I had the blessing of finishing my workday on 23 June with a cheeky 駅ビル, I even got a surprise flower bouquet from my student who is a florist. Then last night we had a boisterous BBQ party on the porch with my housemates and some friends who were able to pop by for the party.
My dear friends (Cho & Cai-chan from China and Taiwan respectively) prepared a lot of tasty food for the party even without me asking. Shin is always ever so helpful in getting the whole BBQ set up organised for us. Jun-san also came by and gave me a super nice box of macarons from patisserie Sadaharu AOKI paris. Looks well posh. Cho-chan also gave me a really lovely box of perfume on top of making really yummy food for me all the time! After she came down, they decided to spring a surprise on me. So there and then, Shin presented me with the "Hana-uta" CD from Hanaregumi! Thank you Shin and Camilla, who are among my best friends here. Sue and Robert also chipped in a yummy blueberry pie as my 'birthday cake' complete with candles and a song! Even Masaki came after completing his school work with a 6 pack of Asahi to get the party even more lubricated. Taro-kun also brought his sweet girlfriend to join us. Williams, the eccentric cleaner/pesudo gramps at our house also gave me a green tea mochi AND a thousand yen as my birthday present. Strange, but I appreciate his thought. haha. It was a really nice night.
Thank you so much. I'm truly moved.
