Evangeline's Birthday

Title: Evangeline's Birthday


20 Oct was fun. I went to Plaza Singapura to meet Melise, Derek, Maureen, Wen Jie and newly-made friend Siu Wen after a meeting in school. So we started shopping around to source for presents for the birthday girl. haha. The first stop was near the eating place we were at previously. So Maureen commented that the display item looked really good and was worthy of a gift. In the end, I gave a comment that put off her and Siu Wen, "So you like this gift so there is no point buying whatever you like." It was as though i told her that the gift would not be what Evangeline would have liked to have.


So we proceeeded to a shop. At the shop, Melise who was obsessed with hiphop related stuff, was thinking of buying a hiphop jacket for Evangeline. So i went," So you like this, there is no point (buying)." (sounded really bad) So Siu Wen was already abit mad with what i said. For Wen Jie, he was so bored that he even put Melise's handphone into the display dress.


When we were at a toy shop, a call came. It was Derek. Haha, we left to shop while not alerting him, who was visiting the restroom. We did not pick up any calls from him till the toy shop. But when we tried to answer, he hanged the call as he was standing right behind and had Maureen frightened when she turned and looked.

While shopping around, Wen Jie sometimes also teased Maureen (爱昧) and Maureen seemed enjoying, 哦my天! This is scandalous. I just could not stand it till i even got Siu Wen and Derek to walk faster and let the supposedly couple to have their wild fun. haha. Derek's reaction was he was already immuned to Maureen's such doings.

In the end, a chicken stuff toy was bought. When walking to the MRT, Siu Wen popped me a question.

Siu Wen: You know what is heyboy in Vietnamese?
Me: Don't know.
Siu Wen: It is hello
Siu Wen: What about bye in Vietnamese?
Me: erm....
Siu Wen: It is heygirl.
Me: You are from Vietnam?
Siu Wen: no. I lied.

What actually made me believe it slightly was that Siu Wen looked as though she was from some neigbouring country. She looked like a foreigner.

So at the MRT station, we even played with the chicken. There were comments like Maureen and the chicken looked alike or i and the chicken looked similar which i thought was so unbelievable, 哦my天!

Finally, we reached White Sands shopping centre. The girls went printing photos while the rest went to Macdonald's as i needed a meal. After some time, the girls came back and we had to start writing on the birthday card. Then Evangeline came. I did not expect it. I was just back from the washroom and i saw her standing so close to where we were all sitting. She kept looking around for us but somehow could not as they all placed their heads on the table avoiding her. For me, as i was looking from a higher level, i could easily interpret why they were avoiding her and i had to distract her. So i came down the steps with my eyes fixed on my phone and walked past Evangeline who was near the flight of steps. haha.

When she went, "aaaa.....", i wished her happy birthday and knitted a story for her saying that Melise and company were sitting elsewhere in the eating outlet. So as i was misleading her, she saw Jia Feng and Aik Nen and company. Then i told her to leave with them while i and the rest would leave afterwards on our own.

As we were completing the card, we wrote Evangeline a chinese name on the card - 仪范杰林 which was come up by Melise, Siu Wen and me. To claim most of the credits, i came up with the exact chinese characters. I also told them that crab popcorn is in Japanese called, kani NB (hokkien word). By the way, i have not confirmed the pronounciation for the word popcorn.

Derek was funny when he created the tortoise language and communicated it with Maureen, (2 way communication which Maureen also went plob, plob.... at the bus interchange).

Walking towards the pits, i even called Zarra and blabbered some Japanese into her ears. Apparently, she just woke up from her sleep and had to hear a foreign language and unfamiliar voice on the phone.

So i went, "Watashi wa Tan san desu. Anatawa Lin san desuka? kani NB O tabe masuka?" The next thing i knew was she screamed into the phone and went all silent. The first phone call ended. Then i called again and started it again. haha. She ended my call soon. Derek eventually called and told her it was a prank but she replied saying," I nearly scolded, F**K you."

At the BBQ pits, i got to know some more new friends like Jing Xiang, EnQing, Jansen. We played do-ing, do-ing, introduced by Siu Wen and was also the biggest loser for the game. For more information on the game, do visit http://www.deal-withit.blogspot.com/.

We all went to play at the playground. haha. We climbed the pyramid, played swing and spinning discs. Also, Jansen, Wen Jie and i went to the beach near the pits where it was dark but there were 2 persons who could be seen from afar, digging. They even used a hoe to dig.

Then Jing Xiang taught Melise some malay. Her usual complaint was that she learnt from the book and was frequently given the false information when Jing Xiang corrected her. haha. I learnt a malay word, "pandai" meaning smart.

Birthday Message to Evangeline:
I hope you have enjoyed yourself on birthday. I have remembered you like doing the motion where you placed your fists together and rubbing your thumbs while you looked elsewhere. It was really classic. 哦my天! Anyway, happy 17 and good happenings on your way!
