Happy Birthday to Katy

It was 25th December, the day on which both Jesus Christ and one of our sexy babies, Pretty Katy, were born. Everybody around were supposed to be glad, enjoying this merry festival, especially Katy’s good friends like us. I got up bright and early. But actually there was none of things for me to do on that day time. Time seems slowed down and no longer flies as quickly as it supposed to be. I sat in front of the television for hours without focusing on anything, merely recalling my past, my old little world, and what I have at that moment from my memory like a sieve.

At about 6 o’clock in the evening, I was phoned and informed that there was a birthday party for Katy held in Juno’s house at night. Participants were supposed to meet at 7 in Mei Fu MRT station. At that moment I was seeing the VCD just borrowed, with a title of “Hana and Alice”. It is a Japanese love film and considerably touching. The two major actresses, who do ballet in many scenarios, are pretty and make the entire movie elegant. Looking up at the clock, I found I could arrive in Mei Fu on time even if I finished the whole movie. After that I went to wash up, got changed and left home.

At 7:05 I stepped out of the train onto the Mei Fu platform. I got Connie there. Being classmates for more than two years, none of us should be surprised by the good news from Connie that the other bitches would come later, some even for more than half an hour. We were there to prepare for the hot-pot dinner at which many food and beverages were needed for some 8 people this time. Connie and I were hanging around with the purpose of locating any shop providing proper kinds of hot-pot food. We found a supermarket but unfortunately it was providing not enough. We consequently took advices from Katy. Eventually two of us came to a shop specific for what we needed. Connie was so insane and was keeping putting products into the basket, no matter what I said. I stopped her at last, at a time which our basket was full with much more than enough food.

People arrived one by one. We came to a cake shop to purchase a “black forest” birthday, which cost $55. It was inexpensive and looked delicious.

We all went up to Juno’s home and were welcome by Juno’s parents. People, excluding I, started preparing all stuff for Katy. Some of them were handling with the dinner, some dealing with presents, some writing “heard-word notebook”.

“Beauty and the Beast” was showing then.

Katy was then invited to come. She lives in Mei Fu as well.
Katy prepared a well-set hair style wining thousands of praises. The dinner then began. It last for a long span of time. People were ingesting at a slow pace just because all of their attention was paid on the Disneyland cartoon movie. Frankly, I love that movie anyway.

Too much food was on the table but people were no longer capable to eat anymore. All of us, except me again, were cleaning up the table in order to be ready for the next part of the party. Light was abruptly turned off, and the birthday cake with candlelight prepared in advice was taken out in a warm and hear-touching atmosphere. Katy was delighted by it. We sang the “happy birthday song”, followed by her blowing the flickering candles out. People turned out to be excited and kept yelling. The cake was divided into pieces and delivered to everyone. Although I decided to be on diet (for my charter 10km), I ate as it was Katy’s birthday cake. There was no point not to eat, even though it is poisoned by Dr. Gu, right?

Here came the most fantastic moment that night. The present prepared by ladies was placed somewhere in the house. The game was that we commanded Katy to seek for her gift, making use of our hints in terms of the frequency of “do-do” sounds we produced. That is, the higher the frequency, the closer to the present she was. Needless to say, she got her present shortly afterwards. It was actually placed under the sofa. The present was a chocolate, a necklace and a pair of earrings. Katy was again delighted.

My present for Katy was myself. But she refused to accept. I made me sick.

Anyway, people were giving great effort, in the hope of Katy’s happy birthday. Hope she can be happy forever.

Hope so.
