Today is 8th August 2008, (08.08.08), a very ong date in for chinese ethnic and a nice number for everybody. The opening of Olimpik Beijing 2008. I read an article in a newspaper in June, hundreds of couples in China registedred to get married today. Not just because of the date, also because of the International Games, Olimpik.
My August celebration started in 2004 when I got engaged and married in August 2005. Prior to that was just mere public holiday of the National Day. I delivered my first daughter in August 2006, added another joy to the month. But all of them were before the eighth of the month.
Early this month, on the second to be exact, we went back to Penang for my cousin’s wedding, Dad, Mom and our family. On the forth, we came back to Subang and celebrated Najla’s birtday. Was not really a celebration as during the day, we were on journey. So after maghrib, Dad recited doa, we sang her a birthday song and cut her ice-cream cake. This what we always do when celebrating each other’s birthday in the family. She was really enjoyed, excited to cut the cake, she even asked me to put the candles quickly, but she didn’t manage to blow them. Cutie Najla. I gave her a piece of cake, and she really enjoyed it (the ice cream of course!). Full concentration until we didn’t have the chance to take photo with her.
Two days after Najla’s birthday, we celebrated our third anniversary, the simplest way i.e. my hubby gave me a card a bouquet of red roses. I made mango pudding with lychees in the morning, and brought for my colleagues. Sweet course for everybody as a symbol of sweet marriage forever. Mommy asked, don’t you guys go out for a dinner? Ohh.. please, I rather stay home...I dont want to leave Najla if we were to go, and I’m too tired to look after her over dinner. So, just be home.
What your celebration today on this special date? A colleague is getting married and another colleague’s sister is getting engaged. Congratulations! By the way, 20th August 2008 is also a nice date (20.08.2008) isn’it? Well, in Malaysia, of course we are going to celebrate our National Day, it’s a celebration for everybody as it’s Public Holiday!!!
