I have been telling everyone back home in Malaysia that I will complete my exams only on the 29th of May when in reality it already ended on the 14th.
Well, actually this was part of my multiple surprise plan as I changed my arrival date from the 10th of June to May 21st instead! This wouldn't have been possible without the help of cousin Malar & aunty Shegari who kept the secret all the way till crunch time!
Surprise No.1 : Mom & Granma
The airport limo that I took from KLIA, brought me straight to the doorsteps of my home at USJ 2. As I rang the doorbell (a new one), the maid came to see who it was and started telling my grandmother, that 'adik besar' is here. Since, no one could've guessed that I would actually be coming home on the 21st, granma thought it was hel oldest grandson instead.
Much to her surprise, it was ME!!!! She started calling my mum in a teary voice the moment she saw me outside the house. As I entered the house, my mum just came out of the prayer room and burst into tears because of the pleasant surprise! It was a joy filled moment as my mum was already grumbling to another relative that I have been gone for too long!
Well, I'm back now, though not for good yet, 4 months is a decently good amount of time! As mum had prepared my favorite dishes, mutton briyani & cheese cake as she was under the impression that a family friend will be arriving later to send this food to me while in transit to London!
The food never made it to London, why does it have to, when I am already here? Yum, yum, yum, how much I have missed home cooked food!
Surprise No.2: Brother
Initial plan, I wanted to hide in the room n jump out of obscurity to surprise him but was advised against it as he might have panicked & ran down the stairs in fright!
Hence, I just made my grand entry when he was trash talking to my grandma n mom. The surprise entry left him startled and shocked. He was in disbelieve and kept on asking my mum, "how come he is back so early?"
Surprise No.3: The Gang (Kei,Iz & Fiona)
Special thanks to Fei for playing an important role in this surprise!
Kei suspected something amiss when she saw farewell messages from my friends in UK. Fortunately, yours truly managed to convince her that I was still in London at my friends place.
So, once again I made my grand entry while they were waiting in the theatre watchin 'Night At The Museum 2'. Here are their responses:
a) Iz: Nigga...wtf u doin here?
b) Kei: See i knew you were back already?
c) Fiona: Evil one, how can you trick the other evil one?
I will post my movie review on another day! But, the best part of it was watching with the friends that matter! It was great to watch a movie together after so long!
