i've lost and have retreated.
are you happy?

my x'mas/new years gift to myself

on saturday i went to drink tea with my family and then went on a small shopping trip with bro and micsis... what can i say? i've been trying to make time to set foot into the miumiu store in tst, but either never remember or never have time! but magically once i'm with bro and micsis, i can finally go inside and i see the bag i've been trying to get my hands on...

and guess what? 'miraculously' there were two of them!
i've been trying to get a black bag for aaaaaages, ever since i realized how many people use my musebag and that nearly every bag i have was brown (usually dark-ish brown). i am so happy with this bag.. for it's look, colour, style etc and especially since it was one of the last two in the store :D with three girls hovering over the sample bag in our hands, it was good to hear micsis saying "we'll take both!" when the sales brought out the last two~ i really am a devil haha.. definitely no help in the "dont' buy this _insert item_ because..." department! (more details about that day is here in micsis blog entry)
although there was a sad point to that day (i don't want to talk about it :( i hate losing things!) it all ended pretty well :D

once again, thanks for the cards and gifts! :D hope everyone had a merry christmas and will have an awesome new year's countdown! (try not to get too drunk :P) i will post pics taken randomly on christmas eve later~

current mood: good shopping trip :D

silly~ hahah thanks for 'planning' that post for me subconsciously :P it's nice to know that even though you're so far away, you're still thinking of me! hehe.. makes me miss you guys and girls even more :( give my love to the girlies and tell them i miss them a lot and wish them a happy new year!

richter~ thanks for your wishes :D hope you have a wonderful holiday too XD be sure to send me turtle pics when you've completed 'the move'~

it's christmas soon~~

happy holidays everyone :D hope you all have a wonderful holiday and a great start to the new year! eat lots and remember to relax and have a lot of fun as well~ thanks to all those who took time to mail me a christmas card, even though i'm in far away hk XD

to start my entry...first off, i was a little disappointed when my boss informed me that i couldn't take my leave (27, 28 and 31) because there weren't enough people at work and it was also month end :( so i'd have to stay for those three days. as i wasn't planning on going anywhere (hokkaido will be next year for sure!), it wasn't actually TOO bad; i think i'm pouting just because i was planning to be able to tell everyone that i can laze around at home and now i can't :(
however i do have my loveeeely~~~ coworkers to spend next week with so i am REALLY glad that they're here! love you guys~~

our company annual christmas party was held (very successfully may i add) on tuesday 18 december! i am glad it's over but yet at the same time can't believe it's over because it seemed like we hadn't planned it for a very long time. this year i think is much better than the previous years because we had better ideas and the committee was a LOT more fun :D

this year's theme was "movie night" and the games included:

1. drawing things with a blindfold on while your team attempts to guess
2. a clip of the movie "The Ring" was shown and each table had to re-enact that scene with props we provide and anything else they find in the room
3. a clip of a famous movie was shown and questions were asked about that scene

pics:

me and april~~
"wow look at all the gifts" fake surprise~
we said he looks like he's the groom for tonight's dinner haha..
another person with the girls :P
blurry yes, but it was the only pic that showed me with my prize :D and seeing how happy i look shows i like my prize :D
more pics in my photo album~

overall, as in the years before, OUR table won the games~ :D
for the acting scene game, we obviously used the scene where sadako crawls out of the tv and scares the crap out of the guy.
lets just summarize it by saying it was *&#$ hilarious!

what other things happened? we had a magician come perform for about 45 minutes (amazing, really amazing and fun :D) and i won a hkd1k gift coupon for lane crawford~ (good for cosmetics and such i guess?)

i am still looking forward to the holidays and to giving out x'mas cards/gifts at work :D

current mood: get rid of the nastiness before year end....

ara~ thanks for your card :D i love it!! glad you got mine in time for x'mas.. have an awesome holiday dear!

current mood: christmas, then my birthday, then CNY (mama and papa coming back~~ :D)

ISLY...IRD

i recently (finally!) got fishy to send me one of my favorite songs from evangelion "thanatos if i can't be yours" and since then i haven't been able to get it out of my head again. I actually began listening to this song about 10 years ago, back when we were all still watching eva, but i lost it due to my old hdd dying. listening to it again, i've just realized how it just fits.

thanatos if i can't be yours~
Now its time, I fear to tell
I've been holding it back so long
But something strange deep inside of me is happening
I feel unlike I've ever felt
And its making me scared
That I may not be what
I think I am

What of us? what do I say?
Are we both from a different world
Cause every breath that I take,
I breathe it for you
I couldn't face my life without you
And I'm so afraid.
There's nothing to comfort us
What am I, if I can't be yours

I don't sleep, don't feel a thing
And my senses have all but gone
Can't even cry from the pain, can't shed a tear now
I realise we're not the same and it's making me sad
Cause we can't fufill our dreams in this life

So I must, let us break free
I can never be what you need
If there was a way through the hurt
Then I would find it.
I'd take the blows, yes I would fight it
but this is the one
Impossible dream to live
What am I, if I can't be yours..

current mood:

Jay Chou 2007 concert :D

there are a few things i wanted to post before i forgot, but since last night's events are still fresh in my head, i've decided to type it down before i forget :D

i finally got a chance to attend Jay Chou in concert last night! Previously, either i left HK just before his concert or when i was in HK he didn't have one that year or something ~_~;; so when it was confirmed that he was going to perform this year, i wasted no time in arranging to get tickets to see him :D only thing is i wish silly was here to watch with me because we'd be able to scream like crazy together :(

to summarize, i think he is very talented, not just because he can write his own songs and such but he's able to produce a very distinct style that is "jay chou" and has been able to do it with ease. He's also very talented as a musician, and demonstrated that by playing piano, guitar, drums and the zither (thanks for the term silly hahah) with skill, and not just basic strumming/playing. i heard that the saturday night show had Yundi Li performing the 'piano show-off' section with him which i wish i could have watched! his singing wasn't too bad, pretty much sounding like his cd, and he performed so many different things last night that i found it pretty entertaining. from performing acoustic versions of his fast songs, then later performing a really dance version etc. although i wish it could have gone on forever, the concert ended promptly after 11 and on a very sudden note :( however, i finally brought my camera this time, so I can show a taste of what it was like :D

please click on the picture to see it in full~

the arena was packed :D
he rose from the bottom of the stage on top of this 'carousel' thing :D i love it XD
then he rose up on the middle of the stage and began playing several piano solos ~
jay chou on the zither :D too bad it was in the middle of the stage :(
and lara of lam chuen ma ma:
these were the best of the pics i took.. we sat on the far side of arena which was great because he was always in the sides more than in the middle and i could get quite a few closeups :D

I talked to some of my colleagues who saw the concert as well and i'm thankful that the speakers and mikes were working properly last night! one colleague said she sat really far, but she couldn't hear anything because the speakers weren't working! and the mike kept screeching as well... i feel so bad for them ~_~

on a side note, ah gor (ken) left :( i wish i could have seen him before he left but he was too busy that day and quite lost in doing his own thing so i guess i'm glad i was able to see him 3 times this year as opposed to one time two years ago :P
ah gor, thanks for everything! will post pics of dinners with him later~

everyone: i've mailed out my christmas cards! hopefully it'll all arrive before christmas :D

current mood:

silly~ you're so silly! no need to have to shop for me.. i'm getting you a christmas gift because i saw something i thought you may like a few months ago and "had" to get it for you. it's nothing big so dont' worry about having to get me a combination bday+x'mas gift! you have "other important gifts" to worry about if you get what i mean... Hahahaha good luck with that :D i'll see what i can think of as well :D (have stuff to show you later re: jay chou concert haha)

random recent gifts

recent gifts :D

strawberry bunny :D (i love this so much)
ms/mr. eyeless bunny (i loveee button joints!)
thanks for these :D love love love them XD especially the strawberry bunny which was a surprise!

current mood: feelin' the love!

silly~ hahah i'm glad my long entry helped your break :D i miss you so much... add oil on your crit tomorrow (err should be right NOW actually).. take care :D hope you like your gift!!!

sis birthday~ a longgg entry XD

i took a day off on thursday to spend it with my sis, as it was her birthday that day :D it was a great start to the weekend (to me, it begins on friday haha) ~ she came over to central to have lunch with me and bro, then we went off to elements where i also managed to get tickets to watch the 3D version of Beowulf. the mall, though big, didn't have much to look at so we left and went back to central to look at the tiffany at IFC and stop to have a afternoon drink. we headed back home afterwards, then went back out to dinner afterwards to a pretty well-known, old-style beijing cuisine restaurant in tst called 鹿鳴春飯店. i had gone there with the eas group awhile back for our 'reunion' back in march or so and really liked the food. the price was reasonable and the portions were huge! their peking duck is imported from beijing so the taste is a lot different from the usual HK peking duck. For those who have a chance to come to HK, must try it there :D Click here for more info~

as usual, we had a silly, fun time but didn't take too many pictures as both my camera and micsis/bro's cam were out of battery D:

the cute bday cake :D
micsis and i~
we couldn't find anyone to help us take a picture so bro was left out D:
kenny and i~ this is the first in a set of two silly pics but... i think i'll leave the other one out for now hahaha
more pics in my photo album~

the next day, i met up with donb after work and ate at that japanese restaurant i realllly like~ again, it's located in tst, and they are famous for their japanese style porkchop and for their sauces etc. (i was there for the veggies :D soo delicious~~) afterwards, we met up with ken around 10 and helped him buy some clothing he'd need to take on his japan trip (so lucky D: going to japan after arriving in HK for less than a week...) and then went to have some drinks/snacks with him. it was soooo nice because we had to a chance to chat with each after such a long while!

the next day i ate lunch at tst (notice the theme? i think i've been to tst nearly every single day this week.. haha i think it stems from my refusal to stay over in the HK side after work and to avoid it on weekends), then went to ysl to pick up this bracelet i had put on hold. the people in this tst store are SO SO nice ~_~ the reason why it took them all morning to call me was because they had the bracelet sent up from central to their tst store so that i could compare theirs and the one from central at the same time! they then proceeded to take out all their newest items (wallets and clutches mainly) and show them to me, although i didn't buy anything else aside from the bracelet~ for those who are interested, they told me their men's stuff will arrive this week :D
we went down to the lv store after, where i finally got my stupid bag sent to be repaired (long story ~_~;;)~ i was glad there wasn't a lineup outside! inside, the store was packed and it took me awhile to get someone to pay attention to me.. the sales weren't too friendly and it took me so long just to get the bag sent to repairs and to buy the agenda refill i needed ~_~; (i really miss the store in sydney! i know i should have asked the name of the sales that helped us there, but damn, what a large difference it was in comparison to HK.. much nicer)
afterwards we went to elements to watch the beowulf movie :D all i can say, without spoiling the movie, is that it was really really fun to watch, especially if you haven't watched a 3D movie before. i've only seen a short one at disneyland many years ago so it was really amazing to see a full length movie in 3D. i think the movie itself would have been a little less interesting if it wasn't in 3D, but i think it was not bad as a whole. i was basically (as per usual) the only one laughing at the lame jokes/actions in the movie... i wonder if it's because the ppl in hk really just read subtitles and the jokes are lost in translation or if they're too busy reading the subtitles to notice that something funny happened?

i got home really late and realized that i had a lunch date with my bro/micsis the next day so i basically had around 6 hours of sleep (not enough when it's the weekend! D:)
on sunday, i had a chance to relax with my family and spend the afternoon shopping a bit with my sis. sunday is always a 'winding down' and 'preparing' (for work D:) day for me so i took the time to stay at home and do things that i never had time to do. (ie. format my laptop; i hope it's not still messed up ~_~;;)

1. this week: must start on christmas cards, christmas present shopping and mailing out stuff! november is already nearly finished :D i am so glad (i think it's my least favorite month of the year.... haha..)

2. must be careful not to get sick (especially you, raven!!) - too many ppl have colds/sore throats/flu/cough at the office D:

3. should i? or should i not? re: taking the exam... i know i want to.. but it's such a large commitment ~_~

current mood: happy birthday sis ~~ (and jon too!!)

ara~ hihi dear, i sent you an email with my snail mail awhile back.. could you send me yours as well? thanks! :D i want to see more pics of you~

j9~ haha... hicksville aww.. come visit me soon! i will be sure (with silly little architect girl hopefully) to take you around and make sure you get a big dose of the HK city life here.. i get tired of it easily so i wish i can trade you for hicksville sometimes :(
mario galaxy is fun! depending on what style of game you want, for silliness get the rayman games (so super silly) and wario ware (for silly laughs again), for group games get mario party (for those days when you have a bunch of people over who want to play a board game without the actual 'board'), and maybe the mario olympics game (personally i think it's a little hard to play tough), for girlie games get cooking mama (for the girlie side of you), and guitar hero (for random music game). I could go on and on about this... hahah

christmas in the air XD

christmas is in the air!
festival walk - putting up christmas tree (a white one this year, in place of the swarovski one from last year)
harbour city - beautiful decorations from the ocean terminal entrance (next to ferry)... so gorgeous! but only complaint is that there are tons of people there (as expected~) D:

my attempt at taking a pic of the gorgeous display on the stairs :D just look at the number of people! (sorry for the positioning mr tuna! i will take nicer pics with my normal cam soon i promise :P you would love it at this time of year!)IFC - putting up a large centerpiece in various open areas like last year; last year was a toy theme, i wonder what it is for this year? and the stringed quartet is here again! :D love going here at lunch and enjoying the music while eating with friends; really dont' want to leave haha...

langham place - beautiful 'snow forest' theme and lots of hanging lights :D cameras off my prada phone actually dont' look too terrible haha...

a rabbit! :D
i finally bought christmas cards on saturday (cute ones, if i may say so myself haha), but counting again, i realize there may not be enough cards to send out D: my deadline to send out is first week of december, before those silly cut off dates and also so that people can receive them BEFORE the christmas holidays~

yesterday i went to a 'bayview' gathering dinner (i believe i was the only other non-bayview person that knew everyone... they called me a 'spy' or 'bayview wannabe' D:) organized by stephen (thanks for taking the time :D), which was a LOT of fun! ah gor (big ken) is back in HK and will be staying here for a short while so it was really good to see him again. we had about 14 people and ate at a chinese restaurant in the causeway bay area~

semi group photo (once again this photo is kinda messed up because there just wasn't enough space for us to stand all together haha...):

can't wait till we have another gathering! :)

on a side note, my sis' birthday is coming soon: this thursday! i was lucky and able to book a place recommended by philip previously (and that we went to for our first eas gathering) and will take half a day off (mandatory, as required by the Older Sister law :P) to spend it with her. i will take pics of that place for sure :D

current mood: i'm so tired D:

ps: park & shop are finally not giving out plastic bags anymore D: that means...either you pay for each bag they give you, or i gotta remember to bring reusable bags each time @.@ (i can totally imagine myself lugging vegetables/fruits home in my hands because i forgot...)

silly~ thanks.. same back to you :P i want to see more on your life drawing! good luck in these upcoming weeks; i know you're super busy and stuff.. give my love to your sis and tell her i love her and can't wait till we 'ss' you again~

ara~ thanks :D that outfit was inexpensive too... about 250 HKD? which is like 30 bucks CAD? if only i knew your size D: then i could get you clothing and dress you up since you're so tall and slim~ miss ya :D glad you write in your blog often!

mr. tuna~ hahaha i knew you were gonna make a comment about the pictures!! unfortunately that's what happens when you pass it to a waiter who tries to just fit everyone in the picture~ the picture with me and two other friends also had that problem so i kinda had to crop off a bit of it... it previously was showing off how beautiful the ballroom and tables were and seemed like we 'just happened' to be sitting there as well.... it was terrible! if i wasn't sitting so far, i would have preferred to bring my own cam of course hehe

a touching wedding :D

i've been sooo lazy to update lately, probably due to a mixture of random stuff that's been going on and also because i've been sleeping too late, lately =______=; i actually nearly fell asleep in the washroom today because i was sleepy...i found myself walking there with the purpose of standing in front of our tiny lockers and leaning against it to close my eyes. i took a power nap at lunch for around 20 minutes and it helped a lot.

on sunday, i went to attend a colleague's wedding! it was held at island shangri-la in admiralty and it was absolutely amazing! the setting was perfect, the service was perfect and my friend looked amazing that night :) it was just hard not to feel the love her husband had for her, and their vows made my eyes tear up so easily. it really told everyone "now THIS is what love is"... the food was pretty good too! and there were none of those embarassing games where you have to find out who the bride is, etc etc. so it was really short and sweet. i think that now that they allow lawyers to come to a reception place to conduct the marriage ceremony, it's much more efficient and MUCH more enjoyable. Previously, for those who dont' know how it works in HK, you basically gotta get a ticket to line up so that you can line up for a chance to get married on a certain day. that's right, you go online to grab a ticket so that you can have a chance in line to choose the day you wanted to get married. and that's not all, when you do get a chance to get your day, you have only 15 minutes to do the whole process and they literally rush you out the door even if you weren't finished!! so basically there would be minimal photo taking!

so, on to the pics from that night :D i had a LOT of fun with my colleagues and 'brother', ray and am ever so glad we have a few new members to our team at work who are around my age to talk to and stuff :D

ray bro and i:

me, april and philip :D
small group pic~
current mood: sigh... empty and lost! haha (as usual)

a lovely weekend~

the weather in hong kong has been soooo gorgeous lately! I can't begin to describe how comfortable it is. For one thing, it's a lot cooler than it was last year around this time, and it's also much dryer. yes, in comparison to the dryness in toronto, the HK dryness is not really all that dry, but if you live here for a year and compare to how 'wet' the air normally is, you'd get what i mean!

going into the month of november is kind of 'difficult' as there are no holidays this month AND there's not much going on. hopefully i can take a day off just to relax and do nothing as i think i really need that =__=;

to recap my weekend, i had class on saturday as usual, then went back home to wait for my sis to go out and shop. while waiting, we played guitar hero (or rather watch my bro/sis play it as they were nearly finished the game) for a bit, then headed out to tst. i haven't really done a 'go out and shop' type trip in awhile (usually i go out with friends but basically roam around endlessly looking at things) but it was soo nice to go to all these small plazas in tst that i never knew existed. we all just bought one item although we looked at a number of different shops.

on sunday, i went out to lunch at cwb, then shopped for belated birthday presents. after not really finding anything, we went back to tst where i bought a lot of 'much needed' things. i finally got a chance to visit the agnes B chocolate shop opened at harbour city!! the chocolates are so cute, and i was able to buy a present for a friend there, as well as a few chocolates for myself. unfortunately, i forgot to take a pic when there were more pieces but at least i got a pic of what two of the types of chocolates looked like:


(i had to sneak this pic while at work as i brought them to eat at work XD so sorry for the awkward lighting!) only two D: the chocolates are SOO adorable in a box together!! xD i am still debating whether i should open my friend's gift and take a picture but i don't think i should -.-;

for dinner we ate at this italian restaurant where they had a special type of pork meat called the "cinta senese', a type of pig that lives in Tuscany. Supposedly the meat is very good for you, as there's a lot of nutrients and 'good cholesterol'. the meat was grilled reallly nicely and it was so soft and delicious to eat! we also ordered spaghetti carbonara and for once, it's actually done al dente!!! (never before tried it and it was made correctly in HK lol). We also ordered this special 'cold platter' of various meats which was very very delicious and delicate. i definitely recommend going there to try it once!

i can't believe it's monday already D: i've got soo many things to do and i haven't even started @.@;; hopefully the day will pass by quickly and i can get out of here soon ~_~;;

this week: class, dinner, class, dinner, dinner, dinner, wedding @.@ already filled up~

current mood: still feeling a bit dizzy from the day before ~_~;

nic~ hahah i am very scary ga, so better be careful hohoho~ thanks for your support.. please remember you have mine. if you want to talk about anything, email me or msg me at ANY time about anything la.. you have me here to support you too!

arashi~ haha i'm so glad you have frequent updates on your blog now :D it's like catching up with you even though we dont' get many chances to talk! love you!

mr tuna~ thanks for lurking around here! i know you have had a very crazy weekend and week and an even crazier week coming up.. take good care of yourself ok? i hope i get some chances to chat with you, but even if i'm not, dont' worry, i'm here supporting you. hope no one continues to pester u to do stupid useless work when there's a bigger problem at hand. LYT!!

seeing the sunshine~ :D

it's been a week since i wrote here! i was kept super super super busy since last post, which is a good thing because it kept my mind from wandering off and thinking silly things, and it also gave me a chance to focus better on things i really need to work harder on: my work/studies!
my manager was on leave for three weeks, taken at a not too good timing time, because it's not only monthly reports, it was quarterly, annual, lots of new clients etc. and basically every single day was cramped with conference calls/meetings/presentations/reports etc. I'm tired! but i think i enjoyed it as well :D

to recap, it was a long weekend here in HK so after getting off around 7ish on thursday, i went to eat dinner and chat/drinks etc around tst area (yet again!). i had to shop for four bday gifts but gave up at the end because i couldnt' find anything haha...
on friday i went to sing k with ray and karen, both whom are perfect k partners :D (we need to do this more often!!) then met up with my sis to go shopping... for the first time in ages, i managed to go into shops and come out, unscathed, and only bought a jacket which was going for half it's normal price :D (yes, i still bought something but i didn't randomly shop like i normally would when i'm in a weird mood!)

on saturday i went out japanese class (late again..) then met up with bro and micsis at tst (yet again.. this is a common theme this weekend) and shopped with them for a bit before meeting kenny for dinner (for his bday! :D). i did the smartest thing and actually forgot his presents and the stuff i was supposed to bring for bro/micsis ~_~;; (and when my friend told me "aren't you going to miramar?" i forgot i was even going there for dinner!)

on sunday i went to cova for afternoon tea! :D i love the little biscuits and cakes and stuff there but 2 hours was soo short D: afterwards we ended up watching "Hero" (which is a spinoff of the olddd japanese drama with the same name) and then had a quick dinner at ocean terminal afterwards. the movie is good but can be watched on a dvd i think! haha..

and now it's already back to the work week! i can't believe how fast it's going ~_~;; however, i'm definitely thankful for all the sun :D

however, thanks for all your messages and such, I am feeling a ton better!! i love you all :D

some msgs:

Happy birthday Nicole (wifey~~), Kenny, Ray (bro)!!
Happy early birthday to Raven (we will be ok soon!), Mandy (i miss you so much!), and Timmy!

and a random picture of a gift from my darling sis (i made it to look like they were 'welcoming' you to sit at that little table :D):


(i believe she got me the whole set?)

and yet another random thing, a silly RPG spreadsheet 'game' from ray :D thanks bro for the laughs! haha it really brightened my day :P basically you enter two names into this spreadsheet, it calculates random stats (as in an RPG game) and you and the other name "fight". for me, the the funniest part was that it was not only very accurate in the stats (saying i suck in accuracy), but in the 'skills' used. I tried inputing a few names but the funniest is this one..i managed to 'deafeat' someone by biting him to death...

raven~ aww you too? *hugs* i know we will both be okay :D october is ending, your birthday's coming up, and like my dear friend said, the sun will shine again :) I am here for you as well!

mr. tuna~ thanks as always :D you're the best!

silly~ i hope your sis is doing well! it's difficult but everything will be ok.. give her my love and hugs :D

大切な人へ~~

i had a really nice weekend :D it passed by too fast though and i'm sad to think that tomorrow i'll have to face work and finish up the stuff i refused to look at on friday *cry*..

i finally went to the history exhibit at tst that i wanted to go to for the longest time! i'm really happy i got the half year pass with silly as I can go to all those exhibition centers for free :D this year's exhibits were a collection from Britain of items from all over the world. My favorite part was the egypt/rome/greece side as I have a thing for stuff like that. it was so interesting to look at that it took us four hours to go around the two halls and we weren't really finished at the end! we managed to finish in time to view the amazing light show outside at tst harbourside; i have to admit that i've never seen the light show before and it really made me appreciate hong kong a lot more somehow!

i have been feeling really melancholy lately and have been going thru some confusing, emotional times. I realize how thankful i am that i have certain "people" who are looking after me and who care for me unconditionally and genuinely. i love you all! i have not really opened up about myself for the longest time, and i really apologize to all of you for not bringing it up and hiding...

i'm thankful for the time at tst harbourside, for mr. tuna staying up on msn to listen to me and letting me have a chance to open up.

so i dedicate this to you (which i have posted previously):

不變不動不轉的世界
剎那瞬息片刻永遠　用全心記住你的臉
來來回回千萬遍
突然領悟你是如何愛我

一直習慣簡單的　隨心的
放任的自由　不喜歡凍結的酒
不慍不火日復一日無聊的生活

沉默的瞭解的是你的溫柔
不管我錯了　對了　因為你說那就是我

fishie, thank you, especially for the last part. you are definitely someone who i can say is 100% a male version of me! hahaha

current mood: thankful...

ara~ i love you lots XD and miss you! take good care of yourself and don't work too hard ok?

life in hk has been quite normal lately, nothing too out of the ordinary but i've taken the time to take pics of a few gifts i received, and to post pics that i didn't post previously :D
