• had planned to shop for seet teng's birthday present over the weekend.. from the list which she PROUDLY and "generously" blogged up.
  
• initially we thought it would be fun to get her a skirt or a hot shorts or a vest or even.. frankly, heels. but the idea was scraped because one. she can easily obtain them at almost half the price at toa payoh where she frequents. two. her mom forbids "skimpy" clothings on her darling daughter. three. she will NEVER wear it even if her mom allows.
  
• so we actually thought our plan was flawless since we could "get rid" of seet teng as she goes for her afternoon waterpolo training. BUT GAWD KNOWS IT WAS CANCELLED and we only knew it on the day itself. *PANICS*
  
• genius-es or idiots as we were.. we decided to "escape" from her by commanding her stays outside the LT2 toilet. ks char and me excitedly RAN OUT --literally-- from the other door..


• when we thought seet teng could take the joke and go home herself whilst the rest of us head to dhoby ghaut, we heard this flabbergasted squeal all the way from the windy tables: "CHARLEEENEEEE!!" [please note that our poor little seet teng is still outside the toilet waiting...]


• shocked and afraid she would catch up with us and then realising we were getting her the present that day, we SPRINTED to the RI tables. HAH. and this is when seet teng called my phone. err.. blank as i was, i just stared at my phone until it stopped vibrating--it's silent mode.


• ks picked up her call and got a bad scolding for leaving without informing and making a fool out of her. and she hung up. OOPS. in trouble obvious.


• still, not wanting to destroy our plans, ks headed a different route via RI while char and me phoned seet teng and pretended ABSOLUTELY innocent when she asked our whereabouts. the excuse? CHASING STALKING AFTER SOME EYECANDY.


• okay. the bottom line is.. she was really REALly REALLLLY PISSED. it really took me and char some sincere-yet-not-all-so-sincere coaxing to bring down her temper as we walked to the mrt via outside RI. ---our poor ks was still alone. lonely. strolling in the midst of ri boys...


• bidded goodbye to char as she took her usual train while i.. being the GREATEST sacrificer, [ok la. not the greatest la..] took the train all the way home with seet teng. *sighs. imagine the long lonely journey i had to make back via bishan to dhoby ghaut.


• shopping tee-shirts was seet teng is one of the most tedious tasks i've ever undertaken. her shoulders are BROAD. so you usually get a BIGGER shirt. BUT. her BODY is SHORT. so a bigger shirt may end up looking not-like-shirt-not-like-dress on her. which is going to look really glamorous. it became worse when some shirts only comes in ONE SIZE. or that the shirt costs WAY OVER BUDGET.


• at least we bought chocolates THAT CANNOT BE FOUND IN NTUC at the end of the day as the 3 of us stoned and rest our feet at BK. and mind you. i wasnt feeling in my best that day physically. haha. BUT THEN. FOR HER. ALL WORTH IT LAH.
  

thursday 3rd july

• seet teng.. being the fast-tempered and yet also easily calmed person.. gave ks LOADS OF PICTURES of her favourites to compensate for hanging up the phone on her. we really wanted to tell her it's NOT her fault AT ALL. but the time wasnt ripe.


• SORRY SEET TENG.


• with all the secret drag-aways and seet-teng-prohibited talks. it's inevitable that she gains suspicions of us and of our plans. BUT NO!!!! YOU SHALL NOT BE INFORMED IN ANY WAY!! YOU JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE!


• in the next couple of days.. ks and char took their time to hunt down rocker shirts.. but. NOTHING. OH MY GAWD. TIME WASTED.
  

many days past. and still no "work" done.

• perhaps the only work done is to call seet teng's mom so she can help us in surprising this birthday girl.


• and seet teng is still kept in the dark. supposedly. if she didnt OVERHEARD her mom REPEATING EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE SPOKE OVER THE PHONE. *laughs*
  

tuesday 8th july

• seet teng tells that her polo friends have invited her for dinner on her birthday and asks if we had plans for outing with her. WE DENIED THE PRESENCE OF A PLAN FOR AN OUTING.


• ks and i PANICS. HOW HOW HOW. ok i think we went abit overboard. BUT..


• we borrowed her phone in the name of calling ks's brother and that i refuse to lend my phone to ks. we searched through her outbox for that polo person. AND TAH-DAH. number copied down and saved and the handphone immediately returned to seet teng to avoid suspicion which is.. errm. abit too late. haha.


• ks sms-ed that polo girl and requested that she joins in the BIG FAT LIE. which she did. OH MY GAWD. I THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES though i don't even recognize or know who you are.


• even when on the mrt with peixuan around, i tried to arouse some emotions and convince seet teng there is really no plan by acting EMO and all. i wonder if it helped. seet teng looked convinced. but i still wonder if she's ACTING as well as i did.


• result: seet teng goes home and find that the polo dinner is unconfirmed. and "thinks" there's no clique outing. okay. birthday girl left at home. sad life. disappointing huh. NAAAH.
  

wednesday 9th july TODAY!!

• i must be a genius as my subconscious mind tells me it's still the 8th. so it's not seet teng's birthday. IT'S STILL TOMORROW. haha. evidence from my math lecture notes. birthday girl was sharp to notice that the day written isnt her birthday. AND SHE UNDERLINED IT FOR ME. thanks arh.


• this is especially ironic when i sms-ed her at 12am in the morning to "bless" her.


• shoo-ed her out of the classroom the moment she got into class as i was still in the midst of editing the little note for her. haha. mean right. I DONT CARE. OH. and i came to realise how much i missed bio practicals WITHOUT SPAS. all the laughter and bullshit. how fun.


• was it some coincidence or something? i was writing about thunder and lightning and TADAH. storm this morning. i remember this was what happened on my birthday last year. but i assumed it's RAIN BI blessing me (:


• math paper gotten back today so not everyone was in the mood for a celebration except the birthday girl who.. erm. JUMPED AROUND after repeated attempts at ms wang.


• okay. YAY. thank you seet teng and the gifted baker for the tiramisu cake. YUMMY. and the OVERLY EXPANDED carrot cake was quite some weight too. hah. and sorry for your pathetic birthday song. i promise you a loud one whenever you want it. OKAY.


• went home with seet teng like the usual way we did it after assembly as ks rushed home for "family matters"... IF YOU WONDER WHERE JWONG AND CHAR ARE. errr. they were in the library printing materials while our innocent seet teng thought they already went back home. haha. the funny thing is.. their bags are still laid ON TOP of hers.. BLIND darling. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD REDUCE CONSUMPTION OF MENTOS.


• called seet teng's mom secretly the moment i got off my station. HAH. this is to ensure seet is not at home to overhear her mama. haha. WE ARE PRO AT THIS ALREADY MAN.


• the original meeting time was 3.30 but we end up leaving the bus interchange like 1 hour 10 minutes late. hah. thanks to last minute change of decision on her present[clique one] and indecisiveness. MY LEGS WERE DYING from the UP-AND-DOWN walking in the shopping mall. AHHHHHHHHHHHH.


• finally we reached seet teng's house at like 5 something pm. and because we had the thinking the seet teng knows everything but is pretending that she doesnt to keep us happy.. we decided to just face it.


• "knock! knock! knock!" [char covers peep hole. all laughed]


• [auntie opens door and her eyes sparkled like seet's.. ahh. now we know where the genes come from.] "AHHH. yall come already ah..."


• "AH TENG!! your friends are at the door.. come! come!"


• [absolute silence and seet teng was not in sight from the door]


• "haha. you think i bluffing you arh. come! really, come!"


• seet teng strolls to the door in blue singlet and shorts with amazement in her eyes[i still think she's faking it] and a pack of cadbury chocolates in her hands.


• "surprise! surprise! surprise! surprise!"---cause got 4 person mah. and then we sung birthday song RIGHT AT HER FRONT DOOR. who cares about "face" at that point of time haha.


• we took some photos. had some drinks. laughed with her mom. and got seet teng to wear what we bought. WOOTS. that shirt is nice. FINALLY MY TASTE/PREFERENCE HAS EARNED RECOGNITION FROM MY FRIENDS. WAHAHAHA.


• i still feel guilty for robbing seet teng from her mom and dad. i mean. imagine your daughter birthday.. and you dont get to celebrate her birthday for her. let alone it's her eighteenth birthday and she your only child. and i still think her dad come home earlier than usual to celebrate her birthday. i could sense that tinge of disappointment when we told her mom we were bringing her out for dinner. IM SORRY.


• ok so anyway, she got all dressed up. and WORE CONTACT LENSES LEH. HER EYES. MESMERISED ME ONCE MORE. haha. rocker. wheee. OFF WE WENT.


• we took ages to decide where to eat.. seoul garden? breeks? din tai feng? swensen? char and i held hands until WE FINALLY LANDED OUR BUTTS IN FISH&CO. *phew* aye. what's wrong with holding hands hmmm?


• dinner was a breeze as we chatted and realised that. CHARLENE WHO COULD TAKE 2 HOURS TO EAT A PLATE OF RICE ACTUALLY ATE FASTER THAN ALL OF US. IM AMAZED. play zhong ji mi ma and sabo-ed charlene into eating that high-salt-high-pepper-content vanilla ice cream. HAH.


• we strolled back to takashimaya and sat by the stairs like some ah lians to complete our gossipings. AHHHH. how much more time do we have left to complain and "perv" at the people around us? oh by the way. IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON who looks around for good looking people on the train, KS JUST DID IT TODAY. HAHAHAHHA.


• boarded the mrt with char and seet. the former dropped off a few stops early. and i wished she stayed on longer. cause i cannot help staring enviously at my pretty classmate. and she probably thinks im joking again. oh wells.


• i'd like to thank your papa and mama. and you again (: you're the closest man.
