My weeks of planning has finally come to fruition...
This little surprise for Yu was intended as her 21st birthday gift.
Got her blinded folded in ZQ's car and brought her to the aquarium to dive with the dugong and other marine mammals.
On our way, we picked up LQ and HJ dicreetly without her knowledge..We made her think that 3 of us were going for a picnic..
Yu's boyfriend, Tat was already there. When her blindfold was removed and found herself at the aquarium, she looked a little disappointed cos Tat brought her there 3 days ago...
"Oh, this time is different, you'll go in dry but come out wet..."said LQ...Yu got our hint and couldn't believe her ears. She appeared very nervous and apprehensive as she's not been diving for 8 months... Though we keep convincing her that she would have a good time in there, her signs of tension were apparent when LQ and I accompanied her backstage to get her prepared for her dive : extremely quiet ( for someone so yakky ), trembling hands and distraught expression...I began to doubt myself and wonder if my surprise has backfired...Have I given her more stress and fear than surprise?
She got into the water with the DM soon after and we stood at the glass, watching her, taking videos. To my disappointment, pictures didn't turn out good because of the glass reflection. Crowds swamp around us and took pictures of the divers rather than fishes. Though a little lost, Yu managed to adapt herself to the ocean of creatures swimming around her...

I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw how much she enjoyed feeding the rays and wrasses. She even waved to us through the glass windows...
We proceed to cut the cake after her shower and went on the play the LUGE. It was all-new experience for all of us as well and we managed to hop on the chairlift to bring us up after each ride.
We gave the dolphin lagoon a miss and brought 2 loaves of bread to feed the kois. We left as the sun began to set....ZQ drop us off to have dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant.
To Yu, this day was an unforgettable....
