It started out with a msn convo asking when are my paper. Then he asked me out on wed for lunch as a celebration for my birthday. I was surprised. But was glad at the same time. Thought twice and decided to put it as a dinner before BSF instead. And so it was set. On the monday that just passed.

So we met at tanjong pagar, walked around to see a few places but really couldn't decide between western or japanese. Stood in front of secret recipe and pushing the decision maker role to each other. And just when I decided to assume that role, he voiced his opinion too. Haha. And so we ended up at Sakae :)

It was a good meal. A good time of catching up especially since I haven't had a decent and long conversation with him for a long time. Asked my questions, shared my concerns and was glad. He treated me to dinner that day too! That's present #2. Present #1 was when he said that super long birthday prayer for me while thanking God for the food. It was so super sweet of him! :) I was pretty touched as he prayed over my exams, my course, my life and my walk with God. I didn't expect that and it was very thoughtful of him. I glad he took that chance to thank say grace for us.

Present #3 came when he suddenly gave me plastic bag. In it was an envelope and a present. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly he prepared the present. Thought it might be rushed for him. Ha. And present #3 was the sweet poem he wrote for me. Not a love poem but a birthday wishes. Awesome! Actually, I kinda demanded it when he wrote a poem for our mutual friend. But cos of everything else, it slipped my mind. But I'm glad it didn't slipped his. And it was very nice and beautifully written. Rhymed well! And naturally, present #4 is that present he gave. The first present I received which I couldn't resist but to open it!

It was certainly a night that is sweet and nice! It's a night that is thoughtful and brings smiles to my face. I thank God for this brother-in-Christ. And I thank God for his friendship :) Out of these 4 presents he gave, the best is the 1st. His prayer of blessing and wishes over me is something that I've never experienced before. Thank God! :)
