Alex & Penelope held their housewarming in conjunction with Mathias' 3rd birthday.

The Make-A-Wish foundation and MacDonald's have generously sponsored the party for little Mathias who has been diagnosed with Menkes since he was a year old. At three, Mathias is unable to sit, stand or move agilely unlike kids at his age. Penelope has dedicated herself to caring for him full time, and a year ago, they have been blessed with a healthy second child, Zebedee. It's been a tough journey, and we pray for the best for them =)

That aside, we were discussing about planning a trip to Melbourne with Anders and Serina then i had to leave the party early coz I got recalled back to work (for the third time this month). Standby duty sucks balls. Aargh. I was SO upset that my weekend was ruined, that I was sulking the whole time when Poppy drove me home to get my stuff. I went for a jog in the morning, and was hoping i can get a good sleep tonight after the workout. TMD, kena called back to work.

Poppy tried to cheer me up by offering a nice dinner tomorrow after work, but i was totally not in the mood for anything. Blah. And just before leaving home, i got a message that sent me raiding the closet:

"Don't be sad ok... Open the bedroom door, open the top wardrobe..

A surprise for you... Hope to make you smile and a happy 1st month anniversary..

We will have more wonderful years ahead.."

The first two compartments i ransacked, had nothing special in them. Then i dragged the stool to the other side and found...

A brand new Longchamp Planètes!

He came up from behind and wrapped his arms around me, but instead of smiling and hopping around in joy, i broke down and started wailing. I felt (and still feel) so terrible about not having any presents for him and not even being able to spend the rest of the evening counting down with him. Boohoo.

This is indeed came as a huge surprise coz i wasn't expecting him to buy me anything since i have everything i needed plus he just got me the new lappie two weeks ago. He's such a sweetsie, isn't he!

The funny part was he asked me why i didn't open the bag up. He asked if i did not like it. And i was like: "i like it, but it's just that i'm not in the mood", but still went back to the room to open it. When i started opening the bag, he smugly added: "...but there's nothing inside anyway. muahaha."

中招 ._."

I wonder if Mich had any part to do with this. I'm pretty certain he got Adrian and Jessica to buy it during their honeymoon to Europe, but how did he ever know the exact size and color i wanted?! Oh, by the way he got himself a nice wallet from Longchamp too. Can't remember what it looked like exactly, but i think it's the Veau Foulonné:

No wonder he was reluctant to tell me when he went to meet Adrian up. Sneaky Poppy!

Now, left with just a couple of hours before i knock off, i'm gonna do some shopping online. I'll order his favorite cK and Gap fragrances plus the Crabtree and Evelyn India Hicks Island: Casuarina diffuser set to make it up to Poppy! Need to resist the Zee monster. Yawn...
