10th June 2007: "D" for Vietnam!

OK people, this is gonna be a very routine post and I'm recording it all down for my future reference so be prepared...

Seriously, if all of us carried on with Mimi's plan for Duc, it would have been the worst birthday of his life but she was merciful. :P
Oh man....seriously, I don't mind having another sleepover at Mimi's house with all of them again!! (except that we should do it on a day where everyone would be free of lessons the following day 'cos Mimi, Ai Ping and I almost slept through the whole Lit Lecture the next day!)


First on the agenda for Duc's birthday was the Amazing Race. Duc wasn't suppose to know which one of us were at which station so we had to hide from him while he does what he is supposed to do. So after Duc completed his task at Bedok Corner which was to ride a toy horse (you know, those rides where you have to pay 10 cents, except that this one doesn't stop!), spank the horse's butt, take a photo of himself doing that and bluetooth it to Charlie Brown and Arron (who will be hiding nearby), he had to travel to Eastpoint, according to the clue that the previous station masters gave him, and take a photo of himself with a packet of condoms at NTUC Fairprice. Ai Ping and I (together with Jerome) waited AGES for him to turn up and we were hiding behind the placards and advertisements at the OCBC outlet nearby. When Duc finally arrived, he walked around aimlessly for 5429856435 years before Jerome had to "bump into him coincidentally" to help him locate where the condoms were (...)

while waiting for Duc to clear Pet Safari...



While Duc moved on to Pet Safari to take a photo of himself with some cats' toys, the 3 of us decided to head to KFC for a breather. All this while, we managed to keep our identity unknown and it almost failed when Jerome suddenly remembered that he told Duc that Charlie Brown is at KFC! Immediately after he said that, we saw Duc walking towards us and we panicked...HAHAHA! My first instinct was to seek refuge in the KFC girls' toilet while Ai Ping and Jerome ran of to God-knows-where. Thank God he didn't see us! :D:D

Only after I messaged Duc to go to Parkway Parade, where Eugene and Mimi would be waiting, to find his birthday kueh, did Ai Ping and I finally breathed a sigh of relief...'never knew it could be so tiring to monitor someone's movements while hiding!

By the time both of us reached Mimi's house, it was around 7 plus at night and Duc was still not done with his station yet (...). Olivia and Matthew were there since 4pm. For the finale of the Amazing Race, all of us (Charlie Brown, Arron,Mimi, Eugene, Olivia, Matthew, Ai Ping and I) gathered at the multi-storey carpark nearby to watch Duc pole dance at the basketball court. Erm,let's just say he did it with much gusto....heh heh...




Had Tom Yam Steamboat/BBQ prepared by Mimi's family member. Super shiok man! Hmm....wait 'till you see the photos! However, it was quite anticlimax when the glass table,holding the steamboat and everything else,gave way and we had to clean up all the glass fragments and food remains. (Thank God this happened after we have eaten man...)

Then we made Duc do a fashion show to the tune of "Barney" in his Red FBT (which was our present to him!), wearing Mimi's flats and a hula-hoop dance to "Powerpuff Girls" followed by what was supposed to be a sensual dance with the dining chair table to "Sexyback" (yeah...) SUPER FUNNY!!! We were all on our knees,laughing and begging him to stop!!!

Next was the standard birthday cake ceremony and the presenting of the gifts: G2000 shirts, keychain that vibrates, red FBTs,slippers, hula hoop...


Examining the birthday cake...

Unrevealed 'till photo is taken


Photo says it all...




Duc with his presents!




After Matthew, Arron and Eugene left ('cos they couldn't sleep over), we watched "Without a Paddle" and "Little Britain". Halfway through "Little Britain", my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier and within seconds, I knocked off. I was not the worse 'cos Duc retired after the first movie and Ai Ping was next after a while. Charlie Brown, Mimi and Olivia stayed up to paint Duc's toenails (part of the agenda!). Last person to sleep was Mimi (half an hour before we had to wake up!)

Best part was when Duc woke up to the sight of his toenails all painted a pretty pink! HAHAHA!!! Still, he was sporting enough to let us do makeup on his face after that! (He really looks like a transvestite man!)


"What?!?! You painted my toenails?!!"


adding the final touches...

'Off to Lit Lecture after that. I really tried VERY hard to stay awake...but it was all worth it. :D

'Was thinking about Choir again recently and Ai Ping and I agreed that it was one of the best decisions we ever made...the friendships forged during this period was more than I could ask for and the Juniors (Well, some of them...) are really nice. Speaking of which, I have to mention that Arron is really nice 'cos he gave all of us bookmarks from Mini toons that night, which was really unexpected!
