Happy 6th Birthday to Anthea

Anthea turns 6th years old on 09 April. We decided to have a small dinner birthday celebration for her on Sunday with the families.

My eldest brother has kindly given me a $50 Tung Lok voucher, so needless to say, the dinner is held at one of the Tung Lok’s group. Seem like we are BIG share holders of Tung Lok restaurant.

After some discussion with Adrian, we choose Lao Bei Jing located at Novena Square.
Mainly the place is near to Toy R Us in United Square, I know from experienced that the doting grandfather will usually bring his grandchildren to Toy R Us to shop for their presents. Actually yesterday, they did go to United Square but to shop for her shoes for Terence’s wedding dinner.

According to my FIL, there was a very nice pair of shoes for her but it was 1 size bigger, so they will try another shop, another day. Seem like the shoes is the one that is more difficult to get instead of the dress...haha. What a surprise it is to me.

I booked a table for 12 adults + 1 infant at 老北京. Since I arrived earlier while the rest were either shopping/ on the way or in church. I took the initiative to order the meals. After some good recommendations from the Captain, I managed to order a few dishes & a Peking Duck.

We had a sumptuous dinner with a bottle of red wine. As usual I enjoyed my dinner because of good companionship. Anthea was also having a good time, ever eager to open her presents and also showing off her new bought Tiara. Before dinner, she even asked me to wear it for her. I told her the Tiara should be reserved for Uncle Terence’s wedding.

After dinner, we had the cake cutting and this round I ordered a 1 kg Black Forest cake. Her Princess cake will be shared with her classmates during her party. During the cake cutting, Anthea even asked Da giu to dim the light as we were in a private room, luckily the other table of dinners had left the room, so we had the whole room to ourselves.

Anthea received some story books from her Uncle Louis,Aunty Eve and Faith mei mei.
When we were home, she started on the 1st book for her bedtime reading. As for Uncle Terence & Cherry, they still owe her One..haha.

As usual ah pao & da giu gave her ang pows which mommy here will deposit to her saving account.

It was a Happy Birthday celebration for my little Princess and happiness was all over her face.

Dearest Anthea,

Happy 6th Birthday to you and may you be filled with Happiness everyday .

Love,
Daddy, mommy & di di.
