这就是祖的反应!! This is Jaydon’s reaction!!

话说从头,最近因太忙碌,加上英语说的” out of sight,out of mind ” ( 简翻:没在这里,就忘记你 ),所以差一点把祖的生日给忘了。。。一直到生日前两天才惊觉什么都没给他计划或准备!

一下子也想不出该送他什么,就想既然最近很多廉价机票,可能我该飞去新加坡一天再回来,给他一个惊喜。。。

同工晓薇非常鼓励我去(可能牧师没在比较没压力),就决定买祖生日当天16日的机票飞过去。。。

我就事先联络新加坡另一个也跟我一样疯的牧师帮我调查祖那天的行踪和活动,千交待、万交待不许让任何人知道我要过来,因多一个人知道,就多一个秘密泄露的机会。。。我不想白费心机和飞机票的钱。。。

古晋方面就只有我的同工晓薇知道,她绝对不会泄露秘密因为她珍惜生命;另一个人是例外人田圣,是他送我去机场,他也绝对不会泄露秘密,因为他是一个很懒惰开口的人。。。

抵达新加坡已是晚上8点15分,我的疯狂好友李牧师,已在机场等我,一副007很专业的样子告诉我已查到祖的行踪。。。他跟一些朋友在某咖啡厅庆祝,我们就开车前往。。。

从咖啡厅外面我已清楚看到祖跟朋友们有说有笑。。。很好,一切都照着剧本跑。。。

祖就坐在柜台前的位子,面向柜台。。。我装作平凡顾客很自然的走向柜台跟招待员说话。。。祖觉得这人背影怎么那么像他的牧师,就一直注视着我看;他终于受不了就走到柜台我旁边要看个清楚,他突然间大喊:牧师!你怎么会在这里?!

跟我讲话的招待员都吓得跳起来,哈哈!我却无动于衷,以一口美国腔英语很冷静的对他说:Excuse me, do I know you? I think you must have mistaken me for someone… (译: 对不起,我认识你吗?我看你认错人了。。。)

可是当然祖很确定就是我,就不放过我说:牧师,不要闹了!你怎么会在这里?!

此时我突然间唱:祝你生日快乐~。。。

因为那一整天我都没联络他,故意不给他简讯祝贺等,所以他突然紧紧的抱着我说:我以为你已经忘记我的生日了。。。说罢就哭了起来!我的肩膀都被他眼泪滴湿了。。。

是不是很感动?

啊!算了吧!那是原本的剧本!事实是有些人就是不会跟着剧本跑!!!所以那根本都不是祖的反应!!!

那祖真正的反应又是什么?。。。对不起,太迟了,我真的要睡了,还要翻译成英语啊。。。所以请你们耐心再等下半部吧。。。

Let’s start from the beginning… because I have been very busy recently, plus “out of sight, out of mind”, so I almost forgot about Jaydon’s birthday… until two days before then I realised I hadn’t prepared or planned anything for him!

All of a sudden I couldn’t think of what to give him as a present, so I thought since there are so many budget air tickets nowadays, perhaps I should just fly over to Singapore for a day to surprise him…

My staff, Xiao Wei greatly encouraged me to do so ( may be less pressure if pastor isn’t around ), so I decided to buy the ticket for the 16th, Jaydon’s actual birthday to fly over…

I contacted a Singaporean pastor who is as crazy as me to help me track down Jaydon’s whereabout and activities that day, reminding him millions of times not to let anyone know I was coming, because an additional person knowing means additional risk of secret being leaked… I don’t wish to waste my effort and air tickets money…

In Kuching, only my staff, Xiao Wei knew, she would never leak it to anyone as she treasures her life; another person who knew was Remnant Daniel, he sent me to the airport, he would definitely keep the secret too ‘cos he is a person just too lazy to open his mouth…

I arrived at Singapore at about 8:15pm, my crazy good friend, Pastor Lee was already at the airport waiting for me, looking like a very pro James Bond, he told me he had tracked down Jaydon’s whereabout… he was celebrating with a few friends in a coffee bar, so we drove towards there…

From outside the coffee bar I could see Jaydon clearly, talking and laughing with his friends… very good, everything went according to our script…

Jaydon was sitting right in front of the counter, facing the counter… I acted like a normal customer walking very naturally to the counter to talk to the waiter… Jaydon noticed this person’s back somehow seemed so similar to his pastor’s, so he kept staring at me; finally he couldn’t resist it so he came towards me to have a good look, and he suddenly exclaimed very loudly: Pastor! Why are you here?!

The waiter talking to me jumped with fright, haha! But I was indifferent, and said to him calmly with American accent: Excuse me, do I know you? I think you must have mistaken me for someone else…

But of course Jaydon was very certain it was me, so he didn’t retreat and said: Come on, pastor, stop pretending! Why are you here?!

At that moment, I suddenly sang: Happy birthday to you~…

Because that whole day I did not contact him at all, and I purposely did not send him any greeting etc, so he suddenly held me very tightly and said: I thought you have forgotten it’s my birthday today… at that he broke down and cried and wet my shoulders…

Isn’t that very touching?

Arrgh! Forget it! That was supposed to be the original script! The truth is, some people just won’t follow the script!!! So that was not Jaydon’s reaction at all!!!

Then what was Jaydon’s actual reaction?… Sorry, it’s really late now and I must go to bed… so please wait patiently for Part 2…
