100 Days of Happiness – Day 99

100 Days of Happiness – Day 93
Although I was awake with Samudra so early today, I tried to stall getting out of bed for as long as possible as I had it in my head that I wanted to take him to Ragunan Zoo for a change of scenery, but remembered that it wouldn’t open until 9.00am. I figured by the time […] Read more »
