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.

to the market! to the market!

continuing from the previous post, after her birthday party, both sarah and papa were so tired that both of them slept at 7pm that very night!

needless to say, both of them woke up very very early on sunday morning, papa woke up at 430am and sarah at 6am. the two of them started yakking and playing away, waking up poor mama. since the whole family was up and about, we decided to bring forward our trip to chinatown market.

papa excitedly suggested making the trip via the newly opened circle line which was at our door step. so the 3 of us + granny left the house at 7am and slowly swaggered towards the marymount station.

our little princess was pursing her lips as we pushed her out of the house, in her royal pram.

the lovely cutesy outfit that she was wearing, was her birthday present from her aunt jen. aunt jen dotes on sarah alot, and we couldn't have done her birthday party without her help!

sarah making sure that there was no stragglers, by constantly checking behind her.
she was still pursing her lips when we reached the pedestrian crossing, after we had marched for about 200metres.
another 250m to go, the station is further than we thought!

when we reached marymount mrt station, we were greeted by a totem CCTV cameras, standing proudly outside the station? big brother is watching!
theres even a cctv screen at the turnstile to let you know that you are being watched!
we waited a short while at the almost deserted platform, there was only 1 other passenger besides us.

mean while, sarah was still pursing her lips!
after a short 5 mins wait, an empty train rolled in and sarah picked a seat beside granny.
inconsiderate sarah standing up on the seat and dirtying it with her shoes, will we see her in stomp?


after that she went to play at the holding bar and did some pole dancing!

we got off at serangoon interchange to hop onto the NEL going to chinatown. the walk from the CCL to NEL wasn't near but was not as terrible as the labyrinth otherwise known as dhoby ghaut.

sarah and mummy 'walked' hand in hand towards the next platform.

after a good 40mins, we finally arrived at chinatown!
there were so many things to see at the chinatown market, great variety of cheap fresh food.

mama took sarah along and taught her the ropes of wet market bargaining, like how to propose package deals such as 'buying chilli and gettting free spring onions thrown in' .
and thus sarah conquered chinatown!

to the market! to the market! we didnt buy a fat pig though, but we got a fat pomfret which we steamed and ate happily for lunch!
