My 1st Birthday!

Preparations are underway for my big birthday party!

That's us packing the goodie bags

Jie Jie you're supposed to back the bags, not play with the goodies!

Look at me, Im doing serious work! Im doing QC on the balloons!

Ok they're elastic all right!

On the day of the party, the function room was filled with a hundred helium filled balloons. Daddy had tried to wheedle Mummy to do the same for Jie Jie's party 3 years ago but helium is a pretty expensive gas and Mummy was not willing to spend the extra money.

Lucky for me, recently she managed to find a cheap lobang for a helium tank and we could have the helium balloons!

All my guests were enjoying themselves while i was happily snoozing away upstairs...

...doing coloring...

...playing on the mini playground...

...trying on party "hats" twisted by Mummy...

...and getting their faces painted

Nobody seemed to miss me! Hmph!

Then i made my grouchy entrance cos Mummy had no choice but to wake me up as it was getting late and no one had even seen the birthday boy yet!

Not even a pretty babe could cheer me up!

I was moody...

...and spaced out...

What? More pics? Tell them to go away Gong Gong!

And then it was time to cut my cake. I love dogs so Mummy specially had a cake made in the shape of a dog, and she also ordered 2 dozen cupcakes with doggy faces on them.

I perked up a little then, cos i was so fascinated by them!

Whoa so many doggys, Mummy!

Everyone clamouring to be near the doggys

Yawn! Can i go back to sleep after this?

Hey i thought this was MY birthday?

Why are all of you blowing out my solitary candle?

Arrrgh ive no heart to look!

Awww man! Now you've got saliva all over my cake!!

Avril: (act blur) Terelle: (oblivious) Xiang Kor Kor: (Sheepish)

Jie Jie helpfully serving cake to the guests

Its a ploy! She actually wanted to sneak off with more cake! MUMMY!!

After much feasting and merry making, all my guests went home. Mummy and Daddy could finally relax now!

Look how ecstatic they are? No more big bashes...till next year? hehe

And then we all adjourned upstairs where i finally "woke up" from my drowsy, moody stupor.

Yay! Time to open my presents!

Ugh! *grunt* Can i play with this now?

Jie Jie being helpful again, helping me tear off the wrapping

(just so she can have 1st pick of the toys!)

Terelle: Errrr Mummy? I think i accidentally tore one of his toys

Thane: Oh thank god thank god my thomas is safe from her!

And on my actual birthday, we went to Swensens for an ice cream treat! Since all birthdays have to be celebrated with ice cream from now on right?

Jie Jie already heartily tucking into my ice cream

I think she is enjoying this more than I am!

I had a great birthday! Thank you everyone who came to my party and gave me lots of presents and ang pows! I love all of you!

Act3 Drama performance

Kara and I attended a week long drama workshop at Act 3 during the december holidays. After many rehearsals, it all culminated in a performace specially for our family members!

Looking a little unsure at the start, as the theatre started to fill up with people

Delivering our lines with nary an expression, much to the amusement of our family

Portraying the scary Jabberwoky, hardly scary with our poker faces...haha...

We soon warmed up though, and forgot all about the audience

And becoming the true "artistes" that we are!

Totally immersed in our roles now!

It was an enjoyable and fun filled week and we were rewarded with certificates for our efforts!

Posing with Teacher Grace, our drama coach

And in true blue theatre fashion, stuffing our faces at the reception afterwards!

Daddy's Birthday

SOrry for the extremely long delay in uploading our adventures, cos we were in the midst of moving house and Mummy had no internet connection until recently.

Anyway...this was what we got up to during the "radio silence"!

Daddy's birthday was celebrated in a low key manner this year. On the actual day, Mummy collected a durian cake from an independent baker and we had a mini celebration at home. Baby Bone was already in dreamland by then so it was just the 3 of us, blowing out the candle and stuffing our faces with the cake. And it was a really yummy cake! I shall ask Mummy to order it again for future gatherings!

On Friday, all of us trooped out for an ice cream treat, as promised by our birthday boy. We headed to Udders, a mini ice cream joint next to United Square, where they had a mind boggling variety of home made ice cream!

Needless to say, i was in seventh heaven

ooh..brain freeze!

Hey Daddy, i know you're eagerly anticipating your ice cream...but could u wait for it to arrive?

Wah how could you deny me a taste of that?!

Daddy wondering if Baby Bone really looks like him

We had a good time out together as a family. Happy Birthday Daddy! Shall we celebrate all birthdays from now on with an outing for ice cream? Shall we shall we??

Baby Bone's maiden trip to KL

Thursday 30th October 2008

After a series of booboos...

(First mummy drove the car to the post office in the morning and the car got a ding when she returned, daddy was hopping mad...

Then we assumed Jetstar flew from the budget terminal. Went there only to have to scramble to Terminal 1 cos we were running late.

Then during check-in, Daddy mistakenly checked in Aunty Marilyn's work permit with the luggage, so there was some hooha at the immigration...)

we were finally on our way to KL to attend Daddy's cousin's wedding!

Err whats all that commotion about? *scratch head*

I was soooo excited to be able to fly in an aeroplane again! Could hardly contain my excitement...i was bugging Mummy over and over again that entire morning, is it time for us to leave yet!?

Sleepy baby bone...who fell asleep when the plane took off and only woke when we landed

It was a short 30min ride and pretty soon we were at the hotel.

Whoopee! Kids gone mad!

After a short rest, we headed out to this restaurant called El Cerdo where they specialised in pork dishes. The food was fantastic cos they were totally of the artery clogging variety!

That's me tucking into my sumptious dinner

Errr Mummy, Daddy are u sure the suckling pig's head can be eaten?

Friday 31st October 2008

We hit the shops bright and early today. Didnt buy much cos Mummy was on strict orders from Daddy not to spend cos she needed to pay for the damage done to the car. (mummy: boohoo...)

Now where shall we head to guys?

Refuelling at a coffee joint

Mummy with blase baby bone, as usual...

Headed back to the hotel after lunch for a BUBBLE BATH! No hotel stay is complete without a bubble bath. And this time, baby bone is old enough to join me for some bubbly fun in the tub!

Still being his nonchalant self...

Hey baby, look alive, look ALIVE!

After a nice nap, Yi Por brought us all to a seafood restaurant for dinner. And while the adults feasted, Xiang Kor Kor and I had loads of fun monkeying around!

Mummy: I love this pic!

Dats us - The inseparable cousins!

Dats me with my greasy, brown mouth after chomping down a whole bowl of Dai Look Mee (Daddy's favourite noodles), now my favourite noodles too!

Mummy: How come im not surprised?

Of cos ill never leave my brother out of the fun!

Saturday 1st November 2008

Hit the shops today again while the rest of the family headed off to Yi Por's house to watch the groom fetch his bride. We couldnt go cos Daddy and Mummy had no clothes decent enough for the event. (Daddy's booboo cos he didnt know we had to go to the bride's house in the day) The only clothes that Mummy and Daddy had were sloppy tees and berms!

I know Mummy wouldnt have minded going to the shops early just to get an outfit and then join the rest of the family at the bride's house!

Baby bone's really happy cos he just had half a cup of fresh soyabean!

I cant make up my mind...a girl cant have too many accessories rite Mummy?

Finally tired out from all his exertions

Finally evening came and it was time for the wedding dinner! All of us got dolled up to the nines and headed to the ballroom for the solemnization ceremony.

Baby Bone just before he was hustled out of the room for making too much noise

Xiang Kor Kor and I making a big mess

I was bored during the dinner, so Mummy gave me the camera and i was released to run amok within the ballroom! I became one of the photographers for the nite! These were some of the photos that i took...

Not bad huh...

Mummy and Daddy hamming it up for me

And also the ones below...

All taken by yours truly ok!

Think i should go pro soon...

Daddy and I sharing a dance together

Daddy, dont cry when u dance with me on MY wedding day okie?

It was a tiring day and us kids all hit the sack immediately after the dinner. Mummy and Daddy sneaked out for some late nite supper with Daddy's cousin. Dont think we didnt know u two sneaked out!!

Sunday 2nd November 2008

Finally it was time to head for home after an enjoyable time in KL. My only grouse was the terrible air that made me cough incessantly each time we were outdoors.

More trips more trips Daddy!!

I just cant resist bullying baby bone...muahaha...
