Parents Day and the golden boat!

Every year for Mothers & Fathers Day our church celebrates it as being 'Parents day.' It's the day where the youth organise practically everything... apart from the actual sermon. They do choir presentations, hand out flowers, gifts, food and the youth have the option of giving a little thankyou speech up the front for their parents. When i was asked by precious Jade to say something i was like SURE! Then it dawned on me.. oh *beep* it's meant to be in chinese isn't it?

Now if its anyone who's truly a bit GG about their own culture & cultural background, it's me. Even though i went to chinese school and speak to my parents in chinese, my chinese seems to be going down hill by the second!

I remember in China once, Tak's Aunt was making those paper gold nuggets for Chinese new year. Now i battled with Tak's relatives trying to prove to them i was Asian enough for them. Just when i thought i was winning the race, she asked me what it was... i went blank and said..


its a boat! ^_^




GOSH! I wanted someone to shoot me!




ARgh.. i still cringe at the thought! But back to parents day! I asked Jade to translate my speech for me verbally so i could write it out in english with hung yin ping yin. Mike and I practised and practised and it was truly worth all the effort. Afterall this day was about our parents whom we're eternally thankful for. We've been blessed with such wonderful parents.

Lastly... I told my parents that i loved them for the first time that day(apart from when i was little). They both cried! The moment was so precious... it will stay with me for a good while!


Happy Parents Day Mum and Dad. Da jie Mike and I love you.
