Adrian’s Baby Full Moon Celebration
First Moon Celebration
Last week, my husband’s publisher, Adrian celebrated his daughter’s first month’s birthday. In Chinese, it’s called the Full Moon celebration. He gave us a box of goodies, which is a butter cake, 2 mini fruit and cheese tarts (it’s at the back on the left side), 2 hard boiled eggs (the shell has been dyed red), 2 ang ku (which is a soft pastry filled with sweet crushed peanuts inside) and a small plastic toy. Isn’t it cute?
We celebrated both our kids Full Moon as well, though in such different ways. We passed around Full Moon packages to friends and family for our first kid when he celebrated his first 30 days on earth. The second kid had a grander celebration. We had a big party at the nearby KFC restaurant, complete with Super Chook chicken mascot, cake, playground for the kids to play in, and lots of food for everyone. Hubby wrote a very interesting article about our first Full Moon experience.
Here’s an excerpt from his blog
And here’s the irony:
I paid for those packages at the full price quoted by them.
And I’ve incurred some costs and expenses in traveling to find 100 families to give the packages to.
This means that I was PAYING the restaurant what they were asking for, to distribute SAMPLES of their food for them at MY OWN cost, to 100 of MY own contacts!
And EACH and EVERY ONE of my contacts were potential customers of that restaurant!
Anyways, if you want to read further, just click on the picture and the article will appear.
Full Moon package designs have very much improved since Yang-Yang was born. Early this year, my mum received a similar package from a total stranger, who lives nearby. You can now even put the baby’s picture on the box. And the selection of stuff you want to put in the box are much, much wider as well. Just click on Baby Amber’s Full Moon picture to read about how we got this package, and what is a Full Moon celebration.

I stumbled upon your post from Yahoo. I don’t have any productive to add to this. I just placing my comment here because when i created my own blog i didn’t see so many comments and thought that people didn’t actually read it. Keep blogging. It’s a good form of expression and knowledge. I see lot of comments to your site so you don’t fit to this category but just a friendly bump post doesn’t hurt. Regards….
Hey…thanks for that. Fantastic post. I’ll be checking back soon for more news. Excellent!
Hi there!
I’ve been doing a lot of research online lately regarding online promotion and SEO since I just started an Thailand Shop with a couple of buddies.
The design of your website is awesome and I’d really like to exchange links with your website. Have a look at our website if you want, we put a lot of work and effort into it and are dedicated to improve it constantly.
We receive a lot of hits already (contact me for visitor stats) and I think both our websites can benefit from one another. Anyway, just thought I’d share my thoughts with you – keep up the good work and get back to me if interested!
I was in Samui for the last 2 weeks of January 2007 and had a extraordinary time – I always do! The trendiest part of the year is ‘tween late May until November (the monsoon season). When I was there, it rained a hardly a couple of times, but then promptly dried up after. Many people visit in the high season (November to March) because of pleasurable temperatures, red skies and low rainfall. As a answer tourism is at its highest and everything can be a little more expensive. Hotels and tours can be quite jam-packed and some tourist hot spots are not quite so laid back.
You are a very smart person!
