When Dyana told me we were gonna have a birthday BREAKFAST picnic my mind instantly reacted like this

Okay time for my last post on this

Lets finish this!

Okay so afterwards we found a place at the back and thank God Mabik and Syazwan arrived but NO ONE ELSE HAS..so the whole all the boys suprised him while Dyana makes the final suprise and walks in with cake has gone EWTHAB as well..

So Dyana came out with an idea to ask Shahrul to drive here himself and I'll bring him inside..he'll see Dyana and one by one the boys will come in casually and suprise him..which is the POLAR OPPOSITE of the initial suprise..but Dyana xnak jadik centre of attention padahal she is Shahrul's bestfriend yang paling jarang hang out dengan him so obviously her presence will be the most suprising..but at that point everything was EWTHAB so Im just like whatever la..so Syazwan and Shapik sorok..and Dyana waits with the unopened box of cake..and I go and call Shahrul outside and lie my ass off again..but then sebenarnya memang I can't pick him up..the bloody maps was acting up.

EWTHAB Scene 4:
9.30pm

N: Shahrul I xtaw macamana I boleh sesat sampai A&W..I tak boleh ambik u la u kene datang
S: Bapak ah I tunggu lama kot! U bwat apa dowh. Sumpah I panas dengan you.
N: Im sorry! You datang ah. I tunggu dalam kereta

Fast forward half an hour

Birthday boy arrives

S: You bwat apa dowh..lama gile I tunggu.
N: Sorry I mmg sesat. You see my Maps

He was fuming at the time..you can literally see smoke coming out of him

and for the love of me I couldn't stop grinning and I was like pulling him inside to sit and and and!

I pointed to Dyana

Shahrul saw Dyana..and he was silent for a second..I can see he was surprised though..basically this is where the EWTHAB started

S: Eh Dyana..u bwat apa kat sini bro?
D: Ohh hmmm biasalah I kat sini.
or something like that I never really understood their lingo. heh
S: *suddenly laughs. Dyana kek tue untuk sapa?
D: Ohh emmm..

At this point Shahrul realised there was a lot of chairs..yeah somehow we assembled the tables together to form a 10 seater table..which negates the point of a surprise because obviously Shahrul will see there's empty chairs around..but Dyana's logic was everyone else was doing it so its part of the structure of the restaurant..okayyyy

N: Dyana! Asal you ambik meja besar..jom move meja kecik!
D: Ohh sebab takde tempat

padahal meja kecik bersepah kat situ

another tactic maneuver

D: Sha sha dudukla sebelah i!

Shahrul was seated beside me facing the wall at that point so he sat beside Dyana facing the crowd

Suddenly Shahrul's text beeped

S: HAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
D & N: What what?!
S: Syazwan baru tanya I kat mana,..HAHAHAHAHHAHA..so mana diaorang?
D & N: Manada orang lain..eh tak apa u cakap nie..kitaorang tak faham.

Suddenly Shahrul's eyes look towards the distance

S: Ehh tue Ayip! HAHHAAHHAHAHA! Ayip!
D: What?
N: Hah Manada
S: Ada la..die nampak I pastu muke die terkejut pastu die buat2 tak nampak pastu die lari klua. HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHHA..I nak cakap..Ayip awak fail. ahahahhaha

At this point I was looking at Dyana and Dyana was looking at me and I was just like

N: Ahh fuck it all. I give up!





Then right on cue Syazwan and Mabik came out from behind and hugged Shahrul and Shahrul was laughing his ass off..and out came a stream of guys surprising an already not surprised guy.

So since surprise tak menjadi langsung we moved to another table and we just sort of had a catch up session and I'm not sure why but even though everything went wrong but somehow we laughed ALOT..like seriously ALOT..I was shrieking like a hyena because Rhastdan was being stupid..and they were all cracking up jokes..most notable jokes were everyone stuffing their leftover cake to Ayip's lil bro to which Ayip called him tong sampah kat rumah..then there was the scene where the guys dared Ayip to eat a slice of brownie to which he took with his full hand..and gobbled it up!

and well

the cake cutting incident was funny as hell!

I mean here's a picture of the cake


Overall it was a super-memorable evening whereby despite everything going wrong we all enjoyed ourselves..even Dyana said she preferred it this way than the usual surprise..so thats a good thing I guess. ahhahah






Ps- I'm telling you..it may not sound so loud in the video and we didn't plan on singing..but when they all spontaneously decided to sing...damn it was SUPER LOUD..I mean Im talking roaring here..its like 6 grown ass men's voices is almost equivalent to about 15-20 girls? Dyana and I was like..tersentak kejap sebab kuat gile. hahaha..

Anyways thats the end of the story..I'm so glad that at the end of the day everyone had a great time! Alhamdulillah. and THANKS SO MUCH to Dyana, Shapik, Rhasdtan, Syazwan, Ayip, Rmeen, Daniel and Ayip's lil bro for coming and making this a memorable night for Shahrul to remember.

To my boypreng Shahrul Akmal..happy 24th baby..I wish only the best for you and that Allah SWT grants you happiness, iman and rahmat..I love you. Simple as that.

Yay finally squeezed some time between sleeping and eating to blog again.. seriously blogging nowadays takes a lot of effort.. so where was I?

Ohh yeah Mabik is a jerk who won't buy the cake.

So I turned to Dyana who by the way wasn't talking to me because apparently I said something that ruined it all [zzzzzzzz] but at the end of spamming her with pictures of cute puppies she finally caved and I asked for her help to buy cake on the way to A&W after her girl's outing while I go finish my talk, stall Shahrul until 9pm and go to A&W.

Its all going according to plan *rubs hands together

Fast forward a few hours later

EWTHAB Scene 3:
7pm

Phone rings
N: Hello
D: Najjuaaaa
N: Yes Dyana
D: I otw taw
N: What?! Its only 7pm!
D: I know! but I gerak awal lah
N: But I asked everyone to come late sebab you nak lambat. Habis tue u nak bwat apa 2 jam?
D: I don't know..
Phone rings
N:  Wait my phone's ringing

N: Hello?
S: Bro lu kat mana bro?
N: I kat Shah Alam lagi. baru habis talk. Jam gile nie.
S: Nak klua bile bro? I dah habis
* WHAT?!!!
N: Ermm ahh kejap kejap..I nak gerak la nie...jap byeee

Puts down phone



WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Calls him back

N: Shahrul, Haz mintak I teman pegi CTC documents die la, u pernah dengar ke kene CTC by Uitm staff only? [padahal Haz already told me..muahahha thanks Haz]
S: Ohh pernah pernah. So camna?
*After a few minutes of bickering who should pick up who and where to meet

N: You balik dulu la. I teman Haz nanti I ambik you kat rumah you.
S: Hmmm okay okay. I lapar nie. Cepat. I tunggu.
N: Ok ok. I nak waffles!
S: Okay

Calls Dyana

N: Dyana I otw jumpa you..kite beli kek and balloons and decorate the place dulu..then I pegi ambik Shahrul
D: Yay! Bagus.!
N: Okay see you!

*After enduring traffic jam



So once we were inside my car..

N: Dyana we got an hour left! lets go find the cake and balloons
D: Ok jom!

So we decided to go to the usual party place in Bangsar..we miraculously found an empty spot near the place and we rushed to the store.

N: Dyana macam tutup je?
D: Ehh tgk tue die nak bukak la

We saw a few people opening the shutter thingy

D: You bukak x? please let us buy balloons its an emergency
Guy 1: Sorry we close at 7. Right now we're cleaning up.
N: But please Mr.
Woman 1: Sorry. mumbles something
They both proceeded to look away and ignored us.

Cues thunder and lightning and rain




Like literally people it started raining

As we were rushing back to the car

D: I can't believe that woman. So rude and ugh arrogant and
N: Did you hear what he said at the end?
D: Tak
N: Then how do u know she was rude?
D: Ughh I just geram
N: Im never buying balloons over there again
D: Najjuaaa I xtawla mana lagi nak cari balloons
N: Ermm maybe just get him cake.
D: But where
N: Eh! Kan ada cake kat rumah kireen tue? Aaahh Aaahh ape ek nama die
D: Yes I ingat! Jom!

ETHWAB Scene 4:
9.00pm

Drove to Kireen's house area

N: It should be on our right
D: Haa betul
N: Wait Dyana.. mana die?
D: Hah? cop! bukan kat sini ke? I xtaw!
N: Where is it?!
D: Maybe kat belah kiri?
N: No no it was here!
D & N: DAH TUTUP!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA




Yes so at that point
we had no party decorations and no cake and I was close to giving up when

D: Najjua ada Secret Recipe!
N: Mana?!
D: Tue tue kat situ..kat tepi tue
N: Whaaa..
D: Tepi  Oldtown!
N: Aahla! You're a genius Dyana!
D: Ohh I know. hehehehhe *in that Dyana laugh

So at Secret Recipe nothing happened really..we just argued over cake because I dont wanna spend so much on a cake that in the end Gym freaks won't eat..so we decided on a small brownie cake..

Then by that time it was about 9pm..so Shahrul started calling me..and getting aggravated of course...and I was panicking running in and out of the shop..lying my ass off..I did a pretty good job if I may say so..I mean he even went to eat pizza with his family and had finished eating and I'm still not done..that's kinda bizzare kan..but yeah he totally fell for it..no doubts at all

Then Dyana and I arrived at A&W at around 9.20pm..ohh did I mention we got lost in the huge roundabout that is PJ right now..we had to make one huge turn when we missed one..with crazy cars and my Maps suddenly went AWOL and Waze acting all drunk..and when we finally reached there I was super exhausted and guess what

NOBODY WAS THERE

yeap not only was NOTHING was going according to plan..there was NOBODY there..the birthday boy is pissed at me..his friends are missing and we're there in an overcrowded fast food chain with no private place to sit.

Yeap. After so long, I've been forced by somebodyana to open this grave of a blog and make this post because I recently held a surprise party for Shahrul and I only made a short caption of it on Instragram. So this somebodyana didn't approve and literally guilt-trip me into doing it.

Hence the title..I guess its supposed to say My love turns 24 or He's finally older than me yippee..or something loving and sweet..but whatever..hakikatnya I was FORCED.

So to that somebodyana here's a super long minute by minute post for you to read because we did go through endless torture to make the surprise happen (terima kasih daun keladi yeww) which by the way

TAK JADI LANGSUNG

Like literally

Nothing we planned menjadi.

Either Im getting way too old to plan shit or it was fated that 30th October is a suwey night for planning.I dunno. Hear my story. Then decide.

So lets get the preliminary updates done first

Ok I was looking at my past posts and literally vomited at all the corny as fork love posts I had made for Shahrul. Mungkin kerana dah lama together and all the sparkles and stars  have dried out leaving only the slow but stable chug a chuggin feelin of love..or its because Im just tired..[I go back home, help in the kitchen and literally just flop on my bed and snore away]..or maybe because Im just ancient and have forgotten how to blog heh.

Oh btw Shahrul put a pre-ring on it. YIPPEE! *throws confetti
 His family came to merisik on 31st August [thats another story] and Alhamdulillah everything went smoothly and now we we're in the middle of preparing for our wedding, [ME?! WEDDING?? WHAT?!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!] yeah Najjua and wife and wedding don't really mash well since I have a maturity level of a baby carrot. Ok so relating back to all this, because of the wedding preparations, for this year's birthdays I told him

N: Wei birthday this year I bawak u makan then beli present you la..kite bwat small2 je..sebab nak save duit kan..
S: Okay set

So the plan was it will be a small dinner and then go present-shopping [macam bawak anak klua plak kan], but I dunno I felt like maybe there should be a lil bit more.. I mean I am going to trap him forever soon. he deserves a lil something something. muehehhe.

So I says to meself

"Self self, why don't you gather all of Shahrul's bestfriends to celebrate his birthday? like not just from one group but from his childhood friends to his college besties"
"My my self, what a brilliant idea if I may say so!" *pats myself on the back

So I contacted Mabik and Dyana and told them the plan, which was Im gonna nag to him a few days prior that I wanted waffles from A&W, so I'll ask him to go have dessert there after dinner and present shopping.

So after so many planning and "eh nak bwat hari nie ke hari lain?" and "boleh bwat awal sikit tak or lambat sikit tak?" and "apa kata kau bawak die hari nie pastu surprise hari lain" and it came to a point where there was so many changes and Mabik actually marah me [yes HE marah ME] and said "Aku dah bgtaw semuaorang hari Jumaat. dah jangan tukar. buat Jumaat"...I HATE YOU MABIK.. we finally decided that I'll bring him for dinner and present shopping on his birthday and the next day on Friday [in which we both have a talk at Shah Alam], we'll drive back to PJ and the surprise will take place.

Simple plan isnnit?
Ain't so hard innit?
When I bring him to A&W all his bestfriends will be gathered around the table wishing him suprise! with balloons and maybe streamers and his other best friend Dyana will walk out with the cake right?

WRONG

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG

Everything went to hell and back or EWTHAB for short
Let me explain why

EWTHAB Scene 1:
Thursday 29th October 2015

Birthday boy arrives at Damansara Perdana

N: Happy birthday baby! You nak makan apa? (gatal tanya padahal dah book tempat)
S: Ermm I nak makan Pelicana!
N: But but..bukan u suke arab ke? I nak bawak u makan arab
S: Ohh okay. Then I nak makan Saba restaurant la best. My favourite!
N: What? kat mana tue?
S: Wangsa Maju
N: But but..sempat ke beli present you kat Shah Alam? *place I booked was in Shah Alam
S: Ohh I lupe bgtaw..tempat tue tutup everyday kol 5. So kite kene gi hari Sabtu
*screams internally THEN WHATS THE POINT OF ME BOOKING AN ARAB PLACE IN SHAH ALAM!
N: Ohh ermm.. sebenarnya..ermm I DAH BOOK TEMPAT KAT SHAH ALAM! I NAK SUPRISE YOU DINNER SO IKOT JE I  MAKAN ARAB KAT SANA.
S: Errrr Okay??

Drove to Shah Alam and arrives at *drum rolls

SAHARA TENT!

By then I was nervous as hell because we have a thing where we like to make each other's choices of new places to try as the worst place we've ever been to..so I really didn't wanna spoil his birthday dinner. but then..

Thank God the ambience was nice..we got our own nice little booth..and Shahrul said his lamb mandy was delish! Alhamdulillah.

There was this awesome tent to fit in ten people and the initial plan was to have the surprise there but everyone was broke and it was too far so yadayadayada last2 had a romantic dinner instead.

EKKKKKK!

romantic la sangat..tak sempat tukar baju cantik..he wont let me because he's from work and he said he looked like crap so I should look like crap too..
we were dead tired and in our freaking work clothes. we ate in silence because we were hungry..i had to force him to take pictures..
our booth had this blinds that we can close to create a private atmosphere but when the waiter did close it the first thing he did was clap his hands and say "wow congratulations makan dalam gelap" -.-"
nothing fancy schmancy or exciting happened really..no birthday cake even..we were like two old people getting the obligatory dinner done and over with...but we had that silent comfort whereby we just know..i mean on my part la..that everything was perfect as it is. My man is 24, is old, balding and buff buncit..the promised six pack he said he'll get in 6 months is gone with the wind..but I couldn't have loved him more than I love him at that moment watching him happily stuffing himself with lamb mandy.





So after our dinner, we went back to our respective homes said I love yous and snored to sleep.

EWTHAB Scene 2:
Friday 30th October 2015
OMG!

Okay don't panic.. I can go to the talk then pick him up..stall somewhere and bring him to A&W..which is IN FRONT OF HIS OFFICE btw so confirmla kantoi kan..

Usually my reaction would be

WHAT DO U MEAN??!! I KENE PEGI SORANG! IM GONNA KILL YOU FOR THIS!
But my reaction was



Sweet kan? I was so freakishly understanding..I mean its bizarre..Nasib he didn't notice anything unusual about that..

Meanwhile I was panicking to Mabik because he was supposed to buy the cake but now maybe he's gonna be late because he got work and stuff..
[Hello we were supposed to meet at 9.30pm..I mean who works until 9.30pm on a friday -.-"]


Okay Im super tired now..I mean its almost 3am...I'll just continue this later.believe me there's alot of EWTHABS to come...toodles!
