Belated Birthday Celebrations

It all started with a chit chat on msn when I had found out that my good friend Evan never even celebrated his birthday last month. In fact none of his close friends/family did anything for him nor did they even bother to wish him a Happy Birthday. You see, Ev & I nearly share the same birthday! His is 4 days after mine (but he is still 2yrs older !), so coupled with this fact, Ev too felt really bad that he didn't make it for my birthday nor did he bothered to wish me a HB.

Thus, both of us came to a compromising outcome. He wanted to cook for me to make up for what happened but, I had also wanted the night to be about him.

So night began at 7pm at his cool apartment in South Melbourne. The food was fantastic! While we were eating, I gave him my gift to him which was aimed to encourage him in his pursuit of his career overseas next year; ' to hold Y2007 in your hand' I call it (with God's strength of course).

After the meals, it was time for dessert & of course, I surprised him with a mud cake from MP's. Even though his birthday is 1month past, I made sure that the entire birthday tradition was still carried out; from singing the song to making the wish before blowing out the candle & of course cutting the cake. Then to my surprise, he handed me my birthday present! I could see so much thought & effort went into the gift even just the wrapping in itself! gosh was I impressed or what?! ;)

Finally it was time to watch the movie: Wicker Park (which is a bit like Single White Female) while eating the very addictive cherries! Gosh Josh Hartnett can be my boyfriend any day! 'Twas a great night in deed!

I can tell you now, I'm sooooo treasuring every minute of my time with my close friends!
I'm soooo going to miss all of them. Stop the time. Please!
