Hey, No Sneaky....Sneaky No Likey!

I guess I've underestimated the sneakiness of my parents on more than one occasion but this tops everything off. I was about to go out for lunch and a movie with my best bud Yvonne. But as soon as I got into the car, I was made to close my eyes as she said there was something planned for me. Naturally, I thought it was something my friends planned. Little did I know, my parents with the help of my CG Members...organized a huge surprise birthday party for me!! It was really amazing because first of all, I never expected it and I actually planned to have a party the coming week. My parents were so good at keeping the secret that when I went to get some party supplies for the supposed party, they nicely played along. However, I wasn't completely free of suspicion as I actually discovered an SMS sent by my friend to my mum last week. When I asked her (Yvonnes), she made up a very good story.

Needless to say, it was probably the best (surprise!) party I ever had and I felt really blessed that all of my friends made the effort to come with the exception of a few people because my mum didn't invite them. Having a wishlist really works because I actually got part of what I wished for. So people, next time your birthday comes around, write one out and post it on your blog! Thank you guys for making the effort to come to the party, for showing your care and for the wonderful presents. I wouldn't be who I am today without your constant support and prayer.


Thank you CG for the new bag!! I really wanted something big to take to University and I'm glad you got me what you did. Thank you Hannah for the Tiffany bracelet. It looks nicer than the Tiffany & Co. one and I'll be sure to bring it with me when I go away to the States. Thank you Chin for taking the time to go out and get that Jazz CD for me. I love it! Thanks Ps. Moy How and family for taking the time to attend my party and for the gift of books. Also, I want to thank all the other Uncles and Aunties who gave me ang paus...I won't be broke for a long time. Another big thank you to Uncle Alfred and Aunty Helen for conspiring with me in getting the phone! But most of all, thank you mum and dad for giving me the best celebration I ever had and for taking the time to plan the party for me.
