Flours

I hate birthdays,it reminds me how old i'm getting...Then there are some birthdays that just makes me wish i had one every day.I knew it was coming,but i didn't exactly know when.When Way Zhen suddenly took out his so called very big 'dinner' before the Spain-Germany match,i had to be dumb not to suspect something was up (who eats dinner at 2 in the morning?).And yup,figured it was the birthday cake.And yes it was.And no,i didnt wish for Spain to win the World cup.It was around 5 after the match and we were at the front of my house when the gang said they had a big surprise for me.And so,being the dumb dumb i am, i let them blindfold me with someone's stinky shirt.Under all that horrendous smell,it was baffling to think i was actually guessing what that surprise could be.Could it be a Spain Jersey?Could it be a pair of flip flops?Or could it even be a new pair of sneakers i so desperately need????When Dan finally said,'You can open your eyes now',it only hastened my imagination...Could it Possibly be tickets to go watch the final at South Africa???My eyes then slowly began opening in anticipation of my big surprise.But my eyes however,needed time to adjust itself cos' what was now in front of me wasn't a pair of sneakers,nor is it tickets to the final but it pretty much looked like a firing squad armed with flour ready to lay waste on me!!And there i was standing stupified and letting them hit me with what look like snowballs before managing to wrestle Mun hong onto the ground.Took his packet of flour and began returning fire.We were like kids running in the playground with their favorite toy on a Sunday evening.Only thing different is,the playground was the side of the road.The toy was a packet of flour.And the Sunday evening was actually Thursday early morning.When the chaos ended,the whole row of houses on my side of the house was filled with white flour in front if their gate.I dont blame the neighbors for wanting to evict us out now =)

Mom sent me to school that morning.She always had a keen eye for something that's misplaced or different and so, she spotted the luminous white powder in front of the house with ease and she asked 'Whaaat is that white colour thing in front of the house?".I,sitting next to her in the car,can only shake my head and smile widely while my mom kept wondering...
