All About Your Child

Keatkeat’s 8th birthday was great in every way, his many wishes came true this year. Though his birthday is on 2nd of November every year, the celebration actually starts on 1st November. This year, his birthday celebration was even extended to 6th November. *smile*

1st November lunch at Pizza Hut:
Keatkeat loves the Hawaiian Pizza at Pizza Hut, but Allan and I are not Pizza Hut fans, so because of that my boys hardly get to eat at Pizza Hut. But because it was his pre-birthday celebration, we went but only the boys ate. Oh well, our purpose is to make him happy, but it does not mean we need to ‘sacrifice‘ (don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with Pizza Hut, just that we prefer to go elsewhere for our pizzas). Allan and I still get to eat a hearty noodles meal at the hawker center. *smile* So everyone was happy. *thumbs up*

1st November dinner at Tony Romas:
IT WAS MAGICAL!!!
Keatkeat has seen magicians performed in the past, but for the first time, Keatkeat PARTICIPATED in it. It felt like as if we had hired a personal Magician for Keatkeat’s birthday celebration. *Super Grin*

And the birthday boy gets to keep the ‘magical poker card‘ as a birthday gift. *smile*

12 Midnight Cake Cutting:
He missed his choo-choo train cake. So we ordered it again. The previous time he had that choo-choo train cake was on his 5th Birthday. He said: “This time, I want a different design, but the toy train must be on my cake.”

 Then it was unwrapping presents time after gobbling down his cake….

He is going Crazy over 'Gogos', so I bought him the Album to start his collection.

Keatkeat has always wanted a gun for his birthday ever since his bro had one. So his dream came true this year. Thank you Yi-Bak and Yi-Bak-Leong

2nd November: A day in Malaysia
Well, it was his dream to celebrate his birthday overseas. To him, Malaysia is good enough. After school, we went straight to our neighbour-country, a day of shopping fun and ended it at his latest favourite Seafood Restaurant: “Tian Lai Seafood Restaurant in Johor Bahru”

If you remember the picture of the note above, Keatkeat’s future uncle-in-law would be giving him an ice-cream workshop as a birthday gift on 6th November. Thus will do a separate post on that later….

Happy 8th Birthday Keatkeat!

Happy 8th Birthday Keatkeat!

Today is the best day to post this. As I recall what it was like on this day in 2003. Contractions started. My first child was giving signals that he was ready to meet me in person.

When the clock strikes 12 in less than 5mins, we would be saying “Happy 8th Birthday, Keatkeat”

My future bro-in-law had this ‘old’ video of Keatkeat when he was 2 years old and the recording dated: 3/23/2006 12:55am

There was this short period of time when Allan and I used to sell handphone casing and accessories. The moment we decided to remove that product from our retail list, those leftovers became Keatkeat’s toys.

And because we often end our retail business after 10.30pm, have our quick late dinner, which I usually call it ‘dinper’ (dinner + supper), drive to my in-law’s place to pick up my boys before we head home; by then, its usually after 12midnight.

So its not surprising at all that this video was taken at 12.55am.

The quality of the video may seem horrible now, but I am thankful that during that time, video on phone was made possible. Or else we would not be able to view my cute first born in action again this day.

Thank you future bro-in-law! *Grin*
