Presents!

Pierre and Ming spoil me sometimes. They buy me a lot of nice things. I almost feel like a mistress to them. It's funny though... Ming scolds me every day for spoiling Princess. Like he never gets over my Shoe Shop Surprise or the Birthday Surprise I gave her but in return... he spoils me.... his business partner.
Ming was down just last Friday in the Nuffnang KL office to brief everyone (well almost everyone) about a very big Nuffnang event coming up in the next few months.

It's the biggest thing we have ever done. I'll give you a hint... it involves bloggers from all over the region and it's going to be held in Singapore.

While he was down, he also brought me a little present he got for me when he was in Moscow a few weeks ago for a friend's wedding.

He bought me this hand painted Russian doll. I can't remember what it's specifically called but you know it's the thing where it starts with a big doll and when you open it up there's a smaller one and inside that another smaller one and it goes on and on.

Here's the one he bought me.

Guess who!
And inside him....

Guess who....
and inside him...

Guess who!!!
and inside Mr Clinton...

Guess who!
and the tiniest of all...
Guess who!
Cute huh? I've placed them all on my table in the office now.

Right after Ming gave me the cute little present, Pierre showed up and gave me a present from him too: Another Manchester United jersey... Ming already gave me one a few months ago.

The two Manchester United fans have been trying very very hard to convert me to a fan as well. Ish... GOLDFINGER..... SAVE ME FROM THEIR GRASP!!!

At the back of the jersey, it wrote this.

I'll leave it to one of you guys out there to tell everyone else what Jipaban means in Hokkien.

Thank you Ming and Pierre. You both spoil me!

To add to that, GAP is going to spoil me too. Well... this weekend to be exact.

I'm not going to say exactly what because I don't want to spoil the surprise but this video is a bit of a hint. Will blog about the experience when the time comes.

Oh and guess what guys. I'm going to Melbourne next week to catch up with our Nuffnang Australia team at our office in Melbourne. I'm bringing Princess along with me too. Couldn't bear the thought of her having to spend Merdeka weekend alone.

So next week... it going to be a great week. I hope.
