Zhu ni happy birthday! 生日快乐
Simon is finishing up the longest stretch of birthday ever. It started yesterday morning (Chinese time) with a load of presents, and will finish today at noon when his actual birthday in the U.S. is over.
I brought cup cakes to school yesterday and the kids first sang "Happy Birthday" and then belted out in a "Zhu ni shengri kuaile." It's the Chinese equivalent of course, and it uses the exact same melody:
Happy birthday to you
祝你生日快乐
zhù nǐ shēngrìkuàilè
Happy birthday to you
祝你生日快乐
Happy birthday to you
祝你生日快乐
Happy birthday to you
祝你生日快乐
(I copied this from ask yahoo.com.)
I would like to tell you more, but right now the two emperors are eager to get out to a bouncy castle they spotted yesterday at some nearby shopping mall. (A shopping mall called "Euro plaza"....hhm, do you think I am their target audience?).
I hope the pictures from Simon's birthday are self explanatory. (Notice how Thomas is quietly approving the presents too!)
