happy birthday to me and megan!

this is going to be a long post… let me touch on the decorations first. we were scratching our heads on where to hold megan’s first birthday celebration, and finally selected to have the celebration held at our place… and in order to make it not boring, we decided to give our place a face-lift… using some paper cuttings transforming boring walls to a colourful one…

 

 

 

 

 

printed out b&w photos of megan and put it up on a wall… and it looks cool…

and of course, some balloons…

and a banner right at the entrance…

and the little scrapbook that i did for megan…

 

and the party packs for the kids…

 

and over the past few days, megan is so interested in the new decorations we put up on the walls, and we constantly got to “megan, no!”

 

finally, its our birthday! and in the early morning, we went over to my parents’ place to pray to ancestor… and my parents prepared a little 捉周 session…

first, she took the calculator…

then the pen…

then the dictionary…

i’m as confused as megan… as to why picking up 3 items instead of 1 neh?? and its some kind of ‘guided choice’ where my parents would somehow ‘point’ megan to the ‘right direction’ towards the calculator… hmmm…

 

anyway, time to reveal megan’s cake (that she choose herself)…

the buffet, once again, from neo gardens… my guests are getting sick of seeing neo garden buffet… haha

 

and in a moment later, guests being to pour in and i got no time to snap photo… thank goodness WQ is kind enuff to help out with the photographing… here we go, highlight of the day:

and hey, i got a cake too! joelle’s planning this cake for me secretly… hee…

 

 

the guest book, that will go into megan’s scrapbook…

 

we actually intended to do a modern 捉周 session with our guests, but megan seems too overwhelmed by the eventful day and gets a little cranky… and so, we did the 捉周 session ‘behind closed door’ when everyone leaves for the day…

and it seems, megan simply 捉 alot of items… in fact, almost all the items she go and take… <faint>

 

in the end, we concluded that the item she hold on to for the longest time will be the final item… and it turned out to be… the colour pencil! ok, an artist to be? creative nature?

 

and at the end of the day… the most exciting part is to unwrap the wonderful presents! look at megan, wondering whats inside this box…

and whats inside the other box…

alrighty, lets see… first on the list… omg, tigger!!

 

hey look! anther tigger!!!

and many more of these too…

lets look at megan’s tigger collection!

 

 

phew… what a tiring day… in fact, i’m having a tiring day 1 year ago too! omg, i really got to turn in soon, so very the tired… thanks to all for your well wishes… and to our guests, thanks for taking the time to share this precious day with us, we hope we can be a better host… :)
