Val brought me an exquisite set of water colours, brushes and paintboards.Oh, they are so pretty, they're almost precious.
I do hope I could come up with some nice paintings,,,, something I would love to dabble in soon.
My sis handmade this unique looking bear.
I have not thought of a name for it yet but it is decidely male.
Given her limited handy-skills, I think this bear is a feat for her. Thanks a lot!
It has my name & 2008 sewn on its two feet (paws). Cool.
Brendan gave me a year-long present.
That is, two piggy banks worth of gold coins.
This year, it amounts to $833.
I thought it would be something like $1200 but it was not so.
Nevertheless, this has become a yearly regime that I quite look forward to.
Earlier on, Bren had bought me a Samsung mobile phone for my BD.
It is a touch-phone, an i-phone wanna be.
Well, it looks alright and it is time to just keep up with new technology ocassionally.
Oh, and I received my bi-yearly $500 cheque from my insurance payout.
I used to be so excited with this event but this year, it was a little dampened as my mom who is out of a job needs more money and had asked for some from us. Well, it is only our duty to take care of her needs, it is just that I have to adjust to the higher demand nowadays.
Overall, I am happy to be 35, though I used to think that that is a terribly old age!
I could remember when I was 21, when I met any co-worker who was 35, I used to shriek, like OMG, she's 35!
Now that I'm 35, I don't feel a day older than 23. I wonder why.
(Oh, pardon me, I do feel physically older though. Like I've lost the confidence to SKATE BOARD!!!! How did THAT happen?!)

happy belated birthday. What a cool gift; Piggy banks full of coins. $833 is quite a lot. If you want more, give Brendan a bigger piggy bank? ;)
