On Joel's FIRST birthday, we left the house really late. Not intentionally...but the birthday boy decided to take a looong nap just before noon (which is kinda his usual schedule)...and woke up for his lunch at about 3+pm (usually he wakes up at about 1+pm for lunch). So by the time we left the house, it was almost 5pm! We had only ordered delivery breakfast...so we were really STARVING! And we had no birthday cake to fill our tummies first. (Some of you will know that when Elvis is really starving, he will feel like he wanna vomit!) Haha! ;p

On the cab to XuJiaHui, we changed our minds from having Sporean lunch at Prima to Sushi Tei! We think that it should be our lunch+dinner...and we can order delivery supper. The minute we sat inside Sushi Tei at about 5.45pm, Daddy was busy snatching the plates from the conveyor belt! Haha! He was eating very quickly and non-stop! He made me very nervous ("gan jiong") with his actions! Like i also must speed up! Actually, i havent even settled Joel properly...so i was very busy catching up with Elvis and entertaining Joel with his toys, biscuits, water, pacifier. (Joel was being a little fussy) Elvis also asked me to look at the menu and order some other food...so my eyes were literally everywhere!!! :/

After that, we walked around the malls in XuJiaHui area (mostly at GangHui mall) and i needed to collect my dailies contact lens. There's a "Kids Wing" and we went there wanting to let him play. But when we saw the crowd, we changed our minds. We also saw some of those hylem balloons and bought 2 (¥60 each). Joel's was a dog (walking on the floor) & Elvis' was a parrot in a cage. It was pretty cute! The lady said that there's even "lifetime warranty"! Haha! You can refill the gas/hylem with them for as long as the balloon lasts. Not bad! ;)

When we wanted to go home at around 9pm, we couldnt find any birthday cake for Joel. A lot of the cakes were sold out and some of the size were just too big (for the 2 of us to finish by tomorrow). We walked to another mall's basement and finally got a smaller cake which someone else had reserved! So lucky! They decided to release it to us since the customer didnt appear. And a tiramisu which we both like (coz Elvis is the strawberry kind, and i'm the chocolate kind).


We got home to Skype with my family in Spore, cut Joel's 1st birthday cake (which turns out to be our supper), take some photos, open his baby basketball and played a little while before Joel went to bed. Phew... What a day! We're actually quite happy that Joel is ONE! ;)

Now, i really need to go pack our luggage for tomorrow's trip... Bye! Will post pictures when i get the time in Bangkok. Elvis still has to work/check emails...so we will have internet access! Yeah!

That's all for today! Good night.
