Happy birthday to my wonderful Twinkle

This blog is especially dedicated to my beloved twinkle. She is 6th years old today. I know jolly well that she cant read this blog, but i am sure that if her ex-owners, Jude & Louise are reading this blog entry. They will be very proud of her , as much as we are. And thank GOD for Sister Louise who graciously give her beloved Twinkle to us three years ago

A dog is indeed man best friend. But our twinkle meant more than just our best friend. She is part of us. Alto, she is quite "notorious known" in our neighbourhood for being a fierce dog. But her alertness and incessant barking recently help to drive away some thieves at my neighbourhood. Therefore, we cant help but to feel proud of our twinkle. KW and myself recently bump into our neighbour at the lift and he warned us to keep our door at lock cos' he was reviewing his videocam and saw two thieves trying to break into our house a few weeks ago. He told us that it was our twinkle barking whom drive them away. For those bad thieves out there, if you want to try to break in to our house again, u better think twice for her bark is worse than her bite. (In that literal sense)

Anyway, coming back to her birthday. Even though Twinkle is just a dog. And some of my friends just cant comprehend why she would need such a lavish birthday celebration. Well, to us, she meant more than just a dog. She is our loyal and faithful friend. She just deserved all the love and attention on her. And thanks to Louise for not forgetting her birthday year after year, Thanks for the treats that you have splurge on her. And most importantly, thanks for giving twinkle to us. We always remember you and Jude kindness especially on Twinkle birthday :)

A gift that warms my heart

Recently, i rec'd some Godiva Chocolates from my best friend - KL. She told me she has read my blog and saw that someone give me Godiva Chocolates during my birthday and so happen that she has some friends in USA and got them to get some for me too. It's such a sweet and heart warming gesture of her. Recently i m undergoing some stress at work and her gesture of thoughtfulness really warms my heart :), Thanks so much, my dearest and best friend, once again.

The start of the new year - 2008 with mum birthday celebration

I find it very amused that we always celebrate my mum birthday based on the chinese lunar calendar. And because of that, i always cant keep track when is her actual birth date on the calendar. Only know that it falls in the month of Jan. Whatever, the case, i thanks GOD for such a wonderful mother and it is always a blessing that we can start the new year with such a warm family gathering to celebrate mum birthday. :)

It's mum 71st birthday this year and i proposed having jap food. Cos ' it's our family favourite food. I picked the place - Kyoto Sabo Aiji Tei. It is the other dinning concert of the very famous Aijisen. It was a right choice cos we are spoilt for choice with the many variety of appetitizer and dessert available. And it is really economical too. We can order many different appetitizer to share, that is the benefit of dinning as a family. Anyway, i really think the kama is value for money. For those who love fish (i only start to appreciate fish since i started my special diet), There is a promotion currently, for every set menu, you get the kama for half prize. And usually, i thought such servings would be short change. But to my surprise, the kama is really big and meaty. Really thumbs up.

And of course, i order a birthday durian cake for her. It's our family favourite fruit. I chanced upon this from the variety show at channel 8. And they recommended this durian place - 717 trading. I am not a durian fan but the cake really looks good and taste heavenly. I heard from my mum that the whole family love the durian cake very much.

Last but not least, i thank mum for her patience and gentleness in raising me up and shower me with love. She is really an awesome mother. Alto, there are times when i give her nonsense, she will always be that same caring and understanding mum to me. Therefore, i want to wish her Good Health, Happiness and Joy in life and May she continue to seek GOD and stay Forever Young :)
