Jayvier's 1st birthday celebration

It's been a long time since I last attended a birthday celebration at MacDonalds.
I can vividly remember attending my primary school friend Wing Sze's birthday >10yrs ago at MacDonalds.
That's very long ago when I was still in round framed spectables with short hair.

Theresa decided to hold Jayvier's 1st birthday celebation nearby - Khatib MacDonalds.


Good choice made - given that the food and toys cater to both Adults and Children.


Self-decorated wall by the mummy herself.


Going through Chinese tradition - Theresa carrying Jayvier to step on the Ang Ku Kueh. Grandma was reciting some sentences in Hokkien - not exactly sure about the words - but it meant good positive future ahead upon stepping on the red Kueh.


I love what follows after the stepping of Ang Ku Kueh.
It is "Making Choices to Determine the Future" time.
Yes, part of a Chinese tradition as well.

By placing a number of items on the table for the child to choose from.
These items symbolised the future the child will be embarking on.

The below descriptions are purely based on my poor knowledge / memory, no 100% correct:

Abacus - good in Mathematics and can be accountant
Ruler - good in Measurement / Teaching
Pen - good in Writing
Book - good in Reading
Money - good in Finance
Food - be a chef?


Shermaine feeling very happy to join in the joyous occasion and had her Fillet O Fish burger.


The birthday cake which I think was ordered from the bakery in Ang Mo Kio.
The top layer of cake is of Lychee Martini flavour.
The bottom bigger layer is normal Black Forest cake.


See those figurines, even though I never liked Sesame Street, I thought the cake looked super cute!

Wedding of Samuel + Claudine

One week after the happening Bacholerette party.....


Their wedding picos were taken in Taiwan.
Unlike the typical couple with the BIG pico framed up, they have theirs in Poster-form.


Angela, the bride Claudine and ME


Likes the two wedding shots below :)



Before the dinner starts...
Everyone was catching up with one another...

Fiona, ME and Caroline


Swissotel Merchant Court Combination with Suckling Pig
- Prawn Salad, Shark's Fin Omelette, Seafood Roll, Jellyfish & Suckling Pig


Skipped the typical normal looking dish - Braised Shark's Fin Soup

Roast Crispy Chicken with Crispy Garlic Sauce


Jin, Pei Kee and Jerry


Boiled Live Prawn in "Dang Gui" Kei Chee Soup
Didn't eat this as I was feeling too lazy to peel the prawn shells...


Xiangyun, Jeanette, ME and Angela


Wok Fried Pearl Scallops & Prawns with Broccoli in Yam Ring
- Not very nicely cut up by the waiter


Braised Slice Abalone & Mushrooms with Spinach


Our table of people stayed on slightly later than the rest...

Me and the gorgeous bride in black + red gown (I like!)


Big difference in taking pico with / without flash.


"Dove" theme


Cheers to the bride to her everlasting marriage! :)


The after-dinner was of great fun!
The groom's brothers were challenging our table to drink since we are the only table supporting the bride at that time...

Lots of drinking and laughs... And we ended the night earlier so that both Samuel and Claudine can have a good night rest..
