When we were dating, we used to have "special" birthday celebration. After we got married, both of us were packed with workload and of course, with our newborn baby, Li Syuen. As a novice parents, we learnt from a to z all about parenthood. Birthday celebration no longer a significant memory for the both of us. We kept it real simple, with just a meal together, blowing off the candles on the cake. Every year is the same, the only difference is the venue, types of cake and not forgetting the addition of our family members (Syuen and Ning).
This year, not to say to make it a memorable or significant birthday celebration but a celebration more involving my two little monkeys. We decided to make a birthday card for Oscar. I browsed a few website and finally found this HP Creative Studio http://h30393.www3.hp.com/printing/app/us/en/consumer/photo-borders.aspx
This is the birthday card done by us. Li Ning chose the card and Li Syuen chose the photo.
The inside of the birthday card, Li Syuen wrote her name and Li Ning stamped her thumb print.
Then, we secretly went out to buy the gift. This is a good time for both girls to think and decide. At first, Li Syuen chose an Angry Bird toy for Oscar then, I asked her "Is this for you or for daddy?" She smiled and put it back. After much discussion, we decided to buy a zip file which was chosen by Li Ning.
Li Syuen chose a lovely gift wrapper, with many colourful heart-shapes.
And the two little monkeys chose their own "gift" too.
We had our secret mission done in the office while Oscar was outstation.
Early in the morning, both girls presented the card and gift to their daddy while I stood by to capture the MOMENT. Daddy was surprised and overjoyed, with his broad-width smile. Too bad, my skill is not good enough..I didn't on the flash!!! The photo turned out to be like this.
Then, they posed for a nicer picture.
Hubby is so surprised and overjoyed!
A very last minute decision, we dined out at Oh Sushi, De Garden. This is my all-time favourite, soft crabby!! And my naughty Syuen can't wait to take the first bite!!
Simply love this photo...
She thought that I didn't notice..she was trying to tear the seaweed! Hahahaha..
Black Pepper Chicken Set, ordered by Oscar.
I ordered Terriyaki Chicken & Tempura Set.
Coconut Sorbet ordered for both girls. Too bad that the cocoa sorbet was out of stock!
Enjoying her sorbet so much!
End this chapter with a photo of Li Ning and I. :)
