Today is my Chinese birthday. The sixth day of the eighth lunar month. How time flies... I usually feel extremely old on this very day! *sob sob*. My "English" birthday falls on 2 Sept but it's within 100days from mum's passing so I only had dinner gathering with my 3 siblings and their family on that Sunday. Rina strictly reminded all of us that there must be no celebrations (of any sort) during the 100 days. However, she's kind enough to get me a mango cake from Baker's Inn on 2 Sept but because cannot celebrate so no birthday song for me.=(
My family and I were at Vivo City last night. Walked past the Chocolate Art shop. Saw the mouth drooling Choc Truffle cake and I decided to buy it for my Chinese birthday since it falls after the '100 days'. Thought it's quite cheap - $20! and it's really yummi-delicious. Celebrated my birthday with KengYong and Gregory last night. Gregory was the most excited. He volunteered to help me put the candle into the cake while hubby and I went to look for matchsticks/ lighter in the kitchen. When we returned, Greg said to me proudly, "Mummy, I put your candle into the cake already you know". Both hubby and I were stunned! Look at the picture below and you will understand why we had a shock when we saw how the candle was stuck into the cake. I guess he must have used a lot of strength to squeeze the candle down into the mousse cake!
Dunno whether to laugh or to be annoyed. Hubby pulled out the candle and lots of chocolate were stuck to the candle. We had to wash and dry it. I guess gota get Greg practise putting candles into the cake more often next time! Ha!
Greg was so happy. He sang me birthday songs (both in English and Mandarin) while clapping his hands. Very sweet of him. I do feel very blessed to have this son. He even asked if he could blow my candle and cut the cake for me. Heehee... as if it's his birthday.
Greg loves to eat cakes. Or rather, he loves anything that tastes sweet. Look at how he enjoyed the cake last night.. I felt happy that night. *Happy Birthday Marina*

Hi Mummy Barney

Hi Teacher Maeve
It's sad that Greg's going to stop Shichida soon. KengYong and I have made this decision because we believe Greg will have a lot of adjustments to make when his little brother arrives. However, I believe Greg will miss you and your class on Sunday too. Do drop by my blog more often as I would definitely give an update on Greg.. do you have a blog too?
