BIGGEST SURPRISE EVER!

Today has been REALLY REALLY EXCITING! It is the BESTEST way to celebrate the last day of being at age 20! With the help from the Campus View babes (Joyce, Ming Xian, Xue Ying and Yi Wen), my dear son managed to give me the BIGGEST SURPRISE EVER!

The day started all fuzzy, with me being told to bring this and that, then we took a train to Fortitude Valley and had brunch at Campos Cafe.. IT WAS AWESOME LAH! I had a 4 stack ricotta and buttermilk pancake with vanilla mascrapone, maple syrup and topped with orange compote.. I MANAGED TO FINISH 2 and a 1/2 THICK PANCAKES LAH! With more taxing of food from one another.. OMG, THE FOOD IS REALLY REALLY GOOD! We really ate to our fill!


The wonderful brunch team!

Then we walked aimlessly to my next surprise, which is that we rented a car! Then we drove down to Astor Metropole hotel where I THOUGHT we were going to stay there.. I SERIOUSLY DID LAH! Until we kinda were waiting aimlessly in the lobby that i kinda figured out maybe we were not staying there, but meeting someone instead.. Then i was told to go out and i saw these two ladies that looked REALLY familiar, but i just cannot remember... UNTIL I TURNED TO MY RIGHT, OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SERIOUS
LY COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES PLEASE!!!! IT WAS KHAIRUL! RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES! MY DEAR GOD SON WAS REALLY PHYSICALLY IN FRONT OF ME!!!!
This photo best expresses how touched i am...

Out of joy and shock, i cried.. Gave each other a good hug to start our exciting day.. HAHAZ! It was REALLY a SURPRISE LAH! I cannot imagine how much it must have cost him to take a plane here JUST TO CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY WITH ME!! THANK YOU SON!! No words can really truly express how happy, shocked, touched, excited and all the positive feelings you can ever find in the dictionary i am lah!

The plan was to go to DreamWorld, but due to time constraints, we changed our plans to Mt Cootha instead.. Went up there, enjoyed 2 scoops of ice-cream in the breeze while chatting, catching up with one another and stuff.. It was just so unbelievable! There were some points of time i felt like i was in Singapore, that is why Khairul is with me.. Then i would snap back and be like "OMG, he REALLY flew down to bring home to me!"

Thank you son...

What more can i ask for? I am so blessed to have such a thoughtful, loving and AWESOME son lah please.. I am so so so happy!! Brought him around the city and then headed back to his hotel.. Then went for dinner with his real mum and grandma.. We went to eat Korean fod where we ordered so much and ate to our fill.. I SWEAR I HAVE NOT EATEN SO MUCH FOR SO LO
NG LAH! My stomach is still bursting with food! Then after that i brought them around to South Bank and we headed back to the hotel where Xue Ying and babes came to pick me up to come home!

Before i left, i hugged Khairul's mum, grandma and him.. It was a short hug, but it was really so warm, it felt like home.. Promised them that i will visit when i am back in Singapore.. I am truly blessed to have known people like them, and i am truly truly touched..

Son, i really do not know how much i can thank you.. I really do not know what else i can say.. I really do not know how to express how elated i am to have you here today.. To have you in my life.. All i can say are three simple words: I LOVE YOU... I love the way you cheer me up when i am down, i love the way you entertain me with your stories, i love the way you look me in the eye when we talk, i love the way you make me feel when i am with you, i love the way you are so natural with me and vice versa, i simply love being with you and the wonderful person that you are.. Thank you so much son.. I am sorry to not be able to go DreamWorld with you, but no worries, i am sure we will have many more opportunities where we can travel together and have more fun! After all, when we are together, does it even matter where we are?! Hahaz!

Campus View babes, i will dedicate an entry for you babes tomorrow, after my exciting journey that starts at 730am in the morning.. But for now, i just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to you all, for helping Khairul in planning this surprise, making it the BESTEST, MOST AWESOME and simply just so WONDERFUL way to celebrate the last day before officially turning into an adult! I love you all...
