That point of time, he was so happy! Issac told both Daddy and Mummy that, he does not need any birthday present for his birthday already. Going to temple will be his birthday present.
Both of us were so touched for his reply, he is such a obedient and good boy! How blessed we are to have him as our son!
He had to bring back the cake yesterday evening during fetching the children back from Mahkota Tuition Centre.
The cake was supposed to bring to the air port so that we can blow the candles for him at the KLIA2.
We were there early to check in our luggage. After knowing the weight of our luggage, the Air Asia ground crew suggested us to buy more luggage for our way back as it seems like it will definitely be more than what we had purchased.
We decided to blow the candles and eat the birthday cake at the DOME restaurant. We ordered some drinks and sang the “Happy Birthday” song to our dearest son. It was a yellow bumble bee cake.
After that, we just go straight to the boarding room. On the way to the boarding room, we passed through the duty free shops along our way. We were window shopping around. Then only we went in to the boarding room.
We were planning on this trip few months ago, booked the air flight first, including the luggage needed, on board meals for each one of us and the seats as well. After 2 months we only book the hotel. We were on board at time.
Suddenly there was an announcement was made, and mentioned that there was a very special guest on board that today is his birthday and today is his first flight ever to overseas, then invited Issac to go out.
Issac was so shy and smiling whereby he did not want to go out, until the air steward came to him.
All the flight passengers were singing the birthday song to him and the Air Asia flight attendants gave him the Kit Kat birthday treats!
There was an uncle very kind of him, bought a cap from the Air Asia merchandise and gave to him as a birthday gift! Both Daddy and Issac went up to thank him. All the Air Asia crews on board including the pilot also draw a special card to him.
Today really was his special birthday!
After, then only Daddy told me that, that was requested by Elder Hadley. We are so appreciate with his gentle and kind thoughts on our family.
He had arranged 2 cabs for us, Elder and Sister Hadley together with Brother Sega in one cab, our family in another cab. We straight away go to the temple ground and get familiarize with the area first.
The temple was located in the middle of the low income village area. We passed through so many small lane and houses, even though Cebu City is the 2nd largest city in Philippines but their infrastructures still a bit behind us.
After a while, then suddenly we saw the temple statue of the Moroni on the top of a building from far, then we knew that we are arriving at the temple ground. The Cebu temple is so much beautiful and looks elegant. The design was so simple and clean as we can see from the external from far. We were so happy.
After which, Elder Hadley assisted us and took us around on what we needed to do and know today, then Brother Aden sent us to our hotel. Both of Elder and Sister Hadley went to the Temple for their sessions.
We arrived our Bayfront Hotel Cebu around 5.00pm. I had informed the hotel earlier when back in Malaysia that we will arriving this time, as Daddy afraid that the hotel might release our room if we do not check in at 3.00pm. We thanked Brother Aden for his assistance.
We passed by a lot of the restaurant, due to may be it was the dinner timing, thus all of the restaurants were packed with people. We just went in to one of the less crowded restaurant, and ordered our meals.
Only 5.30pm, we noticed that the sky outside the windows was getting dark, just like 8.00pm in Malaysia. Well, this is Issac’s birthday dinner meal in Philippines.
Happy Birthday, Son!
