The birthday week for Steve has passed. Throw back to Oct, I thought hard and fast about what I might get for him, and it was really quite hard to get a nice surprise. I'd get him a laptop he wants, but it's out of stock for now. So on Nov 1, I really wondered what I should give him. I thought very hard and a moment of brilliance flashed by. I decided to grant him 3 wishes.
Laugh Die Me.
I told him I would do anything on 1 Nov for him. He has 3 wishes, and they will be valid only on 1 Nov 2020. These wishes cannot be granted after 1 Nov. Ha ha ha.
And, he thought very hard, and he couldn't think of any possible wish except for me to mop the floor (I gave an incredulous look) and to give him a full hour massage (I gave a woeful look - 1hr? I think I will die of tiredness). Ha ha ha. To which, I asked him - are you sure? It will be such a waste of wishes since both can be fulfilled by professionals. He pondered over them for a while longer, and went back to the drawing board.
The clock struck 12mn, and maybe 1 Nov 2021, I will grant him another 3 wishes. This moment of brilliance brought so much laughter. I thought I was pretty clever. Hahaha. I never thought it'll be so hard to ask for 3 wishes.
Of course we had a nice cosy dinner together at our favourite hotpot place. :)
And today, we had a simple dinner and celebration with the Rihan ATC alumni. We had a most sumptuous homecooked Mui Fan dinner (so yummy - thank you HN!), with potluck additions.
I have never really eaten Mui Fun before. Think this could be the 2nd time only. :-D The zhap was gao and nice - the vegetables and ingredients were very good too! Felt so blessed.
And Little Lucas was very chatty today, and was happy to hold my hands, showed me his squirrel, fire engine, played ball with me, drew bus and pictures, jumped up and down the sofa, and auntie here and auntie there. Haha, I felt wow - the boundless energy is unparalleled, and running 10km seems easier. And yet, I am just very happy to see him warm up to us.
And as the cake was brought out, the little boy thought it was his birthday celebration. So so so so cute. He was happy and expressive, breaking out into bouts of laughter, and sang and clapped happily. So sweet and so cute.
And the boys - a coming to 4-year anniversary for them here, and the friendship continues to grow. I know these 3 support each other at work, and cover each other's backs. I sometimes say they bromance. :-D
And - Lucas's eyes sparkle! So bright and curious!
The heart is full. π
