Since the day I told N about her birthday celebration, she has been quietly and diligently counting down, sticking a numeral on the calendar everyday. On the Sunday, she rose bright and shine though she went to bed pretty late the night before. I could see that she was already beaming with excitement. I took her for a swim and before long, it started to rain. She didn’t make a fuss which was unusually rare given that we were barely in the pool for a mere 10min duration.
Of course, N gotta work for her birthday party. She had to practise her piano pieces which she did pretty well with the carrot dangling right ahead.
Thereafter, for the following 1.5 hours, she had a fabulous time catching up with her friends at the party. It was also a time for me to catch up with my friends too. The kids grow up together and they attend one another’s parties.
With no surprises, the kids all gathered around the small table just to be the first to catch a glimpse of the cake when the party hostess was trying to remove the cake from the box. N was very pleased with the cake. I fell in love with it too :).
We sang the “happy birthday song” 3 times – English version : First for N and then for Chloe who has the same birthday as N. Every year, without fail, N and Chloe would meet up on their birthday as they have been friends since the first day of birth. The kids rounded it up with the Mandarin version. Thereafter, very obediently, they went back to their respective seats, waiting to be served their favourite dish.
Soon, it was time to bid farewell. All were happy kids and needless to mention, N was the happiest of all :). She still had a second round of joy in unwrapping all her presents. :)
