Happy Birthday Sin! xoxo

Yes, its Sin's birthday today, 25 all over again! ;-)... to be honest the other day I was trying to work out our age as I had completely forgotten, even then it took me time to work it out, whats the difference between 2011 and 1982?  Something like that 10 years ago would not have troubled me, 2 seconds and the answer would be at the tip of my tongue, while now, 2 minutes would be a good time!

So yes Sin's birthday.  Every year I wonder what we should do, as I want to make it special.  This year we decided on a BBQ as the weather recently has been so good.  Now unfortunately as I was busy being the host and cooking, I didn't manage to take any pics on my digital sources, i.e iphone or SLR, so no photos to share at present.  :-(  oh well, all I can say was that Sin had a lovely time, playing with the BBQ, realising that Lumpwood is better than Brisketts, catching up on friends, have a laugh with the family and most importantly, is favourite past time of all, eating!

Happy birthday Sin, only 38 minutes to go before its the next day.....26th April...your sister's birthday!  Yes Sin's sister's birthday is a day after his! Easy to remember I guess!

I Love You Mum

For us in the UK, its Mothers Day. Mothers Day is celebrated on different days around the world.

This day may have emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece.  In Europe there were several long standing traditions where a specific Sunday was set aside to honour motherhood and mothers
In the UK and Ireland, this day is the 4th Sunday in Lent.  For countries like Hong Kong and USA, its tje second Sunday of May.

So I decided to invite my family around to mine for dinner.  M&S Dine In for £15, yum yum.  As it was probably going to be busy at all the restaurants today, I thought that would be the best option.  We can always go to dinner another time.

Yes we got all that for £15!  

Sin decided to get mum some sushi as well as she loves that, a bit weird to go with the roast, but remember us Chinese likes to eat weird and wonderful things. See

Thank you mum for everything! I love you

Now its their turn.....

As Sin and I are getting older its now the turn of the youngsters in our family to cook for us....bring on my brother Yik & Amy!!! (getting embarrassed already!)

Sin and I got to taste some new dishes that originate from China (China at times has different dishes from Hong Kong), including Chicken that had been cooked with beer and chillies!

Thank you Amy and Yik (we even got soup and a dessert!)....Sin and I were very full!  We look forward to our next invite ;-)
