Birthday Ambush
Yes, an outdated post. Should've done this in December itself but I was either away from the scene or just too malas (lazy) to blog :)

Anywayyy, the night before the final Corporate Communications project (Celebration of Arts), my students had asked me to come by to supervise their setup. Though it wasn't necessary, as I had full faith in them, Ruby somehow convinced me to drop by Plaza Mont Kiara to render some support to this bunch of students. Fine, I obliged.

We were there by 8ish and everything seemed fine. The canopies were being erected and the students were busy executing their respective tasks. Living up to my promise not to interfere with their project, I just stood at one corner and observed the activity and antics of my hyped-up students.

Too engrossed in my observation duty, I didn't even realize that half of the group had tiptoed and gathered behind me. I think it was the footsteps and some whispering that alerted me to turn around... and I saw...


The world's ugliest THING ever baked! And it had my
name on it. But wait a minute, pinkk? WTF?! Eewww...


That's Steph (head of the project) with THE THING that
doesn't deserved to be called a cake. I tried to put on
an 'appreciative' look but my expression says it all!


So they sang 'Happy Birthday' and I had to blow the
candles on that THING. I swear I could've killed that
person who baked it and the one who ordered it!


All of a sudden, Steph smacked a big portion of that THING
and I already knew they were up to no good! The texture
of that THING was plain gross (read: oily+stinky+pinky)


The futile attempt at defending myself :(


I was abused and manhandled :) The commotion
attracted a whole load of spectators. *embarassing*


And by the end of it, I looked like a mutated pink
creature. The students were definitely entertained
beyond their money's worth!


And then came Belle with something that looked like a
REAL cake! :) Nice but I was already in a total mess *sigh*



Back to the civil way of celebrating...


And that's barely half of the class...


And the traitor! Apparently, Steph & Belle had planned
it all with Ruby. No wonder she was so persistent about
supporting the students! Hmmm...



And the celebration continued as I was busy shampooing
myself at the gents! A gross yet truly memorable birthday.


Thanks Ashley a.k.a. LilGinger for the wonderful shots. The Celebration of Arts that weekend was a super-success; it raked-in RM15k, which was channeled to the Agathians Shelter. A small amount but big achievement for the students.
