Double whammy ...

I knew my sister's birthday was yesterday, but I had no idea my grandmother's birthday was on the same day. How is it possible that a grandson does not know his grandmother's birthday?

Well, I am blaming Chinese calendar! It is a tradition for the old generation to celebrate important days based on old calendar system, but the younger generation uses western calendar. Usually, my parents keep me informed of the birthday, but they failed me this year.

I already made plans to do things with coworkers, but I had to cut it short so I could go see Grandma and celebrate her birthday with the family.

Did I mention I hate Chinese calendar?
