For his 1 year old bday, we did not throw any birthday bash for him. We just celebrated his birthday with my family as well as darling's family on two separate occasions.
We held a baby shower for Yuan Ze, and to be honest, I do like the part where all our relatives, good friends, colleagues, and students gather to share this joyous occasion. However, during the baby shower, Yuan Ze was asleep the whole time. And when we got back home at night, he was crying very terribly. So I told darling, if we have a second child, no need to hold a baby shower for him/her.
As for Yuan Ze's baby shower, we held it at my sister's condo function room, and the function room is quite small. We had to ask our guests to come at 2 different timings. And as a result, we did not get to invite some of our other friends. And I did not invite my pe classmates. It is not that I do not like them. I love them alot. And so they got wind of this baby shower through social media. And one of them was unhappy with me for not inviting them. And the other person also keep harping on that. So whenever there are other baby showers or weddings or whatsoever, that same person will keep making this an issue. If you ask me, I think this is equivalent to the adult version of... whatsapp bullying. Hahahahahaha. But is ok lah, I still love that person alot. I still love going for JB seafood trips with him.
Anyway to commemorate Yuan Ze's first birthday, we let him do a photoshoot. When Enxuan turned 1 years old, Audrey (my student from the previous workplace) was the photograher. And of course, for my son's first photoshoot, I of course have to engage Audrey. I jokingly told Audrey that when my son turns 21 years old I will also engage her as the official photographer. And the next thing she told me is that she also wants to be Enxuan's official photographer when she gets married. Hahahahaha.
The photoshoot location for Yuan Ze was at Pan Pacific Singapore. We had a staycation there for 2 nights during the sept holidays. It was Yuan Ze's second staycation. His first staycation was at JW Marriott Singapore. I like Pan Pacific. First of all, the room is much bigger than JW's. Secondly it is easily accessible to places such as Marina Square, Suntec and Esplanade. We went to Ya Kun at Marina Square for breakfast for two consecutive days. Hahahahaha. Xuehong and NZJ also joined us for breakfast on the 2nd day. Both of them specially took cab down to Marina Square to eat breakfast with us. I am touched. :)
Ok lah, here are the photos! Thank you Audrey! :)
We had 3 themes. The pilot theme, the minion theme and the outdoor pool theme. We got the pilot romper from an online store like 4 days before the photoshoot. And have to ask for express mail to send to us the next day. The planes are bought by darling's father.
Minion romper was from darling's meimei. She bought it at USS. Minion soft toy and minion figurines are borrowed from Yoke Kay. I specially drove to her house (she stays at CCK) to get from her. Until now I still haven return them to her. Hahahahahaha.
Right now is the End Of Year exams period. So is pretty much holiday mood already. And this year I am the chief presiding examiner again for O levels. I a bit sian because the school that I am going to this year do not have air-conditioned hall. :p
Anyway, looking forward to the dec holidays, because we are going to Ritz Carlton for staycation. And I really hope that I can bring darling and Yuan Ze as well as darling's family to Taiwan during next year's June holidays.
