It was nothing but chocolate and tasted like brownies. It also contained enough sugar in a single crumb to kill a diabetics person. And he only brought one candle. Cheapskate!

I would have preferred Haruhi, but oh well. Okay, so it was actually umehiko. She drew a lot of stares at Bugis MRT when we were gathering. LOL. Can you imagine wearing that and eating steamboat in an under ventilated basement? \u00e8\u2039\u00a6\u00e3\u0081\u2014\u00e3\u0081\u009d\u00e3\u0081\u2020\u00e3\u0192\u00bb\u00e3\u0192\u00bb\u00e3\u0192\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Everyone sang a birthday song to the tune of any anime-related songs. Then the final group birthday song was replaced by COLORS (Code Geass OP1). LOL. Best birthday song ever. I made a wish (&#8220;world peace&#8221;) and blew out the only candle.
