CNY went past in a blink of an eye. Here I am back to work after a long week of holiday. Today is the 9th day of CNY. Looking back I did nothing much during CNY except to attend gatherings and more gatherings. I went back to Ipoh also this year. But the traffic back to KL on the 3rd day of CNY was terrible. We took 4 hours back from Ipoh to KL. The traffic was basically in a crawling stage. But luckily the boys were very obedient, especially Lunz. He sat quietly for 4 hours in the car. But, of course with Baskin Robbin and Dunkin Donuts treats.
Before the CNY, I managed to meet up with my dear sister. We had a good time talking to each other. That silly girl got me a brown bikini from Makati. It looks nice though. ;P
Her flight back to Makati really scare the hell out of me. She told me the plane nearly crashed. It was describe to every single detail on how the plane almost crashed in her blog. But, thank GOD she is fine. I can actually imagine myself in her shoes at that time. What would I think of at that moment if I knew I'm going to die? I would tell myself, this is not the end yet. I have so many things to do, so many things yet to be accomplished. I want to watch Lunz grow. I want to serve my parents. I want to be married to daddy. Other than tears and prayers, trust in faith is so important. I'm glad that she has the courage to face it all because she took the next available flight back immediately right after the accident!
This add another extra point into our lives, to cherish whatever we have because we don't know what will happen next. To all her worries and sadness, may it heal with time. And may Guardian Angel provide her with all the emotional support she needs to go through the hard times. Wishing her a smooth sailing future ahead. Love you, sis.
On another part, I would like to congratulate daddy. He has a new job. It's Manager of the IT Operations in DELL. It's consider a promotion and increment to his career. I believe that GOD has his own arrangement for you. He arrange things but it is up to us to make it happen and to grab the opportunity when it comes. I'm glad you have the courage to take up this new post. It will be a big challenge for you but there is no challenge too great to overcome when you have the will. Do your best and GOD never fail those who put in their efforts. Once again, congratulations! I'm wonderfully and truly happy for you.
Before sis left, she has told me that it's time to consider marriage. She said, what are you still waiting for? You have moved in to stay with him, your son has called him daddy. You have a steady relationship with him. You should make it official.
I told her, I know but I just don't want to rush things. I have tried to rush things and it didn't turned out good. And I even told her, just wait for him to propose first la. She told me, when 2 people has been together for so long, there is no need for proposing. It can be discussed just like that, openly. Because to propose is just another extra step that is not necessary if both are ready. Is that so? A close friend of mine in London has proved it wrong. She told me she has no marriage plan in mind with her 8 year steady boyfriend. She even told me she is comfortable living together with her boyfriend without getting married. But eventually, out of expectation, her boyfriend propose to her recently. She didn't see that coming also. But she was extremely happy when she told me about it and was glad that it happened. So, propose does happen huh even to long-term relationship? :P
To me, I will let things takes it course....
To daddy, don't get me wrong. This post is not to hint anything. It's just merely my own personal thinking and view. But the congratulations wish is sincere! :P

Trip to Sweden
I went to Sweden last month and finally have some time to blog about it now. It's a conference trip. Never in my life have I dream about seeing snow. With this job, I'm able to visit places that previously I can only dream of. This is the most memorable trip of all. It was winter and snow was everywhere. I experienced eating moose and reindeer meat, riding the snowmobile, wearing 3-4 layers of clothing, staying in a temperature of minus degrees and walking in the snow. It was an incredible experience.
View from the plane. Snow was everywhere in Sweden.
Upon landing. Pretty excited to see the snow covered ground. First time in life to see snow, and so much snow.
Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Waiting for transit to Skelleftea.
Finally in Skelleftea. Small town with only 2 streets of shopping. This is the view from our hotel room. Love the snow.
First day to attend the conference. We couldn't find the conference hall and had to spend at least 15 minutes in the cold trying to locate it. Couldn't be any happier when we finally entered the conference hall - got heater le ma.
At the conference venue. The view behind was a river. All frozen and white.
The view outside the campus. See the bridge behind? We crossed the bridge and walked back to our hotel everyday after the conference as there was no bus available in the evening. It's around 10-15 mins walk. At first, it was really difficult to walk under such cold weather, but we got used to it later.
That's the bridge. Love the all white background view. It gets dark early everyday at 3pm.
On the way for factory visit. The snow covered roof reminds me of Hansel and Gretel.
Moose! Got this zoom-in edited version from TheBlueRanger. Picture taken from the bus.
Visit to Svansele Wilderness Centre after the factory visit. Had our dinner there.
Dinner being cooked.
Real life animals - preserved. The owner has a passion for hunting. He has collected most of the animal species that could be found in Sweden.
Our exotic dinner. Moose and reindeer meat! Tasted much like mutton. I forgot to include the trout (fish) in this photo. One of the best fish I have ever tasted!
Famous gingerbread cookie and coffee.
Tried the snowmobile! I can't stop yelling because the driver did not brake when going down the slopes and was so afraid that my hat will fly off. It was freezing cold as well with the wind blowing right at my face.
Finally we have some time to walk around town on the last day of the conference. So, we took some pictures. Me with the snow! The picture shows how happy I am with the snow covered hands as if I've got gold.
The Skelleftea Airport. I'm gonna miss the white scenery.
Last picture of me with the snow and a life Christmas tree before departure.

Lunz at 4 years and 8 months
My baby is certainly growing fast! One good thing about having children is you are able to watch them grow. Watch them as they show you all sorts of silly stuffs that could make you laugh everytime you talked about it or remember it. Kids....they are really really innocent. And they are really really cute as well. If you ever asked me what is the only thing on earth that I never regret about, I would tell you that I never regret having him in my life.
Well, here are some quick updates on my Sebastian at almost 5 years old:
Bedtime
He sleeps by his own now for almost half a year. Of course, I have to be there by his side, just to accompany him to sleep. When he has fallen to sleep, I will move back to my own room. We keep both doors of the rooms open at night. Without fail, he will wake me up every night by calling me at the door. Without fail, I always grab my bolster, pillow and blanket to his room and sleep next to him. It's more like a habit now although daddy has said countless of times that I should train him to go back to sleep by himself. It's so difficult for me to stay awake in the middle of the night just to train him. I did rather sleep together with him. Hahaha...and that's why it's a habit now.
Toilet time
He poo in the toilet bowl now without any support or help...erm....except when he is done with his business. I still need to wash his buttocks and wipe him clean. But anyway it's more convenient than the potty. At least I don't have to flush his shit from the potty which is really gross sometimes. He likes to read when he poo. So, he will tell me to fetch his books for him. Any book to his liking at that moment. It's like ordering your meal in a restaurant. Mummy, take "Minnie's Rainbow" for me or take "Are We There Yet?" for me. He knows the title of his books. We encourage him to read a book during business time earlier for training purpose. To take his mind of the new toilet bowl instead of the potty but it has became much of a habit also now. He also likes to squeeze the toothpaste on to his toothbrush (just for the sake of playing with it) but I am the one who is still brushing his teeth for him.
When he needs to pee at night, he will wake up on his own. Unless he is very very tired, then he will accidentally wet his pants but will still wake up after that because he felt uncomfortable sleeping in a wet pants. He will go to the toilet by his own, switch on the lights, pee and switch off the lights and finally tumble back to his own room to resume his sleep. Of course, he always forgets to flush.
Food
He likes all sorts of junk food like cookies, ice-creams, chocolates and cakes. He still prefers noodle than rice. He is quite picky at his food sometimes. When he saw some vegetables in his noodle, he will tell me he don't want it but occasionally I will force him to swallow it. He takes vegetable sometimes and depending on what type of vegetable. As for fruits, he is still alright with the variety of fruits available but I think he likes those that can go with salt like guava and pineapple for example. He still loves milk a lot and I don't think I will be able to throw away his bottle. Not for the time being. He drinks MILO now as well. Milk intake is still as usual, 3 times a day.
School
He is coping with his school work very well. I can't be any more proud of him. The obvious differences that I saw between last year and this year are his writing and coloring skills. He can write inside the blue line in his exercise books. I mean he doesn't know how to write in the blue line previously and we still have to hold his hand to write last year. Now, all I need to do is just to tell him that he hasn't finish his home work and he will take his home work out from his school bag and his pencil case and started to write immediately. He does every writing on his own now. I don't have to guide and monitor him or even hold his hands.
Even for coloring, he can color inside the picture now. He used to scribble colors on the pictures. I would called it scribble more to color but now he is doing everything properly. For numbers, all he need to do is one look at the picture, he will know how many there are without actually counting one by one. For example, a picture of 8 apples. One look he will know that there are 8 apples without counting the apples from 1 to 8. He even know to draw shapes especially octagon. He is able to draw an octagon with 8 sides. Silly me of course octagon has 8 sides! But he knows an octagon has 8 sides and he is able to draw one. I felt a sense of accomplishment in him. As for daddy, no regret huh for forking out RM300++ per month in average for his school fees.
Others
1. Has his own opinions most of the time. Like the opposition team.
2. Likes to play computer games. Expert in YouTube.
3. Getting cuter because during bath time today, he pinch his own fatty tummy and asked his popo, "What happened?" His popo told him, fei chai lar!
4. Like to bite his nails and peel off the skins around his fingernails.
5. Says uh-oh ki tai yo! when something unexpected happens. Like normally you will say uh-oh, but he add in ki tai yo. Where on earth he learn that from?
6. Take bolsters and beat his daddy at bedtime.
7. Very good at pretending like he accidentally bump his arm, he will say ouch ouch! where in fact it's not painful at all.
8. Like violin a lot. Daddy considers enrolling him in violin classes later because I just found out that 5 year old is too young to learn violin.
9. Did not eat the lunchbox that I packed for him to school everyday. He east the food that the school provide and will only eat from the lunchbox when he reach his popo house everyday. I have stopped giving the lunchbox to him when I found out. He doesn't have to eat from the lunchbox when he's home because he will have proper lunch. Have to monitor his weight remember?
10. Knows more Chinese words than me. *Sigh* How embarrassing!
11. More and more responsive with all sorts of cute and funny actions each day!
His handwriting. Letters written in between the blue lines. That's consider a big improvement to me as I don't need to hold his hands to write anymore and he can write in the lines.
Good job boy!

Home Alone with Lunz Last Weekend
I was home alone with Lunz last weekend. Daddy went for his company's team building trip in Port Dickson and spent a night over there. My initial plan was to go back to mum's house for an overnight stay but after the incident, I decided to spend a peaceful time on myself instead, right here at home.
Saturday (9 January 2010)
I woke up at 6.15am to fetch daddy to his office. He was to assembly at his company by 7am. Initially, he wanted to drive my car and left it there. However, my parents wanted to use it instead. So, no choice, I have to wake up this early to fetch him there. Not only me. I took the little one along. Pity little fella. Half awake and half asleep inside the car. I have to bring him along because I can't be leaving him at home alone while I fetched daddy to his office.
After dropping off daddy, I went back home and washed my pile of working clothes while the little one watched the television. Seeing the weather so nice, I took him to the park after that. I even brought along his new bike for him to ride at the park. But the fat fella got tired so quickly. After some time cycling, he gave up and wanted to play with the slides instead. He asked me to join him but I can't leave the bike by itself (afraid people might steal), I watched him play from a distance.
Soon after we left the park, we headed straight for our breakfast. We had tim sum. And by the time we were done, my aunt called, asking me to accompany her for a shopping trip to get a pressie for my birthday. Realizing I have nothing to do for the day, I agreed. I took Lunz to Jusco Maluri. Most of the time I was with him at the play area and when we were done, he was busy with the V-Tech display set pulak. I let him played for about half an hour. He is pretty good at computer games now a days.
We left Jusco without getting anything. Actually my intention was just to spend some time and not really looking forward to her present. In the end, she gave me an angpow. She told me that with the amount of money she gave, I'm able to buy the winter clothing I need for my trip to Sweden. How sweet of her. I checked the angpow later. Although not really very much, but it's the biggest I ever taken from her. 3 digits. I'm going to get her a good souvenir from my trip later. :)
I came home around 1pm and both Lunz and I had a really good nap from 3pm to 5.30pm. Whole day, I have been 'sms'ing daddy. Really missed him a lot. I really can't figured out what to have for dinner, so, I took Lunz to the nearby Jusco (Jusco again!) and had our dinner in the food court. We went home after a short walk. We spent the evening playing computer games and occasionally watching tv. When I ironed the clothes, Lunz did not disturbed me. He watched tv on his own. When he is with either one of us, he really behaves. Very good boy. But not when both of us are around.
Mum and dad dropped by around 10.30pm to get my car and just to peep if I'm alright. We talked for awhile and then, they left. Mum wanted to stay for the night but knowing her, she can't sleep in bed that doesn't belongs to her. So, I told her I will be fine and not to worry instead. She asked me to give a call if anything happens. Lunz went to bed about 11pm and I talked on the phone with daddy for a short while. According to daddy, he really had a fun and good time with his friends. He got to do a lot of physical activities like treasure hunt, ping pong, swimming, nice dinner with performance from each group, etc. I mean in a way it's really a good time to relax. Good for the body, mind and soul. Don't think my company will ever have such things like that.
And one thing, the theme for his dinner is FLORA. I searched high and low for a suitable shirt that matches the theme for him. Unfortunately, I really can't find one due to the short time. Daddy said, people who doesn't follow the theme will be punished wor. Out of desperation, I made my own tailoring and design. Sherine Chin Couture. And the funny thing is, daddy is really suen (sour) enough to wear it! Thumbs up for him la!

And the funny thing is, daddy is really suen (sour) enough to wear it! Thumbs up for him la!
I cut the flower patterns from a paper bag and stick it one by one on his shirt. It was his idea to cut that 2 big flower shape instead.
See....damn suen la. He purposely stick the 2 flowers on his chest! OMG, of all the place. Hahaha... and he really dares to wear it in front of everybody during the dinner.
His big boss actually asked him, "Are those flowers or tits?" Muahahahaa!!!
He was nominated together with 2 of his colleagues to go on stage to compete for the best dressed by performing cat walk. Unfortunately, he did not get the most best dressed! Which makes me lost another RM100 Parkson cash voucher! Ish..ish...
Even though I wasn't there, I can feel the fun based on what daddy told me. They have plenty of free time, so they actually get to relax and have fun. They get to swim and did their own activities unlike most team buildings are only training intensive.
Most of all, you get free meals, you get to play and enjoy and the most important part, you get goodies! He got a goodie backpack, a miniature toy for Lunz and for me....must highlight the most important benefit of joining this trip. I got FREE CASH VOUCHERS! RM 100 Jusco, RM 100 Parkson and RM 50 IKEA. I can spend like mad already.
Alright! Back to me and Lunz, we had a real good sleep that night until 8.30am on the following day. Without waking up!
Sunday (10 January 2010)
I did some house chores in the morning. Sweep and mop the floor. I even washed the toilets. When I finished, I brought Lunz to IOI Mall. I wanted to get some winter socks from Daiso. Cheap le ma. The quality also not too bad. We had our breakfast there, walked awhile and returned home by 12 something. We stayed at home until daddy called around 2.10pm and told me he will reached an hour later. Since, I still have some time, I prepared my winter clothing for my trip this coming Sunday. I took some of the stuffs out from the wardrobe and tried it on. The little one saw me putting on the hat and the scarf. You know what he said?
Ohhh....it's snowing! (How come he knows that those are for winter use? Hehe.)
I managed to get him to pose for me while I took some pictures of him with the scarf and hat on.
When it was almost time, I brought the little one out and managed to grab ourselves 2 chocotop ice-cream cone from McD drive thru while waiting for daddy's bus to arrive at his company. Daddy reached around 3.15pm and we left for home after that. Even it's just a night, I missed him so much. And that particular night is the longest night ever. Wonder if he feels the same when I leave for Sweden later?

I did some house chores in the morning. Sweep and mop the floor. I even washed the toilets. When I finished, I brought Lunz to IOI Mall. I wanted to get some winter socks from Daiso. Cheap le ma. The quality also not too bad. We had our breakfast there, walked awhile and returned home by 12 something. We stayed at home until daddy called around 2.10pm and told me he will reached an hour later. Since, I still have some time, I prepared my winter clothing for my trip this coming Sunday. I took some of the stuffs out from the wardrobe and tried it on. The little one saw me putting on the hat and the scarf. You know what he said?
Ohhh....it's snowing! (How come he knows that those are for winter use? Hehe.)
I managed to get him to pose for me while I took some pictures of him with the scarf and hat on.
When it was almost time, I brought the little one out and managed to grab ourselves 2 chocotop ice-cream cone from McD drive thru while waiting for daddy's bus to arrive at his company. Daddy reached around 3.15pm and we left for home after that. Even it's just a night, I missed him so much. And that particular night is the longest night ever. Wonder if he feels the same when I leave for Sweden later?

Head Over Heels in Love Again
How is it like to fall head over heels in love with the same person you ever loved? It's like a magical feeling of discovering something familiar back when you thought you have earlier lost it. It's like the same feeling when you have found back your own bunny toy when in earlier days you don't know where in the hell you have chuck it. Seeing the bunny brings back all the same memories and feelings you once had....
Falling in love again with the same person that has been with you for many odd years is not easy. Keeping love alive all the time is not always easy. A couple who has been together for many years for example, like our parents, the thing that keeps them together is responsibility apart from love. In a relationship, love does not exist on its own. How many couples on earth can keep the fire burning between them in years? I would say hardly. It is the understanding and responsibility that keeps a relationship running. Of course, love has to be there. What I am merely speaking here is the spark. Can we keep the spark existing most of the time? It takes a lot of effort from both parties. And like it or not, most of us tend to neglect this point which lead to the shortfall of betraying each other in a relationship. If only we can appreciate each other more and fork out some efforts to keep the spark alive once in a while, we will definitely enjoy a fruitful and long loving relationship.
Mind you, I'm not talking about my relationship here. I have always love daddy and it feels good sometimes to have that little spark burning there. It can be anything. From a dinner together, a movie together, messages, kisses and cuddles when you are half way in a middle of a sleep, little gifts, laughter, surprises and even a fulfilling lovemaking session together. It keeps the love burning and alive for years to come.
"When you thought that you have lost the relationship that you treasured so much, you have changed into someone else. Of course, you are stronger, but that's not the real you. You have let this new person to rule your old self completely. On the surface you might appeared to be strong and hard, but you are empty inside. You behave so because you have lost the love that you once had, you thought you wouldn't be able to find it back again. You were protective of yourself, shielding yourself from getting hurt. This has transformed you into a different person.
But when you have found back the same old love recently after so many years of disappointment, I noticed that there is a change in you. You are back to the old person that I once knew. You are different now. You felt contented. It is that particular love that affects you all this while. I knew it all along and you kept on denying it in the first place because you were unable to face the truth. But I'm proud you are willing to face it now, willing to give it a second try. And you are much happier. I truly hope for the best outcome for you. May you be able to cherish this love that you have been yearning for, all this while, all this long. God bless you"
Now, you know how is it like to fall in love again and again with that same person that you have loved for so long.
Daddy, do you know that I fall in love with you everyday?
Of course, except for the times that you seriously annoyed me. Hehehe....

Big Row With Brother
One good thing about having a blog is that you can pour out everything that's in your mind into the blog without fearing what other people would think, what other people would comment because that's your blog! You are free to write and post whatever you want. You have the right and no one can judge you for that. Having a blog is also a good way of conveying messages that you can't say it face to face with that particular person. You don't have to tell and yet he or she knows because they follows your blog. It's also good for your soul. You can blurt out all your unhappiness when no one is listening to you. At least you wouldn't erupt like the volcano when you keep things buried in your heart. That's some advantages of blogging.
I just wanna say at this very moment I missed my sis in Makati very much. In fact, every moment when I feel like talking to her, I'll miss her. I can't just pick up the phone now and talk to her because she's practically so far away and even if I do, by the time I really let her know what's happening to me, we have to put down the phone already. I mean I wouldn't wanna waste my precious calls just by telling her what had happened to me. So, it's good I can put it down here.
She is always the first person that I can tell her my problems besides daddy. She has with me for over 10 years, know everything about me, understands me and I always felt better after talking to her.
Well, sis. I had a big row with my younger bro just now. What breaks my heart the most is despite my effort to mend the relationships with my brothers, it was not appreciated. These people don't see. So, after this fight onwards, like it or not, I don't want to care anymore about them. I don't want to put anymore effort in these relationships when all you get in return is heartache. Let them zi gei hou chi wai zi. It's useless for me to care about them, to try to be good to them when in fact they never treat me as their sister after all. I just care and be there for my parents, and that's it. All this while, I tried to make my mum happy by being nice to them. But now, I know I can't do it anymore.
Let me just say, if brothers and sisters relationship and love is strong, will they quarrel just because of small matters? For example, my big bro invited us to go to his house for his son's birthday and in the end we wanted to have it celebrated in my mum's house instead and he thought it was my idea and we fight over it. Or another example, when the children fight, I sounded meimei because practically she started the fight, I was scolded for 'ku ng tim ji gei ge chai chow hui gu yan dei ge lui' when all I did as an aunt was just to teach my own niece. I mean what the hell, we are no strangers. We are a family. I teach because I care, not because 'ngor gu ng tim chi gei ge chai' nothing to do 'lei gu lei ge lui'. If brothers and sisters love is strong, we wouldn't even fight over the children. How ridiculous!
It all started with that meimei stepping on lunz's finger while he was trying to wear his shoes. So, I warned her off and this has sparked dislike in my brother. I did not noticed the dislike earlier. I had already left mum's house when I realized I forgot to take Lunz's uniform and headed back up again to take it. I heard him shouting at my mum like a crazy dog from the staircase. I went back inside and asked what was the fight all about. I told the crazy dog nicely, whatever you don't like you talk to me, don't shout at the mother like that. I was shocked when he raised his voice angrily and loud, shouting from beneath his lungs that who am I to scold his daughter!
Crazy dog: Chi gei ge chai dou ku ng tim, chow ng mou ku yan dei ge lui.
Me: I didn't even beat her, I just sounded her only because she started it.
Crazy dog: Lunz started it, you never say anything.
Me: I also scold him what.
Crazy dog: Lunz is naughty to meimei also I never say anything. Why you go and say things now.
Me: I never barred you from scolding Lunz if he is wrong. Children fight kor chow suen ge la. Like this also you want to put it in your heart.
Crazy dog: You also know how to say la, children fight, then why you go and scold my daughter!
NGOR CHAR DOU....
Me: I scold because I care as an aunt.
Crazy dog: No, thank you! Lei ku tim chi gei ge chai sin le! The daughter is mine, none of your business.
Me: Don't you dare shout at your mother like that again.
Crazy dog: The mother is also mine. You don't have to teach me what to do (As if saying, the mother is mine also, I have the right to scold as when and where I want)
Mum kept pushing me to leave. The fella has gone crazy. He was shouting most of the time. I can't stand him, I shouted back at him also. He nearly want to hit me when I was standing right in front of him. I told myself at that time, you lay your hands on me and that's it. I will make police report and that's the end of our relationship! But he managed to hold back. In the end, I left because mum kept on pushing me to the front door. But when I was going down the staircase, I can still hear his voice. What he said to my mum, I don't really know. But I think he dare not hit her because I knew my mum will do something if he did. She isn't a person that will keep quiet.
Blardy hell...this kind of people is so heartless. With his manners, he never respect and treat me as his older sister. So, that's it. I don't want to waste my energy on these people anymore.
Daddy has brought up the idea to let Lunz stay in childcare until I picked him up after work. In short, don't let my mum babysit him anymore. Less encounter, less the quarrel. I'm still considering. I even asked daddy to look after lunz at night while I'm in Sweden, don't let him stay behind with my mum because I'm afraid what the crazy dog might do later if the children fights again. I was helpless that I can't do much for mum and dad. I told daddy, I can't go back in the circle anymore, and if you also don't care for me, there is no where I can head to....

My Very Very Early Birthday Celebration
Happy New Year!!
To make the New Year celebration a lot more merrier, I decided to celebrate my birthday on 03.01.10, which is today. In fact, I just got home from mum's place. Had a huge dinner there plus a cake blowing session. Wow....erm....well, the actual fact is I didn't really wanted to celebrate my birthday this early. Everybody is practically busy next weekend. Daddy has to attend his company's team building in Port Dickson and mum has to attend a wedding dinner. The following week I'm off to Sweden. Gonna spend my birthday there......in the cold.....grrrr........alone.....woo, woo, woo......*sigh*
Work is work, but if you ask me I did prefer to stay cozy at home and celebrate my birthday with my loved ones. Here are some of the pictures of today's dinner:
Everybody is busy setting up the table for dinner.
Good ol' dad spring cleaning his documents.
They were imitating the actors' action in the CNY video
Daddy took his place, ready to attack the food!
Mum's latest grand-daughter.
My Secret Recipe cake from daddy.
Lunz was so busy with the cake.
More like his birthday than mine.
Cake cutting.
Enjoying his piece. Happily finishing the chocolate topping.
My beloved parents...
