weekend part 2

3.3.08

Oh well.. right after the boss diminished us from the task of the day, I was then super-speed myself to the parking lot, yep.. immediately get myself out and headed to Plaza Senayan.

Yesterday was my father's birthday and I haven't bought him anything yet. It's an important event for me, because as far as I can remember, I never got a chance to celebrate his birthday. That's why I deadly wanted his 2008's birthday to be special and memorable for he and me. However, I did not think that getting him a present was a very complicated task. I spent the whole two-weeks to figure it out !! Some thing which suits his taste and meets with my salary.

And I bought him 2 pairs of Pierre Cardin pajamas. Hehehe... It's kind of weird knowing that he has tons of expensive suits while he only has few pajamas in his closet. So, after I got my gift wrapped, I headed to Hotel Mulia to have dinner with Dad and Bunda. Again, I had another buffet for the day ! Oh God, I adore the food, it's tasty as always..

Anyway, during the dinner, Bunda showed me her gift. My Lord... she gave this huge yellow sapphire ring for him ! I was instantly discouraged with my own gift, I started to think how cheap is my gift compared to hers. I was SO sad !! I know my dad won't think that way, but still... I tried to hide my disappoinment (with myself) by focusing on food. I wasn't as talkative as I've always been. I kept eating and eating. Hell... there were A LOT of food !!!

"At least you bought it with your own money, Nisa. The money you earned from your hardwork. You should proud about that"
Having such thought across my mind did cheer me up. Once we reached home, I took the present in my car and walked into my dad's room without any hesitation. He just finished his Isya prayer. I handed in his present and I close my eyes.. afraid seeing his reaction.

Then all of sudden, he hugged me tightly and thanked me for being such a thoughtful daughter. I opened my eyes, only to see tears of happiness in his eyes. He read the card I gave him and spoiled the tearful moment by asking me to translate the card. HAHAHAHAHA... he's really cracking me up.

That only lasted for while though, because he was touched with the content. And there it came again another lovey-dovey scenes between us. He then opened his present, and started to get very excited with his new pajamas. It was cute to see him directly trying it on. He praised me for having a very good taste in choosing the right color, the good fabrique, and even the right size. *kudos to Nisa*

He started to do his own fashion show in front of Bunda and everyone in the house. After everyone got sick of the show, he went back to his room. He took the birthday card and put it inside his bag. He said "I wanted to carry it around with me" Oh Dad... thank you for your great appreciation.

I was then excuse myself to my room, I was too tired and overwhelmed with emotions. I feel content, even until this very minute.

God... really, I'm so thankful to have a dad like him !!!
