The Feeble Surprise

Yesterday was Jana's birthday!

Leila, Lil' and I sprang her a birthday surprise, with Mufid being the mastermind. He brought Jana to Suntec, where the three of us 'ambushed' her.

But I have to say that the surprise was a wee bit feeble. It didn't turn out all too surprising, because we were quite low on strength. Furthermore, we weren't too used to surprising people.

HOWEVER, I do have to say that despite being feeble, the surprise was nevertheless VERY THOUGHTFUL! After all, as cliche as it may sound, it is, indeed, the thought that truly counts.

We got for Jana the most wonderful cake!



Isn't that the most wondrous porous cake you've ever seen? I figured, since she just got into Lasalle too, why not get a cake that could relate to the Lasalle campus? My brilliance came up with this fantastic ultra porous cake that fit the bill so well! (See, what I told you about 'porous'...)

You'd think that it's just any other pandan chiffon cake. But hold that thought, because it's not just ANY chiffon cake, okay? It's chiffon cake from Polar Puffs & Cakes hor! I assure you that it tastes as good as it looks. And it looks good because it's porous! I really like the texture the cake creates.

Believe me, it's really very delicious! Billy was so into the pandan cake, he just ate and ate and ate. If it's not good, why would he go for helpings after helpings? Maybe partly because he's hungry, but that's besides the point. To show you how fabulous the pandan chiffon cake was, here's a shocking photo of Billy's arm AFTER he finished eating cake:



Apparently, the fragrant pandan flavour seeped into his bloodstream and infused with his body tissue. He was almost as delectable as the pandan cake he ate! We were all clambering to get a huge bite off of Billy's arm, eager to taste the 'cake'. However, Leila proved to be the strongest because she beat us all to it! She's the only one that managed to get to Billy's arm. She attempted to bite a huge chunk off it.

Futile attempt, of course, since Billy's flesh wasn't porous like the cake's. However, I think it's most likely that Leila felt more anger than hunger when she bit Billy because after all, Billy finished up most of the pandan cake that SHE bought.

But aesthetically speaking, the bite mark looks not bad, huh? Formed this rather perfect oval shape, with varied depth of bite some more!

All right, end of story, children! Did you enjoy the tale of Who Ate My Pandan Cake?

(P.S. Despite being a tale of fiction, the story above was inspired by REAL-LIFE events that took place that night. If not where you think I freaking get the photos???)

Back to serious business.

PANDAN CHIFFON CAKE?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Of course we didn't get Jana a pandan chiffon cake lah! I know it's the thought that counts, but if you DO get a pandan chiffon cake for your birthday, then it's obvious that whoever bought you the cake hadn't been thinking hard enough!

Come to think of it, it will perhaps make for a really good prank instead. If I were to get a pandan chiffon cake for my birthday, I WOULD FLIP! It's so ugly, so unthoughtful, SO CHEAP!

The real cake that we got Jana:



The real cake from Polar Puffs & Cakes. Truly fantastic right? I told you we were very thoughtful already. I heard Leila and Lil' had to trick Jana into taking the shot so we could get the people to print it on the cake.



Jana with her birthday cake, obviously very happy. Can you imagine if it had indeed been a pandan cake instead?



The mini gathering: Mufid, Lil', Jana, Kang Yong, Leila. I told you we were low on strength already right? We were at this secret function room, so we more or less had the place to ourselves.

After that, we went to Jalan Kayu to grab a bite.

No more photos, because my camera battery died.

Happy Birthday, Jana.
