Another New Year Resolutions

It's gonna be a new year in a few hours time. Time to reflect, appreciate and welcome the new year with adjustments!

Year 2010 was like going on a roller-coaster ride for me. Since 1994 I have never cried that hardly until this year when my relationship failed. Because of this, I had thoughts and feelings that I have never expected myself to experience. However, I grew stronger in it. With the help of friends like Vinny & Mezzo Melz who always shower me with inspiring and motivating phrases, I started to see light to the issue that I once thought would put an end to how I continue my life.

Of course, thanks to my determination too, I slowly re-opened myself and started doing and planning things that I have always wanted to every day, as though I wont be living the next day. It was tiring but I was really happy. I was thankful to Toby He, who never failed to join in my plans. It could be because of our common interests that made both of us closer. =))

Then I changed my job. Another step closer to my career interest. I got into an educational industry and was thrilled when I know that there's now a 'specialised diploma' in Food Science and Nutrition, a course I wanted so much to pursue in my Polytechnic days.

......... Now to the 2011 New Year Resolutions Adjustments.

♪ To have a work-life balance, organise them in such a way that I will feel every day was being utilised meaningfully.
♪ To explore around the world, be it places in or outside Singapore.
♪ To continue my exercise schedule for a healthier body.
♪ To take note and improve on my diet for a healthier body too.
♪ To enrich myself by taking up courses to my interest.
♪ To be good and caring for Baby Justin. ^^

Eve to 2011!

The eve to year 2011, I...

♪ received a red scarf
♪ helped 2 old China couple
♪ strolled home from Dover

and Sinister Tan was in the picture for all the above. =)

He got me a red scarf from Nepal specially for my trip. He wanted to surprise me by coming to my place right after he arrive Singapore's airport on Christmas eve (it was just about an hour before Christmas), but I re-scheduled the date. He was down with stomach virus the day before we agreed to meet and this LS-ing, vomiting and fever persisted for a few days. Seeing him in pain, I suggested going to his place nearby instead. This was when I was touched by his kind intentions.

"Dont need.. Jurong is your sad area =))"

When I read this message, I was so touched can? T_T

Thank you Sinister Aaluoos Tan!! =D

And that's my simple last day of 2010.

^_^

This shot by Fishball made my day after a quarrel with BD.

Junior? Jasper?

I dreamt of Junior the night before I went for Baby Ezann's shower. Junior was running around with a piece of chicken in the playground below my place. *misses*

With the help of Adrian and his GPS, we managed to get to Fiona's residence. Many familiar faces from ACL brings back memories to me. Daniel, one of the ex-colleagues that I only befriend days before I left the company greeted me warmly like a long lost friend. =) Baby Ezann is such an angel~ She was sleeping so soundly and she looks so adorable!

Then I spotted one very cheeky face looking at me when I went into the living room. Mimi the timid baby girl dog/girlfriend of the Papa dog (there is some incest going on~) was looking at me with her innocent eyes! And while playing with her, I spotted another very quiet face below the majong table. Jasper!

One look at him and Junior's images flashed through me. I immediately asked whether he is a Maltese-Shihtzu (I know not all dogs who look like Junior is this mixed breed, but I just wanted to affirm my guess) and Fiona's brother affirmed this! Jasper is especially calm. To my surprise, he came wagging his tail at me when I called out to him. He even laid on my thighs and sat butt to butt with me every time I enter the living room.

 He was so quiet below the Majong table...

 Struggling and opening his mouth for the first time in his Grandpa's arm when I waved & said "bye bye" to him, as though wanting to tell me "don't leave~" =(

I felt a sense of acceptance from him. =)

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve is half day! or rather, party day for Finance!

We had our annual Christmas Party and seeing all the kids coming in in the morning, all of us basically are not in the mood for work! It's my first time having a department's Christmas Party and I had fun playing games, taking pictures of the lovely deco, food, presents and kids.

I won prizes for 2 of the games, and gave the presents to the kids. But one of the colleagues rejected my gifts saying "我的宝贝有很多了，有心就好。" =) And her kids were smiling at their simple hand-made gifts, which compared to the other kids, I really felt "simple & contented" in their smile. =)

There were lucky draws too, and I was called to received the 1st consolation prize. This is what I call "beginners' luck". =D Reminds me of my Polytechnic's prom night, when I won a consolation prize too.

Continued my 2nd half of the day shopping with my lovely twins, Jan. We went shopping for her boyfriend's Christmas present and Baby Ezann's shower present. So looking forward to the baby shower this Sunday! ^-^

Lunch reunion

9th August 1985, the day we "met".
5th January 1998, the day we reunite.

He was my "boyfriend" for 2 years.
He was always teasing my swimming skills.
He, together with Sinister Tan, always abuses me with force.

We parted 2 years later and today, we reunite once again!

If not for facebook and SP, we wouldn’t have gotten back the “good” old days we had together. With his invitation and my acceptance, we had a great lunch today.

Reminiscing our Secondary school days and sharing with each other the impacting incidents we had in the parting 10 years. It was awesome, and I’m looking forward to more of such meet-ups with my friends.

=)

Merry Christmas!

It's gonna be Christmas in 4 days! This Christmas will be a busy one for me, at home. Cleaning my room for the New Year, preparing BD's Christmas & New Year present (our first time "celebrating"), and browsing through my travel checklist for any last minute purchases.

Had a lovely, fun, wonderful and completely awesome Christmas exchange with the 老家伙们 and here are the exciting results for the lucky draws!

♪ Ah Bui ------- Hazey's ♪

♪ Ah Mel ------ Ah Bui's ♪

♪ Alice --------- Toby He's ♪

♪ Baby --------- Alice's ♪

♪ Didi ---------- Baby's ♪

♪ Hazey -------- Me's ♪

♪ Jessica ------- Ah Mel's ♪

♪ Me ----------- Didi's ♪

♪ Toby He ----- Jessica's ♪

We had our "Turkey" feast at 313's Brotzeit and it is a wonderful dining place! Though we spent about $45 per person for the meal, we had quality time together!

The exchange "ceremony" was at Orchard Central's Ben & Jerry's and did some photo-shooting thereafter. To mark the wonderful night, we "did up" a special Music Video starring Scott Law Ah Bui!! *drums rolling*

The annual Christmas exchange we always look forward to...

My "humsome" Didi!!

The 2 老家伙们 who always do the kind deed compromising me...

The female 老家伙们...

The last shot of the night... A retard, humsome, blurry, itchy-hand & the 2 debating behind...

I simply miss them SO dearly and can't help but shed some tears of happiness and misses when we say our goodbyes, for now.

"Ken Nee"

Receiving the news of baby Justin's Chinese name, the family went into a commotion of the daughters' names.

My original name was 'Ken Nee' and according to some Master that my dad heard from, it wasn't a great name. So I am now 'Shuin Dee'. My dad wanted to give us Christian names for 'Shuin Nee' and 'Shuin Dee' as 'Serene' and 'Cindy' respectively, but we ended up calling ourselves 'Vernette' and 'Denise'.

Mom was all excited and went to dig out the "star" in the family, me.

I was all over the newspapers in around my birthdate, and was even in Channel 5's 4.15pm's show. According to my mom, my sis was jealous of my fame and now I know why I got this permanent bump on the back of my head, which according to her, it was an accident caused by her and one of my cousins while playing with me. "Accident" huh? =x

[Anthony Neely] Sorry That I Loved You

I cried listening to the lyrics. Sinister Tan's words kept ringing in my head. I should heed his advice after all. =)



For all of the time that i tried for your smile
For making you think that i was worth the while
So your love love love love love would be mine
For sending you flowers and holding your hand
That no one was there to take a stand
But then love love love made us blind
And I’m so sorry that I hurt you
Sorry that I fell through
Sorry i was falling in love with you
I’m sorry that it came true
But sorry doesn’t turn back time
For all that i have done to you
I wish that i could make it right
So sorry that i loved you
Sorry that i needed you
Sorry that i hold you tight
And I’m So sorry for...
Making you love me and saying goodbye
For being the one that taught you how to cry
It was love love love and it passed us by
For giving you every thing that you dreamed
For taking it back when i fled the scene
sorry love,for wasting your time
And I’m so sorry that I hurt you
Sorry that I fell through
Sorry i was falling in love with you
I’m sorry that it came true
But sorry doesn’t turn back time
For all that i have done to you
I wish that i could make it right
I’m so sorry that i loved you
Sorry that i needed you
Sorry that i hold you tight
And apology now after all of this time
Won’t make my difference tonight
But I’m hoping I’m Sorry will open your mind
To love love love love in your life
Sorry that i hurt you
Sorry that i fell through
Sorry i was falling in love with you
I’m sorry that it came true
But sorry doesn’t turn back time
For all that i have done to you

So sorry that i hurt you
Sorry that i fell through
Sorry i was falling in love with you
I’m sorry that it came true
But sorry do can’t turn back time
I’m sorry that i loved you
I’m sorry that i hurt you
I’m so sorry that i loved you
I’m sorry that i hurt you
Sorry that i loved you

Sinister from Nepal!

So great to see a familiar chatbox popping out from the corner of my screen. Sinister Tan is still at Nepal and he's only half way through his exciting and adventurous journey over there! It's really tempting when I hear a little part of the activities he did so far. He have more for him to explore and experience!

Waiting for my next year travelling partner to return seriously!!

BLUE MONDAY

A tiring weekend results in a bluey Monday.

Last week has been pretty exhausting for me. An exhausted brain, body and I’m not feeling very healthy.

[Work] I’ve settled the $0.01 & $0.75, but here comes another big amount which I’ve re-do it for about 5 times?! Apart from that, more job responsibilities coming up. My every day is so occupied.

[Uni Gathering] Indulged ourselves in a scrumptious dinner at Raffles City’s Sushi Tei accompanied with the horrifying, image-less craziness and laughter generated by 4 ladies~ totally enjoyed this kind of once in a blue moon gathering. =D

[Travelling preparations] Never knew preparation work to a cold country will be that tedious and I wasn’t very enthusiastic in getting the stuff because this means a bigger hole in my small pocket. Nevertheless, it was fun trying on the coats even though I didn’t buy any (thanks to Sam) and winter accessories. BD was so thrilled with the winter wear and this is real CGN for a guy.

[Christmas Shopping] Due to budget and time constraints, I only managed to buy 4 and I’m left with 2! I brought back whole loads of Christmas presents home, BUT they’re not for me or for my friends! BD pushed all his presents to me for wrapping. BIG sweat!


[Food Indulgence] With cheap McDonalds’ in Campus is really BAD. Temptations to have a good and satisfying breakfast on every Fridays (Friday is Happy day!) is going stronger. Sushi Tei with Uni girlfriends (yah I know I’ve mentioned), Korean food & Paradise Inn supper with PIL girlfriends, Aijisen & MOF with BD. And that’s to why I’m feeling unhealthy.

[何维健] 当我知道你们相爱

I ♥ this! Looking at Derrick's new hairstyle, I see Sinister Tan in him. ^-^
This song is fabulous and catchy to the ear! So proud studying in the same school as him and seeing him in person during our schooling days!

Proverbs 10:26

"As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is the lazy man to those who send him."

Lazy people do not have many friends because lazy people are irritating. True friendship consists of a loving relationship. True friends give freely of themselves because they want to and not just to get something in return. Lazy people are not givers. They are freeloaders and takers. A lazy person cannot have any true friends because a lazy person values not working more than having a friend.

Shoes, and a cute colleague.

*Flipping the newspaper together*

“BATA Sales!”
“You bought your shoes at BATA?”
“Some~”
“Is the one you’re wearing now from BATA?”
“Yups ^-^”
“What about the grey one you always wear?”
“And the black one”
“Oh, they’re from Far East.”
“I don’t buy expensive shoes~”
“BATA is cheap ah?”
“The ones I bought are cheap ^-^y”
“Oh~ your shoes look comfy. I always see you walking in front of me like very 轻飘飘”
“Wonder whether the men shoes are also like yours”
“You wanna wear my shoes?!”
“No! I mean comfy shoes like yours~”
“Wait a minute, you’re observing the shoes I wear?!”

*runs aways*

-__- That’s my colleague.

Out of control excitement

The mystery of $0.01 is solved!
I am so excited can?!
This is really one little satisfaction that makes me go out of the line (my quiet image)

When I solved that “case”, I was basically screaming and jumping in joy!

My roomy was shocked.
A colleague of mine who happened to come in my room was stunned.
Baby went -__- when we lotus each other.

Whoa! I’m loving this challenge! ^-^

WONDERFUL night!

Birthday celebration with Sinister Tan at Holland Road!
We haven’t met in the past 16 months and I was really excited meeting him!

It was not only catching up with him, but also a night for me to experience new stuff. *hiaks

I was aiming at his Charsi ride. *heh

The night was really wonderful. I get to explore Holland Road. =)
I was brought to places which I think I will be going back for more in the near future!
We walked into parks and routes that we didn’t know will lead us to where.
We went to dining and chilling places that we’ve never been to.
Night at Holland is really amazing.
There are more to this place apart from its pubs.

Finding the right companion for the activities you love is really important.

Sadly Sinister Tan is going on a Nepal backpack trip for the whole of December! *Envies!

After hours of exploring, the activity of the night that I have been anticipating is finally here! His Charsi motorbike ride!!

My first time on the bike, and as expected from BD, I’ve made a fool of myself wearing the helmet, taking off it, getting on and off the bike. Anyways, friends of mine have already gotten used to it, so it’s no surprise~

Sinister Tan told me to tighten my thighs against his if I am afraid. Surprisingly, I wasn’t! I was enjoying the ride totally! It’s definitely unforgettable! It’s so different on the bike and in the car. =)

May he quickly get his BMW!! *hohoho~

Blogging at Lunch

I’m not busy, but there are already back logs waiting for me to clear.
The “B” on my working keyboard is giving me problem! Hate it!
Only $0.01 and I can close my Aug’10 file! *grumbles
Fishball is getting pampered and naughty!
Emi’s cake is now at Clementi! ^^ Mini Christmas log cakes are ready for orders!

………

I’m simply bored lunching alone in the office.

It’s Fishball Day!

Had a long 4 hours meeting in the afternoon and I ended up bringing work home to do on this short 1 day public holiday. Didn’t want to work overtime yesterday as I was already late from visiting my dear Godson!

Fishball is such a darling! Entered the place and he was peeping behind the meshed door, wondering who is this unfamiliar face (me, his Godma~). I couldn’t resist his adorable curious look and wanted to have a good view of him from the kitchen while I munched on my dinner until baby nagged me to eat properly on the dining table.

Finally I can have a great cozy and close-up time with my Godson! ^^ I took out the kitty toy that I bought for him about a month ago, and the chicky toy my BIL bought for me. Fishball was first curious yet timid with the “hopping” chicky and many times he went behind the kitty bed I bought for him weeks ago to protect himself from the chicky. Then later he became courageous and "killed" it.

I then took out the kitty toy and he was so happy! Running and hopping around like a rabbit (loving his short legs~) after the toy. Seeing him so amazed over the toy, I decided to make use of this toy for something.

Baby told me he doesn’t sleep on the bed I bought (这不识相的鱼丸~), so I attempted to lure him inside the cot many times with the kitty toy. I was very excited when he put one of his paws in the cot, BUT that’s the furthest he did. -__-

Very hoping that we will nurture him to be a musically-inclined kitty; for now, he proved to us that he is just a playful, curious yet ignorant to music kitty. *Whahaha! Baby and me had a mini “jamming” session between ourselves and all Fishball did was play by himself, or sleep under our shadows. Such a sleepyhead just like Godma. =D

It was tiring but fun playing with Godson! I have never hugged an animal (apart from hamsters), so I was really very nervous when I attempted to carry Fishball. I was so afraid to hurt him with my force! First time hugging him, and he was quite cooperative. Baby told me he doesn’t like being carried, so he will meow to show his displeases. He did the first few times when we took turns to carry him. It’s heartbreaking to see him meow-ing so loudly.

Nevertheless, this playful Godma he have (sorry Fishball~) was “addicted” in hugging him after her first few attempts and continued doing so in the later part when the night is getting real dark.

To our surprise, he did not complain at all even when I hugged him for a few minutes, longer than what we expected! That’s our boy! But we later figured out, he could be tired and gave in to these 2 mad mamas who always irritate him. =x

I so ♥ Fishball! My Godson!

Till the next time we meet (soon I promise!), please take care and eat well ball ball~

Updates for this week..

Trimmed my fringe.

I need an air breather, from work.
Staying at home doesn't help when I'm always called to do my chores, an added stress to my hectic week.
Going out do the wonders, totally! (of course wif great companion!)
A day out at the most natural me, no make-up, no hair-do, wearing my home specs.
I'm loving it.
=D

Totally NO Link.

Running 5km after a sleepless night is definitely not advisable! Luckily I was still able to finish the race and walk out of the muddy center field.

Treated ourselves to some mouth-watering Japanese meal, putting back the calories we shed within hours. *heh.

Inspiring turtle story from Lili:

One day, a lady saw a sea turtle crawling up to the shore. Seeing this, she carried the sea turtle on her truck with the intention of sending the turtle back to the sea.

A man came and asked her why she did so, she exclaimed, “The turtle need to get back to the sea, she is in pain.”

“No!” shouted the man.

“The turtle had spent a lot effort swimming to the shore, just to lay her eggs. And now her effort had gone to waste instantly without even doing so!”

Moral of the story: Many times, people make decisions that involve another party without valuing the other party’s desire. They probably did it on self interest, assumptions and many more. It is vital to respect and get the answer from the involved party for better communication. Thus, before carrying out any decisions, ask the parties involved, what does he/she want?

With ♥~

Love makan-ing sessions with ♥~

Love exploring sessions with ♥~

Love visiting pet shops with ♥~

KFC Roasta Burger and Megumi Japanese Restaurant is fantastic!

Links everywhere from MS to esplanade, to Raffles City, to Suntec, to Millenia Walk is incredible.

Pet shop at Sunset way and Esplanade exchange is interesting!! =D



Updated Slide!

It has been ages since I last update the slide show on the sidebar of my blog. And since I have plenty of time before I start going MIA (maybe?) here, I shall update it.

Ta-da! The latest slideshow with some of the dearies in my present life.

[蕭亞軒] 錯的人

Felt a lot for this song's lyrics. Memories are indeed difficult to forget, but I am willing to face it and this is what I am doing it now. I see the change in me, I see the maturity in me.

明知道愛情並不牢靠 但是我還是拼命往裡跳

明知道再走可能是監牢 但是我還是相信只是煎熬

朋友都勸我不要不要 不要拿自己的幸福開玩笑

但是做人已經那麼累 假惺惺的想要逃

在愛裡連真心都不能給 這才真正的可笑

愛得太真 太容易 讓自己犧牲 太容易讓自己沉淪

太容易 不顧一切 滿是傷痕

我太笨 明知道你是錯的人

明知道這不是緣分 但是我還奮不顧身

明知道愛情並不牢靠 但是我還是拼命往裡跳

明知道再走可能是監牢 但是我還是相信只是煎熬

朋友都勸我不要不要 不要拿自己的幸福開玩笑

但是做人已經那麼累 假惺惺的想要逃

在愛裡連真心都不能給 這才真的真正的可笑

愛得太真 太容易 讓自己犧牲 太容易讓自己沉淪

太容易 不顧一切 滿是傷痕

我太笨 明知道你是錯的人

明知道這不是緣分 但是我還奮不顧身

可能 在愛裡面這樣算笨

可能 永遠沒有所謂永恆

但是我 不願放棄這裡面一點點可能 寧願笨也不想要悔恨

愛得太真 太容易 讓自己犧牲 太容易讓自己沉淪 太容易 不顧一切 滿是傷痕

我太笨 明知道你是錯的人 明知道這不是緣分 但我還是奮不顧身

我太笨 明知道你是錯的人 明知道這不是緣分 但我相信有點可能

Random Activities

Went back office early in the morning to take back some of the stuff I left behind on Friday with the help of Toby He’s staff pass and I am happy to know the new security guard who have been working with PIL for the past 7 months. =)

Schedule for today was actually exploration at KTM Railway station & visit to 8Q Art gallery, but weather changed from sunny to pouring while we had our lunch at Amoy. So we made a very random decision to our second round of lunch at ION’s Paradise Dynasty.

Baby happened to come across this place on some article she read, and as fans of Xiao Long Bao, we were very excited about trying these cute little Baos. Toby was pulled along by us, and we had a great time doing some of our favourite pastimes, cam-ing and window groceries shopping!

It was a relaxed and pleasant Sunday indeed. A great day to begin my one week break from work. =)

Reminiscing life in PIL [08/09/2008 ~ 22/10/2010]

Stomachache in the first day of work;
Gasped at the sight of the number of people in my batch (it was said to be the most number of newbies on the same day).
Brought up to my department by Erika and Alice became my buddy.

《无间道》enactment by my batch guys during our on vessel shipping familiarization programme was entertaining and unforgettable.

The scolding days by my Boss were miserable and not motivating. But I managed to overcome it with the help of some nice colleagues then.

Receptionists were always friendly and motherly. Shirley is always smiling and caring; Sandie is always “in a rush” yet concerning. Angeline is always eating with her small sized, Cheng Hao the always “let’s go for sandwich?” guy, Brigitte the Chairman Secretary that I admire very much of her bravery.

I became cliques with some colleagues after a few months. Alice my buddy, Kang Yan the Ah bui 1, Benne, Melvin and Toby my best crazy pal now! Then Melvin introduced Elaine (Ah bui 3 aka Baby) into the clique and she’s my best confidante now!

My first cry in PIL and it’s over a silly prank by Bryan Mai, my relationship with Benne Tan, tea-breaks with Vinny are unforgettable.

Days slowly passed and many have changed. The colleagues and friends I met come and go. First it was Alice, then Bryan, Elaine, Vivien, Zenrick, Chin Hock, Vincent, Qian Rong, Alex, Melvin, Benne, me and Ying Long.

During my period in PIL, I’ve met and befriend really nice colleagues. Colleagues from ACL, AGSL, CORP, MGMT, LINER, TDFN, FIN, ISD, FLEET & TECHNICAL, LOGISTIC, P&T, HR, and ADMIN made a meaningful part of the picture.

There were nicknames for me by my colleagues (I especially love “cute cute” by Ange and Ah Bee *heh*) which made my stay even happier and memorable.

As the sayings, friends come and go; true friends remain no matter what.

I am thankful for the encouragement and farewell messages that some of the colleagues and managers sent. Ms Peck came to find me (her first time entering Fin department!) with her blessings; Chairman’s Secretary, Brigitte, the receptionists Shirley and Sandie and my boss made me cried especially hard on my last day in PIL.

Cousin love

If you ask whose character in the family I take after, I will say my cousin’s.
Looking at his words and actions at home today, a thought “Why do I find these familiar?” came across. And that could be the reason why I always enjoyed playing with him when my aunt babysits me in my younger days.

Updating him about my life, I felt his valuable words of concerns and advices.

“Single forever also never mind, as long as you know you who’s the right guy for you. Be it near or far.” – I sense his loneliness~~

“No point explaining things to people who won’t sincerely listen to you.” – reminds me of the “police” case my sis told me of his younger days.

“Be more expressive, but don’t use violence” – (-___-)” Still thinking of the days when I exert force on his butt???

“You can study, work and do the things you want to, but make sure you are clear of your path.”

These words may sound normal to some, but coming from my cousin is something that surprises me.

Music is Visible

音乐是可以看见的。。。闭上你的双眼，你就会看见它。

ARANZI ARONZO

 Mrs Saito and Ms Yomura, they have successfully met their objective producing cute, strange, cool, silly, horrible and comfortable Aranzi Aronzo characters.

One of their characters that I especially love is Sprite, a legendary Kappa (Japanese river imp). It is a monster that is often said to be a tortoise. Sprite is a dangerous and evil creature that feeds on animals and humans. As monstrous looking as it’s character, it often scares the hell out of children and the adults.

However, Mrs Saito and Ms Yomura have successfully “transformed” the evil images of the creature in people to a character that is well liked by the younger generations now. It is now a creature that appears to be a silly "loner".

Silly tortoise~ (^_^)"

Belated event!

Before my surprise for him, he surprised me instead.
Surprise call that made me “shouted” in public.
Surprise outfit that made my jaw dropped with (n_n) smiles.

Ajisen will be our second favourite place for lunch I guess?

Our “first” time happened at Centrepoint’s Robinsons.
BD first time buying a branded wallet for self.
Me first time buying men’s apparel for self.
Our first time as a “flasher” in public.

More blunders to our shopping history book~
The first time BD tried to treat ourselves to Ding Tai Feng with his Citibank vouchers, BD ended up paying everything without using the vouchers as he’s not a Citibank card holder.
This time, BD tried to purchase his $125 wallet with his Capitaland vouchers, and ended up paying everything without using the vouchers again as Centrepoint is not under Capitaland.

Hopefully there won’t be any more on our next outing!

Finally the surprise gift I longed prepared.
It was indeed an unexpected surprise as the machine was not working when he tried it at home. The battery leaked! =x

Happy Belated Birthday BD!!
