Happy Birthday, XueNi!

::4th Apr 10::
Once I've heard that XueNi didn't have plans on her birthday, the cogs in my head started moving and out came a birthday plan; which is heading down to East Coast Park (ECP) to teach XueNi how to cycle as part of her birthday present :) This is also to prepare her for the cycling expedition we'll be having at Pulau Ubin at the end of the month. And with that, I gathered all the Epsilon members to help out :D
I also sewed a handmade scrumps for her as one of the presents :)
A purple one! An Akira★ product.
Beginning.

End product :D

Everyone in Epsilon met up at Tiong Bahru Plaza; except for ShunAn. Had lunch at Long John Silver there before taking bus16 all the way to ECP. And ShunAn later hopped onto the same bus as us somewhere in the Katong area. The weather didn't turn out to be excellent at all :( It has been drizzling since morning. And no, Puikwan and I didn't sing the rain song.
Once we reached ECP, we headed towards a bicycle shop that's renting bicycles at "rent 1hour and get another hour free" rate. And we rented a bicycle. Yes, just one bicycle for XueNi to learn and practice on. So if she managed to master it in the given time, we would all rent bicycles and cycled anywhere in ECP together. With our determined spirits, we must get XueNi her cycling license at the end of the day!
And we are ready to go! :)
Edmund and ShunAn were the first one to teach her...
...while Puikwan and I sat down and acted like 花瓶s :)
So proud; still can take picture.

XueNi had a hard time trying to coordinate her actions. Pedaling and balancing at the same time. She couldn't manage to step on the pedal after pushing off and even when she managed to step on it, she was too afraid to keep pedaling; due to the fear of falling.
After awhile, Edmund and ShunAn suddenly have the urge to roller blade. ShunAn didn't know how to and wanted to learn. Edmund went to teach ShunAn how to roller blade; which was really easy to learn unlike the bicycle. As a result, they stopped teaching XueNi and the task was passed over to Puikwan and I. It was pretty hard for us because we were unable to support her and the bicycle. So we could only teach her by giving verbal instructions.
The bladers.

And after some time, XueNi managed to balance and pedal at the same time! She managed to cycle some distance before giving into fear. Once she got a hang of it, the next problem was her steering. Somehow she was unable to control her steering well and kept cycling towards the right.
Of course, we took spammage of pictures together during the break from cycling, roller blading and being flower vases (花瓶s). And also we discussed about the "cake" issue when XueNi is practicing on her own :X
Team Epsilon! :D

After extending for one more hour, we returned the bicycle + roller blades and went to McDonald's for our dinner!! :) So that's three hours of cycling for XueNi xD Although she didn't manage to get her license but she got the feel of cycling; and once she is able to correct her steering problem. She will be alright :)
Next part of the celebration was a cake surprise! ShunAn and Edmund will pretend that they are going to the toilet, but instead... they will be doing the cake hunting. I have appointed them to do so xD Puikwan and I will be the ones distracting XueNi with our random ramblings so that she won't be looking around for them.
After waiting for ten to fifteen minutes, Puikwan and I were getting rather restless and were running out of random things to say. And then... "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" ShunAn suddenly came through the backdoor with the slice of cake, candle lighted with Edmund following closely behind; and shouted into her ear. XueNi got the shock of her day xD She was really surprised!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, XUENI DEAREST! :D
Her candle, #1.
She didn't like her age number so we got her a one instead.
Anyway, she's one year older than me. Do your maths :X
Polaroid! :)
Edmund, being a dutiful son, putting on the necklace for XueNi xD!!!
Team Epsilon, over and out!
