81st

Ah Ma celebrated her birthday recently. The buffet lunch at Ellenborough Market Cafe saw 34 people turn up. All are family!

J and I were horrid. We were the first to reach the hotel but the only ones who forgot to bring her a gift! So the very next day, we went to buy her this.



J tells me that Ah Ma does not wear any gold. She does not have any. Many many years ago, Ah Gong's business went bust and she pawned her precious jewellery (I heard her dowry included) to make ends meet.



This is a very tiny bracelet we got her, nothing compared to the glitter she used to possess. Nevertheless we hope it will bring her a little joy and some good memories.
