Currently Playing: Passing By by Zero7

Midnite: received happie birthdae smses from squid (1st one), someone possibly significant, someone insignificant, and my YEP nurse. nice of her to rem :-)

Morning: got more smses, with a esp meaningful one from someone unexpected. went for the paper.

Afternoon: a few more SMSes here and there. but totally none so far from a particular group - which nv fails to turn up somewhere with a cake (no matter how cheapo).

Aha! i put 2 and 2 together and deduce they must hv pretended to "forget" my bdae... and will show up to surprise me! i play it cool.

qz, alw and sop jio me to study at their table... hmm... they know that i study with them... could these 3 be in the plot too, and want to keep an eye on me? i take their offer.

i eye them suspiciously everytime they start sms-ing furiously. reporting my whereabouts to particular ppl? they leave the table now and then... sop keeps asking when we'll be eating dinner. *wink wink*

Evening: I look up anytime someone walks near our table, preparing to look unsurprised when the familiar faces pop up. i even plan to ask nonchalantly "when's ur next paper?" even though they grad liao. of coz to act cool on seeing them in sch when they dun hv a good reason to be here (but actually they do)

can't settle down to study. i wonder out loud whether i shd go home early in an attempt to set off alarm bells from sop and qz. they try to convince me to stay on to study. ok then. *wink*

Can't wait for the surprise liao. hungry, wanna eat dinner. anyway sop or qz will update them on my whereabouts. chit chat, even came upon the subject of birthday sabos. still looking out for anyone approaching the table.

After dinner, alw and sop say they are tired, and want to go back early. hmm. maybe they weren't in the plot after all. ok then, i want to watch survivor anyway.

on the mrt, sop wishes me... after a good 8 hrs of studying out together. hahah. i mention that some ppl hvn't yet, and sop jokingly suggests she sms them asking why. i tell her not to, they probably want to be the last to wish me, or maybe hv some surprise planned.

After survivor. still nothing. maybe they really want to make it last minute, to gimme a good scare. hahaha... hmm... previously on one of their birthdaes i drove, picked everyone up one-by-one and went to her place to give her a surprise... are they going to do that? well no one else drives... i hope they're not going to ask me to pick them all up are they??? or maybe they'll show up and hope that i drive them all home... i dunno leh. kinda tired...

wait a minute. do they know how to get here? not all of them come before...

midnite. 1am. nothing. hmmm.


An event...
which turns out to be a non-event...
is an event in itself after all.
