A Special Day

April 7, 2012. It was my Birthday, and my Idol Jackie Chan. 

I wanted to have Dinner with all of SoW so a planned a small gathering for the 7th. However, two of my friends were not able to make it, but I understand. Though I'll be honest, a part of me was a bit sad because I really wished for everyone to make it. But I wanna thank Felipe (aka Aimbot) for making it even though he was quite busy that day. And of course I cannot forget Aron (Ninja) and Jeff (Pyrotech) for spending pretty much half of the day with me. It wasn't all that "grand" scale wise, but I really appreciate the fact that they hung out with me that day. So as we all finally got together, we ate at Hakata Ramen. An awesome Japanese Restaurant I would recommend. Some interesting stuff happened that day. One was Ninja and Aimbot struggling to open up a bottle. XD and the other was well...I used to have this big crush on this girl in College, I nicknamed her Miss Ball, because I first saw her when she was on her way to play Squash and she was playing with the Squash Ball. But I did manage to find a way to meet her and stuff...XD We were not very close, so from what happened on this day, it seemed like we both decided not to greet each other. But hey, that's fine with me. I still had an awesome day!

Then on the 8th, something unexpected happened. I have this friend whom I've known for a very long time, Ryan. He and his girlfriend actually organized a surprise Dinner at Sushi Crescent. He said that he received a coupon and invited me to eat with them. But in fact, there was no coupon, as I went up the stairs, I was surprised to see a group of people I knew all sitting together. I thought my birthday was done, but everyone there just made this year's birthday even more special than I expected. And the two members (Dennis aka Rogue and Glenn aka Intel) that were missing on the 7th, now I understand why they did not attend. And special thanks to Adrian (aka Cykez) and his girlfriend Kath for the super awesome cake. Kath made the birthday cake herself. The design was the Hylian Shield from The Legend of Zelda franchise. As a Zelda fanboy, this cake is probably the best one I ever had. Not only does the cake that she make look good, they also taste good! I also gotta thank Ninja and Aaron for coming even though they work the next morning. And the same goes with Pyro, we finished around 11, and he had an upcoming night shift at 12.

Once more, I just want to thank all of my great friends for making all this happen. For giving me a birthday more special than I expected. I'm not very good with surprises, and sometimes I just don't know how to express myself. What I felt this weekend was really great, and like I said many times, none of this could of happen if it weren't for all them. I love you guys! Thanks for giving a memorable Birthday! =)
