YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

My birthday was over 13 hours ago.

Yesterday at around 1.40pm I received a call from Donovan. He told me to reach the MRT at 2.

He was laughing and laughing while talking. I asked curiously, and he said he was watching TV.

I was late in the end. Then when I reached there I only saw Jiaqi and Tian Wei. Talked for a very short while, and suddenly the guys + Jiani suddenly popped up behind me and gave me the presents, cards, and stuff.

But, I realised that Zong Qin was not there. So being curious I asked them where he is. They said he will be late.

That was a reasonable answer, because Zong Qin is seldom late, but if he is late, he will be damn late. Like 1 hour late or something.

And so we heck cared him first, and proceeded to Gelare.

Nothing was amiss.

While walking across the zebra crossing, at the corner of my eye I saw our dear Hong Kiat suspiciously tried to get closer to me. His actions were a bit cute, like a small excited kid running to his dad or something.

So I was a bit curious (again), and asked Hong Kiat what he was doing, why did he try to get close to me. He was like "no nothing 没有 la"

Then at this moment I realised something was strange, and quickly turned and shouted loudly,"你们要做东西! "

True enough, I saw Zong Qin about a metre from me, trying to force me to wear the "advertisement board"

But in the end after their relentless and tireless persuasion, I wore it. And walked around Sun Plaza with my head down, expecting eggs or tomatoes to be thrown at me any moment.

And I was in the middle, they were walking beside me, like in the olden days escorting a prisoner to be executed or something.

I saw the people in Macs looking outside the window, and laughing like shit.

And so I wore it until we reached Gelare. Luckily it was not as crowded. If I were to parade at night I think I would get walloped by some buay song people.

We ate, and played cards also. Thanks for Choon Keat for treating me!

Then from some of them I learn that they were at the Sembawang Library making the board since 12pm.

And actually when Donny called me they were in the library. No wonder he was laughing.

Because, they purposely find all my xia suay photos and pasted on the board. Even me myself looked at it and thought it was funny.

I think one of the photos is at Tian Wei's blog. That 'wonderful' sister of mine said she went through her album and tried to find the most xia suay photo to post.

Wai Kuong said that there was a photo with JJ, and they CUT OFF JJ's face and only kept mine. If only they didn't do that, JJ will also have his face paraded around.

Anyway after eating we went to the arcade. Then we played the basketball thing. Choon Keat wanted to challenge. He said the loser will have to pump 20. Then he wanted to have practice, and so me, Hong Kiat and Jiaqi were beside him, watching him shoot and score like nobody's business.

Then, I secretly told Jiaqi, that if losing by a point means 20 pumping, I would have to do like 2000 pumpings.

Then she sabo-ed me by telling Choon Keat that we should count the pumpings by score. Wonderful.

So in the end we decided that, the difference in points divided by two, is the number of pumpings the loser have to do.

In the end I owed him 97. Which means I am 194 points behind him.

I thought at most I would only owe 50. How naive.

But I think he had forgotten about it already :P

After that we walked to a playground, then talked, crapped, and laughed at people.

Then, we went to Republic Poly to watch 'Arise Shine'

This is the first time I actually went to a concert. A concert where everything is peaceful and artistic.

During the rehearsal everything was not what I have expected, but I have to say that yesterday the performances by all the Performing Arts CCAs did well.

Especially the choir, during the rehearsal you hear mumblings. But yesterday the voices are clear, projected out. You can hear what they are singing. Class.

Maybe its also partly that I was sitting in the gallery during the rehearsal, and the 3rd row from the front during the concert. Or maybe the choir attire motivates the people. But all in all it was a great performance. UVPHS!

Luckily I had Jiaqi and Derek beside me so I didn't really feel sleepy. Derek entertained me with some funny and crap comments. Jiaqi gossiped with me.

By the way, when the green light shone on band, I was freaked out. It was like a town full of ghastly souls. Believe me, you wouldn't want to see the photo.

Can't take my eyes off you was cool.

Another CCA had a person standing at the back with light shining on her face.

Scary.

I was also dazzled by the Emcees' dazzling speech. But to be fair I thought they improved compared to during rehearsal. But the 'Jurong, Yishun, Yio Chu Kang' thing was a bit, dramatic.

Dance took up most of the second half of the concert. Walao, they really can stretch la. It's unfair that they can do this kinds of stunts.

I think it was me my back would have snapped and I will be on my bed for the rest of my life.

Anyway I thought I was quite lucky during the finale. Seating in the middle of everything. And in front

Anyway the concert ended after that, and we exited the theatre.

I was wandering around and talking to people. Then Jiaqi pulled me to one side. Donny also joined in. And we chatted.

Then I was looking for Zong Qin because he suddenly disappeared. Then I saw him at a corner doing something weird. Together with Yuhyan.

Then I walked over, Jiaqi and Donny desperately tried to held me back, but to no avail. Don even said, 'eh terence I tell you a secret'.

Every time I got tricked by him, every time I went over and the secret would be, "Eh you know, Terence Ong sucks".

So this time I walked over and surprisingly they took out a cake, and they sang a birthday song.

Apparently Chun Kiat and Wai Kuong went to buy a small cake during the period when we are watching the concert.

And according to tradition, I knew I cannot save my face. Apparently we like to smash cake on people's faces during birthday. So I surrendered. I took off my sweater, specs, and the things I am carrying.

Then they asked me to wish for something. I knew the moment I closed my eyes, my face would be covered in cream and chocolate.

WHAM! Donovan smashed it. I can taste the cake on my cheek with my tongue :P

After that we went to the toilet to wash up.

Then we walked to the MRT station. Halfway I thought the dance people would be walking the other way and so I said bye.

But after a few minutes they were still behind me and I ended up being lao kui.

And in the end they went to Causeway Point and we went to train home.

Me, Zhi Kai, Xavier, Juin Li, Zong Qin camped at Macs to watch football.

Zong Qin arrived late, while Juin Li came back from Causeway Point. JJ arrived later.

In the end me and JJ walked home together. As it was late I allowed to camp at my house.

Zong Qin that crazy guy said he will be walking home from Sembawang. So he rejected my offer.

I told him to sms me when he reached home. He did call JJ at 2.37am, but in the end the sms never came.

Hopefully he didn't get into trouble halfway and called JJ to ask for help.

In the end me and JJ watched Greece VS Sweden. Continuing the 'Football Marathon'. So we were up until 5 plus. Then we went online to watch some funny football, basketball, extreme sports.

In the end I cannot tahan and I slept halfway. Then he played dota and some other games.

Then I woke up at 7am because my mum came into the room. I think she made a cup of milo for him. Without sugar and condensed milk. Only the power and water. Shiok.

And we slept after eating breakfast. Don't be mistaken. I slept on the bed and he slept on the floor.

Talking about sleeping I am ready to collapse any moment.

Then we slept until 12, and I walked him to the MRT. Finally the long and eventful day is over!

The next post will be coming shortly, I will be thanking everyone for what they did and stuff.

On the last note thank you guys for everything you have done!
