a surprise and an unpcoming garage sale!
27.7.11 || 1:54:00 PM
hi, everyone! :D we meet again.
today i'm gonna tell you just a liiiittle bit about a surprise i gave
Y for his birthday yesterday (26.07.11).
as you might have noticed, the last three days i've been posting different pics for this occasion. and also, i've been busy preparing everything for that special day.
i got him four presents, with different meanings.
three of them act as roots and tops:
1. a frame with pictures of his family, with an inscription that said 'Family'.
2. a mug with a shape of a fat grandmother; this is a symbol of me (a nickname between me and him: i am
nenek / grandmother, and he is
kakek / grandfather).
3. a custom-made binder i made for him to use in college. the front cover consisted of motivational quotes, the back cover had a 'that's all' picture, and on the inside, there are a few pages consisting of various pics of me and him, his friends from junior high and high school, and also of course his family. this is a symbol of education, hard work, success, with the people who will support him in achieving them.
these roots/tops symbolize three things that had supported him. and hopefully, he would not forget his roots. (: while on the same time, they also symbolize 'the top': the success to achieve and to whom his achievements would mean so much.
and the last of the four acts as a fertilizer. the fourth gift are sheets for his bed in the dorm (for college). hopefully this will make the growing process there easier. (:
i also made him a home-made pudding cake. this is a new recipe i made especially for him, because he likes sour and sweet foods. i called it: Strawberry Yogurt Creme Pudding. (x hhas
so on D-Day, about 08.30 AM i got on a cab, aboard (:p) to his house in Gading Serpong.
i didn't tell him i was coming. we just had normal conversation via SMS.
when i got to his house, i asked (politely, of course) to the cab driver if he had a cellphone. i explained to the nice man that i was giving a surprise to someone, and i needed to text him from a different number (pretending to be a man from Maryland Gifts and Cakes that wanted to drop off some packages for him).
but unfortunately, the cab driver forgot to bring his cellphone with him that day, so i had to find a cellular center that sold new numbers.
with the new number installed, i started to text him, and even asked the cab driver to talk on the phone with him. apparently, Y didn't seem to sniff that something was wrong. :p
so Y asked me (though he did not know it was me) to come to his music school instead, and we did so. (the cab driver was proven to be a really kind co-conspirator :p)
we waited for Y to arrive at the music school for about half an hour and then his text msg arrived. he had touched down.
and so i paid the cab driver, gave him a tip, said thousands of thanks, and brought the cake and the gifts to the venue.
the rest of the story is rather clear. Y seemed really surprise and didn't know what to say hhas pinky (the administrator of the music shool) and his mom cheered for him. and we had the rest of the day together happily. after spending the whole day together, Y brought me home (my home, to be precise) and spent a few hours with me and my family. :'D
okay i am experiencing some kinda loss of words hhas i think some things are just too good that they can only be lived on, not written about. :p or maybe it's just me who's not that good a writer hhas
yeaaah in short we had a really great day together.
and i feel really touched and happy that it made him happy as well, that it meant just as much to him (x
this was posted as his FB status:
