From Antonay - June 21

Everyone have known that Marcus's birthday is Friday June 20 since we got here.....So naturally he has been thinking that we have been planning something to do for him on Friday. It's funny because we actually just started figuring out exactly what it is that we want to do since he is so Weird .........Lol...

When I came back from with my host family last week, I was telling everyone about the Karaoke place that I went to and since then, Marcus has been talking about how he want to go there before we leave. So we decided that that's where we want to have his party. We did our research and found out his favorite foods and flavors and we along with our Chinese friends started planning.

However, because Marcus is so clever, we decided to plan his party on Thursday, the day before his birthday, so that he would be clueless. Chen Laoshi (Ms. Piletz), Marcus and Terrence planned a day out to shop for art, while us girls went "shopping." Well we pretended to shop :)

When we arrived at the Karaoke place, Abbey, our Chines friend, had it decorated so beautifully. So we set out some chicken, his favorite pies, candies and a lemon flavored Birthday Cake and waited for them to arrive....And when they did it was so funny because Marcus didn't have a clue. He was so shocked to the point that it looked as if he wanted to cry.
It was a success. It was Chen Laoshi, Terrance, Shekerra, Ness, Abbey, Felix, Wen Zi, Krystal, Me and Marcus of course and we all sang for hours.....It was one of the better days that I've had here because we enjoyed ourselves together and had plenty of fun. -- Antonay
