30 plus 4 plus 1 candles

This year’s birthday celebration was quite unique. The boys insisted on having their mini birthday cakes to celebrate my birthday. We ended up with 2 mini cakes and 1 normal cake. It was fun blowing out the candles on the birthday cakes and having to sing Happy birthday 6 times- Ryan insisted on singing both in English and Mandarin for all of us. It seems that the 3 cake birthday celebration( a cake for the immediate family, 1 for my relatives and 1 for Hb’s relatives) that was started when Ryan was born would be continued. 🙂

How did you celebrate your birthday this year?

August 15 is a special day for me. 1st of all it is Blog Catalog Appreciation Day. I have been a member of Blogcatalog for over a year and through that site got to know many different bloggers and their wonderful blogs. There are hundred over blogs listed at that site under various categories. Do go check it out if you haven’t made your way there yet.

It’s my birthday!! Yeah!! I’m turning the big 3-0 this year. It marks a turning point in my focus in live . My goals and dreams that I have set out to achieve have drastically changed since I was 20. Back then my plan was to get a good job, get married have 3-4 kids by 30yrs old. Well I managed to do 2/3 of what I had targeted. I got married in my early 20s , have 2 kids( had 2 MC). Still hoping to have at least a #3(wanna have a baby girl) by 33yrs old. My job as an elementary school teacher is not as great as it was hyped out to be. I rather enjoy being a WAHM then go back to teach full time once my NPL is up. Having a full time job is not a priority to me now as compared to spending time with the kids and educating them properly.
