These are the pictures taken when our little family went to Sentosa last mth. It's been one month and Mummy didn't have time upload these pictures. Most of the pictures are taken at Underwater World Singapore (UWS) where Mummy used to work at. Evangeline loves seeing the colourful fishes and especially the tunnel where the fishes swam above her head.

Outside "Songs of the Sea", Eve is already deep in her slp... so in the end, we didn't watch the show. (We still have the tix & it expires in Feb 09!) Must find chance to visit...

Strike a pose...

Prep for Eve's FIRST birthday

My gal is reaching her first birthday soon. Both daddy & I are trying to think what we should do and how we should celebrate for you! At first, we wanted to book an unit at SAFRA Resort which is very spacious and 2 bedrooms, personal bbq pit too. But unfortunately, we couldn't get one as Aunty Lucy and Jimmy uncle were unsuccessful in their bid in PSA.

So, we booked a room at NTUC Costa Sands in Downtown East for you. It would be on 17 - 19 Jan 2009 (Sat - Mon). We will pre-celebrate your birthday on Sat evening as your actual day falls on a Tuesday, a working day for all. Celebrating your birthday on a weekend will be able to invite more to your little party. We decided on Downtown East because it is convenient to access to NTUC, Wet Wet Wild, etc... We are gonna to bbq too.

Mummy is gonna order a beautiful 2-tier birthday cake for you. It will look something like this (above) posted. We've yet to decide which design to choose for you and if we are gonna add in strawberry shortcake figurine or Barney figurine... Mmmm, both also very cute but we know you love Barney much! We shall start searching for Barney figurines and see if we can find the whole gang!

We also wanna decorate the room a little fancier, with balloons, birthday wordings, ribbons, etc. (will update on this info)

What is Evangeline gonna wear for her birthday??? Perhaps a pretty white dress for you? We have not decided on this yet but surely it'll be a lovely dress for you. (to be updated soon).

For food wise, we are doing bbq, fried meehoon/ meesiam, chix curry & drinks. (to be updated again).
