The family of stingy pokers

How our family celebrates birthday?

The birthday girl/boy gets the (1) choice of food they want to eat. And then we go out to eat for either lunch or dinner the weekend before. Usually only one meal only coz we don’t like to wander the streets or malls now. It gets so boring coz we hardly do any shopping, we all prefer to stay home. So even on normal weekends, we go out for one meal and pack back the next meal. Or sometimes only the man goes out in the morning and pack food for us lazy girls. Cannot blame us, he’s an early bird and he always have the habit of having heavy breakfast outside with tea. 

Anyway no pompous birthday celebrations or wasting lots of money, except once we brought che-che to Batam on her birthday. Haha! (Oh! I totally forgot, I brought lil’ one to Korea last year for her birthday coz she asked for it.) we haven’t been buying any presents for the girls for more than 10 years or more, coz they 不缺少 anything. We give them angpows instead. 

On the actual birthday itself, we have a (2) cake. Used to be a big cake where we have to cut the cake, but over the years it became using a fork to cut the cake and eat from there 😂. Our cakes just get smaller. Not really cake fans now, used to use macarons, donuts and agar agar or whatever the girls want to eat as a birthday cake. 

Are we happy? Of course we are.
