I think people usually  give chocolate truffles when they don’t know what to send. So, I picked chocolate truffle as my gift to Alice. The one who gives a present to me, give me a cup because he thinks a cup means a lifetime in Chinese. However, I found this cup is broken when delivery man give it to me and I need maintenance worker to fix it for me.

Correction –

I think people tend to give chocolate truffles when they have no idea what to send. So, I picked chocolate truffles as my gift to Alice. I received a cup from my secret santa because he thinks cup, means a lifetime together in Chinese. However, I found this cup is broken when the delivery man gave it to me and I needed a repairman to fix it for me. My secret Santa also gave me a pair of leather shoes and they require some maintenance if I want them to look new.
