Jialong's 21st Birthday


30 April 2005. This is the most pleasant bithday celebration that I had attended, out of the many 21st birthday celebrations I've been to. All credited to the Peiyun, the mastermind behind every scene, it was a successful turnout and a successful surprise party for Jialong.

It almost looked like a wedding day, when the horde of friends and relatives hogged the corridor outside his unit. The mastermind had gathered everyone to ambush Jialong right at his home. While he was told to meet everyone in town later on, he was still slacking around at home, probably prepared to be late. After the trespassing, I saw everyone in the house filled with the victorious smile of a successful raid on their pal. It was, too, a joyous smile.

The party carried on at the BBQ pit beneath the block, where kids from the neighbourhood even joined in the fun. It seemed as if everyone present in the park commentated the occasion. The smoke rose from the pit, laughters broke almost non-stop from the horde, kids with their skipping ropes, the soccer fanatics and their ball, the birthday boy and his face of cream... Like May had descirbed, it is filled with love. A lovely day.
