15 Apr 10 ~ My First Birthdae!

It's my birthday!!! Like, finally finally FINALLYYYY.

Daddy told me that actually his and Mummy's colleagues wanted to have a huge birthday bash for me with a big number one cake and everything. I'm not too sure what the bash part means, though. It sounds a little violente.

Aniway, the parentals wanted to keep it a small warm family gathering instead (alldough I wouldn't call our family gatherings SMALL) so they just ordered a whole lot of food to cover our entire mah-mam table and invited our relatives over.

Por Por Susan and Uncle Daniel came from out-of-town (KL)...

The grand-uncles and grand-aunts came from uptown (home/school)...

The gu-gus and shu-shus came from downtown (work)...

And then after dinner (I was playing in the room while they ate outside because I was abit overwhelmed by everything...the house was SoosoOoo noisy! People talking, TV showing Ninja Turtles or Ninja Warriors or dono what, unfamiliar faces peppered among the more familiar family faces..), Mummy and the gu-gus got really excited in the kitchen, making a big whoo-haa.

Someone was carrying me, but from behind. And very SILENTLY, I might add. She never once turned me around to face her and when we stood in front of the mirror, she would hide her face behind me so I couldn't see who it was. So I gave up and just looked around and joined in the clamor.

I heard muffled squeals from the kitchen and there were camera flashes and excited voices..

And then everyone started singing very loudly, "happiiii birthdaeee tew yuuuuu!"...

And I realized they were all looking at me...

And then Mummy came walking out from the kitchen, flanked by the two gu-gus, carrying something...

And they all turned to look at her..

And then I saw...

MY CAKE.

Isn't it c-u-t-e-?-?-?

Someone strapped something on top of my head - I think it was Uncle Daniel cause he was shouting the loudest that "Avril's birthday so she must wear hat!"

Then we posed to take pics of the cake.

And everyone got busy eating it.

And then everyone got tired.

So everyone got ready to go home.

And then just as they started to walk out the door... they remembered that I had not yet opened -

MY BIRTHDAE PREZENTS!!!

So they all trooped back in, and sat around and let me choose which one I wanted to open first.

There were so many colorful prezents!

Soft toys!

And a rabbit book!

And a strawbewi shortcake dress!

And a rashguard!

And and ..

Ok lar, I better not say everything I got or else all my fwens might get jealous.

All in all, I had an awesome birthdae!

I feel so loved by Mummy and Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa and Por por, and everyone....and I even got wishes on Facebook by my friends! *happy*

Don't try to bully me, I am a big gal already, OK?

I am ONE YEARS OLD.

Just one Step at a Time ~ 8 Feb 10

Da-Shu David just stepped into the house back from his business trip! When I let him carry me, he was so so happi. He had a lot of strange smells on him cause he just got back from the airport.

We took several pics together while waiting to go out for dinner.

Then he wanted me to show him how I can stand already. I threw in a few jumps for good measure.

When he carried me, there was something hard pressing at my arm, so I turned around to check what was it. It was some funny leather thing in his pocket. I tried and tried to pull it out but it was stuck! :(

I lurve Mummy!

Oh, and Da-Shu David also gave me a coaching lesson. Here's the video if you want to see - Lesson One in the Art of Graceful Walking!

PS. I'm turning one year old in less than a week! Yippie!!!
