Birthday Surprise
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Yesterday, I had a lunch promise with a friend of mine and I was wondering how many other people were attending because I know that Fido Dido and RaiRai’d be there. Then I thought to myself, "Hey… We’re going to Sushi Tei. Four people is a good number." That was including my sister.
.
Then they had changed plans because it’s a known fact that ALL sushi restaurants in Brunei closes at 2 PM. (I had the notion that ALL sushi restaurants had their own huge aquarium somewhere in the kitchen where the fish can just breed and ‘TA-DA~’! New fish!) So instead of going to Sushi Tei, the whole thing was transfered to the Indian restaurant called, ‘Le Taj’.
.
When I got there (It’s a good thing I was with my sister ‘coz I can’t see with my short-sightedness) my sister went into one of the tables that was IN a room. I was gonna go up the stairs and greet a bunch of strangers! That would’ve been so embarassing…
.
I followed my sister and found out that it weren’t just Fido and RaiRai but Ka Qil and her guy, Abg KS (I dunno how to spell it) and Christina! It was such a surprise that they were there because I thought they were still in UK or somewhere outside of Brunei. Then I heard that Ka Zul (who wasn’t present) was a teacher in STPRI! WTH? I didn’t know a thing? And then she said she was pregnant! Just kidding. They said she was engaged!
.
Then stories came flooding into my ears. There were words flying from the left of me and then in front of me and then to the far right. It was kind of hectic and only snippets were heard so sometimes we were confsed as to whom we were replying to, telling a story to or what the heck we were talking about.
.
We finished our lunch (or brunch for me) and I was stuffed to the max because I ate my plates clean~ Which was a lot… ‘Coz I saw that they still had their foods half eaten. I guess I’m a glutton~! Hahaha! Then RaiRai told me were gonna eat dessert. She was worried I wouldn’t be able to eat dessert if I ate my pills. I ate my pills anyway! Hahaha!!!
.
I thought we were done because all we did was sit down, do nothing except small chat and I was thinking, "When’re they going to ask for the bill?" Because I was going to meet my other friends after them and I had to change into my sports clothes. Suddenly, in mid conversation, my sister suddenly clapped her hands and sang happy birthday. Then the others too. I was REALLY confused. In my head I was thinking, "Is it somone’s birthday?"
.
Then I was thinking, "Oh, maybe it’s Abg KS’s birthday!" When I looked at him he was clapping his hands and singing as well. I was like, "What the heck is happening?" Then I saw the cake the waitresses were bringing into the room. Then she stopped BESIDE me and I was like, "Oh Shyt No…." (happily, of course). I couldn’t close my mouth! I was SO shocked. And they continued to sing and clap and I was really Daymn surprised. I didn’t expect it to happen. It was a day early of course but that wasn’t what surprised me. What surprised me was the fact that I didn’t realize it, the fact that they did this and the fact that they bought a HUGE ass cake from ‘Le Apple’ (Which, in my opinion, is a case of bad French spelling).
.
After we ate the cake I received gifts. One from Ka Qil, which was a character from the anime ‘Bleach’ (Thankee!!!!), from Christina which was a Tiramisu and Eclair (thanks!) and one from RaiRai! Ok… The RaiRai one was really unexpected. The truth is… I thought it was for someone else because it was a character from the hit anime movie by Studio Ghibli ‘My Neighbor Totoro’. And I was like, "Oh My GOD! It’s Totoro! Can I see it please?!" Then she said, "Happy Birthday."

To…. To— To—TO-TOT-TOTOTOOTOTOTTOTOTOROOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
It was for freekin’ me!!!! And she said that she bought it for me because when she saw it she thought of me! I thought it was akind of a compliment but my sister was thinking the negative. I don’t care! I love all my presents!
.
But that wasn’t the end of it. The midnight messages tradition started at 11.23PM and it went on and on until the morning. I have yet to sleep properly and there are bags under my eyes. I was only able to message back to a few people and I had to delete my messages box twice to receive the other messages. Some of the numbers I DON’T even recognize… But I was so happy (although a lil’ tired and coming down with some serious splitting headaches).
.
Thank you ALL especially Rafiqi (Fido Dido), RaiRai, Ka Qil, Christina, Abg KS and Ka Qyah (without Ka Qyah I wouldn’t have been able to get there~ Personal chauffeur~! Hahha!!!) Thank you so much!
.
And Ka Qyah said that my face was so ugly when I was surprised. I wonder if she caught it on camera…?
