Pearlyn's Birthday Surprise!

Title: Pearlyn's Birthday Surprise!

The day started for me at 3pm sharp when i started counting down at 2.59pm. I was waiting for the last few sentences to be finished before i rushed to do something important. Exactly, the lecture stopped at 3pm, like always. I met Kok Ho and Sara shortly then went around the school with Wen Jie to do some 'debt' collection. Maureen was with Pearlyn and had been feeding information where Pearlyn was, good job Maureen.

Wen Jie and i went ahead and bought the cake from Holland V. Well, we had wanted to buy an ice-cream cake but the Swensen outlet there was not opened. So we opted to buy a cake that we thought the birthday girl would like. In the end, we bought a flower, balloon and a Boston Chocolate cake.


Quickly, we went back to school via bus. Along the way, i checked with Maureen's location as she was with the birthday girl so that we could avoid her. Then we met Melise to proceed to the room for the surprise. We met Pak Wing and Wen Si and Alisa also came from the meeting to help.


Wen Si and Alisa were crucial in the surprise. They were tasked to do a very, very important job - switch off the light. Once the door was opened, we started singing the birthday song. Wen Jie went in first with the cake, then Melise and me with the flowers. So i went to Pearlyn and presented her with the flowers. She could not stop laughing and i had to grab her hand and push it to her.

Apparently, still in a state of shock, Pearlyn could not stop covering her mouth and was expressing herself as though she had some asthma (usual case for her). After all the photo-takings, Maureen played her powerpoint slides made specially for Pearlyn. I also showed my video to them. Not even Maureen knew about it. I felt that the video could be made longer but i could not do it due to time constraint and i was making a video the first time in my life.

So Maureen and i had a hard and long time trying to get the audio on for the video. It was like so long till JiaFeng and Gerry even came to offer some help. After that, i kept saying to Maureen, "回家煮饭". So funny.

Went to Rocky's for pizza meal and then Daily Scoop for ice-cream. Pearlyn could not stop her asthma move the whole evening. She was funny.
