Of Deceit, Razer and Tiramisu
Some wise dude somewhere (probably already dead and rolling in his grave as we speak) once said, "Nothing is more satisfying than having a plan go smoothly." And perhaps there never was a wise dude who ever said this, BUT the phrase is stuck in my mind anyhow, so either the wise dude:1. Actually did exist (or existed)2. Was a figment of my overwrought imagination (but I only have 200 imaginary friends, that's not a lot D:)3. I'm the wise dude. Awesome!But yes, enough digressing. The immense satisfaction from having a plan go smoothly, the sight of Becks's gobsmacked expression (photos to follow! ... I wish) and her brilliant smile thereafter, made the effort seem as nothing. The plan went basically like this: devise any means necessary to keep Becks awake till 12am (of which the less said, the better) at 11:30pm, gather at my place (or not, Danny and Zongfu made their own way down at 11:45), lie to Becks (hur hur longest shower ever), speed like a demon down to her place (maybe running over a few people or cars along the way, gogo GTA!), huddle at the stairway outside her flat, light the candles on her cake, then sneak into her house (also, of which the less said, the better), and... SURPRISE!Cake in the face!...Or not.Well, there wasn't any cake in the face, otherwise I might be typing this post from a hospital, or maybe not typing this post at all (you guys might have been reading an article about a mysterious youth who plummeted to his death at some HDB estate at 12am - Youth Falls To His Death At 12am! Nearby Residents Have No Idea Who He Is!)And now, you may be wondering, what would have happened had we arrived at her doorstep, only to realize that she wasn't home? Well, that's where our contingency plans come in!Contingency Plan #1: "In the event Becks is not at home."*brrring brrring**brrring brrring*Becks: "Hello?"
Us: "Uhh... Becks, where are you right now?"Becks: "[insert location here]"Us: "Oh. Uhh... Happy birthday!"- end phone call -Proceed to emo at the stairway and eat the cake.Mission Failed.Contingency Plan #2: "In the event Becks is asleep when we arrive."*Bursting into Becks's room*Us: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEC-"Becks unleashes an unspeakable power!Us: *thrown out her window or maimed in graphic and indescribable ways*Becks: "Fools! Your plan has failed!"- your raid has wiped on Becks -Mission Failed.... So... yeah, it's a good thing everything went smoothly. :3Happy 21st birthday Becks!
