Happy Lunar Birthday!

It's Gary's birthday today but being one day before the Dragon Boat Festival, today sees the traditional family celebration of my lunar birthday. No confetti, no festoons, only a simple ritual of making birthday wishes, blowing out candles and eating hard-boiled eggs, seasoned with the indulgence in Hagen-Daz afterwards with my sister at Raffles City Shopping Centre. I'm satisfied nonetheless. Thanks to my third aunt for defraying the cost of my Mango Delight cake and handling me a big Ang Pow of $50!
