Archie Turns 1!

6th March 2011! The day Archie turns 1!

As usual, he wakes up early like any other day. We left him in his playpen together with his birthday banner while we get ready to his birthday party venue.

He seemed pretty pleased with his banner.

Aunt Jen & Grand Aunt Marg came over to help us bring the party stuffs over, as well as babysit them.

No more bottle!

Sarah pee-ed into the toilet bowl in school today!

below is a video taken and uploaded by sarah's school.

I am one!

our girl sarah turns one today, on the 3rd of June 2009.

both of us took half day leave so that we could spend sometime alone with her. mama flo brought an awfully chocolate cake to her school. the cake was also a token of appreciation from us to the care givers for taking good care of sarah.



sarah was abit surprised to see us so early in the day, she immediately wanted the attention of her mother. she was quite cranky and refused to sit down in the baby chair as she wanted mama flo to carry her, however, the flickering flame on her birthday candle soon caught her attention.
sarah's friend, eudora seems very excited and wanted to help in the celebration as well! mean while, sarah just couldnt take her eyes off the candle!
after blowing out the candle, we managed to gather the care givers and fellow babies to take this cute shot.
this is the birthday present given to sarah by the management of her school, inside it is a cute hand kitten puppet.


after we left school, we headed over to SAF Yacht Club for some snacks and drinks. sarah was deliberating over what to order, she was very serious and gave a stern look while 'reading' the menu.

it was a perfect day to go the yacht club, even though the weather was humid, the strong sea breeze totally blew away the heat and humidity. being a week day, there was no crowd at the cafe, we had the entire outdoor area to ourself.

sarah was very excited to see the sea, and was captivated by the rythmic sound of the waves breaking up against the embankment beneath us.
out of the sudden, she started 'ahhhhhing' away in the direction of the sea. wonder where she learned that from? its as if she is under alot of stress and had alot grievances to let out!

she seems to always put up a struggle whenever daddy carries her? not a very popular father i guess.
the one thing that will always capture the attention of sarah, food!




sarah enjoying the sea breeze in her face, and letting her hair flying all over
doing a dental check for mama?
after eating, mama flo was recharged, so she took sarah walking around the deck.
look at that cheeky little face!
after we got bored of the deck area, we ventured out to the pier for more photoshooting opportunities. i have not taken so many photos ever since my wedding photo shoot!
seems like sarah doesnt like her daddy to talk? thus the hand over the mouth gesture, actually daddy was playing with sarah by blowing air onto her palm, which she enjoyed and kept coming back for more.
mama flo toning her biceps,
sarah 'either the sky is spinning or my head is spinning'

sarah enjoys every opportunity to walk, regardless of time or place.

she can walk forever, after she tired out mama, the 'baton' was passed on to daddy and the walkaton continues...

after we got 'sea sick', we teleported ourselves over to ikea for more horsing around.

mama couldnt resist putting this towel hood onto sarah. she was in a very good mood, normally she wouldnt allow us to put anything over her head.
see, i didnt lie, we really went to ikea to 'horse' around, or moose around actually!

there were alot of crazy party hats lying around, which meant mama had to put them on for sarah..


we finally pushed her patience to the limit! she didnt want any more things on her head!

we had our dinner at chalk, a restuarant on mt sophia, they had a relatively good ambience, but the nice quiet ambience was soon destroyed by noisy sarah. she even managed to draw a few angry stares from the adjacent table!

overall a fun day for the family, don't reckon she can remember a thing. these photos will help refresh her memory when she looks back next time.

Sarah's First Birthday Party

Sarah held her first birthday party on Saturday, 30th May 2009. its actually four days before her birthday, the reason for the early party, was because her birthday happens to fall on a weekday, so it would be quite impossible for us to do a party for her.

there she is, posing with the balloons before the guests started arriving!
the double bubble balloon was her favourite, we even brought it home after the party.
she seems to enjoy driving, grandma, grandpa, mama and gugu all fed coins to the machine so that she could prolong the joy ride!
thats mama, always trying to doll up sarah regardless of location.
she had enjoyed herself in the pool of balls, as did her friends, jaythan and jayvier.

these are sarah's little friends that made time to attend her party,







hiro rushed down to the party just for sarah! what a great pal!

this is the pinata that mama searched high and low for,


in the end, despite the valiant efforts of jaythan, who tried his best, the pinata was still in tact. so sarah's godpa, stanley, had the honour of breaking the pinata into two! but once the pinata broke, the kids all rushed happily towards the candies which were raining from the pinata.

the unveiling of sarah's first birthday cake, which had taken on a garden concept, the no.1 was depicted as the blue/green sky. the girl sitting on the lawn is sarah and our two dachshunds clubbie and chacho, are in the garden as well!

being the ever gracious host, sarah was sending off her guests with hugs at end of her party.



many thanks to all the friends and relatives who took time out to attend sarah's party!

a big thank you to 'uncle' and godpa stanley for their help!
