Day 24 – Happy Birthday, Jas Min! – 生日快乐,洁敏!

Day 24

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY, JAS MIN J

So, yes, today is her birthday! At 12am, we gave her a surprise! It’s kind of hard for Geena and me to come up with excuses, etc so that she won’t feel that something was amiss. BUT it was fun, hahaJ

The first surprise…

When Yan Fang knocked the door at 12am, Geena was hiding in the bathroom while I was pretending to be engrossed in watching the video and didn’t hear the knocks. It was only when Yan Fang knocked the door the second time then she heard the knock on the door. Once she started to walk to answer the door, I sprang into action – switching off lights! Geena was in charge of switching off the lights in the bathroom, that’s why she hid in the bathroomJ When she opened the door, a cake was right in front of her and almost the whole class was outside, even Mr Imran was there too. Most had cameras with them to capture the surprised expression on her face.

After she had made her wish, she blew the candles and cut the cake. Then, we placed two chairs in the middle of our room to make a temporary table for her to cut the cake into slices. The fruity cake was yummy! All of us were having fun, etc when Yan Fang and Hana suddenly started a CREAM WAR! Like I said, it happened so fast that many didn’t manage to take photos.

From my perspective, I think this was what happened. Yan Fang was folding her paper plate into half and then Hana told her to open it. Then, I do not know what happen, there was some cream on Yan Fang’s hair and then Yan Fang smacked her plate on Hana’s t-shirt. After that, she fled with Hana chasing after her.

BUT it was funJ although there was some cream on the floor in our room and along the corridor. By then, it was already 12.40am so we went to clean up our room when we realized something. The light bulb in the bathroom FUSED! Oh my god! How on earth are we going to shower, etc? No wonder we were told to bring torchlight in case of situation like this.

PHOTOS! (Thanks Geena for some of the photosJ)

Having slept at 2.30am last night, I woke up at 12.30pm today, hahaJ Same time as Geena! I thought that in daytime, maybe we can have a bit of light in our bathroom but it was not the case. Seems like we have to inform the person who is in charge as soon as possible. At about 12.45pm, I went to Yan Fang’s room to write my message on Jas Min’s birthday card.

The second surprise…

We were about to give it to her when Geena told me she went to buy some biscuits from the nearby provision shop so we changed our plan. Yan Fang placed the card at the metal gate and all of us hid in our rooms. She returned and said “I saw it already!” and took the card. Yan Fang then gave her the sketch book – her present!

So, that’s about it for the birthday surprise!
