20 March 2012

YYAAAAAYYY!!!! Today is my special day, it is my BIRTHDAY!!!

At midnight, Hakim, Shakir and Chee Seng woke me from my sleep by adding toothpaste on my face. I went straight to the bathroom and wash my face to get rid of it. I got out with a surprise from them, they wished me “Happy Birthday!” and Chee Seng got me a present, a 2004 Porsche GT3 RS die-cast car for display. It was quite late and all went back to sleep till 7am. I just couldn’t sleep, expecting better things to come.

In the morning, I got tons of Facebook posts from my friends wishing me “Happy Birthday!” It took me some time to reply to them all and just enough time to go to school for lessons. Mr. Lim taught us the last part of Chapter 3 and I did some questions from Tutorial 3.

 My afternoon lesson was better, the IS teacher taught us how to play Chinese chess but sadly I just watched them play. It is interesting to see some non-Chinese playing this game.

For dinner, Xiao Jie and Lu Lu invited our group to eat at a restaurant outside the school campus. It’s a steamboat but dry one and its salty chicken with vegetables and it costs $65 Yuan for 8 of us which was really affordable and it was my treat to them.

 





It gets even better, the biggest surprise of my life.
 After dinner, the two of them brought us to a dark and quiet corner in school where our other China friends are waiting for us to arrive!!

 
 The table has a big cake, two lit candles and two presents for me! We sang the birthday song together and ate the cake!

Once that was done, we went out the school gate to the river bank and start a fireworks display to end my day! Birthday and making the right friends are the best parts of my life!! Life is good when you make the right choice!!!
