Gifts & Pao

It is always a breeze by the end of Oct. Somehow time flies even faster by end of Oct till end December.

Oh yes, I mentioned celebrating my birthday ' a couple of times ' ..hehehe with different group of gang. This cake was a surprised gift from the lunch trio gang. I prepared a simple dinner for them at home. We chatted, laughed and the food was swept clean in less than half an hour. hhehehe....

Then, I had another one with close buddies. We had a gathering at a vegetarian restaurant. Nice food really. I even get an early X'mas gift- a beautiful necklace from Pru.

That birthday weekend was spent accompanying MIL to her hometown. On the way back, we stopped by at this Pao Shop. Can you imagine tourists coming in bus loads to this tiny shop just to shop for 'pao'- steamed flour with either pork, ground peanuts, red beans, lotus paste, vege etc as the inti. And have you ever see people purchasing pao like at least 20 buns if not more at one go? We just managed to get the last 15 buns at the end just because we are behind these aunties.....hmmmm, shall I consider us as lucky or what?
