yes stef had planned on giving mei's early birthday present, which is a makeover voucher at Jazreel Collections.
Sheena and me then went on planning how to surprise her and blah blah.. initially it was just supposed to tell her that sheena struck 1000 bucks lottery and wanted to take us to lawry's... so that she will bring an extra dress then after that we'll probably go clubbing. we wanted to do this on the 18th actually but since the make up artist were all unavailable till on the 22 so we had to push it back. (24th is my exam =() but never mind, at least i studied hard this week to make it up. Oh and to avoid suspicions why to Jazreel?, i made up an excuse that my cousin is getting married and had asked me to go and help him look up certain pricing for photoshoot and bridal dress rental.
But somehow we decided to be on the safe side, might as well get sheena to say that she wants to borrow meiyi's dress for a wedding dinner, so as to ensure that she will bring the dress out and since i took her to watch a dance concert, Burn the Floor (it was fantastic!! awesome... and full of handsome angmohs), so she still has to wear a bit nicer.
The day before i already told sheena that she should wait at jazreel at 6 since the dance will end at 4. and i told her to wait and hide inside. it was a carefully thought plan!
Today mei turned up about 10 min after 3 and our show was supposed to start at 3. Well she was worried that they wont let us in, thank god we could. She was late becos she had gone to cut and dye her hair! I thought it was perfect since she will be taking a makeover, so with the new hairstyle and colour, she will love her pics. She looked nice and i love her new hairstyle and colour. After the show we grabbed something to eat since both of us didnt have lunch (mei didnt have breakfast either, so i was luckier) ALthough i wasnt hungry initially, but my gastric was givving me problem so we ended up at KFC sharing a meal, cos mei was afraid that she couldnt eat dinner later. ( at that time i msged sheena to get us some bread in case we got too hungry waiting during the photoshoot, and i tot if mei is still hungry we could let her eat some bread before she put on her make up.) i was worried that she gets too hungry. kept asking her to eat more, cos afterall the lawry's was just a scheme.
So after that while we were making our way to the mrt, mei got herself a new pair of heels! very pretty heels. So new hairstyle, new haircolour, and new shoes. perfect right. And i think her dress can be considered new lah cos i think she's only worn it 2 or 3 times only. SO when we reached Tg Pagar, while walking the whole shophouse of bridal showrooms, we got a lot of brochures and looked as if oone of us is getting married. I got a lot of brochures!!! While walking down from far i could see jason's car, i was so worried that she might notice it. JAson's car is very very very obvious with the white stripes on a black Matrix! then a sms came from sheena, " i couldnt find parking slot, so had to park right in front of the store!".
So i just walk a bit quickly to let her catch up with me so that she wont have time to look left or right. Before entering, i told mei that later i will need her help to translate some of the chinese writings in my cousin's letter (HK cousin u see) but that letter were actually a note from stefanie. SO the moment i entered, the shop i gave her the note and let her read it. While the whole idea was sinking in, i called sheena. And then she got the whole idea and was surprised!! Whoa she really didnt have an idea at all! (why wud she anyway) So i told her to read the note carefully and to guess who give her the present. Right away, she almost screamed stef's name! well had to make sure that she knows that it was stef's present and not ours. we were just carrying the surprise thing out. practically right away she was seated at the dressing table and being made up. she couldnt stop laughing and smiling. At the end of her make up, i was telling the make up artist that i think shudnt have put blusher since mei's whole face were already red from the laughing and the happiness.
Mei looked very very pretty and gorgeous, really! I was like stunned when she came out wearing her dress. I was studying the whole time she was being made up and had her hair styled. Her hair-styling was very fast. One moment i was just looking down and digesting on how to plot graph, the next moment, i saw her all set and ready to take the pictures! I was stunned, cos meiyi was really very pretty and she looked stunning i tell u!
Too bad we werent allowed to take pictures in the shop or the studio itself. It was
'company policy' . So me and meiyi took quite a lot of pic in the car. Sheena was driving. The pictures of mei and sheena is at sheena's camera. I only had those that i took with mei. after eating dinner, mei came over to my place (no she didnt stay, it was just that she wanted to wash her hair before going home. she couldnt stay cos her mum n dad will probably grilled her and i wudnt be able to study if she stays.). we took a bit of pictures and then just hang out a while before she went back home.
