Birthday Surprises that made me wanna Cry
Saturday, November 29, 2008
On 10th November evening we were supposed to have our HCM meeting at school. I was uber bored because I had a Mandarin meeting before that, and it was a no-lesson day for me. Earlier in the afternoon I saw Bezae holding a BreadTalk plastic bag from afar and I was thinking this guy really loves bread man. He always brings a tuppleware of sandwiches to class on Thursday mornings.
When I saw him coming to the bench holding the BreadTalk plastic bag, Jasmine ran to him and both of them started talking behind the pillar and I couldn't really see them. So I got out of my bench to talk to Bezae, "HEY IS THAT DONUTS FOR ME? WHY YOU NEVER BUY DONUTS FOR ME? I WANNA EATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"
Jasmine stared at me oddly, and she walked away looking kinda pissed. I was like, did I do or say something wrong?
So I looked back at Bezae and realized he was holding a small cake box, and he had this really really awful sour look on his face.
I had ruined my own surprise. (as usual every year i do the same thing to all my folks i wonder why they still wanna crack their brains man)
But I was so happy! I never expected this from them, not from project mates!
Bezae didn't make sure the box was upright and so the chocolate mousse toppled over the side of the box. He tore the side of the box and told me to eat the cake using that as a "fork". I had two small mouthfuls before continuing with the meeting, and Bezae gobbled the rest up while Jasmine and I were hard at work.
No wonder Jasmine was getting more pissed off with him. But it's okay we share the love and the cake (and the calories).
30 mins later I heard a stupid car horn and I didn't care less because I was so focussed on my discssion. This guy just came behind me in the midst of our discussion, called my name and passed me 1/2 dozen of J.Co. donuts!
Seriously I got a shock man because he appeared out of a sudden, but I was REALLY REALLY happy this time because I was craving for donuts so badly (and BJ already ate up my tiny cake). And then I saw Daryl's face peeping curiously with his nose pressed on the car window. Yes he was looking at Jasmine. Wth.
Bezae is so gay! He chose a donut with white icing!?! I thought only girls liked icing! See he eat until like that, like specky old man, haha.
Here's all my HCM group members. And Professor Thomas Menkhoff. He is a slack professor so I like him (so superifical of me rite).
Jasmine looks so cute here with her arms reaching out! And Ian can't smile for nut's sake.
Miss Grote is 2nd from right and she speaks so fast I don't understand what she is saying after asking her to repeat 3 times so I give up 90% of the time.
As some of you may know I took up a module called "Doing Business in China". We have to submit our assignments in Mandarin, discuss in class in Mandarin, and present in Mandarin. All these of course googling in Mandarin and blowing up the words on the screen to make out what they are in the course of research.
And Zheng Fu (we like to call her miss government) planned another birthday surprise on the actual day of my birthday! Because we had to stay back late in school for a rehearsal.
I left school at 11.30pm.in 1/2 an hours' time, it was not my birthday anymore and I had to present in Mandarin without a freaking script for the first time in my life.
Guess who is Ha Ha. Yes my friend's name is called Wu Haha. She doesn't like the name her grandfather gave her (FOR OBVIOUS REASONS), but we think it's verrryyyy amusing.
Ha Ha is the 1st girl from the left! Look whose picture Zheng Fu is holding!!
DENG XIAOPING!!! OMG!!
Thank you everybody for making that week so special for me! I was really surprised and touched by all that spontaneity. I love all of you very much!!
