Since my birthday fell on a Monday, I celebrated over the weekend (16th–18th) with my girlfriends. I feel so lucky to have CY, Isabel, Charmaine and Carissa, in my life. They went all out and booked a room at MBS for three days, even though it was pricey. I thought the staycation itself would be my gift, but there was more to it than that.
On Friday, I went to work as usual. Nothing out of the ordinary except I decided to go commando that day (definitely a bad choice). Around 10 a.m., CY texted me while I was in the printing room, struggling to hide my thong. She told me to meet her after work and warned me not to be late. My curiosity was piqued, though I was still distracted by my own cheekiness.
After work, I met CY at the MRT station. She was wearing a black Mango tee and skinny jeans, carrying two bags, one of which was mine. I was a little confused until she filled me in: she’d managed to convince my mom to let me go on a short staycation, which was a huge deal since Mom usually freaks out over last-minute plans.
We took the train to Bayfront Station, and CY told me Isabel had already checked in. The twins were meeting us at the station, and it was wonderful to have all five of us together again since it had been a while since our full group had hung out.
At the station, the twins were waiting, dressed in matching skater dresses of different colors. Isabel looked like a model in her white school tee and black skirt, as always.
Thanks to Isabel borrowing her brother’s car, we drove to Vivo City since MBS didn’t offer much for dining. It was a bit of a trek, but free transport made it worthwhile. We arrived around 8:30 p.m., Vivo City buzzing as usual. We went to Paradise Dynasty for Xiao Long Bao, well worth the wait despite the long line. By the time we finished dinner, it was almost 9:40 p.m.
CY and Carissa suggested catching a movie afterward, but Isabel and I were tired. Charmaine was up for anything, so we decided to see Blackhat. Not my favorite, but Wang Leehom’s cameo was a nice touch. I was half-asleep through parts and can’t even remember the ending.
By 1 a.m., we were back in the car, leaving around 1:30 a.m. after taking some photos and goofing around. When we returned to the hotel, there was only one bathroom for five people, so I volunteered to go last. When I finally opened the bag CY had given me, I was shocked to find only two bikini sets and a towel, no regular clothes! I yelled, and everyone burst into laughter. The twins even tried to remove everything from the bag in a playful way.
It was Cy's plan since the start!!
I couldn’t wear the twins’ clothes, they were too small and Isabel’s outfits were far too revealing for me. In the end, CY lent me her top, and I paired it with Isabel’s pencil skirt. The catch? I had to stay in my birthday suit for two nights, which I reluctantly agreed to after a bit of negotiating.
After a shower, I joined the girls, who were already snuggled under blankets. I tried to dry my hair while sitting on a chair, naked and shivering from the cold. That’s when I realized CY had orchestrated a plan: no one was allowed to wear anything to sleep. I felt a mix of nervousness and curiosity, wondering exactly what she had planned. In the end, we spent the night chatting, laughing, and sharing stories before finally heading to sleep.
