Chien's birthday
Hmm... wanna hear of a plan being aborted, due to cartoons??
Original plan:
Buy flowers. Buy cake. Go to Chien's office. Surprise her. At 7pm.
Foiled plan:
Meow and Becky were late.
Daffy was even later!
Meow and Becky bought flowers (They chose them themselves! Pretty!)
Meow insisted that flowers will die if they were out in the open at the busstop. (In essence, she wanted aircon.)
Meow and Becky returned to Novena Square.
Chien decided to go for a walk.
Yes, you guessed it! Chien spotted them with the flowers! (Which Becky tried fruitlessly to hide behind her back.)
Daffy gets a call. "Plan B! Plan B!! Abort! Abort!!" In Becky's words, it was "Mission Impossible being played out".
Daffy remains calm. "Still have Plan B."
Plan B:
Goes to Ichiban Boshi (which Chien did not know, although there is an unspoken rule that the birthday person always knows where to go!)
Orders food as per normal. Feeds Chien rice, to fill her up.
Exchange gifts as per normal.
Signals to Meow and Becky to go to the Ladies. Becky is lost. Meow fortunately takes the cue. =)
Subtlely asks Chien if she needs the Ladies. Thank God she said she didn't mind!
Hurriedly takes the tiny cake out from bag and places candle in it.
Becky attempts to hide it behind the presents and soy sauce bottle. Daffy checks the angle.
As Chien approaches, Becky reminds Daffy of the cake box.
Daffy clumsily hides it behind her back.
Chien suspects that Daffy has something up her sleeves.
Chien focuses on Daffy and conveniently loses track of the more important issue - what that thing is.
Chien turns around and spots the cake. SURPRISE!!! =)
Plan B: SUCCESSFUL! *grin*
Debrief on reasons why things happened the way they did:
1) Meow and her flowers and aircon.
2) Daffy's "punctuality"
3) Chien's hyperactivity
4) Becky's reasoning on how we didn't sychronize our watches.
Chien resorts to drawing watches on all of us. Her drawing skills have yet to improve. She made a hockey stick look like a boot last time. Now, she makes "10:10" look like a digital screen instead. After drawing, we realized we have yet to learn from the past. We all had different timings on our watches. Mine was 9, Meow's 10:10 (supposedly), Becky's 11, and Chien's "ABCD" cos she can't read numbers. Haha!
Chien tried to kill us all by offering strawberries coated with chocolate. She inserted a pin into the plastic bag. Woe to the person who ate it! I almost did, suspecting it was some sour berry. Heh. What a close shave we all had! I placed the pin onto the red cherry on the cake and offered it to Chien instead. It looked totally natural. Haha! She was the last to know again. Heh.
She didn't die. How could we bear to?? The cake sucked though. Shops should allow customers to try their cakes before purchase. Anyway, it turned out all fine. ABCD. *Happy*
