Birthday Celebration for Chui Harn

-

The celebration was planned about a week before the birthday gal’s birthday, but in the end, the place that we wanted to go was shot down as the birthday gal was sick. In the end, Cynthia & I asked her to decide between Swensens & other places at Nex. In the end, Swensens was chosen by the birthday gal.

I decided to play Santa Claus in the festive mood of giving and sharing, since it was still within the 12 days of Christmas and Cynthia & I decided among ourselves that we would buy the Chui Harn a birthday cake as our birthday gift for her, since we thought she would have everything that she wanted already.

The gals decided to follow suit and do a belated Christmas gift exchange instead. My gift for the ladies was Ferraro Rocher Chocolates, while the ladies gave me these:-

IPhone Dock from Chui Harn – Since I am not an IPhone user, I will use the dock as a name card holder instead. =)

Our birthday cake surprise for Chui Harn, The Swensens Special – It was spoiled by the waitress who served us as she revealed the surprise to her by asking me directly in full view of the birthday gal. Service at Swensens needs to be bucked up. This is very poor customer service.

The birthday gal with Cynthia, it is a surprise that they only met at my birthday ktv and were able to click so well at the initial and 2nd meeting =)

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.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting.

House Visiting & AVietnamese Girlfriend For Me??

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...
