Yan Ting's 21st

Pictures will come in at a later time.


Yan Ting's 21st had been planned since November last year when the idea of giving her a surprise suddenly popped up in my head.


Being all excited, I started carrying out all the plans with Shi Yun and Jia Ying.


The first move was to get Yan Ting's bf, Lincoln's, number. We intended to ask Lincoln to ask Yan Ting out on her actual birthday or the day after and bring her to our BBQ pit at East Coast where a group of us will be ready to celebrate and create a memorable 21st birthday for her.

Somehow, things did not go according to plan. Firstly, Yan Ting's family, cousins and poly friends could not make it. Then Lincoln sent in a bad news of having night duty on the BBQ date. Immediately we activated Plan B. That is to ask her out and discreetly bring her to our pit.


On the actual day, Jia Ying and I went to get some food and drinks before we headed to BBQ Wholesale to collect the food. It was a disaster. There were far too many food for us, the 2 poor girls. No taxi in sight and rain was falling mercilessly.

A sms came in.
"Yan Ting is sick."


I thought I heard the thunder roared when I read that message. A surprise birthday party with no birthday girl is not a birthday party at all.

I called her immediately and was forced to tell her that we had a surprise for her and asked her to try to come if she felt better later on.

With the food and rain, Jia Ying and I finally managed to hail a cab and get to East Coast. The problem was then to get to the BBQ pit that we had no idea where it was. Walking a long stretch along the coastline of East Coast, we almost dropped dead and finally saw Shi Yun with the holy ring above her head(exaggerating a bit here). =P With the help of Shi Yun, we finally managed to get to our pit and the journey took us a whole hour.

As people came, we had to break the bad news of the birthday girl being sick and not being able to come. Then someone decided to give her a call and trick her to get to the pit.

It worked, she came in spite of not feeling well. The party ended soon after she went home and thanks god it was all well.

This morning, Jia Ying came over to my house where we started to make the photo album for Yan Ting. Photos and album all ready except for captions and decorations. We spent almost 4 hours to make the album and I sent it to Yan Ting's place in the evening. I have no idea whether she has saw the album or not yet as I haven't receive anything from her.

I really hope that she likes the surprise. =)
