Thank you all for your birthday wishes.
Benghui surprised me through the blog. How was my birthday? It was like any other day. Bengbeng always has grand ideas. I shot them down. No need to waste money.
I don’t like to dress up and go out. My taste in food is simple. I eat mainly vegetarian stuff. How many ways can one cook vegetables?
Benghui insisted I take him to a bakery to buy some bread. He had other ideas. The cheapest cake was RM29.00. He had only RMRM7.00. He bought me a small butter raisin cake. It is enough. It is the thought that counts.
With each passing year, I don’t feel any older. I can still wear the clothes I wore in my twenties. But emotionally I am more settled. And yes, I am contented with my life. Of course there are worries from time to time but nothing major.
Mylongkang has been around for almost four years now. It is their toy. Initially I thought the fad would pass. Benghui’s command of the English language has improved a lot due to the blog. Lately Benghui has been reading the newspapers every day both English and Chinese.
They spend time on the blog. Bengbeng is often away from home taking photographs. But it is a harmless hobby and I have no objections. I have my own career and there is so much to do at home.
p.s. Bengbeng and I still remain to a certain extent anonymous and Bengbeng posted this pic on the blog three years ago. It is an old photo, a very old photo. Nobody would recognize me from this photo. The lady at the back is a beautician. The hand on the left belongs to Hean Richards, Bengbeng’s sister.Today I would need Hean, a beautician and a miracle to look like this. ( smile )
There will be no update from Bengbeng today. His legs are hurting and Benghui is busy studying
He had only RMRM7.00. He bought me a small butter raisin cake. It is enough. It is the thought that counts.>>> that was really cute for benghui to do that. the amount didnt matter.
yeah he is the best gift ever i bet… and tell him pls his achievement would be the present, well i am not thinking of giving him more pressure…ehem well another kind of encouragement though =p still gotta give benghui a big thumb up! so thoughtful of him
Love and thoughts from your loved ones are of course way better than any material gifts in the world. Glad you had a good birthday.
Good luck to Benghui. Do your best on your finals, Benghui!
Bengbeng – get well soon. BTW, what happen to his legs?
BB: nothing i cannot live with
Yeah! benghui remembered it was your BD.
Whooa! Mommy looked so pretty like HKG movie star!
wow, my first time reading Mrs BB writing here.. i actually like the idea of you one family maintaining this blog, it’s a cool idea that you keep posts running when the main owner is not available..
p/s: BB, what happen to your legs?? get well soon~~

It’s a very kind thought from Benghui.
Belated birthday greetings bengbeng.

Prayers going up for the caregiver!
It is more than a full-time job. We are crazy homeschoolers and have to deal with seasons of slack now-and-again, so extra thoughts are going out to you! I hope you will enter a season of being able to share with us again real soon. 
So I am Pauline’s REAL indentity, and I wanted you to know that you are never far from my prayers. I know you are busy but do still check for an update every now and again! Your family is always on the heart of our family.
