SL's birthday eve
Time is ticking fast, SL's birthday is coming soon, just within 3 hours, I got some friends recommended on a cake shop in US, to be specific, it is an ice cream cake shop, they said it is heaven :P After checking online, SL found there are three famous ice cream/ice cream cake shops in US, which are Baskin Robin, Dairy Queen and Cold Stone. Among three, Cold Stone is the most expensive as they claim that their ice cream is daily fresh prepare. For sure, I would like to have a try.
From the Cold Stone website, we found that they provide a free scope of ice cream for the birthday guy and there also will be USD3 off on a birthday cake purchase, if we provided the printed voucher to the shopkeeper.
After work on today, SL and I just headed directly to Cold Stone Creamery in Tanasbourne, which is near to the Safeway, for our free scoop annd birthday cake. Finally, we got Peanut Butter Playground for SL's birthday cake, we also got a free scoop of Cold Stone ice cream. The most special thing I saw in the shop was the server got a scoop of ice cream and "fried" it on the chopper, then "fried" it together with the mix. Well, he didn't really fry, but his action was similar with frying. It was wonderful, Cold Stone ice cream is really tasted good.
Now, we turned to SL's birthday gift. Actually, I found SL is really nice on photograhpy, that he knows which angle for the best capture, he knows which picture is the best, also he likes to do research on new thing, therefore I decided to buy him a DSLR camera as his birthday gift, I think this is the most expensive birthday gift that I ever bought. We got the package from Best Buy, which is included a Nikon D5000 DSLR camera, two lens (18mm to 55mm and 55mm to 200mm) and a camera bag. After all, we think this is a valuable package. Though it is not cheap, SL likes it and always plays with it, he keeps doing research on the lenses and camera function, I think he will be a professional in one day.
And now, we are waiting for 12am of US time, when the date turns 20th Jan, then we can have birthday celebration with open ceremony for the birthday cake :D
