I've often joked that the only Cantonese I've learned in close to 30 years of marriage, roughly translates to 'You are the Goddess of the Universe'. It's gotten me out of a lot of marital scrapes.
Well, during that same period of time I can count on one hand -- and not use all of the fingers -- the times that I've given a birthday or Christmas present to Teresa (a/k/a Mrs. Nibs or Lai Yee) that she really liked. I believe I succeeded with this painting!
