Birthday Events

You woke up several times throughout the night as if you knew it was your birthday and you were all excited about it. In fact last night you woke up after around an hours' sleep. Luckily you went back to sleep shortly after that.

You were up again at 5.30 and played a while in your cot before calling mummy to bring you to our bed. Then you played on our bed a while before falling asleep again. You slept until after 8am, waking up just before mummy and daddy left for work.


Since you were already up, we decided to do the "traditional" selection of items for your birthday. It's supposed to determine your profession in future. Only thing is that we weren't too sure of what we were supposed to let you choose. So we improvised. This is what we put: a book, a pencil, a ruler, a calculator and a golf ball (of course is daddy's idea!). Then Ah Ma came to see, and she said we needed a pair of chopsticks and money too. We were pretty certain that you'd select the red book, as it was the biggest and brightest item. But when mummy put you down on the bed, you moved forward and picked the golf ball to daddy's greatest delight (Tiger Ban in the making? We'll see..) But after that, you picked the chopsticks, then the calculator, then the ruler.. Er.. so is that considered a successful selection? Not too sure. Maybe we should do it again after finding out how to do it correctly on your Chinese Birthday. We'll see...

Nanna called mummy during lunch time. She thought that mummy and daddy would be going home to see you, since it's your birthday. She wanted to wish you a happy birthday. Ee-ee also called to wish you, but it seems you were more interested in your milk milk at that time. Surprise, surprise.. because I know that you love the phone...


For dinner, Ah Ma didn't cook today. We all went to TGI Friday's. Here you are all ready in your red shirt, waiting for everyone to get ready to go to Queensbay. As soon as we packed your dinner, off we went to Queensbay. We ordered our food, and also a free kiddy meal for you too. We picked Fish and Chips for you while daddy and Ah Ma had steak, mummy ordered grilled salmon and Ah Kong ordered chicken. Of course your order came first. But by then we'd already started to feed you your porridge. Daddy removed the crust of the fish fingers as they were too hard for you. While you initially showed your "throw up" face, you soon enjoyed the fish. Ah Ma says it's dory fish.


We had a great time today at TGI Friday's. We hope that you did too. Happy Birthday, our little Evan.
