Yipee....it has almost been a month since i was "imprisoned" in my own house with crime mate Ray, where we spent everyday cuddling each other even when the temperature is 31 degree!! We just love it HOT!!
Today marks a special day as the chinese believe that we have to celebrate the baby's 1st month milestone. why? From what i read, ancient china has very high infant deaths so when any surviving babies live past the 1st month, it calls for a celebration. And there are a few traditional stuff that we have to perform like shave the hair and brows of the baby. We opted to just symoblically cut the hair and spare the brows. I mean its Ray's big day and i dont want him to freak people out with his browless face.
And we also ordered some traditional cakes for our relatives to mark this occassion. The red eggs (which must be given in pairs) symbolise completeness and fullness; the ‘Ang Gu Kueh’, also given in pairs, symbolise sweetness and happiness. ‘Gu’ which means ‘Turtle’, is also a symbol of longevity.
