Surprise!!
This is the face that summarizes how I feel on the 2nd June.
For those who are still wondering why I was so happy on that particular day is because a certain someone came to visit me.
~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
The story starts like this. I was supposed to pick my best friend’s friend, Ai Ling and her mom from the airport. She will be studying in Auckland and she will be staying at the student apartments just next to mine. She was also bringing stuffs for me from home. e.g jackets, shoe and spices.
~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
She told me to pick her up at 10.00 am (malaysian time) so that will be around 2pm in New Zealand. So I decided to wake up around 10 to have my breakfast and get ready to go to the airport. As it was my first time going to the airport alone and I’m taking public transport over there. So earlier better lar.
~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
When I woke up at 10am, my handphone rang. It was a sms. I was thinking to myself "don’t let this be Ai Ling". She might have got the arrival time wrong and she is already here. I read the sms and it WAS AI LING. She have already arrived and waiting for me.
~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
I put on my clothes, grab my jacket, rush to the toilet, brush my teeth, wash my face and zoom out to the main road near my place. I ran to the nearest bus stop and waited for the bus that goes to the airport. I was like, this is bad…this is bad…I’m late. I never like to be late. Furthermore people come here for the first time and help me to bring my stuff over and I make them wait.
~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
As I waited for the bus, I tried to sms back Ai Ling. The message was not sent because I ran out of credit. WHAT A TIME TO RUN OUT OF CREDIT! I was like FUCK! When the bus arrived, I was so relieved. Half way through there was a call from Eugenie(I gave Eugenie’s no. just incase Ai Ling cannot get me). She said Ai Ling has arrived and she is waiting for me in McD. I was like aiyohhhh shit lar…so late already.
~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
As the bus reached the airport, I ran and ran towards the arrival terminal and looked for McD. I was looking for a young girl with her mom and I could not see them. As I look somemore, I saw my bag. My blue bag that I told my best friend to bring for me. The girl sitting there has her back facing me. So I thought to myself that should be Ai Ling. Where is her mom anyway? Maybe she is walking around the airport or something since I made them wait.
~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
As I approached the girl and got ready to ask her whether she was Ai Ling. I saw a face that is oh so so so familiar.
~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
Yes! My best friend, Kimberly is here! She came here for a holiday and also here to celebrate my 21st birthday with me. How sweet of her!! She planned this all along since February. I was just so happy, speechless and I needed to sit down. And then…….you can see my second reaction below..
~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
Then I realized. All my friends back home knew about it. Even friends in New Zealand. Eugenie knew, Pam(my housemate) knew, my whole family KNEW and more. I was the only dumb ass that have no idea at all. Everything make sense now. The night before, Chee Foong and Lim Cheong make me suspected something was wrong. But I didn’t know what was coming. I thought that they might have got me some presents or something and Ai Ling was going to give it to me when she arrived. They told me not to be too suprised. Chee Foong even asked me to take some pills incase I get a heart attack. All the lies and betrayal I have to go through. But this is really really a memorable 21st birthday from you guys. I must admit that it was god damn well planned surprise. I thank all of you that took part and I will come back and kick all of your asses. Kidding. Muaks..Love u guys.
