Dearest Little Skyler,
Today we celebrated Popo’s birthday! We all went to Kow-fu’s and Kow-mo’s place for dinner tonight as part of Popo’s birthday celebrations! It was also a special night because Gong-Gong was around as well. You had not seen him since sometime in February as he had gone back to Hongkong.
Mama, Papa and you had gone shopping for presents the week before for Popo. Mama was wracking her brains to figure out what presents to get that would be meaningful and useful for Popo and we spent quite a bit of time walking around shopping malls looking and looking until we finally decided on a few items.
One of the presents was a bottle of Honey and Vinegar. Apparently, drinking vinegar is a new health approach. The vinegar is mixed with different kinds of other flavours and together they serve different purposes for one’s health. We also got Popo a bottle of Honey with Dates. Again, this is for Popo’s health. You must have figured out by now that honey is a very healthy component in all kinds of food, Little Girl. Lastly, we got Popo a pashmina. This is shawl made out of wool and it had a very nice pattern. So, we were well prepared for Popo’s birthday! =D Because Gong-Gong was in Hong Kong during his birthday, we decided to get a gift for Gong-Gong too. We bought Gong-Gong some Pu-er tea. The uncle at the shop explained to Mama that this is a tea that tea connoisseurs would enjoy. The value of this tea was supposed to appreciate with time too, much like wine. Interesting, isn't it?
We spent the evening at Kow-fu’s and Kow-mo’s and you were the star of the evening rather than Popo as everybody fussed over you both before and after dinner. One of the highlights for Popo, more so than the fact that we were celebrating her birthday, was your being in a pretty dress that Mama had bought for you. =D That really made Popo’s night.

After Popo had sliced her birthday cake, we brought you home as you were very tired by then.
Remember, Little One, celebrating family birthdays is a very important ritual. You must never miss attending any family member’s birthday celebrations as it is a time of bonding and sharing of love.
We love you,
Papa and Mama
