Ace's 12th Birthday Celebration

Ace is 12!

This year I guess to me is a special year.

I always thought that I only need to be responsible for my son till he turns 12.. now he is 12, he can start to learn to be responsible for himself!:)

Another special thing is the number 12 is special because it signifies and end of the first cycle of your life. And there are lots of big lessons you can learn from this year or conclude in this year which I feel will impact a child's life into the future. I am working hard to ensure that he will see and learn from me...  how to be a better person, a happier person who loves himself and herself and how to be a humane person that helps others.

Anyway, his birthday celebration is kept simple and minimal. For me, June has always been a month of blessings. It is the month I got attached to Max. It is the month we got married. It is also the month our son is born.

This year, due to some personal challenges at the backend for me, I am really glad that that there is the reminder of Ace's birth that I can be thankful for and that there are things worth celebrating still. :) He is the gift from heaven that I will always treasure.

Anyway, his birthday celebration started one week early with Annie godma bringing him out for a Jap lunch:)

Then we took a bus to Kino and he was given $100 budget to buy any book he likes. Mr Calculative hor, even calculated in the 20% discount his godma will get because of her membership there... Bought $99.10 worth of stuff lor... Godma gave one more ang pow to me too.. shi shang zhi you godma hao..

He and his stash of comics Godma Annie bought for him:) Haha..

NExt two weeks his tuition teacher told me he diam diam buy unhealthy sweet foods to eat at tuition. He said he used the ang pow money gong gong gave him for birthday because Gonggong passe dhim the ang pow with the "instruction" "哪去买东西吃“... LOL
