Sept 12, Luckily Not Sept 11
Greetings all!!Our dear CW would be too busy doin law assigns to cover today’s event so I’ll just do a less skilled event coverage report.
Today was SY’s and Jord’s Bday!!! A glorious day indeed for these two aging couples. Somehow, as though connected by psychic influence, both of them wore red for today’s celebration. The hard part was to make it least noticeable that we were planning something for once…..as you can see….most of our plannings especially TY’s Bday had too much hints and spoilers that something was goin on….and all the victim had to do was act stupid as though nothing was goin on.
My first step was to not spam the couple after midnight struck as I would normally do to announce that the smiley one remembers their very existence on planet earth. I didn’t even hint out that I remembered what Tuesday was gonna be so there were few times I told SY and Jord “Haihz….tomorrows just another miserable day for us marketing peeps..to just rush for tutorial work” Surprisingly neither Jord or SY tried giving hints to remind us that it was their bday today. Sorree ler I prefer to ensure my artwork plans to go unnoticed this time, I didn’t even specify the project’s status as I was doing it on sat and sun. BTW the two pictures are the results of Project Methuss and Messala. TY’s one was Project Requiem……..more interesting If I codenamed my work haha.
Anyways, most of the contribution came from YK and Penny. Getting everyone together was hard and some of the mistakes I indeed forgot was that
Leech was supposed to tag along as well when we first headed to Medan. Frankly……I didn’t notice Leech was at the foyer as well and the confusion was mainly due to the chaos of first realizing that SY wasn’t even at uni yet so I asked Alvin to drag her to eat with us quickly and then Jord almost didn’t join us at all cuz he wanted to join his other group of friends for lunch.
About the gift…we initially had wanted to get a toy car for Jord but sumhow I felt someone else was already gonna do so nways and If we got sumthin for Jord, we wont know what to give SY at such short notice on Sunday night.
Other weird things was…TY got a call from an unknown caller during the celebration and mistaking the caller as CW, directed the caller to Medan….turns out later that it wasn’t CW nor anyone else we can guess………so did we accidentally invite paranormal beings among us? We might never know…
Thanks to TY’s 1 hour dedication of skipping his dunno what meeting which I suppose is educationally related, we managed to snap nice photos as usual. Every event is not complete without a photographer. This time, things turned out better…….it can be learnt that its easier to get the cake 1 day earlier from the actual event than to do it last moment style as BEN would normally consider……way to go PENN PENN!!
Overall, yea we sure hit them by a mileage of surprise. Even printing the wallpapers was hard since Jord’s normally around when I’m in com labs. Actually he noticed me printing the file EVO7 which I regret naming it that way in one of the subfolders I didn’t close. Jord: “Eh, Calvin…Evo car picture ar? Lemme see!!” I just told him “No la…its not an EVO7 car, you know lar, I have no interest in cars so my type of EVO7 files are not the EVO7 cars you think……Its an Evolution Wallpaper I want printed”
One more failure………we didn’t manage to get them to pick up the candles without using any hands….
