First Birthday

It's been a while since my last post. Been so busy taking care of my little soon-to-be-toddler. Plus we are now back in Jakarta for whole 2 months and will be back in Singapore only after Chinese new year.

My baby birthday is actually due this coming weekend, but parents being Chinese people, said that her first birthday must be celebrated based on Chinese calendar. So the celebration will be postponed to early next month.

According to Chinese rules, the first birthday MUST pray to ancestors and to God. That is why the celebration must be based on Chinese birth date, and should not follow the international calendar.

I wondered if this tradition still hold true in other Chinese societies.
