Happy Birthday to Valerie!

Valerie is 4 today! As we didn't pre-order any cakes for her school we went to purchase 2 1kg cakes for her. We got this from Jack's Place (pretty last minute I must say). The kids were very excited as it's TWO and not ONE cake. I guess the kids only goes by quantum rather than size.

:p

Here are some pictures taken

But poor birthday girl didn't managed to eat her cake :( She kept insisting she wanted the choc cake but as she has phelgm and is allergic to choc, one mouth is all it takes to send her coughing (the choc mousse is quite rich btw). In the end she vomited out that single bite she took and after that she didn't want to eat the cakes anymore. :(

In the evening, we brought her to Swensen's to have her free Birthday Firehouse and she attacked the scoop of choc ice cream immediately! Luckily it didn't cause her to cough much. :p

Happy birthday Valerie! I hope you did enjoy yourself! (I shall leave out the part about you throwing tantrums on you birthday :p)

Happy Bday Mom

Today is my birthday. While approaching this day, I kept wondering if Nigel will choose to be born today as well. Some of my friends, even my sis, thought that it would be nice to have your son sharing your birthday.. but somehow I prefer that each of us have our own birthday :p

It was a rainy day, which wasn't what I was looking forward to. But nonetheless we have 'plans' for today. 1) We are going to buy the ice cream cake from Swensen's as I have 20% off; 2) We are going to watch the fireworks at Kae Lip's office and 3) Get and free sundae from Swensen's.

I wasn't 100% sure about the free sundae thingie so I sms around but none gave me a concrete answer. Searching Swensen's website is of no use too coz it wasn't stated. Just before lunch, we headed to Swensen's in PP to buy the ice cream cake. There, I verified with the staff at if it's ur birthday, you'll get a free Birthday Firehouse and it's applicable to both kids AND adults. Hurray!

While at Swensen's we asked Val to pick the cake and she picked the choc cake (*yummy*). Once back home, she asked to eat the cake (which we originally wanted to eat only tomorrow). It's really hard to say 'no' to her coz she was anticipating the cake since we reached Swesen's so we told her to finish her lunch 1st. Once she finish her lunch, she skipped to us and announced "I finish my lunch already".. so.. no choice, we cut a slice for her, as promised.

Come dinner, we went to Swensen's at PP (again!). This time to have dinner and get my free Birthday Firehouse. She had be mee-sua before coming out so she's full and all ready to eat up the ice cream. Thankfully Swensen's supply some drawings and free colour pencils so that kept her bz for a while.

When the Firehouse finally came, Valerie sang birthday song... to herself! hahaha. Once we blew the candle, the 1st thing she 'attacked' on the sundae was... the WHIPPED CREAM! hahaha The ice cream taste great but the whole event meant more to me than anything. It's a simple celebration of sorts and I enjoyed every single moment of it :)

Ultimately we didn't go see the fireworks as it was a wet day and the rest of the gang decided to go KTV rather than Kae Lip's office, so we headed home after PP to chill out.

Simple birthday, but very memorable still :)

Happy birthday Grandma!

Today is MIL's birthday. DH's eldest & 3rd sister (and their family) came by to celebrate. DH bot a blackforest cake from Royals (for the kids) and see how happy those kids were? Valerie is exceptionally happy coz she had cake AND ice cream today! The cake was so tasty that she asked for a 2nd helping!

When DH was busy taking all the pictures, he said to me "Wouldn't it be nice to grow old and celebrate birthday with ur children & grandchildren?". And I couldn't agree more.

Birthday Song..

It's quite over-due but it's because I seemed to have some problems attaching video. Happy watching!

Celebration in CC

This is Val's celebration in the childcare. Had it on her actual birthday. The cupcakes are just pretty! Anne was the cutest by telling the teachers "Valerie's mommy make cake!" Hahaha.. kids are so cute at times.

Valerie is 3!

Today is Valerie's lunar birthday (4YO in chinese terms). I ordered the Pretty in Pink from roomfordessert for her 2 weeks back. Went around trying some cakes (tried obolo) but eventually decided on roomfordessert (this is 3 in a row!) since HB liked their choc-banana cake. I didn't order the choc-banana this time round coz I thot better to try out their flavours rather than stick to one.

I didn't eat the cake on the actual day coz I had been down with viral flu for more than a week and just started on antibiotics. Was really feeling quite terrible but thankfully managed to enjoy the dinner without much hiccups.

Wow.. Valerie is now three... how time flies!
