Happy Birthday to Daddy^^

It's supposed to be the 8 March celebration. ..but since I'm.busy on Sunday..the day of my birthday, I took the kids out a day earlier.

Having lunch @ Seven Springs.

Lunch....a light one for me.

The seasonal fruits....strawberry..that came in all sizes and shapes....on top of desserts.

They enjoyed having lunch here.

Hmm....yogurt....coffee. ..ice cream...

....kids will always be kids...no matter where they were.

Little B'Day Surprise for Eyra

Yesterday, she was making these two cupcakes out of play-doh which for me...was quite amazingly palatable and looks so edible.^^ 

She really has a knack for this kind of delicate-stuff making. A colorfully-designed cupcake. And..while she's busy making this... 

Freya, her sister, was asking me to take her to the store to buy some presents for her sister. She insisted on buying something for her sister..and even..she forced me to wrap the gifts on the spot...not to let her sister know what she'd bought. 

As Eyra was asleep, we decorated the sofa. 

and invite most of her plush-toy friends to the party. 

Happy Birthday, Eyra.

Happy Birthday, Daddy: Gifts from Eyra & Freya

Two days prior to my B'day...Eyra and Freya were hiding in their room..concealing something from me. (I bet they're up for something and I was right.). It turned out that they made these pictures as a B'day present for me. First, this is Freya's drawing. She always imagines 'B'day' as a party having a cake with the invited friends celebrating. and..oh..some presents, too. (But, Dear...would that be necessary for your Daddy?)

What you did is more than enough.  

Then, as I flipped the paper, I noticed another piece of treasure. She jotted down these words. It's simple, yet..I know how much she put her heart into it. 고마워, 프레야. 

Then..I got two other pieces of paper. One from Freya and the colorful one from Eyra. Yup, these are my B'day presents from Eyra and Freya. 

Nothing flashy or fancy about it....but the fact that they DID something for my birthday is beyond words. I love you, too, gils. 

고마워, 프레야..^^                                       고마워, 에이라^^

Surely, it's been such a great gift from both of you. 

Happy Birthday to Me:)

This is supposed to be Biryani rice--Indian-spicy rice--that has been one of my favorites. Of course, it's home-made. The other day, I bought Basmati rice along with one package of instant biryani ingredients. My wife told me that she'd like to make Biryani rice for my birthday. Dada..this is what it looked like. Although, of course, it looked more like nasi goreng (fried rice) than what we'd expected...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ hahaha...but...the taste, scent, aroma makes up for it. Thanks, Ma.

* and..wait...though tempe is not the side dish that usually goes with Biryani....since I am a vegetarian...nothing beats tempe! 

As of today, I am officially 40 y.o. Gosh..now..number 4 stands right in front of my age...whenever I am addressing myself in term of age. ㅋㅋㅋ.

Some say life starts at 40. (Yes...but, what does that mean?)

In Korea some say that age is just a mere number '나이는 숫자에 불과하다'

 (...but, once again...what does that mean?)

What I know is that...I've been doing & experiencing lots of indescribable and invaluable lives with people around me....family, friends, and others. 

and..guess..I am just right here to always thank and thank and...being thankful for what God has given me, personally.

Alhamdulillah. Be thankful always, Suray. 

Why Not?

WHY Not? Yes..why not. After all, it's free. 

A great companion for a movie experience. 

I didn't expect it when I was buying the movie ticket. 

One ticket attendant g presented me with a free coupon for this set of movie companion on my birthday.^^

On what occasion? 생일이야!!!~.~

One of the privileges of being a member of CGV Cinema.

"Thanks CGV" from a movie-freak on his birthday!!!
