Many October babies…
Monday, October 13th, 2008Haiz, dunno why there are many October babies around. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 24th…. Argh!!!!! Crazy liao!!!!! I know lar, this must be because the parents believe October babies are smart, muahahha…
Well, seriously there are really many uni friends’ birthdaes fall in October. It is a headache to actually think of how to organise birthday plans. Luckily I do not organise for all, hehe… However I have been a generous giver as I share some of the presents, hahaha…
For my birthday, their plan was to make me emo lar, pretend to forget my bdae then treat me a $0.50 McD ice-cream! Somemore each person contributes 10 cents only! Like this oso can, haha.. but not bad lar, just interesting. Got a shock from my OG freshies, they were really good in acting! Haha… I was shocked and touched at the same time! Hahaha… Thanks Thanks… I din really expect for a celebration at that time..
For my friend, Kee Jin’s, birthday, since the emo trick was used, I decided to give him some small small little presents before giving him the real thing. So we bought key and lock, some motivational cards, paper clips and printed out a budget template from my church website. The key is the symbol of becoming an adult d, and the lock was meant for his future wife.. Remember the ‘Key and Lock Mechanism’ which we have learnt in Biology? Yes, it is symbolic to say that they are meant for each other. There is another underlying joke, hahaha, which I have seen it from a sex education video. How the key and lock are linked to sex education, this one I let you all to go imagine or research, hahaa….
The motivational cards are for him to keep, one of them is full of loves, to represent the love from all the cell group members to him. The paper clips is to say that though now he is 21 years old, he still has to study. Whereas for the budget is to say that he now has to be responsible for his own financial management.
All these presents were just symbolic items. The actual present was given during the celebration itself. So we wrapped it in light pink barbie wrapper, wanted to kacau him a bit, haha, cz so not appropriate. And when he looked at the New Balance box, he was delighted! Just that when he opened the box and saw Adrian’s old smelly shoes, he was super stunned. Hahaha!!!!! And we were telling him we were short of budget, that’s why giving him this. Luckily Kee Jin wasn’t too stupid either, for he just couldn’t believe this happenning to him, so we showed him the real ones! Wow, New Balance shoes le!!!!! Yeng liao lor… Hahahha…
So ya, it was quite fun. Soon my life returns to the usual one and now though exam is coming soon I am still slacking around. And I have projects and assignments and activities, argh… die liao… hahhaha….
Anyways hopefully I can face the future challenges as a strong person lar… ya…
