31st January is the birthday of our dear friend, Brendan!
He is a Unicorn! last year he had his bday celebrated at UNICO probably that’s where the theme Unicorn came from 😉 who knows and this year we had the “Sssssshhhhhhh” team to bring back the Unicorn 😀 Thanks to the EPIC organizer- Rich, handsome Freddoy and Boramy who organized the party with all the decorations, yummy food and the master plan.
Rich posted on the group that the Unicorn party is ready! and it made me very very not be able to concentrate at work due to I really want to go to the party as fast as I can! haha Rich is always EPIC there’s no other word for him.
Because the “Sssshhhh” group suddenly getting bigger and bigger, and Brendan started to asking people if we are in Shanghai and could have dinner together, our group manager’s Freddoy said that we need to say something like “we’re busy or we had other plan” and that’s what we did! Aaron said he had football, fancy Anthony said he’s sick and btw he’s really sick but still managed to look so fancy by covering his face with a mask haha, Ben said he’s packing, John said he’s got a date, Raoul said he need to work late blablabla up to the point that we were afraid Brendan will figure it out due to anyone came up with an excuses haha. Then Freddoy gave a very not so easy to understand group rule, I need to read it 3-4 times to understand it haha 😉
I arrived at Rich’s home then followed by Boramy and Aaron, Boramy prepared the food, I helped them to blew the unicorn, Aaron helped me to put the legs, then followed by Luis, Ben, Marina and Thorben. Rich’s mansion was very well unicorn-ish decorated.
As Boramy putting the food on the table, some people started to eat first while Brendan still nowhere to find, according to Marina it was Ben and Luis that started eating so she followed but Boramy said “NO, eat the bread with this dipping so Brendan didn’t find out that we already started eating” Marina made the cheese dipping looks neat again but then she said to me “No, you can’t have this dipping, it’s already looks nice” phewww 🙁
THEN! We got a news that Brendan almost arrived, so we need to have a formation to surprise him, we even practiced of how to do it 2 times! haha Boramy met Brendan first and then they came up to Rich’s home where Freddoy was the one that opened the door, and then everyone yelled SURPRISE! while I was shouted WOHOOOO (that was Aaron’s order) 😀
Prepare! 
Formation! 
SURPRISE! 
Is he surprised?
Yeayyy!!! We made it 😀 then we can officially start the party heyyy we are all in black! you need to realize it haha. We started to freely eat the food, drinks, taking pictures, loudly talking because when Brendan arrived me and Marina kept “ssshhhhhh-ing” everyone haha. #Marina is so German! haha
At some point, Thorben started to inhale from the balloon to make chipmunks voice, I tried it but on the first, second, third times I was failed, I don’t know how to do that but in the end I could make it! Marina said that I need to inhale it all the way to the lungs and stomach and then say the magic words! haha I want to keep trying but then we (read: Thorben) need to open the balloons again, I was just watching him and I said “come on Thorben” he said “open this by yourself” and indeed it was not as easy as I thought hahaha! so I just patiently waiting for Thorben’s.
I looked so patient waiting for Thorben’s 
Inhale it all the way just like Marina has told me 
Voilaaaa!
I remembered once at Nicolas’ home party, Brendan tried to popped out the balloons with me but I always not be able to do that, let’s see if I can popped out the balloons this time. I tried it but I still failed! In the end Brendan just popped it out huaaa let’s try again next time!
It was cake time! cake cake cake! Marina was so German again, she said this is already 9:46 PM! the cake should be cut at 9:45! mwahaha and Boramy realized it and she said “OK, it’s time, it’s time!”
I really had much fun yesterday and I could tell that everyone is having fun also, I hope it’s included Brendan’s colleague, the one that he said there will be dinner but sorry! no dinner was planned on the first place! hahaha.
