The secret... revealed!
No one has ever gone to extreme lengths to really suprise me. But it's alright, I don't really like being scared out of my wits anyway.
So anyway I was in Malaysia and one of the days I met up with Jason and Kiew in Asia Cafe back in mid December. Then the topic came up of Pauline and her going to Melbourne to study. Kiew began to tell me that Pauline in fact decided to study in Perth afterall because the commerce course in Melbourne takes 4 years and the one in Curtin takes 3 years... and I got the shock of my life when he told me! I was like "ARE YOU SURE? If she's staying in Perth I would so be the first one to know...!!!"
So being so amused that I didn't know about this, I called Pauline... and immediately she told me to put Kiew on the phone. *Ok.... sounds kinda fishy already* So her and Kiew talk for a little while and the expression on Kiew's face is just so funny. *LOL* You know how Kiew is! So anyway.... she said that she wasn't going to study in Perth - she's still going to Melbourne. There was an apparent "mis-communication" and Kiew had gotten it wrong.
Fine. So my last good bye to Pauline was at Petronas station!!! hahaaa.... so gay!
So then... the next time... which was about a week ago, we formed new cell groups and I just happened to casually ask Usha who was in our cell group. She said, I quote, "You, me, Pauline..." and before she could finish I was ecstatically screaming..."PAULINE??!! PAULINE TAY??!!"
Immediately, Usha covered up her face with her book and had a fretted look about her face, then she proceeded to calmly say that it was another Pauline who was a freshie, and that she would introduce me to this new Pauline. *nice cover up sha* Afterall, we'd already met an Usha number 2 and a Su Ann number 2! Why not a Pauline number 2 to join the gang.
*I smell fishy fishy fishy-nesss in the air!*
*I smell fishy fishy fishy-nesss in the air!*
So I messaged Pauline later that day...and said, "ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT COMING BACK TO PERTH?"...and the conclusive answer she gave was no.
Then a few days later... I asked Usha about meeting this imposter Pauline number 2. She said, that Pauline number 2 has moved to Joanne's cell... =____=' fine then! I still want to meet this Pauline number 2! Afterall, she could be Pauline's replacement! *tee hee*
Ok... so whilst snooping around How now brown cow? I read a *fishy* message on her tagboard. It said, "OMG~!: :] u noe who i am la... u u u... shud stay n study in swinny..."
Is that a dead give away or what?
*fishy-ness to the max please!!!!*
Next hint: One of the nights, Pauline was talking to both me and Frances, and well I haven't been officially introduced to Frances as yet. SO Pauline says, "I must intro you to her." The problem is, how are you going to intro her to me when you're in Melbourne HAR?!fish
Next hint: Her never ending questions about what my cell is like... who is in my cell, what are they like, how many people... the questions are endless. Why is she so interested to know who is in my cell when she's going to be in Melbourne HAR?!fishy
Next hint: Why do you keep telling me you have stuff to tell me, but that you will tell me later? When will later be? In Perth?! keke....FISHY-NESS!
OK, so all this while, I can't be sure that she's coming back to Perth. All these accumulated "happenings" have made me come to the conclusion that she's possibly coming back to Perth to study but how can I be sure? She keeps telling me she's going to Melbourne... yet when I asked her numerous times when she's going to Melbourne, she's avoids the question on every occassion. She probably has this look on her face every time she's going to tell me a white lie!
So skip forward to Zion Food Fest!!! *talk talk talking to people*...
Su Ann found me so I talked to her for a little while, but I didn't manage to snap a picture with her! Next time! I want everyone to meet Su Ann!!! She's so ultra cool like this Sue-Anne!
Ok... so anyway... I see Julian (Pauline's brother). Well, actually he walks up to me and says hi. "Hi!" So we got talking and naturally I have to ask about Pauline! "So when is Pauline going to Melbourne?""Oh she decided to stay back in Perth to study..."
*jaw dropping moment of my life* "HAR WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?! She's staying in Perth to study???? How come????!!!!"
"Oh because she decided to study in Perth. She's coming back tomorrow."
"WHATTTTTT!!!! Are you serious? You just ruined the suprise!!!!"
"Oh well, you asked!! So I just told you."
*smack forehead* and the crowd says "ai yorrrrr.... !!!"
In my heart I felt really happy that she was coming back afterall. Then I felt upset that I found out the secret!!! For almost two months... everyone knew that she was coming back except for me. She had kept it secret for THAT long... and the day before she's due to arrive back in Perth, I find out. Oh well, it couldn't be helped once I knew the truth.
So obviously I can't tell her that I know that she was coming back to Perth in the end. I have to act suprised to see her, otherwise her efforts would all have been in vain. But it would have been a defining jaw dropping moment in my life if I suddenly saw her standing in front of me. I would literally start screaming like a hippo! Do hippos scream? Or maybe I might have to close my eyes and have a moment to myself and meditate a little...whilst holding back the tears...
Thanks for trying to suprise me. The effort means a lot... even though... in the end, unfortunately I found out, even though I didn't mean to!

I missed her!!! *whacks arm* ngek ngek ngek
Thanks for trying to suprise me. The effort means a lot... even though... in the end, unfortunately I found out, even though I didn't mean to! First time I saw her was at ZLM and so after singing we all sat down. Then when I saw her sitting next to Esther my jaw literally dropped 3 times.... but no one was there to see my reaction!
So while I'm not supposed to know that she's coming back to Perth, I played tricks on her while talking on skype and MSN... asking her questions about Melbourne etc.
So we were talking last night on skype and it was FREAKING HOT! I was sweating like a pig with no air con or fan in my room and I didn't even open the window... and my door was pretty much closed. So you get the picture that my room is stuffy... but it's ok... I'm accustomed to heat. So then the conversation continues...
"Oh my housemates on aircon 24/7"
*weiwei being sneaky*
"Housemates? I thought you're staying with your brother?"
"Oh yeala ... got other ppl also what, my mum also, lol... too many ppl... sian"
HAHA *CAUGHT OUT*! This was her face when I caught her out!!! haha *sneaky Pauline* Twas so funny when she was trying to cover up her story! hahahahahhahahaaaa.... the best come back was from Usha....
"Oh it's another Pauline... she's a freshie...I'll introduce you to her"
