Sep 10 - Evan's 4th yr old Birthday & Handsome Pageboy
As usual, we celebrate Evan's birthday at Changi Ah Gong house with all his cousins, Ah Gongs, NaiNai & all uncles aunties.
This yr i didn't bake his cake, i just bought him his favorite Toy Story character-Buzz Ice-cream cake from Swensen.... he likes the picture but not so much of his cake. Overall he enjoyed playing with all cousins & his favorite fire Sparkers.
18 Sept 10 was the 1st time for Evan to be pageboy/Ringbearer for his Auntie Stacy's wedding. He was excited & tense but he did well by walking down the aisle by himself. Well done my handsome prince.
Oct 10 - Sports day
This yr's Sports day was held under the void deck due to the rainny day. It was too small, hot & crowded to accomodate all the kids, parents & the space for the games. But all the kids still enjoyed all the games, cheerings & last of all receiving their medals!
Nov 10 - Papa Birthday & Evan's performance in Yr end Concert
So glad that all the childrens & grandchildrens can spent time together & celebrate my papa birthday.
On 13 Nov, I am so proud of my baby while watching him performed on the stage for the first time. Evan really did very well on stage, can remember all the steps & he was not stage fright at all. He looks like a little super star with the dressed up & make-up :D
However I didn't made it in time to show his photos to Auntie Cecilia. i have been very guilty for not being able to bring Evan visit her before she passed on & even before we can show her Evan's performance pic. Evan had been coughing since Oct so we didnt visit her for fear of passing virus to her as she was very weak after the liver transplant & complications etc. Hope she can rest in peace & i am sure she knows that Evan miss her a lot. Even yesterday when he got fever, i ask him where he wants to go when i go work, his reply is Auntie Cecilia house. I said to him jiejie Joyce & Grace need to work so nobody take care of you. but he still say "yes, auntie cecilia". This shows that he still miss her alot.
Dec 10 - Chrismas Bakes, Mom's Prayer & New Year Eve cum Anan Birthday
Dec is always a busy month for all. Busy with holidays, festive celebration & spring clean for new yr (not for me.. too busy to clean)
This yr end, we did not go for holiday but spent our X'mas here. i started busy getting all the gifts for the niece & nephews, making mashed potatoes, cheesecake & cupcakes on the eve of X'mas.
After the whole day of mashing, cutting & creaming using manual whip my both arms, hands were aching when my dearest hubby came back home with my big X'mas gift *KitchenAid Mixer*... my dream mixer that i have been considering buying after my Philips mixer died few mths back. I am so happy & started using it for my next batch of bakes on X'mas day itself.
We had the annual prayer for my mom on 26 & 27 Dec at Changi... was a blessing that these 2 days turned out to be a sunny day unlike X'mas day which was raining heavily in the afternoon. It was a down pour that even caused part of the canvas tentage torn & tons of water rashed & flooded towards the house leaving all the shoes & prayer stuffs all wet! Chinese saying "water=wealth"... but we still didn't strike 4D... haha
Thoughout the prayer on Mon, Evan behaved himself followed us walking around praying, kneeling, holding joss stick. He can be very irritating sometime for asking so same many questions again & again & again. Guess his reach the age to ask the "Thousand WHY WHY WHY" questions. All goes well with everybody's help including all my uncles & aunties, really a big thanks to them.
Finally New Year is here. We had BBQ & a cake for my niece for her belated Birthday. Apparently she has not been celebrating her birthday with us before so she was very shy when we brought out cake for her. My sis got to grab & drag her just to stand infront of her CAKE! Really hilarious. I took pics for her & realised she is very photogenic, looks very pretty.
2010 was not a good yr for me... heartbreaking for lossing my mom & Evan's dearest nanny, Auntie Cecilia, who had a long fight with her sickness from her liver failure, Evan went through his 1st dental surgery, fell sick often & still coughing now since last 2 mths. So hope 2011 will be a much better Year for us.
