11 Dec'09
Went for Nette's bbq straight after my driving. We were giving Puik a Bday surprise celebration, so didn't had enough time to go home to get changed into my shorts first. Going home would mean that to get to Nette's bbq pit there early to hide the cake before Puik come might be too rush.. So had a long ride by train from Bukit Gombak all the way to Paya Lebar, then took a bus to Parkway Parade there to get Puik's cake.
Getting Puik's cake wasn't that easy. We wanted to get a Vanilla flavoured cake at first, but couldn't find it. So we settled for a Chocolate cake instead.. Then payment for the cake, they Do Not Accept any modes of payment besides cash! So had to walk around the shopping mall there to hunt for a UOB atm machine.. Was super tiring just walking about in a Big shopping mall alone, first searching for cake shops then an Atm machine and then back again to the cake shop just to make payment. After that still have to navigate my way to East Coast Park to find Nette. Thank God I didn't get lost~
Mission Accomplish!
Got the cake and found Nette ~^_^~
Nette brought me to the bbq pit.. And the guys were busy BBQ-ing the food. Seeing them being so hardworking at bbq-ing the food, I guess the only thing that we could do to appreciate their hard work while waiting for Puik and Xn to come, was to enjoy the cooked food! =)
After having our fill, the guys took a break too from the bbq pit... Puik & Xn were still on their way to East Coast~ So we took some pictures to kill time while waiting for them to come..
And Finally!!! Puik and Xn arrive @ 8.30pm!!!
Cause Puik went back to change, her supposedly arrival time of 7 - 7.30pm became 1 hour later...

After Puik and Xn had their fill of the bbq food, Edmund suddenly dragged Puik away. And just as I started thinking of why the sudden dragging away thing is happening, Xn prompted me to prepare the Birthday cake for Puik...
~Opening of the present!!!!~
~Shun An's Rose wrapped up with a lot of wrappers~
~And another card from Shun also~
Slingbag and necklace with the Traditional 21st key with a bonus lock :)
bought by Edmund and Nette,
shared with XueNi and Me.
Edmund and ShunAn shared a cab home..
While Puik, Xn and Me hitch a ride from Nette's Dad, who fetched us home in his van.
On the way home, Pui Kwan started to look for her phone. That was when we realized that she has lost her phone - phone calls were made to her handphone, and no vibration was felt...
So we had to make a U-turn back to East Coast Park to search for her handphone.
Prayed that Puik's Bday celebration won't end off with a sad note.
So when we reached East Coast back, we began our search for the missing handphone...
Thank God! Within minutes of searching, Puik's handphone was found, blinking on the grass! Apparently it fell out from her pocket when Edmund pulled her away from the pit. The handphone was lost for about 2 hours and it was still safe!
