Suprise Suprise!
Happy belated birthday Miss Carol!!!
*muaks*
You get a special *late* entry because I've been busy all week and haven't had time to update.So anyway we celebrated Carol's birthday at Siena's in Mt Lawley. It was almost impossible trying to find parking there and even worse the cold was just as freezing as in Melbourne! Although, it was a nice a chummy place and it was totally packed! Thanks to all who came, I'm sure Carol really appreciated it. And to those that couldn't make it or forgot (Tram!) you're forgiven =)
Throughout the whole night, Carol was suspecting in her mind that Eric might be back from Sydney early. Eric told Carol that his flight will land in Perth around 11am on Saturday morning, but Carol being the smart cookie that she is still went on suspecting. She even went to far as to look at my inbox of messages to see if Eric messaged me! Thank God weiwei is a little smart at least and deleted the evidence *phew*
Poor Carol... "where's bao bei?" (haha, that's what she calls him)
So we had dinner and the portions were HUGE! Really huge portions! We were so full afterwards. Carol was telling us many funny stories, the highlight of the night... when she told us about the movie 1408. Everyone had their eyes and ears pierced onto Carol when she was telling us the events of the movie. She's such a good story teller... I even got scared when she was telling the story. I'm even getting the chills typing this because I'm sitting in a square room alone with a big black TV looking at me! =S
So here's the synopsis of the movie. I must remember to borrow it out!
Renowned horror novelist Mike Enslin (John Cusack) only believes what he can see with his own two eyes. After a string of bestsellers discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous houses and graveyards around the world, he scoffs at the concept of an afterlife. Enslin's phantom-free run of long and lonely nights is about to change forever when he checks into suite 1408 of the notorious Dolphin Hotel for his latest project, "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms." Defying the warnings of the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson), the author is the first person in years to stay in the reputedly haunted room. Another bestseller may be imminent, but Enslin must go from skeptic to true believer? and ultimately survive the night.
After dinner, we went to utopia for bubble tea (with Carol strategically positioned at the table of course, so as to not be facing the doorway). We recalled back memories from 364 days ago... it was the Geek's 21st right here in Utopia! Ahh... and the memories came flooding back. I can't believe it's already been one whole year since we celebrated Carol's birthday... I can't believe how fast time has just escaped us and we're all one year older!
Some people like the girl above never made it to the Geek's 21st (L-oser!) I guess things never change... she can't count 1 year either. She sticks up two fingers on each hand? to make 4 or 22? What the heck is she doing?! Just kidding Jill. =) I'm sure your maths is way better than mine!

Just kidding Jill. =) I'm sure your maths is way better than mine!So I gave my car keys to Gab, so that when Eric arrived he could put his luggage into my car and they can get the cake from my car. Afterall, if I left to go and meet Eric, then all would be too suss right? And good thing Carol didn't even notice that Gab was missing until the most crucial moment. She started saying, "OMG where's Gab?!" And then June started saying, "Where's Gab?!" Everyone was wondering where Gab had gone too... and in my head was *panic panic*
Then Carol got a message from Eric which went something like, "Hope you're having fun at dinner, say hi to everyone for me." At that point, Carol's hopes were dashed... he really wasn't coming afterall.
Luckily it was about a minute later that Gab returned hiding Eric behind her as she walked in. Carol kept turning around and I was so nervous that she might actually see Eric but even when she turned around she only saw Gab! So all went according to plan and she didn't even spot him... not even when he was holding the cake behind Gab!
Mr Pang himself made such a grand entrance as per usual "fashionably late"! It was better than I had expected and he suprised the living daylights out of Miss Chu! =P The look on her face was priceless... really priceless - just like the Mastercard advertisement!
So in the end Carol's wish came true... well I suppose that she would have probably wished that Eric was here with her to celebrate her birthday! And here he is in his MANIGAN!!! kakakaaa... I think manigans look nice on guys la... right? So sweet they ... and the orange tie is totally working too! I like it! =)
Hope you had an awesome night Carol! =P Prepare for suprise number three... though... I'm retired now. I've been over-used and it's too suss for me to do any more suprises... so watch out!
