I still remember that last weekend we were talking and discussing with Annabelle on her birthday celebration. Initially Alvin and I would like to do it on Sunday for our family celebration.
Surprisingly Annabelle was totally against the idea of doing it on Sunday. The reason being is Sunday is a Sabbath day and she preferred to do it on the actual day – Tuesday night. We just followed her decision.
For Issac’s 12 years old birthday, we did small birthday party for him with his friends from Chee Wen and Macaje Academy at our apartments club house. He had a memorable one.
As for Annabelle's 12 years old, due to all her friends are her schoolmates and Mecaje Academy is at Subang 2, so far away from our home, Alvin and I intend to give a surprise celebration for her at her school during her recess time at 12.00 noon. I checked with her Primary teacher Melissa and kept it a secret and surprise from Annabelle.
Both Alvin and I planned out that we asked Restaurant Kaikaixin to help us to cater some food for 30 persons for all the Primary students and all the teachers in the school.
There was fried rice, fried mee hoon, chicken curry and 30 pcs of red hard boiled eggs. Teacher Melissa helped us for the drinks for the students. Alvin ordered a 2Kg vanila chocolate and mango cake in Bear Bears cartoon shape for her.
We were at the school around 11.15am helped to prepare all the food at the 2nd floor. We waited for the Primary recess time at 12.00 noon, and finally saw Annabelle’s face at the glass door. She seems like she got to know about the surprise celebration! She is happy!
All the Primary Students and their primary teachers sung the Happy Birthday song and celebrate for her 12 years old officially. Her teachers even post as the Bear Bears cake shape during having the photos!
Alvin and I rushed back to our offices after this small celebration with her together with her friends and Issac.
After work we continue our second part of her birthday celebration at Main Place USJ21 Shell Out. This is not the first time we celebrate birthdays at Shell Out. All of us loves to have meals here.
We have our presents opening time at home. Alvin bought a pair of roller skates. She was so happy and she wants to try on her new toy! She received a pair of roller skates 2 years back from Alvin too. This time the new pair is different and it comes with the roller skates shoes, and it would be easier for her to wear.
I have promised her earlier to buy the Candy Series Comics books for her birthday, but I told her that I would only buy 2 books. She was happy about that and satisfied with her 2 books. Actually, I bought extra 3 books for her.
When Alvin told her that there were another surprises for her, she was yelling in surprise when getting in total 5 books!
My sweet daughter is growing up too fast. Over thee past years, we have been celebrating her birthdays, and now she is officially 12! I know it’s a clinche, but the time really has flown! I can’t believe that I soon will have a teenage girl in the house.
It did give me kind of shock when I got to know that she had her first ever period last 2 months ago. It’s official! Annabelle is no longer my little baby.
I remember saying to her sometimes, “I can’t believe how fast time is flying by! One day you and Issac both have grown up and left home and where will I be?” She looked at me with her serious face and said flatly, “You will be old, mum!”
I wish my sweet little darling blessed with what Heavenly Father wants you to be and please remember to stay in His Light whatever you may encounter!
