Hmm, the title sounds weird, like I celebrated 1st birthday for my baby. However, that’s not the case; it is my first birthday with my bf. :p
It was back in 2006, when I’m still in my 2nd year of university life. My baby just graduated that time and he is working in Penang island, and our university is in Nibong Tebal, mainland. So when my birthday is around the corner, I thought I will never get to celebrate my birthday with him, since requesting him to come all the way from Penang island after work is a bit too much.
That’s what I thought, but still, I asked him will he come over and celebrate with me. I remembered he told me he won’t be able to make it, because he has a lot of work at hand, and will replace back for me in the coming weekend. Feeling frustrated and sad, thinking of celebrating my birthday alone, with the company of dramas and café food (which we had almost twice everyday and the food sucks), some more it’s my first birthday with him, that was really down for me.
I remembered I took a nap after class on that day, and my roommate and friends asked me for dinner in the café. My roommate called me through my handphone, saying that they all are waiting for me in the café. So I quickly have a change and rush down to the café, wondering what they had planned for me. To my surprise, when I reach the café entrance, I saw my baby’s car parking there. It was him who ‘pakat’ with my roommate and ask her to call me down, so that I did not notice that he is already here. My roommate knew much earlier that he will be here to celebrate for me and pretend that she knows nothing. I was so surprise that time as I thought he has work to do and won’t celebrate birthday for me. My tears dropped down as I saw him. He smiled at me and took me out for a dinner. I was really so touched and he just made my heart melts.
We had dinner at some restaurant and he suggested that we go to the riverside to walk walk (riverside is the only place near our campus for lovers to have a walk and quiet talk). So we went to the riverside, and found a place to sit down. He then told me that he left something in the car, so he went to take it. And here comes the 2nd surprise! He brought a cake in his hands with the candles lit on, and I can hear birthday songs coming from him. :) Again, I was so touched and my tears dropped down. From celebrating with dramas and café food, now it turns out to be such a memorable event. At that moment, I felt so lucky to have such a bf.
We ate few slices of the cake and I took back the remaining for my roommates. The story doesn’t end here!! When we are to go back, he turned to the back seat of the car and took out a transparent box. It is full of stars~~~ It has 719 stars which represent my birth date and all the stars are hand made by him! Wow…. That was the 3rd surprise I had that day, the surprises keep coming and coming, really amazing and unpredictable~~~ I can’t believe that he made all the stars himself, folding 719 stars is not an easy job, but he told me that he made all by himself, he even rejected his cousin sister’s offer to help him fold.
When I stir my finger into the box full of stars, simply playing with it, suddenly I felt something like a small box inside. To my surprise, there’s a small box containing a crystal cube in it. And in the cube is a carving of a love shape. What a surprise~~~ This is the 4th surprise I think. It’s driving me out of my mind, the surprises came one after another, It’s just so exciting and tempting!! My baby knows that I like surprises, as all gals do. Thus he gave me 4 surprises in just one birthday. It is so memorable that I definitely will not forget about it after all these years. Love is in the air~~~
I love you, baby~~~
