To add on to aki's blog:
June:
- had been thinking to make something special to celebrate 10 yrs of knowing some of u guys! so borrowed scanner from a fren to do a photo montage...
- started thinking that the photo stuff wouldn't be very practical n somehow, the idea of ez-link card popped into my head. being the one who can never keep secrets, was extremely hard trying to conceal my excitement when i had to msg aki n spinky to ask abt photos n card designs... hehe...
- wanted to make diff ones for each person but was too ex so decided to stick to group one. PAISEH to Mr Kow cos on a tight budget... =P
Dec 16-17:
- found out that it wouldn't be ready by x'mas but hoped that it would be ready by new yr eve since the lady told me it takes abt two weeks.
- bombarded my photoshop pals w designs n asked them for opinions. finally settled on one which i thot could have been better if i wasn't in such a rush to get it done.
- went to singapore mint shop at 730 n found out that it closes at 8pm! then the lady told me that gonna take a month! was quite disappointed but decided that since i was already there, decided to go ahead.
- found out that need their IC #s so that easier for the intended to get refunds etc. frantic calling of groupies:
- first to get call: spinky. cos she's always the most reliable when picking up calls but she din pick up. :P
- next: vin. n he asked "y?" so had to tell him that it was for a lucky draw or secret present or something along that line (which i proceeded to tell everyone else).
- next: aki. wasn't very willing to tell me. was very scared that she juz wouldn't give me but gave me in the end. :P
- next: gz. gave me ic liao but din give me add. heard caroling in the background.
- next: VOC. asked if i was trying to sabo her
- next: Ms dreamer. was easiest to get ic # from. although lucky draw was a totally weird reason, she agreed w/o protest. :P
- next: spinky again. called her house. dad picked up so asked for her mum. always easier to talk to auntie. hee... told auntie that i was preparing a x'mas gift n needed ic, which she gave promptly.
- next: tried to get gz's add. he din return msgs. 2nd round of calling everyone to see if they had his add to no avail. had to link his card to my name.
27 dec noon:
- received call from singapore mint that the cards were ready! blew my plan on packaging the cards nicely due to lack of time.
- arranged w spinky's mum to go to their place when spinky was out.
- asked spinky if she wanted to go watch movie. had no intention to watch cos was actually trying to confirm that she wasn't in. =p
- arrived at spinky's at 7+, got myself invited for dinner (hee... ), chatted w auntie n uncle abt x'mas food, new couches etc... auntie gave me a tour of their house n suggested hiding places.
- 8+: spinky called home to say tat she was already on the way home!!! mass panic! uncle decided to drag her out for dinner while auntie kept telling me that must be because aki din go for dinner w her, o/w usually come home at 10pm.
- scrambled to write clues n hide them. ultra messy cos mixed up the order of the clues... :P
- ran up n down the stairs to hide the clues
- managed to hide the last ones as auntie cried "welcome home!" or something to that extent as spinky walked up to the door.
- cleared the mess n went up to spinky to say hi. to which she said hi back. think she was slightly surprised that i was at her house so explained that i was preping a game.
- was ultra high already from all that running!!! uncle drove us to the mrt stn so that i could take mrt home. n was talking to spinky in excited high pitched tones abt new yr's eve.
To be continued...
