Forty-nine

Last Tuesday, the family celebrated Ma's birthday with a dinner at Shang Palace. We wanted to have the dinner on Ma's birthday itself(the 4th of March), but Pa said he has something in the evening, and we'd have a late dinner. So we settled for Tuesday. On Tuesday after yoga, we left Lake Club just before eight. What would have taken us fifteen minutes ended up in a one hour ride to Shangri-La. We got caught in the jam. In the end, dinner started after nine. So much for not wanting to have late dinner. Pa said "No more Peking duck" We kids were disappointed.Peter's taller than Jean?

The family seems to have height issues. Ma likes to say she's tall. But Pa's actually way taller than Ma. Peter's shorter than Jean(and I think he knows it), but he likes to say he's taller. I know Paul (Chua) is way taller than me, but I like to believe I'm that I'm taller than him. I am my mother's daughter.
