A belated Celebration | Written by 【 Uniquely XC™ 】

Ahh finally, after a couple weeks of planning, it was finally the gathering before we all start school and go our separate subject combis. Since it was only 3 days after Matt's birthday, we decided to buy matt a cake and celebrate his birthday at my house as a surprise.

Meet up with wilfred and zhou quan at around 11am + (Supposed to be 10.40 but as usual, they were late -.-) Bought a blackforest cake from Bengawan solo and cabbed to my place, I know it is very near, but we were rushing for time. Reached my house in about 2 mins and since wilfred wanted to register for SMTP and KI test, zhou quan showed him the url. chatted awhile and ate some snacks from japan.

Wilfred tried to play starcraft *his first time* and was so noob that I was laughing with zhou quan as we watched him screw up *lol*

Went out again to the new pizza hut lot 1 for lunch, was so full after all the snack attack that we didnt really finish what we had order -.- Was a bit late, causing matt to wait for us at lot 1, cabbed again to my house since Randy was fast arriving.

I have to admit i was hopeless at preparing birthday cakes, in the end, it was zhou quan and wilfred who set up the candles while I cleaned the wax that had dripped -.-Matt made a wish and everyone had their slice of the cake with Zhou quan refusing to eat the cream as it was unheatlhy, but the last time i check, he ate it.

had some incessant argument about the colour blue, for more info, refer to randy or matt's blogs. Played badminton, wilfred was running all over the place, blatantly ignoring the line drawn to separate the right from the left, leaving such a small play area. Had to keep shouting to stop him from turning a 2v2 into a 2v1. Because of this and also due to the absence of a net (most of randy and matt's shots were below the net), we lost the match....

went back up after an hour or so and played xbox, Randy and Matt were absolutely HOPELESS at playing racing games, regardless of street racing of rallying. However, I am surprised by wilfred's skills, he is quite good considering it is his first time playing.

LOL, the last race of the day was the most comical, wilfred was leading me in the last lap and at the last corner there was a pole at the side of the track right before the finishing, having avoided it for the previous laps, wilfred hit the pole straight on, allowing me to whizz past him and win the race LOL!

Definitely one of the most enjoyable days of this holidays and I definiely hope to have such a gathering again, June hols perhaps?
