23rd of June...

Auspicious day of someone dearest. I have to prepare something special for her. Listed a few options I could do. Was planning to go for a fancy restaurant and dine. But I want to do something more. Finally, made up my mind that I'll cook for her. I'd never cook a proper dinner in my life before. This will be a very hard task for me. And so, I started the day off listing out the things I have to do and stuff to buy. The night before, I was really stressed out at work. Need to rush as much as I could before I leave for holiday. But that doesn't stop me. Finish work and lunch, look at the time, it's 4pm. The dinner is suppose to start at 7. But she doesn't know I'm preparing cause it's a surprise. Told her I had to be in the office rushing and will call her to confirm the time. So, I got my check list ready and off I go! Went over to Gurney, buy buy buy buy... by the time I'm done, It's already 6pm. I got only an hour to prepare everything! SHIT! Went to collect the flowers and without hesitation, I rally my way home. Made a phone call to dad "Pa, tonight don't come home too early ar? hehe *grin*". Reached home, clear the table and carry it to my living hall. Clear off all the ugly looking pillows on my couch. And set the table (nothing much to set actually). Started cooking at about 6:20. Faced some problems, pulled out my phone and dialled.. "Ei Ei, how much water is 250ml ar?!". Voice answered "Ka ki agak lar! Kanneh!". And so I did. Still cooking and the time was already 7:15.. SHIT! I have to call her already. "Hey, I just reach home. I'm packing my things now. Can you come over to my hse and fetch me?".(Cause we are going for holiday and I'm driving her car down, so she needs to fetch me) Continue cooking... Made another call, "Hey, I think I can't finish by the time you reach ler. Can you come up and wait for me a while?" "Yea, sure." Time 7:35, finally! Dinner is ready.. Freshen up myself abit coz I smell like a dog. Got everything ready and played some background music. And so she arrived, "Sorry ya, can you come in and wait for me coz I havent finish packing my stuff ler." "It's okie". Opens the door.. "SURPRISE!" She was shocked and astonished. I pulled out the chair, "Have a sit, and your dinner will be ready in a while". I can see her happy smiles. And that my friends, makes me feel like a king for the day! Heat up the gravy, poured it onto the chicken I fried earlier and the smell FUH LA LA! Better than those we eat in the fancy restaurants (hahahaha). Served the dinner, light on the candle. And we started dining. Right after the main course, "Wait, got one more". Took out the baskin robbins ice cream and scope it into a fancy desert glass. "There you go". "Wah, somemore got ice cream ar!". Right after desert, "Wait, there's one more!". Went to my room, took out the flowers. "Happy birthday, lou por chai!" Kissed her forehead. "Muakss!" "Hope you enjoyed the dinner." She nods her head with a HUGE smile! awwwwwwww~ and that sents me to heaven.... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!! Best moments in my life! Enuf of the long essay, off to the pictures (hehehe)....
