The birthday boy was late. I couldn't chide him either. Could tease him though. It's amazing how I have so much love for someone who could have been considered a stranger merely 2 years ago. I'm weaning myself. I decided to go out with one last big bang. His birthday surprise. I believe pictures will suffice.
The cake I ran like the wind to get amidst leering looks from the behind-counter staff at Breadtalk.
The birthday boy finally arrives and I tell myself "it's okay if you get burnt, it's DDE's candle" and then he blows out the candle. (:
Getting the candle off and getting him to wolf his cake down.
Enjoying the cake, my gineau pig? HAHAH!
My right-hands for the PR Media Conference. (:
Didn't think we'd leave you with just a cake for your birthday would you? :D
The look on your face was priceless, seriously. My heart just warmed and melted.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU AWESOME PERSON YOU! :D
My note on the back on the photo, as CEO, on behalf of all of us at Creators Co. (:
The next surprise (just when he was getting cranky) got thrown to him. The miniature soccer ball signed with love from all of us. (:
I had a crisis to handle just before the surprise was to take place. I was mentally and physically exhausted after the whole thing and yet I had to keep going (script needed to be edited, last minute changes to support crew stuff etc) and through this maelstrom I remembered what Mr Paul told me in secondary school and then I this quote formed in my mind: God put you in situations for a reason unfathomable to us, we have to make the best of each situation for they were designed with us in His mind. I clearly understand this feeling.. When I thought I couldn't go any further, I put myself in other worse-off situations and I pulled through. I had great plans for what I was going to do for the group after the media con, I'm not so inclined anymore. No use showering goodness when nothing shows for it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hankering for appreciation or anything of that sort because if it's not immediately conveyed, it's not truthful or heartfelt. I just don't want to keep thinking about all the what-ifs when nobody else can be interested.
