the bittersweet symphony of life

Hey there. Betcha can guess that i’m not yenli right from de title [really obvious, unless u're as blur as yours truly, ]. Anonymous Guest Blogger(AGB) here under duress from de true blogger *swt* A lack of pics can be discerned here, an oversight on my part. Had no idea “I” needed to blog any of this.

ABG’s POV:

Got a call from Yen asking if i was free. Turned out she needed a ride to Cake Sense to buy 2 b’day cakes for her mum & a fren. Not to mention my IC card as proof to get a 31% discount on de cake. Feelin used here…

LOL. JKJK It’s great that I’m able to help out

Waited ard 45 mins past de appointed time b4 we could finally set off. (Didn’t feel so great then…*swt*)

1st Stop (Cake Sense):

We could only choose from de display.

Fortunately there was quite a variety of choc types to pick from.

After much agonising, Yen finally decided to go wif the 2nd (Converture Chocolate) & 3rd (Costa Rica Chocolate) cakes from the left in de bottom row. De final decision on who gets which cake shall be left up to Yen’s mum. Smart move on Yen’s part. *thumbs up*

2nd Stop (Florist):

We dropped by a cheap looking florist in SS14. Yen wanted to give her mum a surprise at de office. So sweet… Yen wanted a dozen blood red doses for her mum. So romantic…

De illusion was shattered when de florist informed us it cost RM40 for a normal wrapping n RM60 for a fancy one. O.O Bloody EXP!!! RM20 xtra just for de special wrapping.

So in de end, Yen decided to go for 1/2 a dozen roses, specially wrapped for only RM35 (cheapskate, LOL).

A further RM9 was spent on an xtra heart deco n a card. (not so cheapskate, LOL)

For RM41 de bouquet looked pretty good, altho i’ve no right to judge. I haven’t bought any1 flowers since highschool days. We needed to bribe teachers back then for de xtra points

Unfortunately, viewers can’t judge either as i forgot to take de pic of de final outcome. (Oopsie on my part, sorry Yen) Hence u guys can only see de pics of de roses sans “special” wrapping above.

3^rd Stop (De B’day Lady’s office):

When we reached de office, she was agonising over how to proceed. She wanted to just leave the flowers wif de receptionist so her mum wouldn’t know that she didn’t spend money on delivery, LOL.

Hence, Yen’s “brilliant” idea to make me pose as a delivery gal. I had my doubts. I was dressed in a sports jacket, racer-back, shorts n beach sandals. In other words, nothing like how a decent delivery gal should be dressed like.

When I rang de bell, yen’s mum’s colleague let me in. De plan was doomed as this fella saw yen in my car as we were deciding how to go abt de surprise. He wondered why Yen didn’t just go in herself to spring de surprise. He even tried to persuade her to deliver de surprise herself. Fortunately, it turns out her mum was in a meeting so Yen asked de colleague to leave it on de desk as a surprise wif special instructions to not disclose her presence here. I have my doubts on that too…

>>> All-in-all it was a worthwhile outing. “Almost” everything Yen set out to do was accomplished. LOL. Yen’ll have to be de judge of that. Hope i got everything right Yen. If not de Edit opiton’s always there.
