This year, he completely forgot my birthday (once again). If there are kids reading this, let me alert you to this very important fact: FORGETTING YOUR MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY IS A CARDINAL SIN. It's in the Mother's Bible which your mum received when she was in labour with you. You break that rule, she has the right to remind you loudly about your erroneous ways at strategic moments (when you're in school surrounded by your friends, for instance).
To Andre's credit, to make up for his oversight, instead of rushing to produce a 5-minute spontaneously scribbled birthday card, he spent a whole morning creating this:
Umm... a tissue box? Ah but it's not just any old tissue box. Inside, he'd filled it with little scraps of paper, each with the picture of a pair of hands or lips.
The idea is, anytime I felt like it, I could draw out a piece of paper and if it showed hands, I would get a hug from him. If it showed lips, I would get a kiss. I've used it quite extensively so far and it never gets old.The best part? Andre assures me the gift will never expire. ♥♥♥

Sweet little boy. So this time you did not go anyway to eat to celebrate your birthday? Sometimes, the places you recommend are really worth to go. Happy Belated Birthday to you too.

Thanks Chris!
Happy Belated Birthday, Mon!
So guilty lah, I forgot my hubby's birthday this morning. How I found out? Son no. 2 called hubby's mobile no. using the school's public phone to wish him 'Happy Birthday'. That's during recess, after his CA1 EL paper. Hubby's heart is filled with honey now. I guess the CA1 results (predictably bad) don't matter now.

SC: Keke, so you have to be specially nice to your dh tonight lah. Who asked him to have a birthday during CA1?? Your son is so sweet :)
He is cleverer than my academically-inclined ds1 for this. I can change Ikea's tagline to 'Ýou don't have to be good to be clever.' for him.

SC: Often, EQ is more important than IQ so you're blessed!
