This Precious Life

On 7th June 2010, we celebrated the Fiancé’s birthday. By now, we’ve celebrated quite a few of His Birthdays and through each, I’ve learnt what makes each celebration a fabulous one for him.

As I thought up all sorts of ideas for the celebration, I placed food right at the top of the list as we’re hosting a gorgeous man who lives life to the fullest, and enjoys every bite of it.

And one bite that he especially enjoys? Food, without a question of it.

I’d seen him sparkling with joy at food courts where he gets to walk from hawker stall to hawker stall to check out their delicious offerings. I’d seen how he’d order multiple delectable dishes instead of just one that fills his stomach, and I’d tasted how he’d smilingly, generously share with everyone that came to dine with him.

I’m happy that his senses are so acute that he experiences joy in simple things such as sharing good eats.

Thus, I chose a restaurant that’s reknowned for its food. Feast your eyes! :)

Palate Cleansers

Appetizers

Soups

Mains

Cake

Desserts

Teas

In hindsight, I secretly think he’d enjoyed previous celebrations more when we’d invited lots of friends and laughters in. He like being active, doing at the same time as being, by cracking tough riddles, or teasing his friends through physical games, and celebrating the victories thereafter.

This year’s was such a subdued celebration, I’d taken him aside to a place where it was just him and me. Having said that, though a party with great friends and great food (in that order) would have been the ideal party for this uniquely extraverted individual, I enjoyed the moment alone with him. :) His companionship is precious to me and I crave for deep and uninterrupted conversations with him (which is why waiters should never be annoying).

Farling, thanks for celebrating your birthday privately with me, as though it is my birthday, not yours. You’re a ray of sunshine that God had captured, momentarily, for me. In the year 2010-2011, I pray for you to catch a view of the bigger map, and beam your light to the nations in it, with me alongside, naturally :)

May you fulfill your vision and purpose for the year, that 2010-2011 will be reported as a very good year when we celebrate again next June. <3
