Just when I thought that my darling dearest would never get me girlie presents for my birthday, he surprised me tonight.
Yang likes to keep me in suspense about the kind of birthday gifts he buys me. Hence, it has been tricky for him to get me anything feminine as he can’t ask me directly. For example, he almost bought me a scarf from Boston but decided against it as I might not take to the colour or design.
There are a few material things that have a mystical hold on a woman’s heart. One of them is bags, handbags. We just can’t have enough of them. There are always newer and prettier designs out there that tug at our hearts. Whenever we are at the bags section of any departmental store, I would go "ooh isn’t that nice, darling?" and sling that very bag over my shoulder before a mirror. Yang would go "dear, you already have a handbag…" -_____-
You guessed it right. He gave me a handbag for a birthday present! And I loved it. :D I like the simple, clean design. I have transferred all the nitty gritty items from my old handbag to the new one. Yay. :)
Together with the costly handbag, Yang also got me a lovely bouquet of red roses (I love flowers!), a yummy chocolate cake, an activity set and a kid’s bible. The latter two were meant for mommy & nana’s bonding time. :)
I know this sounds shallow but here’s one happy woman :)
Blessed Birthday!
This is one side of Yang that I didn’t know :) Have a wonderful celebration with family.
Happy birthday, Ling!
That cake looks delicious. It’s strange, but I only ever buy cakes when I’m in Singapore . . . though I gladly eat them no matter where I’m located. : )

Hey Ling! Wishing you a blessed birthday- may you continue to be filled with joy in the coming year, and also to have lots of loving moments with Hannah :) Thanks for sharing so much on your blog that I (and so many others) can learn. Indeed, you are one super- mom! God bless!
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your well wishes and encouragement :) Pls send my love to Gabby :)
Happy, blessed birthday, Ling! :) Glad that you have such an enjoyable and lovely birthday with your family!
Hi Doreen,
Thanks! :D I have been wanting to catch up with you. How’s your calendar like in the 2nd half of October? :)
It’s great that your hubby gives u gifts according to your wants! Mine often gives me the wrong gifts cos he’s thinking like a guy..buying practical stuff while I want flowery impractical ones! But then, I buy him the wrong gifts too! :p
Hi Ally,
Indeed, Yang always try to buy me gifts according to my needs/wants. He’s an observant and thoughtful hubby. :)
When it’s my turn to get him presents, it is tougher to match his liking though. :P
