Love Is All Around...

Andy's belated birthday cake... LOL... finally he got to eat his special home made butter cake by Elin during the eve of Chinese New Year.... we sang a belated birthday song to him and he was beaming from left to right... as seen in this picture... :P

son, sorry for not buying u a birthday present
and thank u for saying that i do not need to give
for you understand how difficult times are these days..
hearing that from u, i feel so blessed...

one day, i will make it up to u..
we will get together more often..
many times we might get annoyed with each other,
we will forget that and make amends,
stick to each other thru' good and bad times..
this is what family is all about...

  14. Hi Reanaclaire, many happy returns of the day to your son. He sure one good looking boy.
    As well you have brought him up well....the kind of man one day an SYT will be proud to bring home show her mummy, ha ha.
    A good son always reflects back to his mother.
    See the son and you'll know the mother.

    Every mother hopes that her daughter will marry a better man than she did, and is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did.

    You don't raise heroes, you raise sons.
    And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes.

    One good mother is enough to govern one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one mother.

    And Reana, Don't wait to make your son a great man, make him a great boy.
    Have a great Tiger year, and you stay young, stay beautiful.....Best regards, Lee.
