My 1st Birthday!!!

My 1st birthday was celebrated on 16 February 2008 (Saturday), the 10th day of 2008 lunar new year, though my actual day is on 28 February.

Mummy woke up early that morning to start the birthday preparation whilst daddy and I had a good sleep until 9.30am. It was a beautiful morning and couple with good sleep, i started the day with bright smile, which mummy hope is a good omen for my birthday celebration at night.

Mummy bathed me and let me wear the dark pink bumwear cloth diaper first time! She was pleased to see i did not flip here and there and looks comfy when she put on the bumwear on me, unlike when she tried to put on disposable diaper on me:


We went to Jusco as Da Yi and Da Yi Zhang will come from Sg at 11am and meet us at the Jusco. They had their breakfast at a coffee shop inside jusco shopping centre, then started to shop for some last minute items for the birthday, like the blue tag, some more goodies bags, tissue papers etc. They were disappointed not able to find a shop which sell helium gas for the balloons. After we met with Da Yi and Da Yi Zhang, we went back home first whilst daddy drove to another place for helium gas. See the bikes Da Yi and Xiao Yi bought for me as a birthday pressie. Isn't it nice? I love it soooo much!


Mummy and Da Yi started vacumning and mopping the floor once we back home, with Da Yi Zhang took care of me. They praise me good gal, as unlike other time, i did not fuss and cry for mummy to carry when they were busy. By 2pm, mummy brought me to bedroom for my afternoon nap.

The adults busy decorating the house with the banners and decorative stuff mummy bought online. Mummy is particularly pleased with a birthday backdrop she bought from another mummy from the forum. Daddy finally managed to get the 2 mylar balloons and 17 other balloons pumped at a price of RM61. To make sure our guest can find their way to our house, Da Yi and Da Yi Zhang brought 10 pink balloons and a card board written with "Yunxi's birthday please follow pink balloons" to tie on the lamp posts leading to our house (later we found out just that evening alone, more than 10 houses having parties...).

All this while i was sleeping and only woke up close to 6pm. Yi Po, Yi Zhang and Jia Han jiu jiu had already arrived from Sg. Mummy quickly prepared my dinner and bathed me afterwards.

Mummy dressed me in a red micky mouse dress and a dark pink robeez shoes! Finally i can wear shoes! Do i look pretty in my birthday dress and shoes?

At close to 9pm, we sang the birthday song. Seeing so many people surrounding the table. I was a bit scared and wouldn't stand on the chair. So mummy got to carry me while singing the birthday song and blowing the candle.


It's my birthday! So mummy cut a small piece of cake for me to eat. See how i enjoy eating the cake!


The kids were having a good time playing the balloons and the glow bracelets:


We got to enjoy fireworks which our neighbours were playing as it was the 10th day of chinese new year. Most of the guests stays until after 11pm. Daddy was busy entertaining his friends throughout the party until no time to even carry or play with me. :(

There are quite a lot of leftover of food and cake. Mummy is thankful that Wai Po and Jiu Jiu they all helped her to distribute the remaining food to bring back and helped her to tidy the mess.

My original birthday party dress which mummy planned for me. But she felt it was too plain so later changed to the more vibrant red dress for me. I got to wear this dress the next day after the party when I attend Ke Yan gougou's birthday party:
