Preparation for Xuanlin 1st Birthday

Refer to my earlier post me and hubby decide not to have any party for xuan lin 1st birthday. But since it is my princess 1st birthday i decided to put in some effort in it. Going to make it simple but special day for her. Well, my planning was to go for buffet dinner with family at either furama riverfront or swissotel merchant court on the 04 April (Sat). On the actual day me and hubby will be on leave. So was thinking to have a simple decoration at home and buy some food back for dinner and follow by a simple cake cutting ceremony....

As for cake i did surf net and do some comparsion between ordering from cake shop or online.

After getting quote here and there. Bengawan solo 1kg minnie design cake @ $45. The rest of them provide nice design but min order is 2kg and above which i find it too big for us and price range from $80-$200 depending on design and sizes. Personally i like fondant cake as compare to normal fresh cream cake and price definitely will be more ex. Well i have finalise my design with jess from http://www.cupcakedivinity.blogspot.com/. Theme of the cake will be winnie the pooh theme. Cos winnie the pooh is xuanlin's idol mah. I really hope that the cake turn out to be what i want and more importantly taste good ;) Design wise will be something like the pic shown.

Valentine Day Shoot @ Foto-U

As usual normal saturday to me and hb. Cause we don't celebrate this occasion even before we get married. The only itinery is photoshooting. I signed up the $38 vday promo package provide by foto-u. My appointment with them is from 1.30-2pm. Early in the morning i choose 3 sets of clothes for xuan lin & 2sets for me & hb. We took a cab down to joo chiat and when to one of the coffeeshop for lunch. We was there early and got to wait for another family to finish their shooting. Overall was a pleasant shooting by David Lim. But find that they don't have much setting & props to use. But what to expect hor... $38 only. Subsquently after the shooting is we feed xuanlin in the makeup room and she fall asleep after her milk. The package include:-

1. 30 Minutes sessions.

Happy 牛 Year 2009

This CNY is very special to me and hubby cos we have xuan lin with us. Past yr we can slowly schedule to do abit of house cleaning every week. But nw we can't cause hb need to do shift work and only me with xuan lin really a chores to do all by myself. We can only do cleaning when xuan lin is cooperative. Wonder how can we do it if we have #2 and #3?!!!

We will be having early reunion dinner with my family on 24 January at Peony Jade and eating steamboat with hb's family on 25 January. HB will be working 24hrs shift on 3rd day of lunar new yr and me starting work on the 4th day.

Anyway 1st day as usual go to parent place to "pai nei". 2nd day go hb's godparent place for lunch. Xuan lin is very happy, excitied and tiring these few day. Cause she don't get to nap and every nite when we reach home after milk she will go to her la-la land...that is where me and hb got time together :))

Mummy bought her very 1st LV bag

Mummy bought a LV Damier Neverfull MM bag online. This bag has not launch in spore. Can only found in USA, Japan & Hawaii. Only the LV monogram print can find in spore, which daddy said not nice. Well, total damage $1.3k on this LV bag.

My Princess is 9mths old on 09 Jan 09

My baby Xuan lin is 9mths! So what are her achievements @ 9mths? :)
1. She likes to use finger to point
2. She will say mum mum when she saw us eating
3. She likes to make funny faces
4. She will hold her own milk bottle when she is happy to do it
5. When we ask her where is ur photo and where is "gua yin" she will use her finger to point or turn and look at them
6. When she get hold of something, she refuse to give me and even cheat me and turn away.
7. She loves to eat bread & biscuit
8. She will use her finger to take biscuit and put into her mouth

I have realised that for the past 4 nights she did not wake up for milk and sleep thru out the night till morning 7am. Which is good for us cos we get to have a nite sleep. Hope she can maintain this way...

Have discussed with hb if we should hold a party for xuan lin on her 1st yr bday. Well the outcome is since we did a full mth celebration for her. We decided not to make it big, only intend to go out for buffet with both side family and buy a nice bday cake for her.
