I remember once, I forgot to take the coal webought to the barbecue. It was the day before my boyfriend’s birthday, and I thought it wouldbe nice to throw him a surprise party, but going to a restaurant is just not original enough, soI invited all his friends to have a barbecue on the beach instead. We all thought it was a perfectplace to have a party because besides eating, we could do a whole bunch of activities, likeplaying beach volleyball, burying somebody in the sand with only their heads above ground andsomething like that. And then when it got dark, we could lie down on the beach and watch thestars.
    So, anyway, the intentions were good, but it was not well planned. A friend of mineaccidently gave away the plan, so when we got there, my boyfriend wasn’t surprised at all. Theonly “surprise” that day was the fact that I forgot to bring the coal to the party.
    I was so embarrassed, because it was the first time that I had ever thrown a birthdayparty to my boyfriend, and I blew it.
    I had imagined in my head that it would be a perfect birthday dinner. We bought beef,lamb, chicken wings, mushrooms and all kinds of stuff to barbecue, but who could havethought…
    Fortunately, we had the birthday cake, so at least we could have something to eat.
    My boyfriend kept saying “It’s OK, don’t worry.”, but I felt so stupid, and I really learnt mylesson. Next time before doing anything important, I have to make a detailed plan and doublecheck every step that could possibly go wrong.
