Surprised

A colleague surprised me with a belated birthday present. It was really unexpected and I was really touched. Apparently she had it with her for a while, but we kept missing each other because of our busy schedules. Thank you! It is really sweet of you, Monica. :)

Unforgettable Cavalia

I got my girls and myself a special treat - to watch Cavalia! 
Cavalia is a Children's Day present for the girls, a post-PSLE reward for Marieann and a de-stressing treat for myself. However, Marieann was running a low-grade fever. :( I decided to let her rest and it was just Juliane and I going to the show tonight.
We arrived just before 7pm, took a few photos and launched straight into shopping of Cavalia merchandise before our show at 7:30pm haha. :P 

Just before we entered the big tent for the Cavalia show

From the moment Cavalia started till it ended, it was pure magic! :) The acrobatics, the aerial stunts, the music, the horses all integrated seamlessly together to bring forth a breathtakingly beautiful, haunting, and dreamlike show. My jaws dropped in awe when the horses first appeared. They are so beautiful! :) 

Show about to start soon :)

The end of the show. No photography during the show.

Beautiful photos of horses surrounding the big tent

I went a little crazy with my shopping haha. Spent about S$250 :P

I definitely won't forget Cavalia anytime soon. In fact, it brought back my childhood memories of circus and animals and also my first horse ride. :) I thought I enjoyed Cavalia a lot more than Juliane did lol. I doubt the children nowadays know how to appreciate such shows. 
PS. I also had a pleasant surprise at Cavalia, I met my friend and former colleague, Yee Zher and his lovely family. His son is 

Offer

The girls' father offered to get me a new camera. Hmm, I am wondering if he means for the new camera to be my birthday present. Lol.

I want a Canon IXUS 1000 HS. :)
