the celebrated success

Title: the celebrated success

Sat/Jan 5

The day that the boy by the name - Aik Nen - would never have thought it churned out to be that, including the one with the name of Kwan Chet. Although Jan 5 was a day late for celebration, it was sure fun-packed. The day sure started abit rough between Chet and Aik Nen. According to Aik Nen's newly bought 唐立淇's book on horoscope, Chet was to have 'clashes' with him. Apparently, it was quite true. The 2 fought verbally quite often and it was like when Chet wanted to make a comment and he would go, "够了(enough)" and ignore him.

Soon, it was night when the real surprise was on its way. Chet excused himself from Pearlyn, Amy and Aik Nen at Starbucks. Meanwhile, Pearlyn and Amy were asked to entertain Aik Nen by talking craps via sms from Chet (not sure what craps also). So Chet went to meet Melise, Maureen, Derek and Grace. Quickly, the plan was drawn within minutes.

The Master Plan:
A. Buy the present
B. Get the cake
C. Book a place at PastaMania

Then recently confirmed her status as the "Director" Melise put her skills to good use. She and Derek with the help of the others came up with the plot to present the cake and presents. After buying present, Chet was tasked to queue for a place in restaurant. Derek, Maureen and Grace went to buy cake. Director Melise went to lead Aik Nen and the rest to the restaurant.

Soon after, all was seated and food was ordered. Derek excused himself. To make it naturally for Chet and Maureen to leave the scene (actually not very natural), Director Melise with some quick wits, told Maureen to leave. As usual, the blur Mautise went off in 'blur' mode. Melise immediately asked Chet to chase after her. (well, as can be read, the move by Director Melise generated more rumours for Mautise and Chet).

To add fun to the celebration, relighting candles were used. When Chet, Mautise and Derek were done with the cake, they were on the way back to the restaurant. Derek started the birthday singing with cake on his hands, within steps near Aik Nen.

The cake was brought before the birthday boy. He made his wishes and blew. At first sight, Chet thought the relighting candles failed as they did not relight. But he was proven wrong. Aik Nen blew, blew and blew.... .....

Then he was presented with a card from all of us. He followed Director Melise's instruction closely - open the card and rub it inside to make the words in the card visible. oh my. But due to common logic exercised, there was no word appearing.

All the little wishes from everyone filled the card soon. It was a success as it caught Aik Nen and surprisingly Pearlyn off-guard. The most important thing was that everyone enjoyed the night to the fullest ( a pat for all, great job).
