For a few years, we have not been celebrating the birthdays of many frens in this group.Well, this yr, I seek their agreement to RE-celebrate these impt days again.Since Siang's birthday was 4mths ago, I reckon Kenny will not rem that we will celeb his b'day, so, I thought, let's make it a hush hush thing for him, and see if we could surprise him.Unfortunately, peggy lost her iphone the day before, and she had to ask kenny for my tel number (speaking of pple nowadays, we rely too much on address bk, that we hv no more manual phone book, or memorise the tel number lor! haha)well, one thing leads to another, and kenny was suspicious of the nite.They arrived finally at Keppel Bay's TCC, and i hv pre-arranged for the TCC's staff to present kenny his slice of b'day cake. Mango Mango....The rest of the nite was pigging out, catching up, and entertaining the two kids in the hse.I think the other customers in the cafe must have hated us, cos we were reaaaaaaally noisy.There were the eleven of us, and to speak to the person on the other end (on the long table), we had to read lips, fight with our frens' voice, and the ching chang sound of the plates and cutleries in the cafe.wow, this is a challenge.A pity I had not enuf space and time to catch up with the ladies....
 but im sure, we'll do it agn soon!Labels: Birthday, celebration, quality time, Surprise, tcc

My Blog stood still. But not us. We are still breathing.Too many backlogs, too little time....Last Dec, we attended bbJade's first birthday party. A pity we missed the cake cutting as livingstone had to work late.
bbTara dressed to theme, it was a minnie themed party.
a few of our frens had to leave early, so we had to chop chop for a group shot.
The star for the day...she was sleepy and tired by the time we arrived...
"Hurry, let's run with the balls before someone catches up!...Mommy, let's run together!"
caught by Aunty Felin...swing me as punishment...hur hur hur
Jade's first pair of shoes...
bbTara disturbing the guest...

It was an impromptu meetup. And we had yummy steamboat for dinner at Ngern's residence! HL thought peggy's b'day was round the corner, so wanted to celebrate the nov babies special day together. But it was way over. Since there was a mood for celebration, why not!?So i quickly arranged for the agar agar to be delivered to me before the impromptu party...sorry folks, not like I wanted this design, but it was like 'take it or leave it' kind of agony. If i dun accept this ready made agar agar, we will have no agar agar, and it will be plain old b'day cake. =)
three b'day candles for three nov babies!
not bad, they became the mix & match family! haha...
as we multiplied, there were now kids at our gatherings. Sometimes, I felt so aged...HAHApple, dun kill me! i noe im not the oldest... :pAnw, we are the mothers who will bring bb's toybox with us when we visit someone's hse.U rather they play quietly together then to ransack the hse for something they can play with isn't it?
 Trust us, its more convenient this way. =)Labels: agar agar, bbfrens, bbtara, Birthday, dessert, party, steamboat, Surprise

We were overwhelmed at the party by blessings, generous gifts & tokens, smiles, laughters, and most impt of all, ur presence.... =)
I hope for those who have attended the b'day party, u had fun mingling, eating and pple watching... haha...
sorry no. 1 --> We apologise if we couldn't spend quality time with u at the party, as we have only 1 mouth each....heh heh
sorry no. 2 --> for those that we couldn't invite....but the list gets longer and longer that we got to chop at somewea.... =(
A Big Thank You to you who partcipate in putting the event in order and of cos the bits and pieces...taking pictures, videos, singing the birthday song, clapping, playing, eating....blar blar blar....u noe, without u, this party wouldn't have made it. It's true, and its from the bottom of our hearts.
So, before I forget...let me put the event down in words so that in many many more years to come, bbTara will recall what we have prepared for her on her special day. =)
Dear Baby,
Mommy had a wonderful sumptious lunch at Aunty Meow's church wedding, and the deep impression lasted till the day we decided to celebrate ur b'day, the big scale way. So, we decided to use the same caterer.
Was so blessed that Uncle Kirk agreed to dress up ur line of food! With see-thru beverage container, and three tiers pastry trays! Yeah! Though mommy and daddy didnt eat the line of food, but we were equally glad that many pple told us the food was awesome!
Daddy wanted to make a backdrop for u. But has no idea what to print. So, one day, the idea struck Mommy -- to make u a cover baby for a magazine! So, I got down to the artwork, and viola! We hope u like it like we did. =)
There were so many kiddos attending ur b'day party, and Daddy and Mommy wanted to give them a place to play. So we went thru the hassle to find u a pool which we filled up with colorful balls and balloons. Your frens had so much fun tossing the balls and jumping in & out! The adults could drop their kids in there, and proceed for food! How apt. There were remarks from frens saying 'how come there were noise but no children running around?' And many frens love the cartoons on the wall, that they took it back when they left the party. =)
Besides all, Jiu Jiu came volunteered with making coffee for every guest possible! Mommy was so guilty bcos I forgot to ask him to fill his tummy first before he got down to work! How silly of me!!
Jiu Jiu ended up making 60 over cups of coffee yet having nothing to eat. =(
But, we made it up with giving him a treat a few days later.
Before the celebration, Mommy decided to plan the attire for our family, and viola! We were all dressed in pink, all matched with camouflage berms! And with that, Mommy decided to extend this creativity onto ur b'day cake!
Home baker Uncle William especially handmade the figurines for us (and it took him many days!). =)
As I noe I will be changing u into a brown dress for cake cutting, so this was what happen on top of a three-kg figure 1 cake.
Sorry baby, if u were expecting something fanciful, like a beautiful fondant cake, or tiered cake....but mommy and daddy think the traditional figure 1 will leave u a better impression when u grow up. We hope u like it, this cake is a gift from Yee Yee. =)
We were afraid that u will freak out when u saw the crowd standing in front of u, ready to sing u the song...but u pulled it off with smiles and cues that surprised us!
baby, look at the aunties and uncles that were there.....sharing our joy, celebrating with u as u turn 1 year old....these are all daddy and mommy's dear frens!
Two wet birthday kiss from us, Happy Birthday Darling!
Daddy is still trying to make u blow that candle....look at the smile and wink u had on ur face! u are so adorable in our eyes....
We cannot describe in words how major a milestone we have crossed with u as u turn 1, but baby, u brought us so much fun, tears, laughter, joy and of cos frustration sometimes thruout this twelve months, that we would never wanna trade with anything in the world.You have matured into a toddler after this celebration, technically speaking, you are no longer a 'baby', but, like what ah gong and ah ma (s) always say 'you will always be the baby in daddy and mommy's eyes'.Happy Birthday our Baby, may we be able to hold ur hands and complete the journey of parenthood so long as we all shall live.....Love,Mommy Labels: appreciative, bbtara, Birthday, cakes, Food, party, quality time, thoughts

We made it to our major milestone!Thank you ALL of u who made it to the party today, i noe some had appt and had to reshuffle it in order to attend the celebration. I appreciate ur effort! thank you once again.The party was considered a successful one, with positive compliments on the buffet line, and the lil' corner we setup for the kids so that the parents can have some time to themselves.A teaser to the fotos before I say gdnite....
The customised cake - I forsake every cartoon characters and had the three of us solely sitting on the figure 1 cake. I hope the most creative part was the attire, I had the attire planned and sent to the baker to mould the fondant figurine. Glad the figurine turned out beautiful!The cake could have been better if it wasn't this colorful though....Thanks to my sister, who proudly sponsered this cake!
 I have many pple to thank, for making this event successful !Let me catch some rest before I con't....gdnite everybody, sweet dreams.& Happy Birthday bbTara, 365days ago, exactly this time...mommy and daddy were in the delivery room waiting for ur arrival u noe.....the journey was amazing....we love u.Labels: appreciative, bbtara, Birthday, celebration, parenthood

If u ask me, I rather not step into the 30s club. hiak hiak hiak....anw...im there now. welcome me.thanks. =)So, I planned for the day....and I wanna go to the beach! it will be bbTara's virgin visit to the sandy beach! ah-ah....we didnt head to sentosa...my theme that day was 'North-East Day', so I suggested Punggol beach. Indeed a very nice place, clean sandy beach, with no crowds at all.
bbTara having fun with her beach toys!
Thank God, she was not afraid of sand at all! For I initially thought, she would dislike the texture....
she grabbed a handful of sand....and i love the way she explore the stuff....
 notice there aren't anybody at the beach besides us....
strolling baby....
love her expression on this pic!
the 1 hr on the beach was HOT! I was so engrossed with her activity, that i totally forgot to take off my singlet for a better tan! now I end up having two colors...damn....and bcos bbtara covered her body well with her swimming costume, she ended up having a tanned face and hand. haha... Anw, next, we proceeded to Anchorvale CC's swimming pool!!rem i mentioned 'North-East Day'....we had it all!
This public swimming pool feels like wild wild wet!! Awesome!
trust me....bbTara is very tired now as u can see...
 my lovely girl....
thanks Huggies! for the free swimmer sample we've gotten frm them! like how they market it, the diaper didnt swell in water....thumbs up!
For the fun we had in the morning till noon, bbTara fell into deep sleep for four hrs after the shower and lunch....
When she woke up, we con't our 'North-East Day' thingy, and proceeded to Urban Spoon for my birthday dinner....
look at how red her hands were!!
awesome drinks! I had some smoothie that resembles ultimate blend from coffeebean and livingstone had Ice Mochaccino....spot bbTara's drinking mug :)
these Jazzy wings were spicy but jin nice!!
the highly recommended crayfish laksa in pesto sauce....but it wasn't fantastic in my opinion.Too special for me, i would still prefer that traditional bowl of laksa gravy with taupok and all...
This was good for me! I expected the sauce to be similar to the jazzy wings...but I was surprised!the ribs were tender and juicy, now it made me drool....
my birthday tiramisu. yummy!!! trust me, as I savour the dessert, I could taste the effort of the chef! No kidding! very nice!
 and on this day, bbTara is blowing the candle together with me...my bb is growing.... =)30 is defintely just a figure. =)Labels: bbtara, Birthday, celebration, livingstone, parenthood, quality time, swimming
