A month ago, Aca and I were crapping over YM about having a back-up career plan. mine:
- Full time photographer
- LRT station announcer
- Surprise birthday party planner / kindergarten party planner
To strengthen my resume for my 3rd back-up career, I need to polish some skills = throw a surprise for 3 people at a time.
After a brief chat with Baim, mentioning about his wife, Aini’s coming birthday, we planned to throw a surprise including to the other two december babies- Rash and Zue. Belated birthdays… why not? Attack when they least expect it.
The Victims + their Con Agents:Aini – Baim
Rash – Miem
Zue – Aca
Con Agents were supposed to arrange to be at Nurul Ikan Bakar roughly around 8pm.
Johni, Ruby and I will be in charge of buying the cake and making the surprise entrance with the cake.
Plot
- First couple arrives - look for seating, possibly big table near entrance, and start ordering as usual.
- The next couple would arrive – ConAgents suppose to act like ‘terkezutt’ and betegur sapa and ajak to join in.
- Then, the third couple arrives… Same scenario repeats.
- By now, the victims might be a little suspicious of the coincidence..
- Message will be sent to us to make the surprise entry with the cake.. and live happily ever after.....

Obstacle #1
Miss Ruby wrote about returning back to Sarawak in FB status, whereby Zue commented:
alor....cuti dah nak abeh..tapi spent time dgn cikgu ruby sekali je...ape kes :(
esok jom dinner!
and Ruby replied:
Zue: yup, i join dinner esok.. tak sabar nieh nak mainkan peranan Actress of The Year
making Zue blur and commented: Actess of the Year? Nape gitu?
I saw this in the FB walls… and almost fainted! Why Ruby why? I called her immediately. To cover up, Ruby came up with the idea of confusing Zue back at the status... berjaya....
THEN it turns out… next day, Ruby can’t make it to the dinner because of some urgent matter :P so much for the confusion kan....
Obstacle #2
6.40pm – got sms from Miem – Rash didn’t feel like eating out. SOS! Not much time to arrange back-up plans!
7.00pm – called Baim. Tried to scheme… (use reason that Aini’s pregnant and that she’s craving for Ketam Sos Cili badly and needed transport from Rash…) Baim said it sounded too suspicious and weird too…
Maybe I should drive with Joni to Rash/Miem's apartment, and ask Joni to pretend an emergency and make Rash come down from the apartment? Hmmm… No.. There have got to be a better way…. And suddenly another idea came in….
revised plot:
7.20pm- Called Rash…. Told him that I left my keys in the lab, it has been locked, and that I have waited very long, but no one came, so had no choice but to ask for his help to bring the lab key. Quickly sms Miem to follow Rash.
Obstacle #3
Ok.. wait.. how about Joni? His housemate dropped him at school. How to put him in the plot? Updated him on the changes. Him without a car… that’s just too suspicious… ayyak… so we quickly came out with changes on the new plot.
revised plot 2
- When Rash and Miem arrives, I’ll take the lab key and go up my lab
- On my way up, I will miscall Joni, and he will walk from the mosque, lalu parking skool…and bump into Rash and Miem.
- He will then tell them that he just met his friend at the mosque, and suddenly felt like eating in Bakti (ok, pelik jgk..)
- He was suppose to talk until I come down and looked surprised and I will ask him to join us for dinner… kononnya nak belanja Rash for all the trouble
Obstacle #4
Rash and Miem arrived. I asked him for the key… But he said he wants to go up too, to take some things. Huh… alamak… So three of us went up… was not able to alert joni. Reaching the lab, it was unlocked, some students were inside.
“Laaa.. ada org kaa? Tadi beberapa kali naik, takde sapa” (pura-pura innocent)
He said “Adehh… penat mai.. kena belanja ni…”
Wow Ikan masuk jala! So I said I will belanja but he kindly turned down the offer. but finally Miem and I managed to talk him in… lega ok .. Going out of the lab, Joni rang me “Diorg takda kat bawah”.
So Joni had to reenact revised plot 2 :P
The surprise
Phew…. no more obstacles.
Rash and Miem arrived, they saw Zue and Aca, already seated. Zue didnt suspect anything coz Rash looked surprised as well. Baim and Aini arrived just as Rash and Miem were joining Aca and Zue. Too coincidental? Haha... good timing though. All seated, trying to explain each other (still on under-cover mode)... and then upon confirmation all had arrived, Joni and I marched towards them with the cake and...
Finally... the surprise….
And yeahhhh.. they were surprised!!!!
phewwww... setel!
There u go.... in my Resume!
Other cover-ups:
phewwww... setel!
There u go.... in my Resume!
Other cover-ups:
- Zue + Aca...
they reached first... ordered and started eating (With Aca slowing down the order, diverting Zue whenever necessary, siap buat reasoning taknak duduk tempat ada privacy sbb pakai skirt, takut nyamuk masuk :P Aca's acting performance is highly credited by Zue as she didn't suspect anything fishy was goin on. (hehe, so bukan Ruby ye yg dpt title Actress of the Year...kuikuikui) :P - Baim and Aini...
Baim called a taxi... to avoid suspicion if they were to carpool with any of us.
He keep on updating me and the other ConAgents through SMS, which made Aini a bit curious since Baim's not really the SMS-type of guy... but she just brushed it off and happily thinking of the Ketam BErsos Cili that Baim promised to treat her (but rupanya, kedai tu takda pula menu tu ok... sian Aini :P) - And of course, the last-minutes plots mentioned above was successful due to the good acting skills by Joni and Miem as well...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY s !!!
MOGA PJG UMOQ....
and last but not least... to evelione: HAPPY NEW YER!!!! See u in 2010...
