I am sure there was a better way to do it but I didn't feel like "fighting" so I just did it in the most inefficient way. One stupid thing I did was I accidentally locked my Yahoo Blogs so I can't leave any more comments to people who requested to follow me. Really really sorry about that! I hope they will somehow find me again :(
Time flies. It's already September and tomorrow is gonna be my birthday. Last year on my birthday I was still in Hong Kong celebrating with my family and waiting to reunite with my husband who had arrived the States before me. Today I am with him and missing my family. I don't know which version is better and happier ... If you have all your loved ones around you, you are very very very lucky. I don't easily brag but I will say my family is the BEST. They surprised me with a birthday cake at 12:00 a.m. in Hong Kong when it turned 21st. I couldn't believe it. A real cake presented to me on the screen and they sang me the Happy Birthday song, acted so cheerful, let me make my wish and even blew the candle with me. My tears just ran and ran down my face uncontrollably ... Although we are 7806 miles apart, I can deeply feel how they try to overcome the distance to make me feel special. I love them, more than anything else.
Birthday from last year ... It was an emotional evening for me knowing that I was going to leave everybody in a couple days.
去年的生日。。。那一刻特別傷感,因為大家都知道過兩天我便離家。
Two days after my birthday I left Hong Kong to reunite with my husband. We had been apart for nearly two months. It should have been a happy ending to reunite with him but my feelings were complicated.
過了生日後兩天我便飛到美國與他重聚。我們當時分隔了將近兩個月,相聚本是好事但心情卻複雜得很。

First picture of us at the airport after I landed from a fourteen hour direct flight. My makeup still looked good because I almost didn't sleep. During the flight, I had a lot of thoughts that kept me awake.
因為在旅途中想得太多,沒甚麼睡過,飛了十四多小時妝也不用補。
The surprise cake from my family this year. It's a beautiful marble cake with seasame flavor. Although I couldn't taste it, I felt the sweetness more than words can ever express!
今年家人給我的意外驚喜。一個很別致的雲石芝麻蛋糕。他們在香港的零晨時份為我唱了生日歌,讓我許願,陪我吹熄蠟燭,過程如在現場一樣,很震撼。雖然我不能吃,但那份甜真的難以用筆墨形容!

ReplyDeleteYour blog's always so warm and sweet~
Thanks Dau Ting! So nice to hear from you again! :)
DeleteHi Vicky,
ReplyDeleteThis new blog is great and very much suit you and your beloved one's style. Tell you what? People with their birthday on 21st September are some of the most special people in the world, especially for their beloved ones(reason to follow). So a very big belated happy birthday to you and a sincere wish that you and your husband Brandon have the best of life and romance to come from a stranger in cyberspace one day after his birthday.
Apparently, the time here is ahead of that over your side of the world, so I wrote it on the 22nd day of September.
DeleteHi Gravel! Yes, I figured you wrote on the 22nd. We are 13 hours behind Hong Kong! I now am wondering because of your comment ... Is your birthday on September 21st too?? That would be an amazing coincidence!! I really appreciate your kind words every time you drop by. Thank you from me and Brandon for your sweet blessing! :)
DeleteI was surprised by the coincidence as well - first time in the past many decades!
ReplyDeleteI love your new blog and I enjoyed you on both your birthday and birthday eve :) I can't wait for more sweet entries!

DeleteThat's so sweet of your family! I spent my birthday with my bf and his parents at the state fair. Happy belated birthday, Vicky!
ReplyDeleteThank you Agnes! It sounds fun being at the state fair! I haven't been back to a fair in a while but I remember liking the rides, food, displays and animals. We are actually planning to go to the Covered Bridge Festival in Rockville soon for some good food! :)
