the 16 year old birthday party

A few years back, i got to know a friend of a friend, her name was Fi. From the first time we met, it didnt take long for us to built solid rapport and become good friends. she was a happy-go-lucky, witty, free spirited, funny with a simple yet sexy fashion sence and to top it all off, she was an attractive girl.

                                                         [Forgive me, Im a lousy artist]

A few weeks after, a friend of mine M who i wasant exaclty close to invited me to her little sisters 16th BIRTHDAY BASH!!. Since Fi and i have been hanging out together quite often, i decided to ask her to accompany me to the birthday party. The epic event was held at a chalet somewhere in the Changi area.

Fi wore a bright yellow sundress suited for casual beach affairs. The outfit went well with her shiny caramel skin and revealed just enough of one of her few sexy assets.. her legs. With her wavy hair untied, always playfully falling in place and her simple make up that made her eyes and lips pop, she was ready for half-barbequed chicken and cake!

When we arrived, we observed that most of the party-goers has either celebrated too little or abit too many birthdays of their own. it became apparent that it was a family event and calling me to attend was a desparate cry to fill up the numbers so that it dosent look that M's sister has no friends or acquaintances of her age group. everyone was sitting on the patio chit-chatting or grabing a few bites.

We met M and she pointed out the birthday girl. She was a fair-skinned girl with high cheek bones and shouder length healthy black hair; she was also chubby; and was dressed in a black and pink outfit which was not the most flattering instrument of fashion i must say. the birthday girl seemed preoccupied with her other cousins so we decided to have proper salutations later.

We decided to check the chalet out. We started giggling at the entrance because above the door on a huge piece of luminous pink vanguard sheet, were the words " WELCOME TO DA CLUB!!" wildly painted in black and outlined with thick glitter with the exclamation marks zig-zagged abit.

In the hall way, decorated on da.. excuse me, the wall were pictures of the birthday girl from a toddler to present day accompanied by the words "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY DIAMOND" we covered our mouths to restrain ourselves from LOL and ROTFL coz we were totally like.. OMG!!! WTFH!!

                                                                    [Hehehehekk....]

We went to the restroom (one at a time mind you) to relieve ourselves and head back out.

Outside we mingled and socially fluttered around with friends and family till we got hungry (damn us for our young bodies and high metabolic rates). To remedy our hunger we took some barbequed food and noodles and sat at a table which was only occupied by the event's photograper. Conversation with him was pretty undramatic until the part where he kept insisting that Fi looked really familiar and asked questions like " did u do modeling?" "were you on tv?" "do you know this guy or that guy?" all to which Fi politely answered "no" "never" and "i dont think so". cameraman exhausted his inquisitive drive after that.

After we cleared our plates, he told us he wanted to take a picture of us and we obliged. After 2 snaps camerman wanted to take fi's pic alone. I found it abit akward but he explains that he is building up his portfolio. I looked at Fi, raised my eyebrow and jerked my head up slightly in a bid to silently ask " what do you think?" she found it harmless and nodded back at me. Cameraman then took 2 more of her smiling with a simple pose.

                                                                  [Hiissss...]

Soon, it was time to cut the cake. As we waited for everyone to gather around the long picnic table for the iconic ceremony, the cameraman took a few snapshots of the people already present there including Fi and I. He then took me by the wrist and pulled me to the front of the table dragging Fi along. He then started snapping our pictures ignoring the crowd behind us including the birthday girl. His shots took abit to long i guess which agitated the birthday girl who suddenly exclaimed " ok EVERYBODY gather around NOW, IM THE BIRTHDAY GIRL OK.. IM THE PARTY.." We kinda of got the hint so i signaled cameraman to take the group photo.

After cake, cameraman came to talk to us again. He was really starting to bug us; The situation transformed from "ok akward" to "akward akward" like some guy confessing that he masterbates about the cats he keeps in his home kind of akward akward. but he kept his calm friendly demeanour (which make me suspect that he is a sociopath) which I in return dispay the same caliber of mannerism. after repeating the same ive-seen-you-somewhere scenerio with Fi, he directed his attention to me, asking basic small-talk questions. Fi felt ignored and got bored so she decided to do a sexy dance beside me to the RnB song blasting from the chalet. she always likes the attention. i took notice n told her to keep her booty swaying on a "down-low" for its a family event and also theres a debatable weird guy in our presence.

We excused our selves and i finally got to sit with M and her fiance and we talked for a bit. She thanked us sincerely for comming and we verbally expressed how it was our pleasure. She then called her sister to introduce us. "Baby Diamond" came unsmilingly, nodded, gave a few grunts and then skipped off.... M apologised on behalf of her sisters behaviour. We told her not to be silly for its not her fault.

                      

We went to the loo again but stayed indoors afterwards to get away from everyone. The sound system was blasting hits from Alicia Keys and Tokyo Hotel. Eventually, with the knowledge that no one was paying attention to us, we dirty danced with each other till it was midnight, time to head home.

We bid our farewell to everyone and got in the cab.

In the cab I asked Fi " you had fun?"

Fi: " yeap!"

Me: "best part?"

Fi: thinking.. "the part where baby diamond screamed " THIS IS MY PARTy OK, IM THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!!"

I blankly stared into her eyes

Fi: " what?" raising an eyebrow

I gave a cheeky grin and whispered in her ear.. "that was mine to.."

We laughed and pretty much reminisce about the party throughout the whole journey.
