I had a very busy Friday afternoon running here and there, not to mention that Junjun, my son, was also online on Yahoo! messenger. Junjun wants me to send him some blankets and jackets to Riyadh before the change of season. He doesn't have time to go around the city to buy some stuffs.

My brother, Bhoie, and his children visited us this afternoon. He will be leaving to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday and he brought his children with him to show them where we reside. His sons, Elijah and Ericson, are taller than me now, in fact, even taller than Paul Denise, and they are only less than 15 years old!

It's unfortunate that Bhoie cannot make it on Papa's birthday, which is the same day of his flight, September 26th. Papa was upset two weeks ago that Nasser and Bhoie won't be there on his birthday and he wanted us to cancel his birthday party. Papa is planning to invite some new friends to his party and wish to introduce his sons. He blatantly commented that if his boys won't be there, he didn't like a party celebration anymore. In Chinese family, they only give importance to the boys, and this matter sometimes made me feel bad. Papa cared so much about his boys but, when it comes to his basic needs, we (his daughters), were quick enough to provide help and assistance.

Anyway, good luck Bhoie and have a safe journey. We love you even Papa loves you more than us...
