Memorabilia: Birthday Goodbye!

It's a sunny Thursday morning as I tumble sideways of my comfortable bed.

As I open the bedroom door, I was greeted by the groans of the vacuum machine. Of all the days, my parents chose this holiday for Spring Cleaning!

As I was making my way downstairs to the kitchen for some breakfast, another sound joins the scene,
the sound of a wet mop going slush slush splat! Fantabulous.

Today's menu: Chapathi! Yumm~ home made. My dad's curry has got to be one of the best!

Anyway, as the day progressed I needed to get ready for a party. Jin Yang's! He's off to New Zealand soon for a loooong time and its his birthday today so his bff's Carmen and Shinyee decided to just throw him a 2 in 1 combo party!

So I head over to Summit with Mee Ling at about 11.30, we thought we could just pop in and get the pot luck food, and pop out and get to Carmen's house by 12pm in time for the party. Alas, after buying gummytapes and Jin's present, it was already 5 to noon.

We took a RapidKL bus to get to Carmen's house which was in USJ11. Alas, with me there, Mee Ling and I managed to lose ourselves somewhere at car garage workshops, near flats I never knew existed, Finally we ended up near Good Year Court 9. During the bus ride Mee Ling kept insisting to bukak the sourtapes we bought in Summit for the potluck earlier. Good think I stopped her! So we decided to ditch the bus before we got even more lost. After walking in no particular direction for a few minutes I realized we were near USJ9's masjid. From there it was a piece of cake for Mee Ling to lead me the rest of the way.

Finally as we reach Carmen's house all sweaty. We enter to behold.. a packed house filled with guys and the aircon wasn't on! Mee Ling joined her girl friends while I huddled up with the guys. The girls for some reason were having a comfortable time on sofa's while us guys had to sit like thus:

Upon arrival, all guests were also asked to leave their cellphones on table for whatever reason which still avoids me till this very second.

Behold RM14,000++ worth of mobile electronics

We were somewhat entertained by Carmen's Little sister Jane! Adorable little girl. Fierce at threatening at first. Threatened to hit those who misbehaved in her house with a slipper!

The master plan of the day was to surprise Jin Yang because he had No idea the party was this big. He thought it was just a simple farewell party of five people or less. So we were forced to keep quiet while sitting on the floor like orang banduan mana je.. then everytime someone comes Carmen wud be like:

"Shh! He's here!"

Everyone becomes quiet

Carmen walks out the door while we wait in suspense...

Carmen comes back!

"Ahh sorry! False alarm! It was just Tarrence"

BOO.

That same thing kept on being repeated for several times till all the guests were restless and tired of having to be quiet! Why did Jinny have to be such a party pooper!

FINALLY.

After countless minutes! Jin Yang arrives!

So he walks in blindfolded. Shin guided him to sit on this stool made for hobbits. As soon as he sits down, on the count of 3.. blindfold gets removed, we all yell out HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Afterwards everyone helped themselves to some food. And here's a note to all of you who ever wish to make a pot luck party...

NEVER do it if it's only teenagers! They NEVER bring real food!

All we had to eat were a bunch of potato chips.. twisties.. potato chips.. and did I mention potato chips?? Luckily SynNa ordered pizza! It was gone in 3 seconds! While waiting for additional orders of pizza to arrive, Carmen's mom served nuggets and drummets. We also poured all the potato chips into a casserole to make assorted chips which served as better convenience for a bunch of guys to stuff their faces full of chips.

Among the hustle and bustle, I proposed to have some fun eating!
So what do you get when you (Me + Sourtape + Jinyang)

???

And if you're wondering.. I lost :(

Then Shiva started to get nifty with the guitar and me and Jian Wai's creative juices started flowing and we made up our own lyrics and sang our own copyrighted song.

"Hey There Jinny-Yang!"

Hey there Jinny Yang,
now you're going to New Zealand.
You're a few metres away,
But you look so pretty yes you do~.
I can never camwhore as good as you!
My word is true!

Okay after that catastrophe was over, we decided to enjoy a movie. Movie of choice: SAW IV. So everyone huddled up again and to get ready for the movie. A gross one. Even poor little Jane had to cover her face with a pillow and soon went running to the kitchen calling "Mommy!!"

Before the movie, everyone looked rather jolly:

After the movie though, most of our faces looked rather long because the move was Boring.

Soon after, some of us trooped outside to have some fun in the sun. Perfect decision I'd say. It was a perfect day! We had some sing-a-longs by the day's featured guitarist:

T.T.J.W.

Soon Shiva started putting on some techno tunes. And hey, what the hell, I suddenly got happy feet and well... Here's a tribute to all shuffler's! Don't get offended now xP

Wookeeeyh...

and as you all know, what are parties without pictures?? And as the Birthday Boy is a camwhore, do as he does!

Lol and Ken Yoong wore a misleading shirt.

After that, I had enough of old boring poses! time to get creative! So we start doing some odd poses like pyramids?? and some classic still airborne still life!

All Hail the Birthday Boy!

Jinny looks like he's having some quality men surfing there!

Next the Hostess deserved a raise!

My turn next!

Gasp! I was also caught red-handed.. or should I say both-handed in the act of my dastardly deeds..

After that we had some nice long chit chat sessions. Some singing and stretching hours on end. Then it was time for the cake!

Yum! And outta 3 strawberries, i got One!

On normal occasions, people who are about to blow their candle'd cake look like this!

But who said Jinny was normal?

We all managed to get a slice each. Some thinner than others thanks to ShinYee's precision slicing.

Then we went back outside and the day was looking gloomy as it started to progress :(

Thus we lay there, under the bayou . Lazing around savouring Jin Yang's last moments with us before he finally forsakes his country. We end up playing youngster games like london bridge sep sep bom bom, and other games which were alike.
