♥ Surprise surprise
I received quite a pleasant surprise from Wt who flew back early to celebrate my birthday. He ordered a bouquet of flower and purposely wanted it to be delivered in the morning. So i was in a daze while auntie lynn told me there's flower delivery for me. Dressed in my famine camp t-shirt and fbt, face not washed, teeth not brushed, hair in a mess, couldn't open my eyes and i went to the door. Wt's friend must have been amused by my "just woke up" look.
Who's this fellow Wang Kit? LOL.
Presents prepared by him. Fruit wine, rocklea, a card and a storybook on Little Miss Late( obviously it's referring to me).
Dear Minting,

He told me he will be back on the 25th. He left out some details though. So he actually flew back on friday to give me such a surprise. Indeed surprised i am. If any of u received the msg " super duper boyfriend who flew back early specially to celebrate my birthday", that's his idea. A sweet note...
Dear Minting,
I've been away for 30 days, of which i've spent more time outfield than in camp. Every night out in the field, i look at the night sky unlike the one we see at home. Irregardless of how tired i may be, the sight of the blanket of stars never fail to remind me of you. Oh, how i wish you could be there to see it with me.
Everyday out in the field, i look at the mountain ranges in the distance. They look beautiful in the Austrailian sun, even more so during the occasional rainbow. If only i could climb up to catch a glimpse of the view at the top. Oh, how i wish you could be there to see it with me.
At the camp, there was no proper bed, only a small makeshift camping bed. In the toilet, there was no proper shower, only a water bag to dispense water. There was intermittent hot water, sometimes we'd shower in cold water on a cold night. Oh, how i wish you could be there to experience it and suffer like me.
While i was at the beach with my colleagues, i couldn't help but think of you again. Bright blue skies, crystal clear waters, fresh smelling breeze, fresh seafood, all the thing that you'd appreciate. Not forgetting exploring the beach barefoot, the way our inner child would have. Oh, how i wish you could be there to appreciate it with me.
On the flight back, the first in my life in business class. i watched movies in bed, caught some sleep, thought of you. It was the most comfortable flight in my life, even more comfortable than camp. Oh, how i wish you could be there to enjoy it with me.
Dragged myself home and started writing this for you at 4 in the morning. Hoping that you could see that throughout this busy busy trip, you were always on my mind. Now that i'm back, i'd like to wish you a very happy birthday. I hope i've made this birthday a happy one.
