DAY 32 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY SI HAO!!

The clock struck 12am. Everyone that includes all my China buddies and my close classmates were hiding at the toilet with a birthday cake at hand. Only Fathullah is in the room acting to do his work. Than we heard someone shout ALOHA from outside of our room and that is our signal to get ready to bring the cake out. When that Someone enter the room, he doesn’t really know what is happening at the room. After Fathullah give us another signal we start to walk from the toilet and start to surprise him and sing him the Birthday song.
Monkey Boy need a Monkey Cake!
Don't Cry Mr Si Hao!


It’s SI HAO BIRTHDAY!!! He was shock to see everyone in the room celebrating his birthday. He was speechless after that the only words that can come out from his mouth is Thank You for celebrating the Birthday with him. The local students had prepared for him a gift. It is CD with all of them Singing a Song to celebrate his Birthday and it is a unique give from them and I know Si Hao will keep with him for the rest of his life. Another present that they gave to him is clay that is being mould to a pot. There was Si hao name written in it and other Chinese wordings which i don’t understand. :x

The gift from all of us to him is a monkey cap which he look like a monkey all the time and a white shoe it is simple gift that we have given him and we are glad to celebrate his birthday with him. He cried after that, he was so torch by everything we have did for him. Don’t cry Big Boy. HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY MY BROTHER!! Finally you are 18...

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY TAN SI HAO!!
We ate only have of the birthday cake because all of us was already full when we celebrate his birthday. After we finish celebrating, I need to go up to my friends room to do something important which is PROJECT!
Is Hard Work when Cleaning up the Room!
Common Birthday Boy... Scrub the Floor.. HAHA!

We woke up in the morning with cramp stomach because all of us ate a lot last night. When I woke up I saw the cake at the chair and we plan to give the cake to the rest of the classmates BUT there is a strange smell coming out from the cake. We think was a better idea not to give the cake to them if not that going to have stomach problems. You know what we did with the Cake?! We have a CAKE FIGHT IN THE ROOM!! I was so messy. All of us is cover with cake. HAHA!! And the floor is also cover with cake. After the Cake Fight, we all need to clean the whole room such as scrubbing the floor and whipping the walls. It’s hard work and all of use put the extra effort to make the room extra shiny. :)

Going out with Birthday Boy!
BollyWood Star!
After the clean up, we have make plans to go out with Si Hao to celebrate his Birthday. We going to 江汉路. There nothing much we did after that. We went back and get ready for tomorrow long day of lessons.

Reflection
It’s a happy day for everyone as we celebrate someone birthday that is close to us. Even though we are far away from home and Si Hao is not with his family to celebrate his birthday, we become a second family to him and celebrate this joyess day with him. That’s how close we have become for this trip. We really have grown a lot from one another and understand each other much better. If one of us is feeling down, any of us can go to that person and consolidate that person and cheer him up. After this trip, we all will be much closer than ever before and we have someone that we really trust when we come back to Singapore.
