It's 20072007.
*SCREAM WITH JOY!!*
Last night, Nisa made me stay up past midnight, supposedly to help her with NS 5 paper. Of course I got a little suspicious. She's doing her paper in the middle of the night? That doesn't sound like her. So then a few minutes past midnight she told me to call her and... a birthday song came on. It was Nisa and Tini on the line singing the song! So sweet! First time ever someone called me in the middle of the night to wish me happy birthday. Mostly I got SMS-es at midnight++. Anyway, it was utterly sweet of them to stay up just for that. Poor Tini had to be woken from her sleep by Nisa. Hahaha!
Then a little while later, I got a message. I thought it'd be from the two of them but... it was from Daniel! My HI Club instructor. I actually let out a scream cuz I was pleasantly surprised and oh-so-touched by his birthday wish. Damn sweet. So damn sweet that this time I really really worry I'd get diabetes.
And then I got messages from Melissa and Aisyah and Sharifah =))
I had difficulty sleeping cuz I was damn happy by the wishes. My lips kept on stretching to the sides into a smile on its own.
Today school was awesome. Birthday song from the class. I was like "Thanks Tini.." Shy la. Haha. I like the part when Jeanette wrote "Happy Birthday Nadiah" on the whiteboard.
Then Tini and I went to the Atrium, supposedly to buy sandwich. And then I thought we'd be going to the computer lab. Met Nisa too. Then I had to wait for them while they go toilet and buy yoghurt. THAT'S what I THOUGHT they were doing. Waited for so long until I got a bit impatient. I wanted to go see a performance at the atrium but I couldn't go away cuz I had to take care of their belongings. Only to find out they bought this little cake with a candle on it. That was a surprise! They sang the song again and I blew out the candle. Sweet like crazy. Thank you lots and lots!
Then we went to Canteen 1 to eat and chat. Then I saw Daniel! And a lot of other people. I saw FIONA XIE!!! She's sooo pretty and cute. Well anyway, there was a lot of things happening in my school today. Radio stations and TV people all were there.
After that, Daniel messaged me saying he made something for me and that if I'm free, I can go get it from him. So.. duh! Yes, please! Hahah. Then he said to meet at the library. After that he asked what time I finish school and if I'm with my friends and am I going home with them. I'm like, all this questions just to find him and collect my present? Hahaha. Then in one SMS he told me he's going to Tampines. Then I was like "Okay. And?" Ok it was more like, ooooo-kaaaayyy. Hahah. So he replied that we can take bus and train together since I'm going the same direction as him. Right then, I thought my lips would tear from smiling so widely and that my heart would pop out of my chest.
Met him at the bus stop. He gave me a flower he MADE from this pink-coloured paper-ish thing. If there weren't anybody there or if the time came to a stand still, I'd have hugged him. Hahahah. It's super sweet la. Then Tini made a point that the flower matched my top and asked him if he knew I was gonna wear pink. HAHAHA!

I asked him why he's going to Tampines (very far from his house) and if he's going alone. He wanted to buy a formal shirt and yea, he's going alone. So.. risking a rejection, I invited myself to come along with him and help him pick out a shirt. He said he didn't mind. And he sounded genuine. So, yay! He seemed a little bit quiet in the bus but when we got down and boarded the train, he seemed to open up. He talks!! I thought I was going to be the one to think of something to talk about. But, it went very well.
So we went to.. erm.. was it Isetan or Metro? I think I was a bit distracted and nervous that I didn't notice the store's name. Looked at a lot of shirts. Some are nice but they're either too expensive or are short-sleeved. Oh and we have something in common: we don't like it when the salesperson come and disturb us. Ok they weren't disturbing us, more like offering their services but we don't like it. Just leave us alone until we ask for your help, but thanks. And I can't believe how many striped formal shirts can look like pyjamas. Those kinds Mr. Bean wears. Hahah. So since we didn't see anything that we like there, we went to go into another shop.
There was 2 shops two floors above that I wasn't sure if they sell formal shirts and Daniel was saying "I don't think so la". But thank GOD I actually dragged him up there. Because we found the PERFECT one in 77th Street. His words were "I don't like it. I LOVE it." Which is good cuz I practically picked it out all by myself. Hahaha. The cashier gave me a receipt.
He could have took a straight bus home to Yishun. But he decided to take the train with me to Pasir Ris and then take a bus there home. I'm like, wow, that's like super sweet. So reached Pasir Ris Bus Interchange. The plan was he'd wait for my bus to come and then he'll go somewhere outside the Interchange to take a straight bus home. I was waiting for Bus 6 but we were busy talking that I missed it! Hahah.
Anyway, remember the receipt? It was in my hand the whole time. And I didn't realize I'd folded the small paper to even tinier, until Daniel pointed it out. I was fidgeting with the thing so much that the next thing we'll know, it'll be torn into little pieces. Hahaha. Then he took the rectangle receipt and tore it into a square. Hmm. OK.
And then you know what he did?? He not only waited for my bus with me but he said he'd take it with me until my stop and then he'll take the bus opposite back to the interchange. I was like, are you serious? You can go if you want, you know. Hahah but he didn't. Then we crossed the road to the opposite bus stop and I waited with him for his bus to come. I taught him how to sign the Singapore pledge. Haha. And the receipt, he'd folded it into a crane. He gave it to me.
FIRST time a guy sent me home. Actually it's the second time. But the first time was horribly awkward that I'd rather be in a lesbian pub. This time it was.. very nice.
