It's finally the last week of uni, and as we do every sem around this time, everyone is still reeling from the shock of the realisation that the sem has flown by and we are one sem closer to graduation, and exams are just around the corner.
Regardless! A birthday is a birthday, and we made sure to celebrate them, exams or not.
First it was Kye Li's surprise party. It was so fun to surprise her, like seriously! Why don't we do it more often? First we went to her and Kitmun's place while she was out having dinner with Jia Hao, and the whole group was there, including a few new people. We had to discuss exactly how to surprise her. We hid all our shoes, bags and jackets. Then we took out the lightbulbs at the front door. Then we made very sure that when we were at our hiding places, we wouldn't be visible from the front door or reflected in the windows! Were we meticulous or what. ;)
When she was just outside, we were deathly quiet. Then when she came in, we jumped out as soon as we saw her, and boy was she surprised! Hahaha. It was so fun! :)
We were also so sweet, everyone wore green because it's her favourite colour. Shanice even went out to buy a new green top just for it. :)
Green according to gradients!
L-R: Shanice, Miao Jie, Carmen, Kitmun, Isabella, Joanne, me
Had a cake for her, which looked like a chocolate wantan. Hahah.
The chocolate wantan.
Cutting cake!
Party hats. Haha.
Later had the drinking session, with Baileys, Midori, Malibu, Vodka and one more I can't remember. Played the first game, which was a note would be stuck on your forehead and you had to guess what word on the note was.
I tell you, when Keith started sticking all the notes on everyone's forehead, I was like o.O! When I saw what was stuck on Ray's forehead, I swear everyone burst out laughing. Because it read: Retarded. Hahahah.
Well, I fared only slightly better, because I got Ugly. Like wth right!! Hahaha. I told Keith I'd kill him if he stuck a bad one on me, and later he tried to pacify me by saying the words were opposite of what each person got. For example, Jia Hao was Pretty and Roger was Stupid (and he's a tutor!). So I was pacified, and Keith lives on. Hahah.
It was really funny when they were asking questions to try to guess their words. Roger asked the funniest questions:
"Guys, if you went out to pick girls up, would you bring me along?"
to which the guys replied "Yeah definitely!"
"Girls, would you like me?"
to which some of us went "Yes" and the others went "No". Hahah.
And he thought his word was Gay. Lol!
Sitting around with the notes on our heads.
I missed "Sexy" by one person! Hahah.
After that, played Ring of Fire, another drinking game. It was hilarious because we banned so many words, like "Drink" and "You". And John couldn't smile because it was a rule, and he ended up trying not to smile out of habit even when the rule was lifted. Then after tahan-ing for a while, he'd be like, "EH WTH I can laugh now.. HAHAHAHA".
Half of us left around 1am to catch the tram home, but ended up having to walk anyway. I heard the rest continued playing charades which were also very fun until 3am. Hahah.
Last Saturday, we celebrate Li's birthday. She invited us for a formal dinner at her college, where we attended mass there before the dinner. It was my first time in such a traditional, Catholic mass before, complete with the pipe organ and priests in robes and pews. I was quite awed at everything, and scared at how serious everyone was, and curious as to how everything ran. Haha. A good experience. :)
Next we had drinks in the courtyard, where we took a lot of photos together.
The birthday girl and Manrou!
Camwhoring!
Li and her guests.
Looking very pretty. :)
I like this pic, Manrou! :)

Rose and I.
Then we had the dinner. The food was nice. But halfway through the main course, there were speeches, and I noticed that everyone stopped eating while the speech was given, so I stopped eating too. And the speech went on for at least half an hour to an hour! By then we were stealing small bites whenever we could, trying not to make any noise in the process, though that was hard. By the time the speeches ended, my food was cold. :(
Entree.
Main.
Dessert.
Joanne, looking so cute here, with the balloons and all :)
As the namecard says: Manrou, FFK King, and me. :p
