during world war II, the allied forces were short on supplies after fighting a long-drawn war. there waz nowhere else to get help from except from china. wasting no time, the allied forces commander telegrammed the china commander immediately..
allied forces commander (AFC): hey, got supplies for us not?
china commander (CC): sure sure, we have lots!
AFC: can give us some?
CC: no problemo!
AFC: gd, we'll look fwd to your supplies coming soon.
2 mths later (as the allied forces were dying)..
AFC: eh, how come you said give us supplies, we wait so long liaoz still nothing happen?!
CC: oh yah hor, forget forget.. ok, on its way liaoz..
2 min later..
the china forces marched in unison towards the allied forces, raised their hands in unison, waved them frantically and with huge grins on their faces, shouted: SUPPLIES!!!

on a fateful thurs, everything waz normal: lessons went on as per normal, pple din smile as they walked ard/walked past me.. as usu, the sky waz the normal blue and white, the field in nie did not decide to surprise me with a new coat of striking pink. thus, being a normal day, i went for lessons and then decided to go for LM, as it waz a normal thurs; and LMs happen on normal thurs. however, i had a couple of hrs free b4 LM, so i decided to go to the lib to finish up some work. when i waz there i saw one of my fren (A) who shld have gone home. so i asked him wat he waz doing back in sch so late. he said he waz rushing some assignments, so i went on completing mine as well.
then i went for lm. after lm, i went back to hall for dinner with another fren (B). we were supposed to have maggie noodles in her rm, with both our room-mates. on the way back, the fren decided she wanted to go toilet, and boy did she take a long time! then we went back hall to eat. upon entering the room, i noticed the room's lights were off. so i thot our room-mates were in the kitchen cooking. but then again, i saw my roomie's slippers outside the room. so i waz a little puzzled, but i thot nothing of it.
then i opened the door.
a birthday song started singing.. "happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to.."
my room-mate, fren B's room-mate, 2 nie classmates, 3 other good frens not fr nie were in the room! my, wat a pleasant surprise indeed! not only dat, there waz alot of food: cheese omelette, nuggets, pasta, coke, green tea.. to top it off, there waz the ice-cream cake!
woohoo! such thoughtful frens i have! i thot after uni, birthday celebrations wun get any betta, but each yr my frens juz out-do themselves for me.. fr coming all the way fr outside ulu ntu to staying back after lessons juz to wait for the surprise when they cld have gone home to rush assignments to going all the way to jp to get the food secretly dat afternoon so that i wun find out to taking effort to organise and plan the surprise weeks in advance and keeping it so well that i dinno a single thing abt it to taking note of the food/things i said in passing i wanted the previous weeks and getting them for me..
i felt really important that day.. so many pple putting in so much effort for me..
p/s:
1. fren A stayed back not juz to do assignments, but to wait for the party
2. fren B waz stuck in toilet coz she waz making sure the surprise waz in place b4 i reached back the room
..things frens do juz to bless me. touched.
