Wow.
Wow again.
...
Yesterday was possibly one of the best days of my life. Thank you.
Long post. Beware. Btw. Yesterday was 37 degrees.
The day was planned previously, I was meant to go to
house to bake some cakes with
and
. However, they changed it the night before so that I would go meet BokChoi/Fat Choi/Awesome Choi (He's never actually told me his real first name....) at Flinders Street so we could get lunch first.
I missed my train.
Ha, I could see
going "Jannette!~~~" from inside the train as I saw it glide past. Disaster.
Anyway, when I did go to the station BokChoi treated us to these real yummy waffles down one of the side alleys. Halfway through his first waffle, he picks up his phone and says "I'll be right back".
He never came back. (Poor him, that means he didnt get his second waffle!)
10 minutes later whilst Anna and I were wondering where he had gone, I get this weird SMS on my phone.
"Jann, you are on a mission today. Get the next clue from Anna and move to the next checkpoint"
I show Anna the message. She looks at me blankly and goes, "What clue?"
"..."
"Let's go check out balsa wood"
"Ok."
*messages BokChoi back* "Anna says what clue? We're going to look at balsa wood"
BokChoi reply: LOOK HARDER
So whilst I was looking for balsa Anna decided it would be fun to unearth this mystery clue and finally give it to me.
"Go to the Royal Botanical Gardens - You will find your next clue in an envelope pinned to a tree"
"...."
"Anna. Do you know how many trees there are in the Botanical [i]Gardens[/i]???!"
"..."
So we went to the gardens, where there was this guy I'd never seen before stalking us, and I found a pair of my friends acting suspicious behind a fat tree. I went around, to find Mond and Syndi trying to hide my clue, with Mond attempting to climb the tree to put my clue in there.
After I got the clue of Mond and Syndi (Go to the ABP Library and Find a Book with the Clue inside) I went to said library and found Michael and Jon there, and then spent a frustrating amount of time looking for various favourite architects of the clue hiders, and flipped through a ridiculous amount of books. I was then told to go to the Royal Exhibition Centre, where I would have to do two laps around the building before i would get my next clue from Annika and David.
At this point I was kinda dying. It was hot - very hot - and humid, and I was trekking around the city. At which point
came to the rescue, he appeared out of no-where with sustainance.
I was then led to the Old Courts where my challenge was to draw the building (the clue was guarded by
and
), Anime-style, before I received my next clue, which led me to a funnily named cafe where I had to solve a Rubicks cube in 10 minutes (GAH) to receive my reward.
My reward, from
was a Wasabi sauce chocolate cake, which was so so rich! There, I was suprised by
and Bek! Woot!
My next clue (the reward for finishing the cake lol) led me to Federation square, where my friends got "Happy Birthday Jannette!" To appear across the message board there
.
Afterwards, I was led to Camberwell Station, blindfolded, disoritentated, and spun until I reached this wall, where Mond reappeared and walked me into a staircase. Inside the building, they removed the blindfold and I was facing 19 chocolate cupcakes, each with candles in the middle, and a few dozen of my friends from all over the joint! It was awesome!
(O... I almost died at that point coz I had no energy left to blow out the candles. I tried... really really hard!)
That was it... but then... there was "present time". I thought I was done with suprises, but all my friends there had chipped in to buy me the new iPod touch, coz they had found out my old one was broken.
I couldn't believe their kindness... I almost died with shock!
And Anna made me this cute cute compartment box with tiny googly eyed men in it!
I would like to send my love to Potato, Special thanks to Barbie, Alan, Anna, Michael and John for making it the best birthday ever.
I love you all
