you dun shot my bird!

sprinters celebrated yingting's birthday on friday and it was a total success!! i spent 1 hour wrapping up the shoebox in drawing block for her, then brought it to my class where we met up at 6.45am and wrapped up the fruits in transparent wrapping paper with worms all over it (3 unripe bananas, 2 apples, 2 pears, 2 fragrant pears, 3 oranges and a beeg box of Special K for the birthday girl cos she was on a diet). much decapitating of worms occurred during the wrapping- up process by hazel, and many screams were uttered while trying to figure out a way to place the fruits, which resulted with many apples nearly falling off the table due to our noobness. then we did all the necessary decorations, but we didn't have enough time so we met again during recess, where we spent a nerve-racking 20min doing the final touchups to the present. while waiting, i picked up a palm from the freshly-cut palm tree outside my class and brought it into the classroom where i waved it around like a maniac.

then came the making of the plan! where joy became as insane as i did, took 3 palms instead and we came up with Formation Y - improved version. then while waiting for alex and the rest of the sprinters sign the box, windy and i did an indian dance and fought each other with our new weapons. hor.

with 5min to spare. we ran to ying ting's class across the field, not before being confronted by ms lim and ms rockey where they asked us where in the world we were going with those palms. they didn't hinder us much, but when we reached yingting's class we found out she had gone to the humans room for history class. so we rushed to the humans room looking for all the world like crazy spanish game show girls holding palms over our heads rushing for the parade float cos we took too long to put on our make-up and do our hair.

petrina went in to ask Mrs Tan if she could speak to yingting for a while, and when yingting did come out, we waved the palm leaves in front of her face and sang a loud chorus of HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY. awesome facial expression. totally epic. i'll never forget that.

then, after alex passed her her present, we sprinted across the carpark, threw our palms in a pile of other leaves in a corner and reached our classes in under a minute. that's what we go to training for. heee.
