He is European, I am Asian.

Whenever he skips lunch to drive our kid or me to hospitals or parties, etc. I would pack him food which he can eat in the office when he gets back. One time I packed him noodles and included wooden chopsticks. Guess what? His officemates teased him that I forced him to use chopsticks instead of fork. Yada! I’m not Chinese, I eat with spoon and fork. The irony is, he’s the one who taught me to use the sticks.

Anyway, I bought some colorful chopsticks couple of weeks ago while shopping. Haven’t got the chance to use this yet. I wonder what his office mates will say when they see this:

Weekend drifted quickly. We weren’t even able to do some serious shopping except for this week’s food supply. Nonetheless, I was able to pick what would be a fun game to play in beaches or any wide open spaces; flying discs! Summer is fast approaching and beaches will be the famous hang-out, I took the chance to grab few pieces.

For only a little over $1 USD, kids and adults will have a grand time running and catching these flying discs. It’ll be a good exercise for the limbs too. Get one for yourself or your kids! It’s a cheap way of having fun!
