I wouldn’t miss it for the world because

1. My kids get to tear around the garden and the yard with their aunties and uncles of similar ages. I am too old to do the “let’s see how many lanterns we can burn” stunt.

2. I get to be called ‘fat’ relentlessly and mercilessly which happens in every family outing - while my mother piles on more food on my plate.

3. It’s a combined birthday celebration for my dad and Gean.

This is my one and only brother. He is as retarded as he looks. And no, it does not run in the family.

This is my mama. Her hair is messed up by the useless fan which did nothing to alleviate the heat.

This is my dad and my two offsprings. BTW, my new nerd image - “teacherish”?

With an uncle like that, who needs enemies? LOL

Two candles - one for meimei, one for gong gong
