Gonnie’s Birthday Celebration

-

I had asked Gonnie to arrange a date last week, so that we could celebrate his birthday in advance. The advance birthday celebration was also my way of saying thanks to him for attending my birthday celebration last month & treating me to lunch for my birthday.

Chloe managed to get Lance & Kianhow to join us at Marche @ 313 Somerset last night. She said that the 3 of us are regarded by him as his best friends. I am touched by it, considering the fact that I know him for only about a year. I guess as compared to Lance & KH, my friendship with him was the shortest.

I was tasked to get his birthday cake. Fortunately, after asking one of my gal friends, Evelyn,  who got my cake from 313 Somerset’s The Icing Room for my birthday, I knew where I was heading to get the cake. Initially, I had thought of creating a cake, but after much thought, Chloe & I decided against it as my art and craft sucks big time & we do not have the time to rush down from our work place to create a cake.

The dinner was a good one and I appreciate Chloe & Gonnie’s concern after reading my blog and finding out that I had been feeling down due to friendship issues and my liking of a gal, but she had rejected me. Thanks for being the listening ear as I share the story and giving me your support and advice.

After the dinner, I shared a cab with Chloe & Gonnie as we head back home.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
