My Birthday "Bash"

12 May 2011, I have my birthday celebrated in the salon. We have this habit of "gate crashing"  birthdays with lots of water.
Everyone will get soaking wet from head to toe and that's including me. No one is supposed to get angry as that's the birthday celebration culture in this country. It's almost like having a mini Thai SongKran Festival in the salon.
It feels like a heavy rain just happen to pour in the salon. Every staff is chasing each other to get them wet, but the ultimate aim of my staff is to get the birthday boy; which is me; super wet.. hahahahha.. it was pretty fun. My staff prepared packets of water "bomb" and they hide the 'waterbombs' everywhere in the salon (especially in the trolleys). By the way, all the water sprays we used for wetting customers' hair proved very useful during such events in the salon. Color bowls, pails and anything that you can think of that can hold water are potential weapons. At around 6pm in the evening, we started to remove our money, wallets and mobile phones from our pocket; even our shoes and socks are removed too. The 'water war ' started right after we finished singing the birthday song. Well, those 2 beautiful cakes are completely wet too. The whole "water war" lasted for about 50 minutes, can you imagine how much water are used and the whole salon was flooded.
It was a great day and lots of fun, everyone started to mop and clean the salon after war; excluding me..because I'm the Birthday boy...hahahahha...nice! Thank you guys for the birthday cakes, fun and cleaning up of the salon.
