Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten so many surprises + celebration from them.
One after another, I almost couldn't take it.
Well, pathetically speaking, in my life, I haven't had so many of it in such a short period!
Alright.
I am rummaging through my memories, it happened 2 weeks ago, and memories do fade through passage of time. I need time to recollect the pieces. Aiks, if not for the procrastinating nature born with me.
1) Lavazza's
This is totally unexpected. Of course, it was a surprise, as I said.
I wrote about it here.
2) Sakae Sushi's
This is a fake celebration, according to them.
It is just a smokescreen in preparation for the coming surprises.
So the same clique, 3 of them, Jia Liang, Toby and Kin Chung treated me lunch as a so called celebtration at Sakae Sushi.
And I thought they wouldn't do anything anymore after that.
Opaque smokescreen they had it until I couldn't see the truth behind the it at all.
3) Taman Mutiara's residential area
This is quite funny I should say.
We gathered not for my birthday, albeit it was my birthday eve.
We were sending off one of the Hamka members, Rip (Ripdaman in full) who would be serving in Canada.
Buay Rip!
Rip will be good.No worries lah.
Since it was quite early after sending him off, we decided to head to somewhere to watch fireworks.
Initially, we planned to go to the Look Out Point area, BUT there comes two problems.
1) it was Merdeka eve, we assumed that we had to jam all the way up to the hill.
2) Toby would wish to spend the Merdeka eve with his crush Yen Yee (hello any of you reading here?), and it would take about 20 minutes to crash the initially destined Ampang area from Yen Yee's place, it was 11.30pm when we made all the decisions and it was more than a speculation that we couldn't make it on time.
In the end, we decided to change the fireworks watching point to Yen Yee's residential area, a place of which we could have a equal bird-eye view of the city.
Toby and I went to pick Yen Yee up while the people from the other car, driven by Jia Liang, told Toby that they would want to get Oblong burger to have a picnic supper at the hill.
(sidenote: when asked, Toby told me that Oblong stands for Obviously Long,.
=.=
And I believed.
Er... Don't tell me that you believed like I did?)
So clock stroke 12am, and disappointingly, there weren't much fireworks around.
Individual fireworks could be spotted blossoming here and there in a lonely fashion.
Silent Merdeka celebration we had there. Sigh.
Alright I was ranting and babbling to an Aunty of how few fireworks this year when I heard someone singing from my back.
And I saw a familiar scene - Jia Liang, with a cake on his hand, leading the same clique, coming on my way.
The only difference is that the glamorous square Opera cake was then replaced by a simple round chocolate cake, decorated with a National flag which we got it at KLIA (happy Merdeka!);
and the birthday song was taken over by our national anthem, Negaraku. Oh yea, how patriotic!!That was, again, totally unexpected lah.
I remembered my self hiding my face in my hands, in a similar fashion of what I did in Lavazza's.
Really, how could one have so many surprises in such a short period?
Am I blessed or what?
Yea I shouldn't be too arrogant, that might just be a by the way act but see, I get satisfied very easily, even a by the way act was able to delight me.
Plus, I shouldn't have asked much - they, afterall, had celebrated for me few days before that!
That simple act, has truly made my night.
Oh wait, maybe it's not that simple afterall.
It wasn't easy for them to get a cake at that hour, and they were able to get one from Tesco, which operated until midnight.
I don't know whose brilliant idea was that, but thank you lah kawan~~
4) Zouk Cafe
It was a planned celebration and I knew that my friends gathered for my birthday.
Yen Yee, Hwai Li and Yen Ying were already there when I reached that place.
So ordered food, chit chatted, dee dee daa daa, and I expected it to be an end already.
So you could guess what happened next.
That familiar scene appeared before me again.
Someone was holding the cake, leading a bunch of people, singing the birthday song, coming on my way.
The difference of this with the previous two surprises were that, I saw a few unexpected faces..
I never thought that they would be there!
Alright, I know that Xiao Funn, who gave me a pair of beautiful Quaver earrings would be invited, her absence might due to her usual busy schedule....
but Mei Yi! My soulmate! I never expected her to be there!Don't think too much - it was not that something unpleasant happened between Mei Yi and Yen Yee + friends, they simple were not that close.
Much thanks to the sweetest Yen Yee who organised everything!!
Oh and!! That bunch of guys whom I had seen them for *I can't recall how many times* in a roll.
I thought it was just a girls' night out!
Anyway it was much like a girls' night out because the hens were gathered at one table while the bulls at another.
There were not much of interactions between the two genders. 
Sometimes it's just too difficult to get every single person involved at the same time due to the location.Usual practices. We normally pen down the greetings on the spot.
Hwai Li.
Yeng Chern who gifted me a pair of treble clef earrings.Whooiyoh my pals really know me!!!
Last but not least, boys at the next table writing the greetings.
***
Phew. Surprises no more.
The one at Zouk's marked an end to my 23rd birthday.
I thought I was lucky and blessed to have spent my 21st birthday with the most beautiful fireworks I have ever seen.
I thought I was lucky and blessed to have spent my 22nd birthday in an unusual place last year.
I was pleased and I didn't expect much for my 23rd.
Now I am truly delighted, knowing that there is a bunch of people who appreciate my birth.
Thank you mom! For giving birth to me!!
