mmmm
mmmm
jere really suprised me for the day.
i must definitely journal down this whole day.
in the morning on sunday, i woke up at 6.30am again!
its amazing how i would wake up on both wkends 6.30am, earlier than wkday.
i didnt dare to snooze....as i had a few things to do.
first of all, i am serving for the first time!!!!
i am a ... wht's the designation i know not, but i am in charge of the songs slides!!
HAHA i dint wanna be late. first time serving leh.
seriously.
and of cos, i wanna prepare my fabulous sandwich. had been looking forward to this day to make my delicious s/w.
i prepared my bag ..lots of things to bring, the intimate gift, collage and extra clothess for the night.
made 4 s/w. YUMMY.
one ofr my bro, for my sis, for myself and for him.
the bread stuck to the toaster pan...and caused a hole..
anyhow, the s/w still tastes good!
jere gave 9/10.
WAAAAAAA
i hurried to church.
was the first to reach, aside from CA and ps peter.
Ps peter later on said he was very touched to see me coming so early.
i didnt dare/want to be late for serving, man.
helped CA to set up the place...typed the lyrics.
showed her the collage that i made!
very nice.
approaching 10am, people starts strolling in..
i starts to get nervous =/
HAHA
yup however first time mah! make mistakes doesnt matter.
remember wht Jere said, must be confident
it was fun serving. it's good to just come earlier than on time to relax and prepare myself.
i havnt been on time before.
it was enjoyable.
=) i am beginning to like serving God.
then after that.....
after service, bee took over the mike
she said..today we want to commemorate..
then she stopped. i secretly tot is it us???
then i pretended to pack my bag...
HAHA then phebe said we want to commemorate one year anniversary for jere and bing.
HAHA i so pai seh!!!
then i pulled jere out to the front.
then fiona came in with a bouquet of re+pink gerberas and 2 heartshaped chocolate cakes!!!
MAn, am i suprised!
no wonder fiona kept going out ..
jere smiled..haha i think he felt very shy!
then we stood there with the flowers n cakes.
bee said, let's invite fiona to pray..
then changed to PS Peter.
He said..let's stretch out our hands to pray for them...
liew!
like engagement or getting married!
i just kept smiling..
so shy la~!!!!
i stood with the flowers, jere stood with the cakes.
i wanted to hold his hands but since he didnt hold mine, i didnt hold his either.
maybe he needed 2 hands to hold the cakes.
Ps peter prayed..they giggled.
HAHA
i looked up and saw uncle Eddie stretching his hands to me.
HEH
Ps peter prayed..
courtship is not easy...
understanding..
both us will grow spiritually
ultimately to walk through....(the aisle?) and say I DO
he quoted his and ps pauline's verse that they hold for past 30 years
"seek ye His Kingdom and all these shall be given to you"
and also hope this will be one of their favourite verse
bless their relationship..
be an example to the younger ones
though we've only known them for a few months but the rest have known them for years..
i giggled and smiled.
then i opened my eyes and peep the the rest and closed my eyes again.
HEH
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
so weird also la!
really thank fio and bee for their fantastic idea!
wonderful commemoration =)
we ended in Amen.
i quickly took my camera and asked fio take photos for us!
fio commented "she is beaming"
gave each them a hug.
jere then pretended to be normal while i continued to look at the cakes and flowers.
like the flowers.
aiyah i forgot to water them this morning.
shortly after, we left.
i took the ang pau from bee's hse..
empty ang pau paper as jere needed it to give ang pau...and to realise the ang pau actually has been used before!
we had to drive home and get form his mama.
he got minnie mouse ang pau.
good enough to give to his colleague's baby girl!
the baby girl's sleeping so soundly.
so tiny.
its the second time we visited his colleagues' baby girl.
i prayed silently for her..
pretty baby.
she got some hair on her ears.
jere and me looked at her for a long time. HAHA
during the church service, i had to answer calls several times because this C/O...who didnt wanna fly because the client did not keep to their word in giving him his rightful salary..
i was 'tortured' all the way till 6pm in the evening.
fianlly had time to make Leche Flan in the evening.
6-7pm, before headed out to the secret place.
to make Leche Flan, ingredients are
1) 1 can of evaporated milk
2) 1 can of condensed milk
3) 10 egg yolks
sounds very sugarly right.
the one that peca made is very sweet as she added sugar and vanilla essence.
this time round, i skipped the sugar..and vanilla becasue jere doesnt have vanilla at home.
First, mixed both the miilk together and stir gently. i only used half of each to test test first.
then add in egg yolk and stir.
HEH jere also helped me...
he so cute, during halfway he want to go back to his room becasue its very hot but i made him stay in the kitchen.
we made aluminium container...after the mixture is stirred well...pour into the container...
the water in the wok should already have been boiled.. steam the mixture for 10 mins.
jere and me ddecided to fry the remaining egg whites so as not to waste!
he cutted some onions...
used some olive oil (healthy)
he put the oil and start frying the egg.
he added alot of pepper and light sauce.
then i sensed something amiss.
ONIONS
he totally forgot about the onions then quickly add it in!
while frying halfway, he said, why do i feel like hawker centre uncle?
i cldnt stop lafing.
he wore this brown bmt shirt..look a lil cui.
he stopped to look and wait for onion to cook.
totaly look like the uncle who fries hokkien noodle.
AHHHAH
the egg is ready..
its yummy, suprisingly =)
the onions though subcooked is sweet
i am suprised he kws how to fry eggs and even wash the pan.
i cooked my caramel as toppings for Leche.
=( it turned black and sticky.
jere offered to wash the pan..
it's hard to wash it away cos it hardens in the bowl and spoon and pan.
=/
the Leche Flan..i tasted it though i left it at jere's house.
its perfect to my taste!
not too sweet and soft!
jere cleared up while i went back to the compt to settle my work.
yeahhhhfinally i could go for the secret dinner without worries.
yeah!!
here it comes.
jere said should go out at 7pm.
we ended up leaving at 7.30pm.
that place needed some time to travel there...and gotta travel by car.
wanted him to wear my favourite purple stripey....
but....he said overdresss or too hot!
=(
he wore the favourite tee i got for him.
so many months still look as new =D
hehe then i wore my necklace and earrings and took my flowers together with me.
HEHE
off we go!
i so excitted...dont kw where we going.
i kept guessing but told him not to say if i guess it correctly.
i reckon by the beach.
on the way,
i realised that we are on ECP...the straight road he once told me that acts as backup runway.
he said..correct.
so we 're gg to changi airport!
he said HUH? u sure this way goes to changi?
the way he said it... of cos its not gg to changi.
so we're gg to city!
orchard road???
he said u wait and see.
HEH
we chatted and i prayed in the car.
HEH
we had some very personal conversations i shall not blog it here.
along the way, i saw "Marina cove"
Marina?????
he turned into this ulu road..
looks like seletar ..the by the sea we always go..i dont remember there's any restuarant there?
hmmm i wondered why so ulu secretly.
after a while we turned into the carpark.
he pointed out, there is the place we are going.
my first reaction was..look expensive..
i took some photos here n there..
i asked him isit a boat/ship?
the ship that floats on water?
i couldnt see the name as it was too bright and blurry.
we walked nearer...
then i saw RIVERBOAT.
ok, i ve never heard or seen this before.
i saw a few 'immigrants..and some police..
we asked around and found our way in...
wow..
the SEA breeze is fantastic.
as we near the Riverboat..i was filled with anticipation!
i saw other boats on the sea.
we stepped in..strangely i didnt feel the boat move.
at first i saw...there's many people eating...so noisy ..abit =(
he brought me up...and we went to the bridge deck!
i found myself stageering..cos the boat was rocking!HAHAHA!
we settled for a quiet corner~~~

suddenly 2 young men came to the table behind us.
i whispered to jere why of all empty places they wanna sit behind us?
jere shhhh-ed me.
i oh, tot i could be loud enough for them to hear.
later on jere explained one of them is the boss.
HUH? so young?

shortly after, Daryl called Jeremiah..
he came over and sat down with us.

we chatted briefly and jere asked him for coffee one day.
daryl said good idea!

i asked him if he is happy.
he smiled.. i've probably never seen him smile that way.
KEKEKE then the polite waiter came and gave us the bill.
jere guessed $70?

he took photos for us..i attempted to sing a bday song but the wind blown off the fire while jere tried very hard to block the wind.

we took more photos....
i asked if he knew abt the brownies.
he bluffed! actually he already knew about it!
he wanted to send a gift over first so that the waiter could suprise me on the table.
but daryl said no need, he will arrange.
=)
then another waitress told us we gotta leave...as they clsoe at 10pm.

i took home the candle.
i commented the waiter more polite hor.

me at the top of the staircase. jere took from below.
while walking out i gave jere a hug and thanked him
i told him, "You fear God enough not to do anything unfaithful to your wife and to God".
we went back to the car....
he blasted the aircon..seeing i quickly cover myself with shawl..he was so sweet to off it
although he was on the phone with another customer.
i quickly fell asleep.
i slept all the way back home.
when i got home, i tot...so fast...then cannot spend more time w him.
i gave him the initimate gift.
he seemed delighted and looked at it for a while.
i hope he uses it.
Thank God for the day.
