She said yes!

Felt like the week was over in the wink of an eye, literally! Had a ton of fun yesterday too helping brother eric out for his secret mission: lying to sister kassey that he was overseas for a photoshoot on the eve and the exact day of her birthday, surprising her on her birthday & then the proposal.

He needed a little help for the big occasion so who better to enlist then the IGNYTERs themselves? Namely the AF folks, few grads, and our grp (beng,osy,josh,justin,ali,jan,esther,nat & myself). Our grp of 'younger' people were given stations. First station Serene centre, second Colds Storage, third Botanic's Toilet, fourth Car park entrace and so on, you get the drift. Everyone of us (there were 8 stations) were given a present that we had to give to her - we cld either make believe we happened to bump into her, or just make her answer questions. After alll, she thought the leaders planned it, and not brother Eric. She was blind folded by the leaders all the way and they brought her station by station. It was epic. Our group were split 2 by 2s and totally just pretended we were at our stations to 'wait for ppl', to have 'supper', or 'on the way home', or 'just happened to be there'.

I headed to meet my sis and osy at batok after school ended to get a coupla things, dropping by Giodarno to see auntie again was nice. Bus-ed to Serenes while doing RJ on the bus (so hard working can u believe it) and getting to Macs, eat & do math at the same time (Os are in 2 days) while waiting for the rest of the secret mission team to arrive.



After being briefed and given the SOC by commander brother eric, we set off! Walked all the way to Botanics feeling very excited about the whole thing. Me and mei were stationed at the centre where the carpark entrance was. Tons of bats, and mosquitos ): So we walked up and down the roads, which got abit scary so we plugged in and just walked in circles as we sang to songs like Dejavu, UR man and all the other stuff. Once she passed by Osy's stage, we got an sms and got into position! Wanted to make it seem like we were walking down the road casually, so we walked back and forth and reversed and in all directions util we FINALLY saw her. ' EHHHH sister kasseyyyy~ hello hello. Whoa u all having surprise ah so exciting. Ohhhh we on the way home now just came here for HTHT lor. Eh anyway sister kassey i bought u something, just nice can give u now dont have to wait till tml lah hor? Okay byeeee' After the moment she was blindfolded we made a MAD DASH all the way down to the stage.


In sweats and all, the youths gathered there. She finally came. We hid behind bushes and kept our volume down, while they sang her birthday song and prayed over her. I think that was the longest birthday prayer man! EVERYONE took turns to pray (those that were ard her i mean). Long enough for the choir to get ready and for us to light the candles that spelt 'WILL U MARRY ME'. Tell me about it, uphill, slippery terrain, 2 lighters and just passing candles down, it was no wonder they had to buy time for us. HAHAHA :D


Once they un-blindfolded her, yes she was very obedient and just looked straight (because the words were already lit) and started tearing as the grads & AFs sang to the tune 'Always be my baby' by David cook. After the song brother kelvin led her to the candles and asked her to read it out. While her back was turned, Mr. Gwee then appeared, kneeling on the ground.



And of course her first reaction - I THOUGHT U IN KL?! You lie to me! HAHAHA, but yes she was pleasantly surprised and of course agreed to marry him :D


Mission accomplished. It was definitely worth the late night out & the whole lot of sweat (:

I met Sister kassey up for lunch today, which was awesome and we just talked (: Super thankful to know that there are leaders who treat me like family (: TeNet was great, so was service and so was dinner. I've only got one thing on my mind now and that's Math. I'm giving sch a miss on monday, hoping to do last minute preparations for the paper on tues & wed afternoon. Wish me luck!
