Missing Ah Yin

Yesterday I went to a wake of someone that I respect dearly. I called her ah yin, just like how her own grandchildren called her. She's my cousin mother-in-law, we are not related yet she plays an important role in my early stage of life, she treated me like her own grandchildren. She took care of me for 3 years...

I was staying at my cousin house when I was 4 to 6 years old because my parents were working, they do not have the time to take care of me so I was sent to stay in my cousin house during the weekdays and I will only get to see my parents during the weekend.

Though memories of her is now very vague but she is someone that I will think of at times. Even though we dun get to see each other much after I started primary school but she will always hold a special place in my heart. I was excited to see her during CNY. Last year CNY was the last time I saw her. She was happy that I was pregnant and asked the gender of my baby. I told her its boy again then she said that I looked so pretty should be girl and she keep saying should be girl so I said ya I also hope the doc made a mistake.

This year CNY I was looking forward to see her too, I want her to see my baby Keon, I waited for a couple of hours at our CNY meeting point this year but in the end I left before she comes. I had told hubby before I always feel very thankful towards my cousin Jenny, ah yin and their family, they gave me a happy childhood.

Even though ah yin had passed on, I will still remember her as a great lady filled with love and someone I respected and regretted not caring much....

Keon's First Birthday Party

HiHi...

Finally gonna update my blog! Hee... as mentioned on my previous post, I am busy attending parties. Yesterday, attended 2 birthday party. One in the afternoon, one in the evening and that is the end of May babies party. Happy Birthday to all May 2008 babies! Welcome all to the toddler club :)

Let me updates on Keon's party first.

Initially his party was supposed to be at Aloha Loyang but the venue was changed one week before the party because the Government had took over the operation of Aloha as Swine Flu quarantine area. With only one week, we had to find for alternative place, look thru several chalets but all are fully booked so we turns to restaurant and function room. Finally decided on Bottle Tree Park for its unique environment.

Although the whole process on booking Bottle Tree Seminar room was kinda rush but I was glad that the staffs that I spoken to are nice and friendly. I was also glad that they are very flexible and helpful too.

All in all, we had a great party, loves their shark fin soup, one of the best that I ever had.

Thank you to all who turns up, because of you this party was a successful one, because of your presence this party was warm and cosy.




^Guests were told to follow the balloons to the Seminar room as Bottle Tree Park was a big area so I used balloons to lead them but I totally forgotten that the helium-filled balloons wont last long under sunlight so by the time my guests were making their way in, these balloons had shrink.
