Vin's Bday: The After Thoughts

Well Im so Glad that it turned out so well... it was an event full of events...!! haha... well to tell u guys wat happened...

Basically it started with med and e2 wanting to do a bday bbq for Vin... And me being this untapped creative mind decided to put my skills to use ( okok dun puke ppl... its my blog ah!!!)
of cousre a bbq would be excellent but there wouldn't be enough time u see as the three Musketeers had to head of for work in the wee hours of the next day... and a Restaurant dinner would just be too Mundane for a 21st Bday!!... (yr of so called freedom...) so i Thought... 'why not combine the 2 ideas and lets do smth...!! *poof* ----> SEOUL GARDEN!!!! well thats the closest we got to the mix...

So it was set... venue done... now the presents... i promised the girl flowers just as a joke initially but hey jokes can be pretty serious too...!! so i was thinking how many... Coz nos and flowers have meaning when put together.... Why not make it Xtra Special and get 21 flowers... and wat more the most classic of them all the Rose.... Shana promised a Black dress... didnt know how he pulled that off... he must thank e2 and med!! and the other 2... well they wanted to get 21 gifts for our special Lady... so off we set to get the gifts... this i must thank MY SISTER... for teaching me me endurance whilst shopping wih women... and also giving Constuctive Comments on any item... she did a good job... :P i took on the extra mile to book the tables in Seoul Garden as it was of no Xtra charge!!! (thank god for that!!) There was even a guest list to the event... yea man... so EXCITING!!!

And everything was set.... except the flowers... i hadnt got any and there were 3 days to the the bday... and of course i work best in these stressful situations!! but on that very night b4... Vin had to make it worse... i mean more challenging... by joking with me that she wanted
sunflowers and tulips... so... there was a mad flowerhunt for all this and i still wanted 21 flowers... ended up getting : 1(meaning ur the OnlyONE) Sunflower, 2(meaning U and ME) Tulips, and 6 bouquets of 3(meaning I LOVE U) roses... each bouquet being a diff colour too... cool huh...!! Since i had a couple of hours before class on WED(the Day b4) met up with the supervisor at SEOUL GARDEN, Dominic(really nice chap...)finalised the details of the happenings of the event and ... WE WERE FINALLY SET TO GO!!

This was the supposed agenda for the day:

1900 Vin and Med to be in SEOUL GARDEN(SG)
1930 All friends to gather with bouquets in hand and to enter SG by main entrance
1940 Medha's speech (on our behalf)
1945 Vijenthi's speech(on NUS guys behalf)
1950 Dinner to commence
2000
to Presents to be given out in sequential order with even intervals
2059
2100 Bday Song And Cake(provided by us) By The Staff Of SG!!
2115 Speech By Vin...

And this was the plan to be followed by clockwork... (army trg la... LOL)

AS U guys know Murphy and His wonderful LAW!!! abt things gg wrong... oh boy... did things start to go wrong... first was the cake.. they prepared the wrong size, and they spelled Vins name as"LIN"... dunno how they made that blunder.... luckily the name was not on the cake... was on some buscuit thingy... thank God Shana was driving... The flowers turned out pretty nice though... went 2 places to collect... "collected" E2 from her place as well.. and she was complaining i dunno why... we were just a tad bit late... :P well the worse part was... as we were doing all this the Nus guys were already at AMK MRT!!! and vin was gonna bump into them if the remained there... so last mint evacuation procedures were put to effect... effective stuff...!! so we were on the way when i found out that the nus fellas were already nearing SG without prior instruction!! just in the nick of time... shana couldnt find a parking space... Vin was getting suspicious... oh yes not forgetting one Bloke in SG... he was like so blatently "i thought u guys were supposed to bring the cake in earlier"!!!! i mean in front of the BDAY GIRL!!!! i dunno wat Med did... but it worked... And so Breeks SG's sister retaurant allowed us to go thru their kitchen at very last min after much discussion bet myself and the manager on the floor...

The look on Her face... PRICELESS.... worth all the effort... the planning and everything else... she had a blast of a time!!! thats wat matters aint it...!! well It was a job well done to all involved despite the slight delays and minor glitches along the way...!!

Moral of the Day: No matter how hard u try to climb, unless u Reach the TOP... it aint Worth IT!!!
