Keira Eliza Turns 2!

The day has come!! Our little girl turned 2 years old at exactly 11.25pm today. 

At 24 months, she's already given us the happiness to last our lifetime by just being the super awesome little being that she is. She has grown twice as adorable and precious too, don't you think?

Happy 2nd Birthday to the queen of our hearts!


This birthday was not as lavish as her 1st birthday celebration, as we only had a cake and ordered tons of pizza, coupled with a multiple "happy birthday" singalongs - all done at home with just our immediate family. Even then, her 2nd birthday party was filled with just as much love from our entire household. Most importantly, she has a blast cos all the attention was zoomed in on her! :)

There are so many things she loves, Minnie Mouse, Hi-5, WWE, Care Bears, balls, anything pink... Since we have baby #2 coming on the way, and in August last year (when we were in Hong Kong to visit my paternal family) Kevin had made us personalized Liverpool jerseys (with our first names and the number 7 - our lucky number), so it was not hard to settle on a "soccer ball" cake for this birthday so that we can also wear our Liverpool jerseys. We did not know of baby #2 then, so the personalized jerseys are somewhat exclusive to the three of us. And what better timing to do it than this birthday. Next year's birthday, she will be celebrating it together with her adik.

Since my uncle bought her a red 'birthday gown' and gave it to her in the last minute to wear when blowing out her candles, we figured we'd start her off with the dress for a proper birthday for a young lady, then change her into her personalized football jersey for the cake cutting. That way, everyone wins!

Here are some shots of the three of us!





 

Here's Keira with the rest of the family! :)
 


 


She had tons of presents and loved them all. Not only from family; a few of our close friends dropped off some pressies for her too, remembering that it was her birthday! How sweet of all you guys... Thanks everyone :)





Then, it was time to open her presents!

  

 





The night would not be complete if we did not at least try to get a good shot of the three of us from the back so that our names and lucky number can be seen. The only way to get her to remain quiet is to put her amongst her new presents. It was definitely NOT an easy task, but we did it in the end. Check out the snapshots below!

Mom Turns 60!

February 5, 2015 was a memorable date for us as my mom turned 60! 

But because it fell on a Thursday, we had to postpone the surprise bash for her to the Saturday of the coming weekend - February 7, 2015. On the actual day, we just bought her a cake and sang her happy birthday, and left it at that.

To make it more meaningful, Kevin, Keira and I hosted the small surprise dinner for her at ParkRoyal Penang in Batu Ferringhi where we had secretly invited immediate family members to attend. 

From the first time she tasted the food of Saturday buffet spread at Parkroyal Penang many years back, my mom had always wanted to go back there. The lobsters were to die for! 

So we figured what better timing to take her back there than on her 60th birthday!

So secretly, Kevin and I booked a few tables at the Tamarind Brasserie a few days before her birthday and had some decos of balloons etc stashed away secretly awaiting the evening of the dinner. She was indeed very surprised!!! 

 
  
  









Happy birthday mum! Be careful what you wish for this year cos your wish from last year has already came true! :)
