Daddy's 35th Birthday Celebration
We had a simple celebration at home... My mother-in-law bought a coffee cake from Bengawan Solo, nothing fanciful cos' she said that's one of those rare cakes which I can eat during confinement period.
The happiest person is none other than Clairene Cheng... after doing so much role-playing with her birthday cake toy set, she can finally practise with the real thing.
A very satisfied girl...

(For the next few weeks after this b'day celebration, she would sing "Happy Birthday... to Papa" whenever she plays with her birthday cake toy set. Truly Daddy's girl! Sigh.)

Newborn's Name
My second princess's name is finally confirmed... Charmaine Cheng Rui Xuan!
I've already picked the Chinese name 钟睿暄 even before her birth but her daddy said it didn't sound nice so I told him to go think of a better one. However, knowing my husband, I've already told some of my friends that we would still use that name in the end because he wouldn't really crack his brain to think of one. To me, a name must still be meaningful and not just "sound nice" - 睿 means "wisdom" and 暄 means "warmth, sunshine". To me, it's simply a beautiful name.
However, I did force Bryan to go and choose her Christian name. After days of nagging, he finally sat down, searched through the Internet and selected a few names (ie. Charmaine, Kristine, Joey, Sarah, Bernice, Candice, Kelly, Lynsey, Sherry, Jasmine & Jacqueline). Personally, Charmaine and Joey are the 2 names which I've also had in mind before that. Eventually, Charmaine is chosen and it means "charm" (in English), "bountiful orchard" (in French) and "joy & delightful" (in Greek).
With Charmaine's name fresh out from the oven, I could finally design the e-card and create the FB event to invite friends & relatives to attend her full month celebration which is going to be held this coming Sunday.
Another mad rush... Well, this is certainly something which I don't want my girls to take after the both of us - the bad habit of procrastination. I pray that they could be more organised and not always complete their work at the eleventh hour.

Baby Laughing Video Contest 2012
Looked through all our video clips of Clairene and managed to find one that's pretty cute. Did some simple editing using You-Tube's Video Editor and uploaded it to take part in the contest organised by People's Association.
(Video was not shortlisted as one of the winning entries but still enjoy it...)

Mother's Day 2012
This is the Mother's Day gift which my husband gave me (after much hinting which later progressed to threathening). It's even belated by a few hours. Well, at least it's handmade and he sacrificed some of his sleep time to do this. The end product is certainl better than expected, especially for someone who does not even know what a carnation flower is.
Can't wait for the day when my 2 dear daughters can make something for me on Mummy's Day... =D
