Stay Over
We went out with Hiong to the Mooncake Fair at the basement of Takashimaya. Sad to say nothing interest me there... I guess I still prefer the mooncakes at Dai Zhong Kok in Chinatown. Not only it is cheaper than most places, the Ham and Bacon mooncake tasted better, more fragrant with each bite taken.
And even the Kwok family who were disillusioned with Snow Skin mooncakes, said that the Chinatown Dai Zhong Kok Snow Skin was good. Louye, Gu Chays' eyes sparkled when they took a bite, it was the same taste they had 20+ years ago.
Didnt feel too good, ended up didnt join Ghimbo and Aunt for the Food Fair at Suntec. We had a quick shopping for the night's dinner and went back to my place immediately.
I rested in bed while the guys prepared the food for our steamboat dinner. It was nice and it was fun. Great enjoyment to eat together and chatted and laughed. Louye sent ZH home just after we had our dinner. Such nice timing. :)
ZH was so notty, cannot get him to sleep though he was tired and rubbing his eyes away. Hiong decided to stay over for the night and when we played Upwords, ZH wanted to join in too. Messed up our board game a couple of times. :p

Dardar Birthday Lunch
Celebrations again! This time is for Dardar's incoming birthday. We had Dim Sum lunch at Yan Palace. Yummy yummy! Seems like a long time?
Gu Chays kept asking me to order but we ordered so much that I didnt know if we will be able to finish. I think we ordered 3 rounds? At the end of the lunch, I did not think I will be able to eat another bite. Haha...
After the lunch, we went to our favourite Chinese Medical Shop where Louye bought expensive herbs. Such a small bunch of Cordyceps costed SGD 450.00! And Louye bought the bigger and more expensive ones! (0.0)

1st Birthday
The day my notty boy turned 1... The birthday cake was bought for him by his doting Soksok. His clothe was bought for him by his loving Yeye.
In celebration of his birthday, his 5th Great-grandaunt even bought roasted pork and duck. Hehe... Dad and Soksok were so jealous... Why only ZH have? :p

Love
If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you,
Be gentle with yourself.
There is nothing wrong with you.
Love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart.
If you find someone else in love with you and you don't love him/her,
Feel honored that love came and called at your door,
But gently refuse the gift you cannot return.
Do not take advantage. Do not cause pain.
How you deal with love is how you deal with you,
And all our hearts feel the same pains and joys,
Even if our lives and ways are different.
If you fall in love with someone,
He/she falls in love with you and then love chooses to leave,
Do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame, let it go.
There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know in time.
Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you.
All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery.
When it comes into your life.
Feel the way it fills you to overflowing,
Then reach out and give it away.
Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you.
Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit.
Give it to the world around you in any way you can...
There is where many lovers go wrong.
Having been so long without love,
They understand love only as a need.
They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love,
And they begin to look at love as something that flows to them,
Rather than from them.
The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing,
But as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need.
They cease to be someone who generates love
And instead become someone who seeks love.
They forget that the secret of love is that it is a gift,
And that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.
Remember this, and keep it to your heart.
Love has its own time, its own seasons,
And its own reason for coming and going.
You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into saying.
You can only embrace it when it arrives
And give it away when it comes to you.
But if it chooses to leave from your heart
Or from the heart of your lover,
There is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do.
Love always has been and always will be a mystery.
Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.
IF YOU KEEP YOUR HEART OPEN, IT WILL COME AGAIN.
