A birthday outing

As mentioned in earlier posting, we brought Darius for duck tour ride on his actual birthday. He was so excited during the trip and want to stand on his own with help. Photos taken on that day..

The proud boy that does not want help. He will move my hands away when I try to hold him.

Darius is please with the rides in the playroom

See.. these are my presents and angbaos..

He went around biting his presents... guess he hope to find some food stuff inside..

Then he starts balancing himself on the presents...

When he failed to do so, he starts whining...

Nevertheless, he keeps trying till succeed.. sigh, stubborn boy.

These blocks from grandaunt won his heart for the day.. He played with it till went to bed, next day the first thing he do when woke up is continue playing with the blocks..

Happy Birthday Our Dear Boy.

Our boy is ONE year old today and officially a toddler now. In a blink of eyes, one year has passed and our boy has grown almost 5 times as big in weight (from 2.09kg) , almost 30cm taller (from45cm) than birth and into a cheerful and active little toddler. Looking at these pictures, we remembered how tiny and vulnerable he seems to be when he was born. Now he is such a active boy, his smile could melt any heart, his presence had bonded the family to be closer.

Darius - 1 Day Old

Darius - 1 Year Old

Yesterday we had a birthday party at Grassroot club with close friends and relatives. Its enjoyable but tiring :p. Kids are unpredictable and I guess we learn through this year to take things easier and had no expectation to have a "perfect" party. The only aim is to make Darius happy and to give the guest a good time as a way to say a big Thank you for all their support over last year.


Today we took child leave to have a private celebration with our boy. We went duck tour with really entertained Darius for 45mins (ride is 60mins) before he starts to whine. After that we went Singapore Flyer for lunch and decided not to proceed with the ride since there were a lot of constructions views around that area, guess after the IR opening will be a better view. After lunch we went Kenko shoulder massage (for mommy), fish therapy (for daddy) and Darius just being a nicest boy to watch us. We went vivocity for toy shopping and dinner before heading home to end the day. How we wish the day will be longer.

To my Darius Boy:

"I wish you will be Happy and Healthy forever. I know for the past one year it had been a very tough but remarkable year for you as well as our entire family. Thank you for being a good boy so far. Love you. " From Mommy

"My wish to you my Darius, is to be strong and handsome forever." From Daddy.

Darius's 1st Photoshoot Session

We went for photoshoot last friday, its a enjoyable but tiring one :). Reckon other than our wedding photography this is the most tiring session. The package was quite a good deal with all soft copy burned in CD and get it on the spot, although the session was stated as 1 hr but the photographer was kind enough to extend to 1.5 hr as Darius was busy playing with toys and didn't cooperate well. Its not easy being a clown to tickle his funny bones (Darius typically love super dramatic tricks). Trying to rush to design an album for him as his 1st birthday present and a crazy week for work as well. Will try to upload more photos to facebook soon.

Calling Daddy

Tonight is a special night. While everyone is glue to the TV tonight, Darius-boy shouted Daddi. Everyone turns around to a blushing Darius-boy.

Sounds so unreal. Really melts everyone's heart.

I'm 10th month old today

Cheezy smile, small eye and toothless is our darling DB's trademark. Since last week, he start to brave himself to stand up by the cot and shouting across for attention. So for us, someone standing there looking at us and giving a sunshine smile is the best vitamin for the day. Simply irresistable.
