Surprises

It's weird how people tend to prioritise 18th and 21st birthdays.Hey,just saying.Not like it bothers me at all.In fact I wouldn't mind.Yes,I had mine just 24 hours ago.Hmm,to be honest I don't know what happen exactly in the surprisers point of view,but I'll share mine anyway.First of,I heard that Claire and Cynthia wanted to have a surprise party for me,but was cancelled.And that was just,at most 2 days after the actual date of my birthday.So,logically I didn't believe that they'd give up.And then,Cynthia went on a family trip which made it only possible to be held after wednesday.Tuesday,Bernice asked me if I could fetch her home after church.So,I said yes,no problem.And then the next day she apologises to me because she accidentally blurted out the fact that I accepted Christ.Even then I never suspected anything.Honest.The next day,when Marcus logged into his facebook,I took a quick glance and somehow saw a chat which consists of "Jonathan Lau and 11 others".I actually saw the words "11 others" first.So,I thought,perhaps it's about Taekwondo related issues.At night,before I shut me eyes,I went into deep thought.Hmm,why would Jonathan be involved?Only possible answer,a surprise party.Why,you ask?Because never in history of the three August idiots,that I wouldn't be involve in something that there were both involved in.But I wasn't satisfied with just such a shallow conclusion.I dug deeper.Which made me recall the word "cake" that Marcus,Cynthia and Claire were whispering about.So now I got two evindence items.But I'm the kind of person who rather dies than to suffer in curiousity.Which made me question Bernice about the reason she told whoever it is about me going to church.She said I'll know about soon,because she doesn't have the courage to tell.I would've believed if I hadn't saw that facebook chat.So,I finally got three pieces of a puzzle.She wouldn't tell me why,because it would reveal the time of the party.And the only reason she told must've been because it is during church and she is the only one that knew I wouldn't be home.So that's three.Then I remembered my mother asking me how to spell elder sister,in Mandarin.Why makes me recall of the time Marcus told me about how he accidentally texted my mother and she played the "Jie Jie" joke on him.Which sums up to four.It's just a matter of placing the pieces of the puzzle together.Just because I act like an idiot doesn't mean I am one you know.It's funny how everyone keeps on asking me the same question : How did you know?Well all I did was point my finger towards my brain.I told my mother and brother as well.My mother reacted the same like others.My brother didn't even flinch.He said,"It's no surprise that you know there's a surprise".Perks of being my elder brother I guess?

Well,don't feel bad.At least I didn't know that it would be in my own house,right?Not until 10 seconds before I enter the house.Because I heard voices,and thought there were distant relatives or something.Which made me look at the shoes and slippers at the doorstep.And I saw a very,V-E-R-Y familiar white slipper.Then I could only chuckle and say three words,I KNEW IT.If there's one thing I can always trust on,it's my instinct!So then,"SURPRISE!".Set up some tables,chairs and barbeque equipment.Jokes here and there,laughter everywhere.Truth is,it's exactly the same as our usual outings.With the addition of better food.Everything else is exactly the same.So why bother with surprises?Maybe it's because it gives a good feeling that you have friends.We need not any good activities,excellent food nor fancy restaurants.We only need them to attend.Here's a rating for the surprise party,8/10.I personally think it's successful and organisers did well to keep the secret.But I'm better,*laughs.Damn it,it's hard to make a statement sound playful or in a jokingly manner without smileys.And my mother is as always,overfriendly.My brother was spot on when he said that she is probably feeling even happier than me after the party.Okay this is to that certain someone who always beats herself up : it's not your fault that you were being quiet because anyone would've been if they were in the exact same situation and it's defnitely not nobody's fault that I found out,I'm observant you know,*winks.Oh come to think of it,the fifth puzzle piece was that you said you were gonna attend a party which you wouldn't know anyone.If it was me,I wouldn't have gone.So,who's the real coward hmm?Hey,you were the key factor that lured me to the party.Birthday boy says it's fine,so it's all good!Just didn't felt good because the last party before PMR that you attended sucks for you.I'm really sorry.6 years ago,I wanted to go to SMK Damansara Jaya so badly because I'd know a lot of people there.Instead,I've been given SMK Taman Sea.And now after that highschool chapter of my life,I can finally see the result.Maybe I've always been destined to go Taman Sea afterall.Regrets?Nah.Thanks.It was fate that made me befriend you because,I was sitting next to you in 1 Lili.Oh wait,actually I do regret not more stupid stuff.What?I can still do it now?I'm too old for these stuff.Amen.(Pictures not available as it is not uploaded yet)
