As we do not usually bother celebrating birthdays (except when I need an excuse to gather friends to gulp beer) &#8230; we had a simple dinner at a Thai restaurant. After the dinner &#8230; I told Fitzand that it is his mommy&#8217;s birthday and he was super excited. He made a dash for his mommy and said &#8216;Mommy! It is your birthday today! I buy you a cake!!!&#8217;. Hahahaha! Guess he was excited about the cake instead. So we agreed to pick up a small cake to bring home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the way home &#8230; he told us &#8216;I think this is my birthday. Mommy &#8230; next time only is your birthday &#8230; ok?&#8217;. Hahaha! Guess mommy&#8217;s birthday got hijacked!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I just managed a couple of snapshots before the little one started enjoying the cake &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/fitzand-4-years-old-album-1\/fitzand-14-feb-2011.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"452\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the was the one who was going to &#8216;buy&#8217; the cake &#8230; Fitzand got to decide on the cake to buy.

As I&#8217;ve mentioned before, Fitzand is a super big fan of the lion dance. Since he was about 2 years old, he&#8217;s been bugging me to bring him to watch lion dance performances and now that he&#8217;s 4 years old and weigh 20kg+ &#8230; it ain&#8217;t really an easy task to let him sit on my shoulders to watch the performances. It is still okay during the Lunar New Year because those performances last for only a short while. The killing ones are those lion dance competitions where they have tons of different teams performing. Anyway &#8230; my old bones survived (so far).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/miscellaneous-digital-2\/liondancenovena.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>As we didn&#8217;t wanna block the others, I was sitting on the floor with Fitzand sitting on one of my fat lap. I managed a couple of shots (with one hand) and ended up with a numb leg after that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last weekend I found out that there was a lion dance performance at a mall and of course I brought the #1 fan there. He was delighted! It was even more fun (for him) when I caught an orange that the &#8216;lion&#8217; threw our way. \ud83d\ude00 Fitzand ate the orange and has been telling me that finally the &#8216;lion&#8217; gave him an orange. LOL! Not sure if I did mention in my recent entries &#8230; Fitzand did ask me to buy him something lately. I asked what was it that he wanted. He said &#8216;lion dance poles&#8217;. :O OMG! He wanted those poles that the &#8216;lions&#8217; dance &amp; perform on! LOL! I had a big laugh and of course &#8230; no poles allowed! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=19935724&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=19935724&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>I just realised someone signed my guestbook today and it was the 100th guestbook entry!
