Happy Birthday Albert Lim!


Happy happy birthday Albert!
psst, you're getting old!



That supposedly surprise birthday party although turned out to be not very successful due to our cell leader Rachel's careless mistake of sending a sms to him saying:

"Hi ppl, tonight we plan to celebrate Albert's b'day and sabo him.
Pls confirm ur attendance asap..."

LOL!

Oh well, things happen but we were glad that Rachel was quick witted enough to turn the story around and blame it as Tai Wern's birthday.

Moving on, we gathered at Rachel's place at precisely 8.15pm and started brainstorming the 'techniques' to execute a perfect surprise for him. So we agreed that the other 2 cars will park somewhere hidden and Rachel's car in front of Albert's house. Then as Albert opens his gate, Rachel suggested that she would ask if she could use the toilet and then we would jump out from our hiding place and sing a birthday song with the cake. Sounds like a masterplan? Maybe, although it makes no sense that Rachel would want to use his toilet since her house is 2 minutes away.

Anyways, we got on with the plan; as the others complained of my excited and loud voice over the quiet and tranquil street. I drove excitedly to Albert's house, smirking and thinking about the last minute master plan as Goma opens the packet of flour I brought along as an extra twist to the surprise. I just love surprises!

We reached and got down from our cars. Quickly, we ran towards a bush as refuge and squatted there like a bunch of illegal immigrants. As I caught sight of Albert walking out, I pulled Daniel by the shirt to a nearer hiding place - behind a car, and when Rachel gave us the signal we jumped up and started singing...."Happy birthday to you......"

And as planned, right after Albert made a sweet wish and blew the candle of his 23rd cake, Goma and Lai Tee stepped in with flour! (glutinous rice flour, lol).

Thus the snowman look. Weeee!

No.1 flour throwing villain caught in action


The major culprit - Goma

We barged into the Lim residence later on for the cake cutting ceremony using a (you would never have guessed this).......


Tada! A meat cleaver!

While Leanord and Rachel enjoyed a tv show



Then the boys got vain and complained about Daniel's big tummy

"O Lord, I thank you for the 'white annointing' from heaven"



Don't be deceived by her innocent looks. This is flour throwing villain No.2, Lai Tee!

Then we went for supper in BRJ. Yes, the mamak was dark, as always.

We departed after refilling our stomachs with cold drinks and hot roti canais. It was truly great being able to just spend time together. We had a couple of big laughs as we shared stories and jokes.

Now, who's birthday's next?! (I'll bring more flour next time k?)
