Hence, it has been tricky for him to get me anything feminine as he can&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few material things that have a mystical hold on a woman&#8217;s heart. One of them is bags, handbags. We just can&#8217;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 &quot;ooh isn&#8217;t that nice, darling?&quot; and sling that very bag over my shoulder before a mirror. Yang would go &quot;dear, you already have a handbag&#8230;&quot; -_____-<\/p>\n<p>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. :)<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s bible. The latter two were meant for mommy &amp; nana&#8217;s bonding time. :)<\/p>\n<p>I know this sounds shallow but here&#8217;s one happy woman :)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"blog-2010-rivervale-DSC_3001-ling-birthday\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-rivervale-DSC_3001-ling-birthday\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/blog2010rivervaleDSC_3001lingbirthday.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"blog-2010-rivervale-DSC_3007-ling-birthday\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-rivervale-DSC_3007-ling-birthday\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/blog2010rivervaleDSC_3007lingbirthday.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just when I thought that my darling dearest would never get me girlie presents for my birthday, he surprised me tonight.
