I have a very cute and sweet girlfriend. Not long after we started going out, during my birthday month, I sent her home after one of our dates. When we reached her house, she asked me to wait at the gate and then disappeared into the house. She appeared a few minutes later holding a tiramisu cake that she made herself wrapped in aluminum foil. 'Happy birthday!' she said as she passed the cake to me. Wow. Nobody has made any birthday cakes for me before, and this was real thoughtful of her to give me such a gift. It's simple but very sweet (pun intended, hahaha)! Honestly, I like it a lot.

A few months later, she flew to Shanghai for her GIP attachment. She made me something before she left, but as she couldn't finish it on time, she asked me whether will I accept a gift that is 70% ready. Well I said of course, but I still didnt recieve anything because she couldn't finish up to 70% yet. Therefore, she had to bring the whole gift to China to continue making it, and then find ways to sent it back. Luckily a friend of ours who was there for attachment came back to SG for Chinese New Year celebration, and she was able to pass it to him to bring it back. That's not the end of the story though. The gift wasnt complete when I recieved it and it was sealed in such a way that I couldnt open it. I had to pass my gift to her friend who will bring it to a shop to add the finishing touches on it. And then I finally recieved the present about 2 weeks ago.


This cushion went from AMK to East Coast to China and back to Singapore, then to Boon Lay to my hands temporarily, then to City Hall to Pasir Ris to Bugis and finally back to my hands! She had to went through all the trouble of making it (this was her 1st time sewing), and also to coordinate the 'gift passing' process and at the same time keep me from guessing what is it! Needless to say, I like it alot!
