Melody’s First B’day Celebration

and, its melody’s first birthday… we’ve booked a chalet at the chevron to celebrate her first birthday with our family members… it isn’t an easy 365 days for both melody and us… but we’re happy being able to manage so far… after all, the effort are well paid off with a cutie like melody…

the chevron chalet is really a great catch with a really huge double storey chalet, BBQ pit, swimming pool and many other facilities… all at an affordable price and whats best, its at the west side… no longer the need to travel to the east for chalets… :P

megan had fun ‘exploring’ the chalet…

 

 

next up, we hit the pool… that will also be melody’s first ever dip…

 

 

megan absolutely has not problem on the pool, in fact, she almost ventured onto the deep pool when we’re not watching… ( – . – |||)

 

melody is a little reserve at first when she hit the waters… she’s a little cautious splashing the water and moving around…

 

but in only a short while… all rule break loose for melody… no fear…

 

 

in fact, i think the fear is instill mainly on us… we’re so afraid of her toppling on her little float…

 

 

and megan… no problem at all! after all, as she always says “i’m not a baby, I’m 3 years old already!”

 

another almost topple stunt by melody when we’re trying to snap a shot of her…

 

 

 

but whats most important… the kids are having lotsa fun… this is the family moments that i’ve been missing for so long…

 

 

after a long tiring swim, we slowed down the pace by placing the kids at the kid’s play room where they can roam freely on the carpeted floor and the toys around… and also, while waiting for the burning event… BBQ!

 

and finally, melody’s first birthday cake… and melody’s ‘best friend’ hello kitty came to celebrate!

 

and its a really huge and thick 2kg cake for 14 of us…

 

the birthday girl with her first birthday cake… when we showed megan this photo, megan exclaimed ‘melody didn’t fall from the table!’… oh ya, where’s megan? she’s fast asleep upstairs, totally knocked out from the tiring day… she missed melody’s first birthday celebration!

 

here’s some photos to share!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as you can see, melody is getting cranky as the photo shoot goes on… time to light up her first candle!

 

 

happy first birthday my dear melody…

4/4

不知不觉, 又一年了.

Somehow, another 365 days flew by. My 33th year had so far brought me further and higher with the new life challenges for having lesser energy and more to do...

The more birthdays I had, the less I felt it's about me... Or rather, at times, prefer to ignore the fact that I'm older on this day... :P

4/4, and 4 ladies I'll like to compliment on this day...

4/4/77. The lady whom carried me for 9 months and giving birth to me on this day. Yes, that's my mum. Thanks mum...

4/4/97. The lady whom started marking 4/4 as a most important date on her calendar since 1997... Thanks dear, for making 4/4 so much special for the past 15 years, and many more to come... Love ya muchie!

4/4/08. The lady whom gave me the best b'day gift I can ever get, by giving birth to our first daughter, Megan! And yes, also making 4/4 even more special, Megan shares the same birth day and month with me! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my love. You made daddy's day super special on this day, this month, this year onwards... You dun know how much daddy love you too, as adequately as how u replied me, '5'... I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!

4/4/11. Today, it's getting specialer cuz there's another lady, or rather girl, whom celebrates my birthday for the first time. That will be my second daughter, Melody... Daddy's saying the same '5' to you too, I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!

And of course, all the friends and relatives' well wishes too... Thanks for taking part in making the first day of my 34th age, a special one... 

how right i was,

that the lack of blog updates had seen us thru the various events that i last mentioned in my previous post… march had been another not so easy month for us, especially when melody was admitted to the hospital due to UTI…

poor melody was having high fever for a few days before we decided that its not those ordinary teething kind of fever, and sent her to the KKH and once again, she was admitted…

and this stay, landed us 4 days, with melody being ‘poked’ all over her limbs for the blood test and administer of antibiotics… that poking part, took more than 45 minutes in the treatment room, with us outside, hearing her screams and cries… helplessly…

nevertheless, she recovered, and no more fever… but was given tubes of antibiotic to last her till may before her follow up… and i really meant tubes of antibiotics…

 

that event, totally brought me downright depressed for being a parent… and i had to share to all of the fact that, behind every smiling happy child, there’re the tired and exhausted parents… so, love and treasure your parents, it not easy being one…

 

 

anyway, i think all who visited my facebook, should already seen the photos that i took of megan’s first homework… but hey, i rarely got a chance to take out my dslr to ‘fire’ away, and so got to bear with my trigger happy fingers eh? and here it goes again…

 

 

 

 

as for melody, she is growing well, and had more teeth and starting to stand with support…

this photo here is a little outdated, cuz now she got 4 teeth!

 

despite the tiredness and exhaustion, i really love these kids of mine cuz they type of joy they had given me is something that i never had before… 

but then again, it will be better if parenting can be easier… haiz… :P

(P/S: wonder when’s my next post…)
