Night Out in Stockholm: Eat, Drink, Bowl
First night of Markus visiting us in Stockholm! As the evening went, the rain got heavier while we walked in the open, windy and rainy town, from one spot to another. First stop, meeting the trio, +Kenneth Loke, Jonas and Markus at Restaurang Jonas. We took a cab from where we were to Stockholm's first(?) food court that looks pretty much like a smaller...

Cold Dinner, Warm Gesture

Last Minute Christmas Shopping in Stockholm

Home Care and Chinese Winter Solstice

Dinner at Restaurang Jonas
My dinner dates tonight are A.C and her mom! It is also the last night for quite a few crews in the restaurant. A.C went teary towards the end of our dinner, as she grown rather close and fond with all of them! Since this is the first time meeting them, I've only felt it was a shame I haven't met them earlier. They were a bunch of nice, sweet folks, really. Be...

Dried fast, continued shopping and when home, I just added some nail jewels and top coat. Done! This week's manicure, albeit a little messy and I doubt it will last (thin coat)...
