The wise words of Lao Tsu

*This too will pass * When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be * When you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to * Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

Suprise Dinner

After we had finished decorating last night...the girls suprised me with some early birthday presents...I will not see Jess or her family nor Nettie's family on my birthday this week so they suprised me early. I received a beautiful "Jade Buddha necklace" from Nettie and a very cool "Yixing Clay Cup" from Jess to brew and drink Green Tea from. These are fantastic gifts for me and I am so pleased with them :-)
Then Mr Zhang picked us up and we all headed off to the amazing restaurant with the rollerskating waiters and tropical plants. We ate dinner near the water and they had even organised a "Black Forest Cake" from my favourite bakery... I had no idea we was going out for dinner let alone a special birthday dinner!


OK the "28" candles...It's an "in" joke:-)Everyone here that asks my age guesses me at around "28" Personally I just think that they are all very polite...but I figure if that is what everyone thinks, then why not...If they want to guess me as nearly 10 years younger than I am...Maybe I should not argue the point. (lol) Of course my friends know my real age.


It is a Chinese tradition to have a special bowl of noodles on your birthday...here they are. Long Life Noodles...
What a cool night :-)A great Birthday suprise!
