Full moon is the first month after the birth of a child. During this time, Chinese parents often celebrate with a dinner or a party. It is a customary practice for the Chinese to buy a full moon gift for the baby. My cousin’s baby is due this October and my mom was telling me that a few of my cousins are planning to buy a gift for her baby. They have been looking around for a nice gift when one of them suggested to buy a gold bullion gift. There is no better gift than a gift of gold because it is a unique investment.

My aunt who is back here for a holiday will be leaving for New York this Sunday. It has been a month since she came back for a visit. About two weeks ago, her daughters and other relatives celebrated her 75th birthday in Ipoh. They organized a steamboat dinner for her and one of her daughters baked her cake. It was a simple but fun celebration. Her other daughter whom my aunt stays with in New York called to wish her mom Happy Birthday. She even told her sisters that she had bought a gold American Eagle coin from USGoldBureau.com for her mom as a birthday present. The gold coin is made of pure gold and is scratch-resistant. These gold coins are a very popular type of investment. I am sure my aunt will be thrilled when she receives her present.

My aunt who is residing in New York just returned for a vacation yesterday. My cousin (her daughter) loves to buy things for Ashley and this time, she got her mom to bring back these for my missy -

A pair of sweet Laura Ashley sandals
and

A pair of Disney Princess sneakers
Nice huh? Ashley just adore the shoes, especially the Disney Princess sneakers which lights up.

I won’t be surprised that Ashley would turn out to be a shoeholic like her mom

My dear friend, Jen Cheung from Toronto sent these cute key chains to me and Ashley for Christmas. She handmade those colourful ‘mini pillows’. Isn’t she creative? For your information, Jen and I have never met. She is another good friend whom I met online. Like I’ve always said….I am so lucky to have met so many wonderful friends through blogging. Besides great friendship, they have been showering me and Ashley with lots of gifts. We are really blessed.

Do check out Jen’s blog whenever you have the time. This pretty girl also has a great passion for food and she has created a food blog called Passion4Food. Boy, those food featured in her blog sure makes me hungry. Some of the places she eats in Toronto brings back fond memories of the time when I was staying in there. Thank you very much again Jen for the lovely key chains. You are so thoughtful

At around 4pm, a delivery man came with a present for me. I was delighted to see what he was holding – A big basket of fruit and flowers. When I opened the card to read who sent me the beautiful gift, I was so surprised and wanted to cry. They are from friends all over the world. These wonderful ladies are friends whom I met online. THANK YOU SO MUCH Jan, Lina, Macy, Yvonne, Shirley, Chu Yee, Julie, Jen, Charmaine & Alice! Besides Yvonne, I have never met any of these lovely ladies. Can you believe this? I am so blessed to have ‘met’ so many wonderful friends through blogging. Thank you so much for your friendship. It was truly a wonderful day which I will remember always.

On Sunday, my lovely friend asked me if I would like to join her for lunch. I quickly said yes and she was so nice to come all the way to pick me and Ashley up. Hubs was out of town over the weekend. It was wonderful to meet up with her and we had a yummy lunch. Wish we could chat longer but the kids were running around the eatery, which means they were pretty restless so we decided to leave. As soon as she dropped me off, she took out a bag and handed it to me. It’s my birthday pressie !!!! I was so surprised and touched. Not only did she treated us to lunch, she has something for me…oh..and Ashley too

My gift

A beautiful brown bag which I simply adore. I love the colour and the design. It has a silver buckle at the side. How lovely!

Ashley’s present – A cute pair of pink hairclips.
Thank you very much for the lovely gifts, my friend. You know who you are
What a great way to celebrate my 30th birthday
hahahahahhahahahahahahahaha
