2020 might have been a turbulent year but we still wanted to end it on a happy, positive and somewhat magical note. Yup, the year end is when I will host birthday parties for each of the kids and we come up with different themes depending on what they like.
Since we were in Phase 2 this year which only allowed five guests to be in our house at any time, I knew it would be a challenge to conduct birthday parties yet I didn't want to use it as an excuse not to do anything. Back in October, I asked the big girl - whose birthday comes first in November - if she would like to invite five of her closest friends over for a craft party. Even though I knew it would have made her happy like it did every year, she was so sweet to say "Mama, it's okay. You don't have to work to hard this year (and you are pregnant), I can do without a birthday party."
That totally melted my heart. Yet somehow, instead of purely feeling relieved, I began to wonder how I could still do something for the kids since their birthdays are always special to me. It was then I suggested that we hold a combined celebration for all three of them since their birthdays fall close to each other and that we could come up with a theme that all of them liked, could relate to and was excited about.
It wasn't long before the idea of having a Magic Party came to our minds since the girls picked up some magic tricks this year during the circuit breaker period and even the little brother was thrilled when we said that the kids could join forces to perform a magic show. So we put our thoughts into action and started creating their magician costumes, did up a 'stage', came up with decorations and went through rehearsals to get ready for the big day. I also planned a surprise for the kids by having Ian of True Vine Kids Magic to show us what close-up magic means which amazed and inspired everyone present at the table. Read on to find out more about what happened at our one-of-a-kind magic party!
➻Jarvie’s “Zhua-Zhou” ❶

這篇寫英文，因為你們都懂抓周是什麼啦，而且絕對比我還清楚，我其實去到小村日和的時候才知道原來抓周不只是抓東西，還有一連串的習俗要做
So in many Asian cultures there is often a first birthday ceremony that entails a big family/friends gathering along with a fortune-telling activity. There are photography studios that specialize in capturing these special moments at the “Zhua-Zhou” celebration.
Many months ago, I came across a deal for a family portrait photo shoot (around $70USD for 20 digital files). The package included themed Zhua-Zhou with costumes. I was very intrigued, who doesn’t want to put their bub in a costume and have photos taken by a professional?! So I booked the photo shoot and chose the Japanese themed Zhua-Zhou photo shoot. Why? Because yukatas are cuter than boy Qi-paos (pronounced chee-pao) in my opinion, aaand because I wasn’t sure if I’d fit into a Qi-pao by the time of the photo shoot.
The “Japanese themed Zhou-Zhua” started with “cleansing of the hands”, followed by “drawing an o-mikuji”, which is a lucky proverb written on bamboo sticks and it tells your future.
If I were to choose the Chinese themed Zhua-Zhou, we would’ve rang a gong to symbolize blessing for the little one instead of washing the baby’s hands, which symbolizes respect for the upcoming ceremony. In the Korean themed Zhua-Zhou, you’d beat a drum to pass on blessings to the gods.
Then, we touched some green onions hanging from a string.
Wait, what? Green onions?
Yea those were my thoughts exactly.
I was so confused when they wanted Jarvie to hold onto some green onion prop that they had prepared.
So apparently the word for green onions “cong” (pronounced “tsong”) has the same sound as “cong-ming”, which means smart in Chinese. So touching the green onions symbolizes knowledge and wisdom blessings to the child.
