What a pleasant surprise . . .
(It was almost ruined due to the promptness delivery of the fateful pizza.)
Lights dimmed even before they finished cleaning up, and my first suspect (who I didn’t see when I pry my eyes away from the PC) was Kharmilah. Why the hell would she wanna switch off the lights before they are done closing etc?
I looked up the second time when I saw a civilian walking at the sitting area outside carrying a cake… A CAKE !?
Then I saw so many other intruders outside walking behind him and I immediately realised …. Well … Well … Well … What a surprise … Pleasant. Very.
Next moment I was thinking, HURRY, lets get over with the party because I have my own hidden agenda - to SURPRISE my Boyfriend at his house with a small Swensen’s Cake which will then be shared romantically between the 2 of us. Sweet right.
Guess what, my plans backfired.
Because he was there with them with a bouqet of baby blue roses , 21 of them (my age) and he was hidin to surprise me. Gosh!
What a beautiful surprise!
Everyone on my roster list was there, short of 3 newbies. Every single one of them. Those familiar names that I see every week and every time I planned the roster.
I screamed and shouted, and angered and scolded, and punished and issued warning letters to some but they all still return to just be there for me.
Their presence is MORE than a gift is worth. Their effort to come all the way down are very much appreciated, rest assured.
Alas, my time to depart for Bangkok is coming nearer and whoever (Coffee Bean Funan - affiliated ones) and whenever you are reading this, please express my gratitude to every other person present yesterday night.
It was a very pleasant night and some hilarious and interesting conversations took place and I really hope we can do that again very soon.
And if ever you all leave for a better opportunity or further studies, to remember me because I will want to keep in touch with all of you till the end of time.
I want all of you to attend my wedding and also my funeral.
Thank you. So little words but that’s the only one I feel appropriate for your effort.
