Keira walks like us

Think I better update this... so one day, I can read back to this blog and know when she started walking like an adult/toddler.

Keira started walking from 9-10 months. By now, she is walking like a toddler/kid without any support. She can walk/cruise around the house like no ones business and she is very stable with her walk. There is no need for us to really "watch her" and "catch her" while she is walking anymore... cheers... ;-)!

I supposed this is quite a great milestone for Keira to be able to get to this stage at/before 1-year. Cool.. that's what my mum told me. Cheers....

Keira's 1st Mid-Autumn Festival

It's Mid-Autumn festival!
Hmm... I think it's been more than 15 years since I last (really) celebrated this festival. This year, we have Keira so there is A reason to do something to show her, and let her have some fun.

2 weeks ago, I chanced upon a TV commercial promoting this festive celebration. Coincidentally, my eld bro had some subsidized tickets to Chinese Garden for Mid-Autumn Festival. So we booked the tickets and went to Chinese Garden with eld bro, SIL and Karin....

It was SUPER crowded!!! I never expected such a turnout! We could hardly walk, not to mention "enjoy" the lightings and settings.... Nonetheless, I bought an electronic wand for Keira and bro bought both Karin and Keira a "devil-headband".

Here's our little "devil" for you....haha...

Keira and headband

Wow... I thought Keira looks really sweet in her attire today! Ha... I chanced upon a headband when I was shopping one day.. and decided to buy it. I thought then, if I dun wear it, Keira can!. .. haha... here she goes....

13 Sept - Little get together for 3 of us

Keira is One Year Old!

It's been 2 weeks since I last updated our blog. Well, it's never too late... here's the updates for you, my friends!

Keira turned 1 year old on 13 Sept, but we celebrated her birthday couple of days earlier to coincide with a weekend - 8 Sept. We invited immediate family members and close friends to join us in our previous' moment. Unfortunately... should I say unfortunate??? Well, it seems that I've always got something interesting to tell you all....So what was it this time?

Hmm, Keira woke up on 8 Sept morning with a fever!!! DUH! why??? Of all days, today when we were supposed to celebrate Keira's 1st birthday? Gosh... unfortunate? I think so... coz I dun think she enjoyed the day as we hoped for her to. Anyway... I have some pictures taken to show all my friends....

First of all, our attempts to set up the function room for the celebration. Frankly, I have under-estimated the energy needed to set it up! I thought it was easy..no brainer, simple and fast, no frills... Blarrrr... I was wrong! Pumping those balloons, tieing them and fixing up to create a "theme" is such a hassle....I actually felt sorry to have that feeling! gosh! So... here are some pics to show you...parts of the function room set up. Great efforts from Hb, my eld bro, my dad, Karin, SIL and I....





The next key item was the Cake! We booked the cake some 2-3 weeks in advanced. It was also a tough decision - maybe just me... I wanted Elmo-2D/3D cake in 2 kg but just couldn't find a nice one. Finally, hb settled for a No. 1-shaped cake with Sesame Street characters. Hmm.. it turned out pretty nice, and the kids at the party were thrilled with the cake! haha... so was I! The cake tasted great too! Till today, I was still mesmerized by it! Think I should order from this bakery on my next xx birthday ;p


Here's Karin, Keira and Valerie... the other kids looked on with same level of excitment, haha.

Finally, Keira and I :-). Poor gal, she had the fever thoughout the party. Party ended at 3pm, by the time we got home, it was almost 5pm.

And... we thought, and we were told... Keira had fever due to teething.... coz she had no cough, no running nose etc etc....Well, by the time we got home, her fever rose to 38.8 degrees, we brought her to KK hospital, it's just too high. By the time we reached KK, her temperature registered at 39.6! That warranted for emergency case, and we stayed for 1 hr with Dr's instruction to monitor her. Thank goodness, her fever dropped and we went home....

For the rest of the days, Keira was recuperating....
