Last night, was the first time i'd spent christmas with someone really really special to me. I dun deny that we'd only met each other since last week during Logan's party, and have been out tog for like 2-3 times? and chatted on the phone for a few times aldy? But, Nat is very different. He is not like the other guy friends whom i have. Everytime we meet, i'd feel very excited. Whenever he is with me, i feel very safe, and secure. I know, i can depend on him. Here's a little about him just before i write about what we did last night. Wenyao (that's his chinese name and he prefers me calling him that) is a very observant, sincere, wise, gentlemanly, soft-spoken yet firm, talented and patient guy. And most importantly, he loves God as much as i do. He plays both the guitar and piano. He is really good at both! i've heard him play on the guitar (and he owns 2 Taylor guitars) and i've heard him play a bit on the piano over the phone this morning. i love the way he speaks and i love his voice when he speaks. basically, i enjoy and i love to have wenyao ard me whenever possible. or at least before he flies off to either US or UK for further studies as he's an overseas scholar, after he ORD in 6 months time from now.. ya.. he'll be away for 4 years!!!! sob.. anyway, i love his honesty. right.. i'd love to write more.. but, i'll leave the rest for another entry.. dun wanna write it all out at one go.. sometimes, i like to keep pple in suspense for a while.. :) and i noe wenyao reads my blog. rite wenyao? :P
so.. here's an entry about wad we did yesterday..
last night, he drove over to my place at about 2000 hr plus plus.. when i got on the car, he asked me for directions to punggol park. at first, i really thought (and that was his plan as well--to make me think tt we're gonna eat at the restaurant in punggol park) we're gonna have dinner at the restaurant place located in punggol park. however, after we'd parked the car at the car park, he led me to walk towards the direction AWAY from the restaurant. and me being naive thought that there's gonna be another restaurant (well i seldom goes punggol park u see). however, he stopped halfway, and pointed to the bench behind me and said, "hmm.. this looks like a good spot and it's dry enough to sit". so i was like.. erm.. ok... haha.. then he walked away and said tt he'll be back in a bit. right.. so i waited. and at first when i looked over, i thought i saw him entering the back of the restaurant! but apparently, he didnt. then..my imaginations started.. i was thinking.. will there be a grp of pple who'd suddenly come in front of me and do smth? like play some instruments or whatsoever? (maybe i've watched too much HK shows lar.. lol).. anyway.. when wenyao came back with a paperbag in his hands, i kinda figured it out that we're gonna have smth which he bought/brought from home? true enough.. he brought some sliced turkey and ham (that's the appetizer), seafood pasta; with my favourite salmon in it!!! (main dish) and orange juice. *happy* i was pretty hungry aldy. so we had food and chatted while we eat.. i dunnoe how long we took.. prob an hour? u know.. both of us can get pretty talkative.. lol.. i shall not reveal what we chatted about.. (:P leave us some privacy k? :P) thereafter, i asked him so what's next? and he told me that he actually brought 2 guitars out and it's kept in the car boot.. i was like.. wohoo! then i told him! i wanted to bring out my guitar too! but.. cuz one of the strings snapped. and i havent fixed it yet. so i dropped the idea. anyway.. thereafter, at about 2100 hr plus.. we drove down to East coast park. found a spot at one of the pavilions and settled there. chatted a little before he took out his guitar and we played some songs (i attempted twice. but failed terribly. cuz i just cant seemed to remember the chords) and then i found out.. HE IS GOOD! i was like thinking to myself.. if only.. if only.. i am at least half as good as him.. I NEED TO BUCK UP. *nods head* *um* BUCK UP chuiting! hee.. nvm that.. it's just me trying to encourage myself.. :P
anyway.. we or rather, wenyao played songs like "from the inside out" "shine Jesus shine".. eh.. frankly speaking.. i cant really remember.. but i know we sang a few songs.. hee.. sorry ar.. goldfish memory.. :P then at about 2300 plus.. we wanted to drive down to clifford pier but on our way there, wenyao called peter and so we made our way down to peter's place (which is also near to my place) to collect some wine. (wenyao needed some for his christmas parties and peter knows that wenyao knows how to appreciate them. ) so we were at peter's place for quite some time.. chatted with peter till about 2am i think? then since we're aldy at hougang area, so i suggested to wenyao that we could park e car at my house's car park and sit in the car and chat. which we did.. all the way till 4am. thereafter, said a short prayer then we made our way home. sorry wenyao.. it kinda slipped my mind tt u stay pretty far away from me.. so ya.. think by the time he reached home, it was like 5am aldy.. phew! so yup yup.. to many, maybe this may seemed nth interesting as compared to christmas parties and so forth. but to nat and i, at least, we really enjoyed ourselves. the things we did may be very simple. but, it's the conversations we had, and the quality time spent tog that i really really treasure.
we're gonna meet up again this sunday. i'm gonna attend his church's first service which will start at 0730? :) thereafter, he'll bring me to see his church band, then prob go for breakfast tog before he drive me back to my church for my children's church ministry which i serve, and have been serving in for the past 3 years. :)
alright. since there're so much time left, i'm gonna go do my QT before heading down to church later at 1630 to help san with the taking down of the stage decor in MPH (multi-purpose Hall). bye pple! btw.. yee,yang and i are gg over to batam for a short getaway from the 30th till 1st. will upload the pics we're gonna take.. till then.. ciaoz! Merry christmas and a happy new yr! god bless! :)
