Chingay in the Heartlands

To enable more Singaporeans and tourists to enjoy the Chingay Parade, Chingay celebrations has moved to the HDB Heartlands... and we're so privileged to be staying along Bishan St 22 to be able to witness the wonderful event yesterday...

It's the 1st time I ever watched such an enchanting display of floats right before me & I was totally mesmerised by the beautiful lightings!!
WOW!! It's such a pity that our camera is not able to take nicer shots of the event. Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself very much that evening.

Steady... Hold it well...

Mommy has finally succeeded in teaching me to hold my own milk bottle when I drink my milk-milk. I've been so lazy all the while wanting her to hold it for me. Now I need to learn how to tilt the bottle to drink the remaining milk-milk when it's finishing.

My Birthday Sundae @ Swensen's

Daddy & Mommy brought me to the Changi Airport Terminal 2's Swensen's for my actual birthday celebration. I had my very 1st Birthday Sundae with 3 scoops of ice-cream (cookies & cream, chocolate & yam flavours) and a short piece of banana to hold the candle! It was yummy (though I don't really like the yam flavour)!

You must be wondering who took the photos for us... it was Jiu-Jiu! Jiu-Jiu, Jiiu-Ma & Rafael gor-gor were there to join us in the celebration too!

After the meal, all of us took a slow walk to the new Terminal 3. It was like a huge shopping mall! It was so fascinating looking at the cool layout of the Terminal, as well as the large crowd of people there. The only disappointment was that I couldn't see a single aeroplane coz of the light's reflection on the glass panels.

Slam Dunk !!!

Watch me dunk that ball...


A more professional dunking now...


Am I going to be the next Yao Ming??

This Playskool basketball toy was a present from Carys & family. Daddy & Mommy were so proud of me when I picked up the game almost immediately. Do I dunk like a professional basketball player? Hee!

Happie Birthday to Nathanael... Happie Birthday to U!

Preparations for the Party...
Yesterday morning, Mommy started to decorate the living room for my 1st birthday party. I was surprised & thrilled to see such a pretty banner hanging up there when I woke up from my morning nap! I just can't help looking at it the whole of yesterday!


The Bash...

It was a fairly small gathering of my grandparents (both paternal & maternal), Gu-Gu, Jiu-Jiu & Jiu-Ma & cousin Rafael gor-gor, my Mommy's cousin "Ah-Boy" uncle, my neighbours Uncle Chong Yew & Auntie Michelle & Carys, as well as my church friends Uncle Eugene & Auntie Sujia & Jo-en gor-gor. A simple dinner was served; the food was yummy though the satay & curry were a little too spicy. Few photos were taken coz everyone was pre-occupied enjoying the food & taking turns to entertain me.

My playmates...

The customised Pooh & Friends Birthday cake...
It was a black forest cake of yummy chocolate & chunky berries, from Pine Gardens cake shop. Although it was not customised exactly the way Mommy wanted it to be, it still looked cute & personalised. Mommy even prepared a musical candle (that plays the "Happy Birthday" song) for my cake!
I was very tired by 7.45pm, so we had to cut the cake before everyone finished eating their dinner. (Uncle Eugene, I'm so sorrie that I juz couldn't wait any longer!) After the cake-cutting, I had my refreshing bath & milk-milk, and by 9pm I was off to Dreamland... and finally...

The lovely presents & well-wishes from the people I love...
Thankie everyone for the wonderful presents & ang-pows! Not forgetting, there were also gifts from my God-Mommy Auntie Pauline & my nanny, who weren't able to make it for the evening!
