It. Was. Awesome.
Well I look huge in the photos and I'm never caught with a decent look on my face but oh well, it was a really good party. One hell of a night. And my emcee-ing actually went over pretty well! The poem I wrote for the brother was well received. And all praise to the Lord, right up to the last minute, Joash never figured out that some of our friends and his sisters were planning a surprise performance behind his back. Victory!!!
It was hell keeping it from him though.
Almost caught red handed moment #1
I was working on the list of songs that Joash liked when he grabbed my notebook from me. Same thing happened when I was working on the mash up of the lyrics. Mr. Grabby I tell you....
Almost caught red handed moment #2
We had a group on Whatsapp to discuss practice times and stuff. And since Joash loves to read my texts so much, I named the group "ASM Assignment" so that he wouldn't possibly be interested in reading it. But I forgot that mine weren't the only texts he likes to read. He got into Leanne's Whatsapp when we were having lunch one day and suddenly asked "What's ASM Assignment?". Leanne grabbed the phone and well, she's not the best at playing it cool. She looked at me with her 'what the hell' face which led Joash to ask even more questions.
"EH what's ASM assignment?", "What does ASM stand for?", (to me) "How come you know and I can't know?", (to Leanne) "You're not in college yet how come got assignment all?". I have no idea how we avoided all those questions.
Then he read Juliana's Whatsapps too and found the ASM Assignment group. Thank goodness for little miracles; he didn't remember where he had seen the name ASM Assignment before. Phew!
Almost caught red handed moment #3
Our last practice (Which was our first practice with the whole group. Well excluding the guys who all flaked *angry face*) was the day before the party and boy was it chaotic. Our host went missing and couldn't be reached, mom almost blurted out the whole thing in front of the brother, the brother wanted me to follow him to wherever he was going and I had to lie and say I had to stay home to finish his slideshow, and of course we thought we were going to spend our practice time squished into Lisa's car. But things turned out okay. Avean showed up after a while and we used his place to practice, our singing wasn't that bad even though everyone chose their own key to sing in (LOL), and the parents kept Joash away like pros.

Although even that almost went to hell. The sister thought she had left her house keys at Avean's house and we only realised it when we were walking home from dinner. Since Avean's place was a little further, he said that he'd pass it to Joash later when he went over to give Avean his camera. Little did we remember that WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN AT AVEAN'S PLACE!! So when Joash started asking questions when he was looking for the keys Avean panicked and came up with the weirdest story of all time that involved him bumping into Nathalie and asking her to come over to hang out and then calling me and the sister over or sooomething like that la. Luckily Joash just thought Avean was losing his mind rather than that something weird was going on.
I'm never attempting to keep secrets from Joash ever again -_-'
The awesome emcees of the night!! Okay this is only one of the two or three pictures I look decent in.
Larry: I just wanna tell you all, how much I love this guy.
Joash: Oh stop it, you.
Just kidding, this was Larry doing his stand up to entertain people while they were eating.
What did I tell you? Look at my face. Although Joash looks veeeery happy with his guitar shaped cake. Which he proceeded to smash in my face by the way. Thank goodness that photo didn't go on Facebook. Phew!
And this was the most chaotic performance in the history of performances. Hopefully not too many people were paying attention...
Anyway it was a great party, though mom must be relieved that all the 21st birthdays in the family are over. I'm pretty sure that when the sister eventually gets married, our entire extended family is going to be banned from the bar.
Oh well, clearly the birthday boy had fun and I suppose that was the point :)
Cheers!
