Birthday Surprise!

Yesterday, I did not have time to blog about it but this was what happen after my work.

I wanted to meet up with David to go home, as sometimes we do after work. We will meet up at Bras Basar Complex at the graphics book store. We usually browse the animation, drawing and graphic books. Then he told me that today, he wanted to go and buy a set of pencils.

So we explored the Bras Basar complex for the brand, Lycra. He said he wanted to buy it for himself. I made a remark that he should buy a present for me but i was joking when i said it. In fact he did not take heed of it when i say it.

He went to popular bookstore and we both found the lycra pencil set. He kept asking for my opinion in buying drawing products so i did. I persuaded him to buy the 12 set instead of the 6 set pencils he used before. I thought he wanted to be fully equipped for art coz i know his passion for animation. So in the end he bought two sets of 12 pencils. I asked him why he needed so many, he did not reply me. He immediately say he wanted to buy drawing block.

So we went to find the drawing block. Then he came to the cashier. After we left popular, he asked me to help him carry his bag for a moment while he took out one lycra set from his purchase.

He acted very casually and seemingly aloof, as if nothing happened. Then he passed me the popular plastic bag, containing a lycra pencil case and the drawing block.

"Nah, your birthday present."

I was shocked! Literally, my mouth hung open with surprise.

"I thought you wanted to buy for yourself. So that's why I gave you so many opinions that will help you." I answered.

But deep inside. I was touched. No friend has and will go that far to buy me a present. In fact, he's the first actually, in my teenage life, that a friend has given me a present.

Well so I had my first pencil kit! Yeah! One little step towards my dream! I hope to be able to draw arts so that I can post on my VERY own Deviant-art account. After all, deviant-art can also be a portfolio, only that it is online XD

Other than that, Cheryl treated me to Ajisen Ramen today! WHOOHOO! It was delicious. I love Japanese Food! I love Korean food too, but I still love Japanese Food. Those in Singapore only haha. For now. I haven't really went to the real place to eat their real menu of food.

One of my goals in life is to work in Japan! Not stay there, Singapore is my home after all, but to go there and steal some knowledge as well as to learn from them how to be detailed people. Once I have mastered it, I will come back to Singapore to open up the Dream Studio. I know its a VERY, VERY, Narrow path... But my vision for a studio in Singapore was just the beginning. There is still more details inside which I am not going to reveal. Coz i'm not sure.

Other than all this, one thing i must say. Today, is the FIRST DAY of F.O.P.! For some of you who did not know what FOP is. Its Festival of Praise. Its a time where churches around Singapore come together to pray for the nation and celebrate with songs of Praise and Worship to the one God that brought Singapore to where it is, today.

I decided that this FOP will come forth a fresh anointing. Which will make me grow to the next phase in life. Thats all folks for now. I hope you have a good time
