On the 25th of September my true love gave to me…

One dozen roses

One digital photo frame

One Starbucks coffee mug

One digital compact camera

One coffee table photo album with 4 years of photos taken together

My darling’s so sweet and thoughtful.:) Each present was carefully selected with me in mind. The bouquet of flowers was the biggest surprise as Yang has been telling me how impractical flowers are. But he decided to bend a bit to make me flutter with joy. :D I received it this morning at work – what a great way to start a day!

Another gift which thrilled me even more was the digital photo frame; I had been captivated by its ability to display so many photos. Ya, we can also make the PC screen do the slideshow of photos but this small little frame is just so neat. I often stood mesmerized at the device whenever we go into Challenger or Best Denki at Hougang Mall. As expected, the gift came with a selection of 150 photos installed for me. I love my darling! :D

The next 3 gifts were given to me way before my birthday due to timing issues. For the mug and camera, it was my need to use them sooner as I broke the previous mug darling bought me (sorry, my dear) and the previous digital compact camera went kaput. When it comes to my needs, Yang always pay extra attention. :)

The coffee photo album was a first in its own class. Yang spent a lot of man-hours selecting and putting together a grand collection of photos that tell little stories of our lives together since the days of our ‘patho-logy’. He even did the captions in the album. There are 160 pages in total and the softcopy was sent to USA for printing into a book. Swell, isn’t it. And guess what, this is only book 1. Yang is already compiling book 2 le.

I was excited to blog about my 5 birthday presents but was wondering too whether I would come across as boasting. Anyway, I believe that if my man has done something well, the wife should honor him :)

Thank you so much, darling dearest :D
