Daddy's birthday present

Dearest Phoebe,

Somehow this entry would probably be better written by Daddy but mummy just felt giving her two cents worth.

We spent two Sundays ago visiting Uncle David and Auntie Christina (Yes, mummy hasn't had the entry to blog these days.. will share more later on this.). As we made our way to their rather exclusive apartment, Daddy and I just shared a common view that as parents, we really hope to be able to provide you with a comfortable roof above your head in future. Whilst some may lament that such parents probably spoil their kids with material needs, we hope that by doing so, you could concentrate on building your career, doing your best for your job. Perhaps, mummy is an idealist but it is sad if your main aim of keeping your day job in future is simply to fulfil your material needs.

As we were busy messing around at Uncle David's house, whom by the way, is Daddy's good friend, Uncle David sprang a little surprise on us - a birthday cake! I must confess at that moment, mummy could not think of anyone else's birthday except yours which was over by then. Well, it turned out that Uncle David actually remembered Daddy's birthday on the 23rd and planned a little celebration for him in advance. I could see Daddy was really touched by Uncle David's gesture.

We ended the evening heading towards a nearby place for dinner. It was a small chicken rice stall near the road (with air-conditioned though) and it serves really sumptious food. You were busy helping yourself with the small plate of rice and the glass of barley. As we were eating, mummy overheard Daddy's conversation with Uncle David in which he said:" This little girl is really my best birthday present two years ago and she will always be." You heard that?
