Want to do something special for her, something to remember.. But didn't wan to hold a party coz she's bad with crowds.. Thus I made a birthday cake for Darling to celebrate her 1st birthday.. This is her 1st birthday cake, and its also my 1st time making a birthday cake..


The lower layer de cake is done baking

Used the cake leveler to 'trim' the top


The use the same thing to cut it into 2


Add in the filling


Those icings that I made beforehand


Baking the bear


Yes, the dark chocolate buttercream icing is piped on painstakingly


Almost done!


Done liao! keep it in the fridge to make it cold coz its melting already

Then we went out to BLK 131 for dinner.. The Zi Char i tell you, it's YUMMY! the food is nice, price is cheap, i think it's comparable to the famous Taste of Thailand from the old Sembawang Shopping Center..
Ah ma and the birthday girl~


Mummy and the birthday girl~ (I knows i'm without any makeup, and with specs.. But hey! thats the mummy-me)


Sambal Kangkong: not too spicy, everything is juz nice


Signature tofu: This is real yummy.. and Darling loves this.. Mind you, she got a picky mouth.. only takes nice stuffs.. eg. Chawanmushi from Ichiban she love, and yet other restaurant de steam egg she reject coz its tasteless..


Dong Po Rou: Braised pork.. Taste and smells kinda like those canned braised trotter.. Fragrant and soft.. But the meat part abit tough.. only the skin and fats very soft.. hiakhiakhiak~


Butter sotong: this is VERY yummy! very crispy, very nice smell of the butter.. I prefer this than Taste of Thailand de calamari..

Bill comes up to $36 only for 4 person..

Cut cake time~

Off the light, sang the birthday song, and blew the candle~



Wanted to let her take pic with the cake.. But as you see, she is seated far from the cake.. Why? COZ SHE KEEP TRYING TO KICK THE CAKE!! =.="


Cut cake cut cake!


Her birthday gift from my mum, a car~



Gift from my bro and his GF.. They got her a sweet lil green dress too.. But she dirtied it soon after wearing.. LOL


Ate the ears~

I know the teddy bear looks kinda hideous la.. LOL.. tried my best le..

Looking back, i realise how fast time flies.. From the moment I know of my pregnancy, till now she turns 1 years old, seems like just yesterday.. And as days pass, I could only love her more and more and more..

Happy Birthday Darling Darrielle! Mummy loves you so much.. May God bless you with a healthy body and a kind heart.. MUACKS!
