We had a great time chatting and viewing my wedding & holiday pictures together =) And actually Rie-chan was suppose to turn up too but last min she couldn't make it as she told me that she had rashes over her body and was afraid that it may spread, so did not turn up. I hope to organise another such session with Rie-Chan before she return back to Japan for good. Hope she get well soon too.
Thanks both Iku-chan and her husband for the great time spend together on 2008 National Day =)
