We actually had a birthday party for Naomi last Saturday (1st March 2008). Since it’s her 1st birthday and 1st is always a special moment we decided to have an extravagant party for our little angel....:)
I actually did pray for good weather but I decided not to take any risk so went to google and checked the weather forecast. Thunderstorm was expected on the day of the party so we had to put up extra canopy. The buffet started at 7pm and the weather was still good…not a single drop of rain. Most of the guests turned up at around 8-ish. (I only invited my relatives & close friends and about 70 people turned up that day.)
At around 9pm, it started to rain so we asked everyone to go inside the house for the cake cutting session. It’s a bit too crowded inside the house but we manage to sing the Birthday Song and then cut the cake and distribute them to all the guests.
Naomi was very excited when everyone sang the birthday song. She was like looking at them and must be wondering why are all these people singing and clapping their hands? She can’t take her eyes off her cake as well and wanted to touch the cake. I had to struggle with her during that session because I’m so afraid that she will ruin the cake before we blow the candle and cut the cake.

The party sort of ended around 10pm that day. My close friends and some of my relatives was still there chatting and catching up with one another. At about 10pm Naomi started to feel cranky so I took her upstairs and clean+feed her and change her into her PJ. Since she’s still awake that time I took her downstairs to play with my friends. We put the Bee Movie for her and she sat on the couch quietly with Auntie Joanne and watched the DVD. After that, my friends ask me to unwrap the presents (on behalf of Naomi J of course).
