Ah Kong's 50th Birthday

We celebrated Ah Kong’s 50^th Birthday on the last day of 2008, 31^st Dec... The same day also marked Emeryn’s last day at Sunflower Nursery... Ah kong’s actual birthday is supposed to be 1^st Jan.. Daddy brought him a fruit cake and later all of us went for a dinner...It was those 8-course dinner but it was at just a normal restaurant, not any big names to mentioned... After the dinner, we drove to Batu Feringghi with granny and kor kor to exchange those spoilt dvds... Surprisingly there isn’t any traffic jam despite the eve of New Year.. We had a short walk along the night bazaar before heading to Esplanade to witness the fireworks and to usher the new beginning of 2009...

Emeryn fell asleep on mummy’s arm. At upper Penang Road, it was so jammed that the cars merely move... Most of the roads heading to Esplanade were blocked...It was 12am sharp when we were driving along the bank’s street... Daddy stopped the car by the road side and we came out from the car to witness the once-a-year fireworks.. Mummy asked emeryn to wake up and witness it but she refuses to open her eyes...What a waste??? The fireworks lasted about 5minutes and immediately after it stopped, emeryn opened her eyes and claimed “finished already”... What a funny statement from her?? Emeryn rather keep her eyes closed than witnessing the beauty of the fireworks... We drove home straight after that...

Mummy brought emeryn to Tesco to get ready some stuff for Chinese New Year on New Year day... We spend our afternoon at home... While in the evening, mummy brought emeryn out for dinner with Por Por, Ah Kong and Ee Ee.. After our dinner, we walked at the pasar malam nearby their place...

On Sat, we had our dinner at Pekaka together with granny, ah kong, chik chik and ah chim.. After the dinner, daddy played the wedding dvd (mummy & daddy’s wedding on year 2005) and all of us watched it for 2.5hours... It was a walk back memory lane. We went home at about 10.30pm... The next day, we went to granny’s place as usual, our usual weekend visit.. Before going to granny’s place, we brought emeryn to Esplanade for her playground time... She exciting ran towards the swing and swing non-stop and refuse to try other games...It was about to rain before we were forced to leave...Emeryn insisted not to leave and started crying loudly... Her cries don’t even stop until we reached granny’s place.. It was a big fuss... Sigh...
