this post is late.... because i was busy with my schoolwork. Everything is so chaotic during the first few weeks of school. i would like to share how i spent my birthday. although it was not my dream party but I have learnt to appreciate. this was a surprise party. when mummy brought me to united square, i smelt something fishy because we went there like less than a week ago. However, i tried very hard to act blur. Ha ha.....well, mummy is not familiar with united square so she asked directions from someone working in one of the shops, "where is Swensens?". immediately, suspicion filled my mind. I was asking myself, why would mummy bring me to Swensens when she did not know the place? i was thinking of a reason while mummy held my hand and dragged me into the lift. suddenly, the answer popped up in my mind. it was my birthday!!! Could it be a surprise party? a cheeky smile appeared on my face. mummy saw my smile and asked, "what's up with that smile?" i replied, "nothing much..." but there was another question, who would be attending the party?i was going to find out soon as i made a sharp left turn. unexpectedly, i saw Winnie sitting at the table alone... i had confirmed that this was surely a party that was organized for me. i felt very honoured. one by one, the people came. after all the waiting, everyone was finally sitted at the tables..... Zac, Hui ling, Berlinda, Peili, Sharon, Madeline, Anna and Winnie.we each ordered our favourite food. i ordered my all time favourite - SALMON. i waited and waited and waited (x100). the service was slow, i meant VERY slow.... disappointing. my stomach was growling louder at the count of every minute. i thought the waiter will hear my growling soon. just when i was going to burst my anger, the food finally came. the waiter was lucky to get away with that!!!once i brought the salmon into my mouth, my anger vanished into thin air. THE SALMON WAS DELICIOUS!!! i love it.... i wolfed down the food quickly while enjoying the taste. after the foodie period, i wanted to open one of the presents. i decided to open Zac's present. guess what? it is a uno stacko and a set of uno cards. i got a pencil case filled with candies from Maddy. it was a memorable birthday for me. i understood that it is not about how you celebrate it but it is all about enjoying yourself.
