Being Sarah: I am one!

our girl sarah turns one today, on the 3rd of June 2009.

both of us took half day leave so that we could spend sometime alone with her. mama flo brought an awfully chocolate cake to her school. the cake was also a token of appreciation from us to the care givers for taking good care of sarah.

sarah was abit surprised to see us so early in the day, she immediately wanted the attention of her mother. she was quite cranky and refused to sit down in the baby chair as she wanted mama flo to carry her, however, the flickering flame on her birthday candle soon caught her attention.
sarah's friend, eudora seems very excited and wanted to help in the celebration as well! mean while, sarah just couldnt take her eyes off the candle!
after blowing out the candle, we managed to gather the care givers and fellow babies to take this cute shot.
this is the birthday present given to sarah by the management of her school, inside it is a cute hand kitten puppet.

after we left school, we headed over to SAF Yacht Club for some snacks and drinks. sarah was deliberating over what to order, she was very serious and gave a stern look while 'reading' the menu.

it was a perfect day to go the yacht club, even though the weather was humid, the strong sea breeze totally blew away the heat and humidity. being a week day, there was no crowd at the cafe, we had the entire outdoor area to ourself.

sarah was very excited to see the sea, and was captivated by the rythmic sound of the waves breaking up against the embankment beneath us.

out of the sudden, she started 'ahhhhhing' away in the direction of the sea. wonder where she learned that from? its as if she is under alot of stress and had alot grievances to let out!

she seems to always put up a struggle whenever daddy carries her? not a very popular father i guess.

the one thing that will always capture the attention of sarah, food!

doing a dental check for mama?

after eating, mama flo was recharged, so she took sarah walking around the deck.

look at that cheeky little face!

after we got bored of the deck area, we ventured out to the pier for more photoshooting opportunities. i have not taken so many photos ever since my wedding photo shoot!

seems like sarah doesnt like her daddy to talk? thus the hand over the mouth gesture, actually daddy was playing with sarah by blowing air onto her palm, which she enjoyed and kept coming back for more.

sarah 'either the sky is spinning or my head is spinning'

sarah enjoys every opportunity to walk, regardless of time or place.

she can walk forever, after she tired out mama, the 'baton' was passed on to daddy and the walkaton continues...

after we got 'sea sick', we teleported ourselves over to ikea for more horsing around.

mama couldnt resist putting this towel hood onto sarah. she was in a very good mood, normally she wouldnt allow us to put anything over her head.
see, i didnt lie, we really went to ikea to 'horse' around, or moose around actually!

there were alot of crazy party hats lying around, which meant mama had to put them on for sarah..

we finally pushed her patience to the limit! she didnt want any more things on her head!

we had our dinner at chalk, a restuarant on mt sophia, they had a relatively good ambience, but the nice quiet ambience was soon destroyed by noisy sarah. she even managed to draw a few angry stares from the adjacent table!
