ryan's first visit to the ZOO!

we brought ryan to the zoo for the very first time on the 3rd of feb 2007!

as usual, he was very "curious aka kapo" as he saw the myriad range of animals. not forgetting the usual pong and greenery. so much has evolved since our last visit half a decade ago! he sat quietly throughout the animal show and took a short nap thereafter. bought an elephant toy for him which he adores to this very day! hahahaha.... it was a great day with superb weather and shall return when he's able to walk well!

Ryan's birthday party!

It's Ryan's 1st birthday celebrations! Mummy and Daddy organised a massive celebration for more than 100pax at Cashew Heights function hall on Sat 17th March from 12noon to 3pm for baby Ryan! preparations started like 2 months ago and daddy has been planning, designing and buying stuff! Theme of party: MICKEY MOUSE (since ryan loves him!)

Mummy, daddy and Ryan's godpa left home early to start decorating the hall for the party which started at 12pm! there was so much to put up and ensure that all decor was in place! signages, welcome posters, banners, balloons, goodie bags, setup of tables for cake cutting & presents, etc

100 balloons (red and black, mickey's colors) were ordered from concourse and delivered (thankfully before the guests arrived) Bibik caterers arrived before 12.30pm and the buffet was quickly set up! As the guests slowly streamed in, more and more presents for our precious son were piling up! about 110 guests arrived & everyone commented on the decor and great food! hahahaha....

Ryan was happily zooming around in his walker which we decorated with balloons and a banner. Can tell that Ryan simply enjoyed himself and the attention that was showered on him that afternoon!

Ryan's goodie bag to his friends consisted of a green stuffed snake (from Ikea), some Mickey biscuits (since Mickey was the theme) and a clapper! Attached to each bag was of course, a balloon!

The climax of the party?
The arrival of his 6kg cake, personally delivered by uncle Henry (Bengawan Solo)
It was super HUGE and very beautifully done!!! Cake was designed by Daddy dearest of course! Similar to invite card design.

Cake cutting was carried out at 2.30pm and baby Ryan got a taste of his own birthday cake (vanilla sponge with fresh strawberries) Loads of cake were distributed and we even had to give away some of Ryan's cake coz it was simply TOO MUCH to handle!!! Haha!

Whilst mummy and daddy were impatiently waiting for the caterers to come and collect their stuff, the little prince was sent home by mama and gong gong (mummy's) to be taken care of by mama and gong gong (daddy's)!!! See how important this little boy is!!! Hahaha!

Silly caterers took 2 hours to arrive! Such bad co-ordination! We were really peeved at them for wasting so much of our time!

At home, Ryan had a good sleep and woke up in time to open all his prezzies!!! Received loads of vouchers and angbaos as well! Yahoo!!

ryan's first haircut!!!!

BEFORE AFTER

hey everyone! we just brought ryan for his first haircut since birth!!! i simply refused to trim his hair as i do not want to compromise his good looks! hahahaha.... we checked out the junior league place at paragon but there were too many people so we brought him to jean yip! same stylist as veron's. it was pouring heavily when we walked over to the salon. veron had to hold him while they sat on a chair and Ken (the stylist) started snipping away! my heart pounded heavily as i fear for my son's look! hehehhe.... armed with a videocam in one hand and the camera in the other, i moved around them so that ryan will be distracted and not figet. another female stylist was also playing and talking to ryan as Ken painstakingly tried to trim my lil boy's hair! it was a sight to behold! they commented that ryan was a very good boy as he did not even wail or be terribly agitated in the entire process! instead, he was busily looking around and probably wondered wat ken was doing and was fasinated with ken's huge red comb.

after all was done, as we walked to the car, i was scrutinising ryan's new hairstyle and was grumbling away that his fringe was too short!!! hmph! anyway, veron and mom said he looked very cute and neat. *eyes rolling* after his bath and milk, he drifted off to dreamland!

hows this pose mom?

ladies & gentlemen: my daddy and i!!
