As usual, when one of our dear friend's birthday is just around the corner, the KBBGs will spring up into action and cook surprises. On May 23rd, we celebrated Rafidah's birthday. Before meeting up, the guys crashed over at Fauzi's place to prepare the food. Yup! It was the guys' turn to do all the cooking. Prepared some sandwiches, nuggets and fries and we were good to go! Having us all in the kitchen was great fun. Funny things happened (eg. over-seasoning of the egg sandwich with loads of crushed black pepper) but hey, a whole bunch of guys (us especially) in the kitchen equals to havoc.
After all the frying, preparing and packing we made our way down to Bedok Reservoir Park. The girls chose the newly built floating platform and I must say it was a pretty good location. Just look at the scenery there.
On a side note, the sunset was awesome. I have been living around that area for almost 8 years now and never have I seen such colours blooming in serenity. Before that scenery came around, we had to get down to business. Decorating the platform for Rafidah's surprise.
All of us helped out with the decorations and I must say the amount of teamwork by all of us was efficiency at its best. Blew quite a lot of green and gold balloons, and started decorating the entire end of the platform with it.
I saw a lot of tea candles that Susu brought and it gave me an idea. I decided to lay it out around and on the mini-table Susu brought along. We all had way too many tea candles to use. In trying to make full use of it, I decided to arrange the candles into what you see above. But trust me, keeping the candles alive was absolutely tiring. The strong winds were not helping either. We were all struggling! Haha!
While waiting for Rafidah's "grand entrance", we decided to jam. Sang to songs, which never made it to the end (because we always sing it halfway)! And in the midst of all this, we planned on how to surprise Rafidah. Somehow, we were all excited.
And finally! The soon-to-be 20-year-old girl arrived. She was blindfolded and made to listen to her Ipod (I think). So when Syaherah left her at the center of the platform, she screamed so loud that the fishes in the reservoir went deaf (ok bedek ah)! I swear she was like some lost lamb searching for its mother. I was laughing so hard (the others too) that I wanted to pee in my pants. Watching her scream was hilarious! Hahaha!
Cake-cutting as usual and it was finally time for us to dig in! We were all famished from the waiting, that the food finished within seconds! Haha! Took group photos - girls and guys separately. And I wonder why we did not take together. Did we?
Games organised by Asmah was a good one but I did not participate. I was frantically trying to find the toilet together with Nina. Made it back in time to watch Fauzi do the cheeky chicken dance. He possesses good entertainment value I must say. Haha!
Another awesome birthday surprise by the KBBGs. And if you are wondering what KBBG is, it is basically the usual group of friends we always hang out with. "KB" stands for 'Kesian Boyz' (the guys in the group) and "BG" stands for 'Baking Girls' (the girls in the group). And thus, with us all being the usual group, we combined both group name and call ourselves "KBBG".
Oh c'mon! Don't you have your own distinct group name too? Haha!
Anyway, we know you had a blast Rafidah! The KBBGs will always be there for you and we love you!
Cheers!
