The Gathering

I'm going to blog a long post this time. Because it involves 2 birthday parties that we organised for 2 of my BQFs.

First up is Lance's birthday on 9 June, and the preparation dated back right after I finished my exam in May as it involves a lot of people.

Supposed to have more people but quite a few didn't turn up that day. Sort of disappointed. And I personally feel that if one does not make an effort to join any gathering, you can't blame others if you are not invited to any future outings, because this just shows how unimportant we are to you.

Dinner was at Mad Jack cafe and it was like Pastamania sort of eating place where we will order and pay at the counter.

The birthday boy with the birthday cake, specially ordered from Secret Recipe.

Wanted to celebrate Sheena's birthday too but she have OT and could not join us.

Another group photo with the cake.

And the 38 gang. Our own picture!

Birthday boy eagerly opening his present.

Wide instax camera! I know he likes to take pictures hahaha

So busy posing with the camera

And the last surprise of the day is the birthday card!

Love the 38 gang! And I always wonder how come we can click so well despite our differences and the really short time period that we had known each. It's only barely 1 year! And now I do, because all of us are accommodating enough to compromise for one another, one way and another.

Next birthday is belongs to Heng Hiang's on 15 June and we celebrated in Game Haven.

It was really tough planning for his one because he's always asking us questions that almost make us reveal the surprise to him. Without the surprise element, it's just so plain and boring. Luckily I got lance to help with the planning because I barely recover from all the planning last week.

Managed to get the cake from Dhoby Ghaut before proceeding to Clark Quay. Even though we were there early, we need to get drinks and prepare the room, only to find out that there's a slight mistake which is that we forgot to get lighter and JX has to borrow it from the counter. This expose our plan because HH was walking towards the room and he already saw JX prior to entering the room.

Surprise element 2 is the fake present: hard disk, which he peel very carefully.

3rd surprise element is something that he had wanted all along; San Guo Sha playing cards! He was still doubting that we will get that for him because I told him that delivery takes time if he want to order it.

See the newspaper packaging? I purposely wrap over 10 layers for him to peel slowly, and it took me an entire night to wrap it.

ZX and his JC clique got him a Fred perry shirt that he wanted all along. So HH is a happy boy.

And 4th surprise is the video that Ben made for him.

After all the surprises, it's time for dinner! Sunshine Fantasy! Favourite pizza when we were at ICA last year.

And Wii Game! That's the main purpose of booking the room!

And HH was so high after playing Raving Rabbit (my all time favourite game)

Mario cart!

And we ended the day with instaxes! Love my new instax camera! The mini!
