10:48 PM, Blow The Candles Out

Monday, June 8, 2009

Punctuality. What a word.

It paints a picture in my head of hot running water, alarm clocks, running back and forth in my room, the hunt for mismatched socks in cluttered wardrobes, cheesesticks (the breakfast).

Really, its inexplicable.

I've never been punctual in my whole fifteen years of life (note: im fifteen!).

What a strange introduction.
I shall just plunge into blogging about my special day.

Alright, lets rewind what happened.

The day before, an hour plus before midnight (i just showered from morning),

b called and we met up.

We headed to our pit stop, and she turned to me, grinning from ear to ear.

I did not know how to respond.

So i smiled, and touched my heart.

Once again, in that special way of hers, she's touched my heart with that candle

that was glowing in the middle of the place.

And so we sat by the cake, waiting for midnight to come.

And when the call came in for midnight, we lighted the candle, and i made a wish, then i blowed the candle and we lighted it again.

It went on and on, until we both collapsed, tired.

In the faint glimmer of the candle, and the hot night air, we sat smiling,

munching on the cookie cake.

B said hello to little miss sixties, and there- history was made.

The next day, i was sure my baats (fats/babats) were ecstatic when i ate that chocolate raspberry birthday cake the family had for me.

After which, i met up with b for my birthday.

We went to pamper my baats, just as she had said before, at max brenner's.

I had loads of chocs, wine (only b knows, cheh), and got a little tipsy.

Ok so maybe i got a little upset also because it was unsettling how her phone kept

beeping now and then.

Gr, b, i admit. I was upset because of that.

But there was something behind those beepings,

or like my mum always say, "Ada udang sebalik batu". Haha.

As night dawned, we headed to a place up there, somewhere.

As i tried my best to show her attitude for her continuous phone beeping (but i know i wasnt succeeding), i heard this shrill voice coming from behind.

I turned to glare, but suddenly the voice transported to my brain.

"Haaaaapy Biiiiiiiiiirthdaaaaaaay to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....."

And i tilted my head, like "who's this crazy bitch? who's sharing my birthday with me!".
I turned away, deciding to ignore, secretly jealous that someone else is going to be surprised by her friends on MY birthday.

As i harboured these feelings, the voice came on louder.

And louder.

And louder until it got too loud for me to ignore.

And when i turned again, there the singer is, standing right in front of me, with 2 people in tow.

She smiled, and i saw that i knew this person.

Ruz! And her sister! And haryani!

I did not know how to respond.

The shock, the amazement, the everything.

I turned to b, she was so nonchalant.

And they were all grinning expectantly at me.

And all i could say was,

"Apa nieee korang............" Hahaha.

So we proceeded to sing the song, blow the candles, eat the cake (heheh, again!), and then we opened the presents.

I got an mp4 from b which i looooove sooo much.

And a Box of Frogs too from Ruz! Yeah! Literally.

Hahaha, so funny. How did ruz know i wanted a frog soo bad eh?

And then after the whole thing, we went home and i felt this something in me,

like something glowing.

This has to be one of the best birthdays ever and i have b to thank

because i know she set all this up.

The continuous phone beepings?
It was ruz she was texting all along to plan everything. Haha!

Oh, and as i read through each of their letters when i got home,

only god knows how i was feeling.

I love you guys, all who spent time with me,

and also those who bothered to make an effort to acknowledge me with your wishes.

And thanks b, ily for everything.
