Roommates & Surpurise

I had three roommates, two girls from China and a girl from Hong Kong. The time we spent together was so short but we got along well and are good friends. They told me some Cantonese and Mandarin but I found it difficult to remember and pronounce them.

At the beginning of August, we planned to make a cake for our host mum's birthday and kept it as a secret until her birthday. We told our host parents that we were going to use the kitchen to cook for our friend. When we started to make it, our host mum showed up and started to help us because we were struggling to make it and were too noisy. Thanks to our host mum, we made the cake.
 After the dinner time, we ran to the kitchen and put some strawberries and candles. Our host mum was surprised at the cake and looked happy with it.
