Hi,
So it was my birthday two days ago… I guess I’m 20 years old now.
It’s strange, because I don’t really feel 20. I still like to have kid’s cereal for breakfast, donuts for lunch, Oreo McFlurrys with chocolate cake for dinner. I like to watch cartoons, play DS and pretend that I’m really good at yo-yos.
But I’ve got to say, this year was probably the best birthday ever. And that’s really impressive, because there are some really really “good” birthdays out there. Like the birthday where my mum invited my whole year 2 class over to my house for a birthday party, the time where my friend gave me a Pokemon cards booster pack and I got a Charizard card! Umm… and the time where I almost got all my friend run over by a speeding van.
Hhaha well as you can see my really really “good” birthdays weren’t that “good” LOL But this year’s was seriously the best. I know that recount blogs are excruciatingly boring, and that I suck at writing them, But this is more of a thank you blog to everyone who came and helped arrange my birthday party for me.
The day started like a normal Wednesday, which involved me being excited to see my friend Nam for our morning finance tutorial. Not knowing what was planed ahead, I had sent a whole bunch of text messages the night before, inviting people to Luna Park where I had planned to have my birthday party.
While we were listening to our tutor I had noticed that Nam was texting on his mobile phone alot that morning. And although I had found this strange, I shrugged it off, assuming that Nam had maybe gotten him self a girlfriend or something.
After the tutorial was over, we started to make our way back to the green. This is where I had asked everyone to meet before we would trek to Luna Park. However, Nam had paused and asked me to go to Market City with me to “check out this sale”. Not interested I said that I had already arranged to meet everyone out on the grass at eleven and that I was late. So we started to walk again. However this time, Nam had started to walk very slowly. Usually Nam would take his normally un-normal big strides and I would have to struggle to keep up. But today, he was loitering and shuffling his way.
When we had reached the green, we both sat down on the steps and decided to wait for everyone else to show up. After about half an hour passed, no body had shown up, and I had started to lose hope. And after about and hour had passed I started to get depressed. Even to the point where I had asked Nam to “screw everyone else, lets go drinking”.
Then Nam suggested that instead of waiting out on the grass, we should go the IT lounges. Tentatively, I agreed. We reached the door of the lounge where I had put in my pass key and…
SURPRISE!
Everyone was there with streamers and balloons and smiles.
Unfortunately, everyone who had arranged and attended this surprise party did not know that I did not have a “surprised face”. Where a normal person would have a surprised face that would look something like =0 or :0, my face looked at little like =/ or :s. Which confused everyone to think that I was upset or mad. I should probably take some kind of acting lessons…
But after this initial confusion, the party had gone under way where we all had stuffed our faces with the delicious food, lollies and CAKE. We then played duck duck goose and musical chairs, further proving why I don’t feel like I deserve to be 20 years old.
And all of this was made possible by all of my friends who attended and this girl.
Thanks for everything.
