Today I had a birthday party at my aunt's house. There were lots of people there! We played a traditional Taiwanese game for first birthdays. All the guests brought something that represented a career and placed those items on the floor in front of me. For example, there was a paint brush for painter, a toy piano for a musician, an abacus for merchant, a kitchen tool for chef, a credit card (placed by my dad) for a wealthy spender, etc. The item I crawl to and pick up indicates which career I will go into in the future. At first I didn't understand the game and got a bit weirded out by all the people staring at me. Then I picked up the abacus and played with that for a while, but the item I really ended up playing with was the toy piano. This might mean that I will become a musician AND business woman! I guess this means I am really Chinese. It's time for violin lessons!
