Okay, Duar's thing. Well it's not really his party, more of a 'Surprise YL-BDAY' party. Yeah, Ying and the gang planned this surprise party thing for me. I mean they even had a plan bout how they're going to surprise me as soon as I got there and blah. Haha. Really sweet! The plan was supposed to be me going to swimming gala and then going to Duar's place along with the rest. But as usual, things don't go as planned.

So I woke up at like 9 because ying gave me a ring and asked whether i was going to swimming gala. So naturally, especially in the morning, I just gave this 'I'm sleep. I don't wanna go' response and told ying I didnt wanna go and I'll just go for Duar's thing afterwards. And as usual, Ying yelled at me but then Tzern called me later at about 10.30 and asked whether I was going. He was all like "WHAT?! You're not coming?!" Yeah, just because he had to hitch a ride from me to Duar's place. Yeah so me being the friend I was, got my ass outta bed to pick Tzern from school and Sumay from her place. But I didnt know the guys went to swimming gala too so Tzern ended up going to Duar's place with them and I picked Sumay up from her place. So, 'YL go Swimming Gala With Everyone', first part of the plan failed. xD

Later on! Reached Duar's place before the guys got back! So had to wait. Ying, Sumay and I had to go the mamak stall to wait for them. Met Jermin and Liangjin there first. "LIANGJIN!!HEHEHEHE." Then the rest got back and we went down to the pool. And Ying met Jien from disneybuzz. She even texted me! Because she and Sumay went off first since me and the rest of the guys, a.k.a. Tzern, Jermin, Liangjin, Junkit, Tzechiang and Alvin were still at the mamak stall to finish off our cho tai di game so we went down later. I didn't believe it at first, thinking it was some joke and she was just crapping. But it turned out to be real. HAHA! So anyway, second part of plan, 'Everyone Reach Before Package' failed. 'Package' meaning me. xD

And the main thing that ruined their surprise plan was the heavy rain that they didnt think would happen. According to plan, if it wasn't raining and they had all reached before me, they would push me down the pool ( i think it would've been more of a grab one limb of yingling everyone and haul her into the pool ) as soon as I reach the stairs leading down to the pool. But it was starting to rain and I got there before Duar and the rest did. As soon as we reach the pool, it was starting to drizzle. So everyone was just bummed about it, especially Duar who was all like frowning and stuff since his party is sorta ruined because of the rain. We decided that there was nothing to do but to wait for it to stop. Junkit, Duar and Tzechiang went out to the rain to get our pizzas!! haha. So they got back, pizza pizza again. Yatie and Dayana came soon after!! I actually ran out into the rain to hug them before they could even reach us. Hehe.

The guys then decided there was no more thunder or lightning and went down to swim. But I didnt bring extra clothing cause I thought I wouldn't have the mood to get into the water, so I had to wait for Duar to come down with a shirt for me. Ying already changed while I was waiting and when I got up to show Yatie and Dayana where the toilets were, the guys took ying ( yes each one holding one limb ) and carried her and tossed her in! I was watching from above so I didnt miss it! hehehehe. So got changed and then went down. Kendrick was the only guy that wasn't wet/not in the pool yet. So we decided to go in together since everyone else were already in the pool.

While we were in the pool, I was kinda wondering where Yatie and Dayana went since we went down together but they hadn't gone in yet but I kinda forgotten bout it when someone dunked me. Hmmm. And while I was like swimming about or whatever, I think i was talking to someone, Yatie and Dayana appeared with a cake with candles and all, with the guys with them, those that weren't in the pool anyway and they ALL started singing happy birthday! I knew there was a cake but didn't know they were gonna do the cake thing today!( note later for explanation of how i knew bout it heh ) It was tiramisu by the way. So I got out of the pool to blow the candles out. It was really sweet of them! My guard helped took group pictures of us which I'll take from Yatie soon and post them up on Multiply. Soon enough we were smearing each other with cream from the cake. I think there are pictures of me with cream smeared across my forehead and cheeks. Have to get Yatie! That wasn't all! After the cake, I thought there wasn't going to be anything else but Sumay appeared with a box! The box that I saw her bring in to my car when I picked her up and when questioned was answered "Duar's thing that he wanted me to bring over". I can't believe I didnt suspect anything! So anyway, she came with the box and I opened it. I couldnt guess what it was when opening it, I mean what could be in a box like that?! When i took it out of the box, it was the ferris wheel musical box that I had wanted for like 2 years now! She got me the multicoloured one!! THANKS SUMIEEE! So gave her a hug and also the rest for the cake and singing. It was truly a kodak moment! The whole singing thing! I actually almost cried! I love you guys!!

Then we all started hanging out and playing around the pool like any usual Duar party. In between jokes and updating from everyone bout their lives and blah. I mean like those exKDU-ians like me. Kaychung, Dayana and Jermin. Too bad Yanmae wasn't there but she gave me a ring and was all like apologising for the being able to make it. It's kay Ah MAee! Hehe. So the usual balloon fights. Everyone was into it! And also pouring chilled drinks on people. Hehe. It was really a blast! I wished the rest of you were here! Rest being those who couldnt make it and also one who couldnt stay long enough for it! Yeah, Alvin had tuition so he only stayed till like 3. Mel had tuition as well but her bro came down and joined us. Mel came down as soon as she finished her tuition though! Dayana got me chocolate! They were really nice! And of course I shared them with everyone. Thanks DAYANA! Time went by really fast and I mean really fast. I enjoyed myself alot! and I think everyone else did as well. It was good to see Kaychung, Dayana and Jermin since I couldnt see them in school anymore. I also didnt get the chance to see Liangjin during my visit to KDU. Then we all headed to change and shower and went to mamak! Sumay, Kendrick, Jermin, Yatie, Dayana and Alvin had already left by then. Just chilled. It had been a while since I just sat at a table with everyone, just having conversations and playing chor tai di. I was sitting there, sipping on by teh ais and wondering how in hell would I survive when I have to go back to UK in September. I'm going to sob my eyes out.

Back to my explanation, I found out bout the cake because Ying texted my sister to ask me what cake I like since they were gonna get one for me. And my sis being herself, didn’t delete the message after Ying told her to so I was being all kepo, wanting to see how my sister sms her friend, checked her inbox and saw Ying’s messages in there and curiously opened it and read it. Whoops, sorry guys! I really didn't know!! But I didn't know that they were going to do it today so it was kind of a surprise! But I love you guys for doing it.

Anyway, thanks Nicholas for having the whole party thing at your place and also your effort along with Weijuinn’s for planning the whole surprise plan. Thanks Weijiunn! Before we went to mamak, Weijiunn passed me few papers that were clipped together. They were sketches of the landmark and how they were gonna surprise me by hiding behind trees and grabbing me to push me down the pool and all, layout and stick figures and all. There were also guest lists and surprise plans. There were two plans!

Plan A
Surprise Style
Hydrogen Ballons (do ya guys mean helium??)
People waiting behind trees
BBQ party/fast food
Push Ling in pool
Football

Plan B
Surprise Wild Style
Balloons (filled with water)
Fastfood/BBQ
Ling gets pushed down
Hide and Seek

Rules : Everyone must arrive before the package. (package being me)

I was really overwhelmed when I read through it. They had put in a lot of effort in it and I thank you two for doing so! And of course I have to thank Ying who planned the whole thing and suggested to have it at Duar’s place. You know I didn't know that Duar had the party to have this surprise party for me. I thought it was just like the usual Duar Party. No wonder he was stressed out when it was raining and Junkit refused to take my money to pay for the pizzas. Thanks YING!!! Also thanks to Yatie who got the cake! ( Ying paid for it but Yatie got it from the shop) You know how they got the cake passed me without me noticing!? Ying, Sumay, Duar and Junkit were heading to Duar’s place to get something and they met Yatie and Dayana on the way so Junkit took one of Duar’s towels and covered the box and brought it to where the rest of us were. I was talking to someone and too excited to see Dayana to notice Junkit was even holding a towel! And I didn't question about it when they placed it together with the drinks and Sumay’s flipflops were above the towel. I thought it was someone’s bag under. But thanks guys! It was really well done. I didn't suspect a thing!

Thanks all for making it! Sumay, Tzern, Alvin, Jermin, Liangjin, Kaychung, Jianwai, Tzechiang, Dayana, Yatie, Weijiunn, Kendrick, Junkit, Melody who came late but still! And of course our host, Nicholas!! And my lovely cousin, AH YING! Thanks sooo much. I had a great sweet sixteen party and I really have to thank you guys for it. For being so planned and making sure everything was kept as a surprise, like hiding my cake and pretending and all. I LOVE YOU GUYS!! THANKS SOOOO SOOOO MUCHHH!

Okay, that was a really long post. I hadnt even type finish everything that's in my head. Haha. Pictures will be up soon.

Much love, yingling.
