A Special Day

10 December..... A Special Day......

1) It's my birthday!!!

I received cards from Singapore, from my family and Mumbo, a book from Kellyn mummy and MP, a card from Xiao Quan, a call from Jin and lots of well wishes on facebook. Like I said, 我好幸福。Oh... and I'm still waiting for my twin's present to arrive. She says it's on the way. She stayed up till 2am in the morning in Australia to be the 1st to wish me Happy Birthday on FB and dedicated a post on her blog just for me! Thank you for all the love! I am truly very blessed.

It's not the 1st time celebrating my birthday in Japan. In 2007, when I was on the SSEAYP program, I celebrated my birthday in Japan on Nppon Maru with many friends. I thought this year there will be no celebration, cos I have only been here for 4 months. I went for Bonenkai with the first grade teachers and I was pleasently surprised that they bought cakes (3 small beauiful, delicious roll cakes) to celebrate my birthday. I am a lucky girl.

2) It's my godson birthday too!!!

I was talking to Shan about 1 week ago and she was telling me when she will be dued. I told her maybe the bb will have the same birthday as me. She said she wants to attend campfire first. Well... apparently, my godson agreed with me and he wants to share the same birthday as me! *High 5* 好奇妙。。。I hope the mummy is feeling ok and will recover soon. Mummies are so 伟大！Shan, you did it! I'm so proud of you!

"I shy leh...Don't keep looking at me..."
Isn't he sweet? He wants to share my birthday...

 3) It's the 1st day of Camp Mumbo

Camp Mumbo holds a very important position in my heart. It is what I looked forward to every Dec since I was 6 years old. Today is the 1st day of camp and there are 140 kids!!! All time highest!!! It feels great that there are younger people who are now taking over the organisation of the camp and they too share my passion for the camp and the Mumbo spirit will continue to burn. It just show how wonderful this camp is. I feel like shouting the cheers with them now. Mumbo OEI!
