We had our first birthday celebration in our flat yesterday (since we missed all the October babies, all 3 of 'em). It was quite fun - more than expected. Altho it was done pretty last minute, we enjoyed the "cloak and dagger" and cover-up as we tried to keep it a surprise. In the end, Wei looked genuinely touched (and was he wiping away tears from his eyes on a few occasions?), we had great fun and enjoyed ourselves chatting - and guessing each other's age (guess who's the oldest here?) and eating a pretty good choc cake!
Top to bottom, left to right - 27 candles (actually, he's 26 but the Chinese always count one year ahead), Wei blowing out the candles (he needed help in the end!!!), Wei removing the candles, Wei cutting the cake, close-up of the cake, everyone enjoying their cake - except Michael who is fasting til Christmas!
p/s - to the Uni authorities who may stumble upon this blog, altho the pics looks like they were taken in the flats, in actual fact, they are taken ina place which looks like the flats but IS NOT the flats. After all, we wouldn't dare light candles in the flats would we? We are the matured rule-abiding post-graduate, exemplary students!!!!
