Saturday 2nd July 2005 I woke up early and excited for it was finally the day! Went out for breakfast with the family and got the 1st of many inane excuses given by some invited guests who said they could not make it even when they had confirmed attendance. By then I was immune to the insensitiveness of these people who just couldn't fathom what their cancellation was costing Eddie and me. No people, not monetary wise, just bitter disappointment at their so called 'something came up', 'have to work', etc.....but there were a few who never even called to say that they were not coming. Think of all the food prepared and would have been wasted! By golly! Some of these non showers were family members!
However, I am happy to say that the party was fun and the kiddies enjoyed themselves with the games planned by Estrel and Cindy. The MC, Saysoo did a good job of keeping the kiddies entertained whilst Eddie and I were rushing around trying to make sure we did not neglect anyone...tiring but fun! I was happy to meet up again with Karen and and Li Li. At last, I got to meet Andrea, Li Li's baby daughter who turned 1 in February 2005. She is really a beautiful girl and I am so glad to have met up with so many close and long time friends.
My Angeline enjoyed herself tremendously and her presents have filled 3 boxes now! Soon my spare room will have to be rearranged to accomodate all her stuff as there is barely any walking space in there! She loved all the attention showered on her and by 11pm that night she was already asleep. The whole of Sunday afternoon we all napped and totally rested. Angel is still catching up on her sleep!
Monday 4th July 2005: Angel's actual birthday. Spent the afternoon napping the poor baby! She was so tuckered out. Eddie came home and we took Angel down to the pool as a birthday treat for her. She loved the pool! She wasn't very impressed with the baby pool though. Started squealing with delight when Ed and I took her to the adult pool (of course she had her goggles and floaters on! We are not dumb!) for a while. She screamed with frustration when we got out of the pool and headed home and only calmed down when I promised her that I wouldn't hesitate to 'rotan' her if she didn't quit her caterwauling!
Got a sms from another friend (Ed's ex-colleague) that she had delivered a baby boy that evening of July 4th! Now her son and my Angel share the same date with a year in between them. How nice!
Tuesday 5th July 2005: Got the new car today. Went for a spin and ended up in 1Utama where we bought another swimsuit and a towelling robe for Angel. She was all excited with the suit but gave the new car a big yawn. Tomorrow we will take Angel for her next swim in her new duds!
Thanks to all who made the effort to attend the party and all the gifts given....most important is thanks for reaffirming that there are responsible and fun loving people out there! Cheerio for now!
