My niece is one month old

Angie is one month old!
We (bro, sis, sis' mil, sil, sil's mom and myself) were debating about what need and need not do for the ocassion. It's quite obvious that my dad's not in the 'discussion' cos we know he will say 'no need'. Bro and sil has been kept super busy with the new arrival and also coping with D (the elder 3 yr old) is no joke. So..my bro welcomes the simplest 'do'.

In the end..it was decided that a simple gift pack (with two 'red eggs' - a must have during a baby full moon) will be distributed to close relatives and we (immediate family members) gathered for a simple dinner at the restaurant.

As in weddings or festivals, the color red represents happiness and good luck. Eggs are significant because they symbolize fertility and the renewal of life. Also, their shape is traditionally associated with harmony and unity. According tosome sources, an even number of eggs means a daughter has been born, while an odd number represents a son. MORE

Anyway..here's another nice blog write-up about do's and don'ts according to chinese the tradition after a baby's birth....
