This is a very happening year for our family as dear embarked on a new career as a financial planner, and we're going to move to our new house at One Canberra! On top of that, I'm expecting a baby (totally unexpected) which will be due in September *gasp*. This also explains why I have not been blogging since Jan as I was grappling with morning sickness during the first trimester, and also busy tutoring a larger number of students this year. Fortunately, I do not need to worry too much about Le Xuan as she overcame her fear of going to school which also marked the success of Papa's initiative - The 20 smiley face challenge!!! *applause*
Le Xuan was wondering what to get for Papa's birthday, and I suggested that she could probably get a pencil case for him as Papa would need it for his new job. Haha, she was so excited about it and I remember her getting money from her piggybank and we went to Popular bookstore to shop for it. In the end, she decided on a blue one and when I asked her why, she said, "Cos Papa likes blue!" After that, she even made a small birthday card (hiding in Porpor's room) and placed it inside the pencil case before asking me to help her wrap it up. She was so secretive about it as she did not want Papa to know what she bought until his birthday. Oops but she didn't know that I have already let the cat out of the bag :P
I could remember vividly that a few days later, Le Xuan asked Papa what he hopes to get for his birthday. And of course, Papa said that he wish to have a pencil case. When Le Xuan heard that, her face beamed with delight and she quickly covered her mouth and hid herself behind the arm chair, so that Papa didn't see her reaction and got suspicious. It was so funny when she turned to me (still hiding behind the arm chair) and mouthed, "Papa wants to have a pencil case" and giggled. Sooooo cute!! We decided to celebrate Papa's birthday on 25 Jan (slightly earlier) and she was very happy to give Papa his birthday present :)
Happy Papa and Le Xuan with the blue pencil case
As usual, Papa's birthday celebration seemed more like Le Xuan's birthday as we decided to bring Le Xuan to Polliwogs! She had so much fun and of course Papa was happy to see darling enjoying herself, and not forgetting lunch at our favourite Ding Tai Fung after the fun.
Haha, our afternoon fun at Polliwogs and DTF was only round 1. There of course must be round 2 which was couple time! Since it's been a long afternoon of travelling, we decided to have a nice dinner at our favourite heartland mall Causeway Point! LOL. Dear and I had a lovely dinner at Shabu Shabu and it didn't really matter where we were so long as we have each other's company :) I know this year is especially challenging for dear, and I hope to be a supportive and understanding wife and be there for dear always! Jiayou laogong!!! Positivity breeds positivity! *hugz*
