Selene's SURPRISE..

Just us, originally uploaded by candishhh.

Chris has been planning this since the start of the new year. He forwarded me an email on his plan to have a surprise party for Selene on the 14th. He's already sorted everything out and asked if I could help him with the decorations. I willingly said yes! OF course, ANYTHING for Selene.

Here are some of the pictures that were taken by Chris' spanking new Sony camera that he got in Japan (super cool!! touch screen man!!)

Thanks Chris!! Thanks for the surprise.. It was ALL YOU... ALL YOU!!

To Selene - Happy Happy Happy Birthday my dear friend! I love you to bits, and I'm so glad that you're super happy now. (Trying hard not to cry!! hahaha...)

From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a ...

The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.
