Happy birthday Shourei!

Today is my nephew, Shou Rui’s 5^th birthday. I always have a soft spot for him, possibly because he’s the first grandchild of our family. And, the fact that I was very involved in his childhood, it makes me particularly more attached to him.

When I discovered my pregnancy, I always think that I will prefer a boy for my first-born. Just to qualify this statement – it’s not because I have a preference for boys. This is largely influenced by the fact that I have 2 brothers, and I always thought it will be sweet if there is a big brother in the family to protect the younger siblings. I’m glad that Shou Rui is actually very fond of Mei Mei and takes very good care of her. In fact, my brother used to compare that he finds Shou Rui is actually nicer to Mei Mei than his own brother.

Why Gor Gor is so nice to Mei Mei and not me?

We had his pre-birthday celebration over the weekend. This 5-year old boy actually prefers to have a KTV session, so that he can relish this fav Jay Chou “Huo Yuan Jia” song. Of cos, the highlight of the day has to be the unwrapping of birthday presents for him. Nothing beats seeing a kid beamed in joy when he uncovers the mystery of his presents! Shiok ah..so many presents! Can play till i flip!

Mummy..why no present for me?

Shou Cong you must be a tough guy ok! Follow me..hor hor hor hor hor hor hor..

Finally..my turn to sing..

Eh-lo? Why no sound?

Mei Mei finally crashed after a day of fun. For the record, she slept for a straight 3 hours without stirring!
