Dear Esther,
1 year seems to passed by so quickly. It feels as if it was like yesterday when I first heard you cry. We didn’t really had a big celebration as both mummy and daddy was a bit occupied with some other things. But never the less, we still decided to throw you a little mini birthday party. Anyway, your Ah Ma came down to Kuching just to celebrate your birthday. You never seem to stop talking with Ah Ma, and of course you showed off on how you can master walking easily. Lol. Never the less, it’s all good.
Anyway, you woke up very early that day as usual. As mummy went down and prepared red eggs for you, while daddy went and get some noodles. All of us was very excited in preparing for your birthday. You are indeed one happy baby, not to mention that you couldn’t stop talking. Lol, I guess you are pretty excited yourself.
We went and ordered your cake last Sunday, and we had a hard time choosing your birthday cake. But fortunately for us, we had you to choose the cake for us. Yes, as we were flipping through the album you saw the picture of Winnie the Pooh, you began pointing to it and laughed. So assumed that you wanted that cake, even the workers there was impressed by you. You seemed to have this thing for Winnie the Pooh.
Ah Ma and daddy went and collected the cake just the day before, as we thought maybe your cake would be completed by then already. By the time daddy went into the cake shop, daddy saw your cake sitting in the freezer just waiting for us to come and collect it. Upon reaching home, mummy went and opened the box and see the cake you pointed to the cake and say “Bear, Bear”. Lol. And mummy told me that you also laughed at the cake, when you saw the picture of Winnie the Pooh eating berries.
So once that was all done, we all began to start preparing for your birthday that morning. Mummy took out the red eggs, and placed them near your table, while daddy was busy setting up the video camera, as well as the camera. Ah Ma was pretty much attending to you while both mummy and daddy tried to get ready everything. So once everything was set, it was time to sing Happy Birthday to you.
While we were singing, you were looking at each and everyone of us very closely wondering what is happening. Hahaha, never the less the expression on your face was priceless. Probably you might need to wait for daddy to convert the video first. After that, it was time to blow off the candle. I guess you were pretty smart at the very young age to not to play with fire. As mummy went and brought the cake near to you, you were frightened of it and wanted to run off. Lol, in the end it was mummy who ended up blowing off the candle for you. It was indeed a special moment as you have grown another year older. And how time does flies when we are with you.
Then it was time for you to cut the cake. Again I guess you are one smart baby as you didn’t really want to cut the cake. As you felt as if the knife was dangerous as you didn’t even want to hold it. Lol. It’s ok, as mummy was with you all the time to cut the cake for you.
Soon after that, it was photo taking time. You were attracted by the beeping sound of the camera which helped you to focus on the camera. Lol. Then it was time to makan. Both mummy and daddy ate a lot, while Ah Ma managed to eat your cake. Once that was over, mummy and daddy went and clear the place just before daddy went down to open the store.
That was pretty much about it, both mummy and daddy is very blessed to have you in our lives. As you have indeed painted a lot of colors of memories in our lives. Anyway, daddy will need to stop now as you are starting to blabber a lot. While mummy is talking to your Po Po. Until the next time. Happy Birthday, and May God continue to bless you always.
Loving you always,
Daddy
