All in a day's work

My car has been in dire need of a car wash for a loooooong while now. So after our papa's day lunch at Super Buffer, Ed was super sweet enough to wash my car. While Ed was cleaning my car, my uber cute nephew, Alan wanted in on the action. The only problem was he would still sponge down the car even AFTER the car had been rinsed and was ready for drying!

(Disclaimer - in case this reaches the hands of the child protection agency, technically Alan didn't really clean the car, but it was cute seeing him attempt to help out!)

A chat with Chow Yun-Fat

One of my aunts in England recently opened a small Vietnamese restaurant in London and was surprised by a very special visit by none other than the legendary actor -- Chow Yun-Fat. Filled with overjoyment, my aunt called my mum to tell her about the presence of the famous actor sitting in her restaurant. My aunt then decided to pass the phone to Chow Yun-Fat so that he and my mum could converse. Apparently, Chow Yun-Fat enjoyed the food -- crab, banh xeo (vietnamese crepe) etc. so much that he not only devoured everything on his plate, he also proclaimed that he'll be returning again for another meal!

I hope this will be the start of a very successful restaurant for my aunt and her family!

Our Baby Shower

Ed and I had our co-ed baby shower this past Saturday, which was a lot of fun! Since most of our guests were Asians, we mistakenly thought that they'll arrive on "Asian Time". Interestingly enough, our guests were very punctual and one-by-one -- individuals, couples and families started to pour in. We were a little embarrassed for not being more prepared for our guests. For the next 20 minutes, our wonderful helpers -- Christine, Nicole and Ed's parents rushed around preparing the fruit salad and getting all of the hot food items into the chafing dish. Thankfully, food was served not too long after! Whew!

We would like to thank all of our friends and family for spending a beautiful Saturday afternoon with us and for their wonderful gifts (plus those that are still in transit). Baby Tam now has all of the essentials waiting for him when he decides to make his grand entrance!

We're also extremely gracious to all of our helpers (you know who you are) for all of your help and support at this special event. Thank you!!!
