Baba and Ying's partyy!

Okay! The long awaited Baba and Ying’s surprise partayye!!

This is a legendary moment. Hehe, this is the very first time JIJI ever had a party! Initial plan was to go to Ying’s place at Cheng Soon Garden but her Daddy said that DingEn has to study for his N’levels so we can’t go over. Oh man! All the discussion on the bus for nothing! We thought of other alternatives like chalet/ hotels but they’re all too expensive. Hehe, heng heng smarty me remembered that the rich kid Ying (and her even richer parents) have got an unused condo at Hillview and tadah! Her Daddy said yes~!

It was a surprise for them because we pak-kup-ed with Ying’s parents to get the spare keys of the condo and went over to set up everything on the 24th before meeting them on the 25th.

So! 24th June! Met up with DJJ, Turbo and YP to shop at JP! Bought the things needed, collected the Bakerzin Strawberry Shortcake, had 2 budget meals from the Ananas Café ($1.50 Chicken Rice!), carried freaking heavy items, took the train, took the bus, kan-chiong over which stop to alight at, climbed a steeper-than-CSG slope, found the place, went up the wrong block, tried the wrong unit, went down the wrong block, used our understanding of Uncle and found the right block, freaked out for a moment because there were 2 doors yet only 1 key, went in to the house, go gaga over the pretty-ness of that place, then finally… … setting up!

After 1

After 2

Hoho, it was a 博命演出 for DJJ and YP! We had to paste the coloured papers on the lights to create the disco effect and the ceiling isn’t very low k. Lol we didn’t have a ladder thus had to stack 2 chairs together. Seems easy but the chair is mega shaky and unreliable so we were all damn high, shouting things like “赶快拿起电话，拨打1900-112-8888，支持我们!!!” HAHAHA coming to think of it, the process was really fun! Initially we only wanted to use the blue transparent paper but somehow along the way, we took out normal construction paper, tried it against the lights, and found out that it look super duper uber mega pretty!!! Pink, orange, green, blue and many many more. Heh heh, that forms our 七彩霓虹灯!

Apart from that we used crepe paper to make the decorations that hung from light to light and also hand-made Happy Birthday banner that we refused to buy at the party shop because it was too expensive. LOL, cheapskate but handmade banner has more sincerity right! Hehe, DJJ complimented my ‘BABA & YING’ decoration too. Hehe so after much 分工合作, we managed to finish everything! From a plain living room to a disco-wannabe party venue~! Exciting ttm =DDDD!
And now, the 25th! The actual JIJI day and we met up a City Hall before walking to Marina Square for our Just Acia. I think the food there was great! Cheap and good with free flow ice-cream and drinks. Hehe, very filling as well so I think it’s a good place to go when you have a low budget. =))









After that, we walked over to Esplanade’s rooftop because they want to help fulfill my wish. HAHA, poor Fiona has never been there before! Everytime I hear people talking about going to Esplanade’s rooftop to chill, I picture them sitting on those sharp spikes hence never understood what they truly meant. Damn noob I know. Anyway, now I do know what they meant by Esplanade rooftop!



Hehe, went over to Helix as well and I think it’s a good place to go dating LOL. Well, guess it would be even better if it’s air-conditioned. =P





Ohh! HAHAHA as we were walking towards Helix, DJJ suddenly dared to go up to the couple in front of us and break them up (they were holding hands). Somehow we linked that to 年轻人and Turbo came up with 腰力好. Put them both together and we went around shouting “年轻人?! 腰力好!!” while doing a tedious lean-back-and-yo action. Retarded much and after doing it many times, I can really feel my back aching. Hahaha, no longer young!

Bus-ed towards Hillview and it was on the bus when we somehow started singing the thai version of 失恋阵线联盟 and it was mad funny because we totally digressed and used Park-Tong-Chai and Chee-Pong-Pai as substitutes to form a sentence when we don’t know what other terms to use (a.k.a 词穷). Sidetrack a bit: it took me 5 minutes to trial and error and find what is the hanyu pinyin for 穷! Okay, back to the topic. Can’t remember what were our exact words but it went something like “Later if the hill is really Park-Tong-Chai I tell you Hui Ying we sure Chee-Pong-Pai you”. Literally it doesn’t make sense but we can more or less figure out the meaning. Heh

Funniest thing to me: We were there using our thai terms to form words when suddenly, Turbo commented that somebody is listening in to our conversation and laughing at us. From the window’s reflection I can see the guy standing diagonally and his face was really epic! He heard Turbo saying that so he was trying very hard to keep his smile in but the dimple was still very much visible. I couldn’t keep my laughter in upon seeing that so I laughed out loud and it is the uncontrollable kind. Pure ownage! So he stood there with his lower body still but upper body turning more than 90 degrees to hide his face from us. Zzomgg, I nearly died from laughing too hard. LOL!

As we were approaching Hillview, we started to act. Ying is the gong gong kind and since we’ve already been there the way before, we had to make sure she alights at the right stop without making it too obvious. Crapped a lot on our way up the slope, complaining why it is so steep and how she lied about it being milder than the one at CSG and threatening to Chee-Pong-Pai her if it’s the wrong way and YP saying that she wants to pee and more complains about how long it is going to take.

Finally! We got there and still have to continue to act. Our plan was to pull the party poppers once we’re all in and it’s hard to get the party poppers out of the bag discreetly. Anyhow lied and said that all the climbing has made me thirsty so I was actively searching for my bottle but actually clenching the poppers real tight cuz I was very nervous/excited. HAHA!

One small minus point is that Baba was the last to enter. She claimed that she likes to walk at the back so when all of us pulled popper, she was still outside! LOL asked them about how they felt about this surprise and both said it was successful. Hehe so sweet of us right. =DDDDD

Showed them their birthday ‘cards’ and gave them their presents. JiJi tradition is to give cold-hard cash so Ying got her Ipod Touch fund and as for Baba, since she’s going to use the money we’re giving her for normal expenses, we bought a Guy Laroche wallet + a secret surprise that will only come in later.

Cut the cake, took many many pictures (crazy we spammed like siao), played cards, drank Choya, ate the Choya plum (wa freak it’s damn gross =.=) and suddenly, we don’t know what else to do. Hahaha, decided to go out for a walk so we went to Batok’s Mac. It’s superrrrrr far and I have no idea how come I agreed to do it in the first place. Attempted to watch World Cup but it was too crowded. Managed a catch one goal and we decided that it was time to go already. Went back to the condo, all damn shagged after so much walking, laid down and we Zhou-Mark-Thai (slept) for 1 hour.

Woke up and we went swimming! Mind you. It was 6.30 in the morning and the water was FREEZING COLD! Had to contain our shrieks as we stepped into the pool, trembling and gritting our teeth to stop it from clattering. Sad to say, the guard came over and told us to get out because the pool is only open at 7. =(

Secretly went to the baby pool instead and it was still as cold. It was only 0.5m deep so we went hopping around the small perimeter with our butt, naively thinking it can help make us warmer. Obviously it wasn’t very helpful so we got up after a while and went back to the house to have breakfast.

YP, Baba and DJJ left earlier so it was only Ying, Turbo and me at the pool later. Had a lot of fun! Hehe it was more of it ‘soaking’ session as we lazed around and chatted which I can’t remember the content already (haha I’m glad that I didn’t drown since I was pretty braindead by then =S).

Initial plan to have lunch together was cancelled because all we wanted to do at the time was to sleep. Stupid me. Left my wallet on the sofa and only realized it when I went up the bus. Had to call Ying and I feel so guilty for making her father drive back and open the door for me! Nonetheless, got my wallet back and finally, home sweet home!

Okay. Time for Baba’s secret surprise! Tried asking what she wanted for her birthday and she actually said “Surprise”. Oi, that’s a hard thing to achieve k! It took us quite a while to decide on a wallet but we need to do sometime with the leftover. Here comes the amazing thing. DJJ liaised with Alina (Baba’s legendary sister)!!! She was REALLY helpful and it was only through her we knew that Baba wanted this SNSD poster and it was also her who ordered it for us!

So, the poster only came in a few days ago so Alina sent a text to DJJ which goes like this:

“Heyhey! Alicia has received the poster and she looks shocked. There’s a few things that I thought that I’d let u know:
1) she doesn’t know who gave it to her even though the recipient is Alicia (Baba)
2) she suspects huiying/ me though
3) she suspects that we collaborated but I told her it’s not possible
4) she though of not asking you guys and wait for the sender to won up cos she reckons that the sender will be worried if the mail got thru.
So, being not able to see the hint, I leave it to you how you wanna let her know?”

Smarty DJJ forwarded this to us so we can all think of a solution and GUESS WHAT!!! She sent as a group (JIJI), and BABA WAS INCLUDED IN THE LIST!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA OWNAGE TTM! Moreover, she didn’t realize it herself. It was Baba who replied her, saying “You even smsed me. I don’t know what you should do too.” I only have two words to describe DJJ. TIO OWNED!!

The whole series of messages that came after this was so mega bloody funny till I really laughed out loud. Usually I’ll just smile like a retard when I’m reading messages but this time… I was there struggling to read the content off my phone screen (which is very small btw) because I was shaking all over for laughing too much. LOL, easily made my day!

Hehe, that’s all for Baba and Ying’s birthday celebration! Mission success! =DDDD!!
