No party-varty & all (for private reasons)...but despite all that, Mom & I made sure Amsyar will have a memorable 1st B'day. Did a simple & private family affair (consisting of the birthday boy, his Mom, Nani, Maasi & Mamu).
I had taken leave (way in advance) for today. Luckily. Coz I started decorating the hse @ 9.30am (starting with his bicycle) & ended only @ 1.30pm!!! If I took just 1/2 day leave, it'll be maghrib by the time I finished! Sis brought Am to her sch for Teachers' Day concert so that peaceful time was well spent decorating the hse.
He came back just after we finished & while Mom had her bath. For a moment, he was stunned by the balloons hanging in the hse. Not the hse he left few hrs ago! After we settled dwn & had our lunch etc, we went out to collect his b'day cake. But b4 that, we brought him to Darul Ghufran to make him put twelve $1 coins into the donation box. $1 for each month. He kinda enjoyed the sound of the coins dropping into the box!! I remember on the same day last yr, Mom went to Darul Ghufran to put in $$$ to thank Allah for his arrival (she made a Nazar). Alhamdulillah, he has been in Allah's protection for a whole 1 year. It was my desire to expose him to a mosque. So that trip to the mosque was part of the itinerary of 31st Aug 2007.
After going to the mosque, and narrowly escaping being fined for not displaying parking coupon (5 mins je per...where got 5 mins coupon!?!), we went to Prima Deli at the CC few blks from my hse to collect his b'day cake. This surprise cake (sponsored by Mom) is my idea. Sis' deep dwn desire was a Barney cake as Amsyar is always fascinated at the Barney cakes there. I gave more than Barney. Hehe.
After that we went home & spent some video-ing him & my deco...before I decided to sms bro to ask how long more was he gonna take to reach home (the "party" was supposed 2b @ 5pm). If he's stuck in sch, then we might as well put sleepy Amsyar to sleep 1st & cut cake later @ nite when Nana's back. Since bro replied that he's reaching in 20 mins, we kept Amsyar awake (that boy hasn't slept the whole day, he was darn sleepy). 
While I was preparing for the mini-celebration, he was last seen happily playing nxt to his Mom who's eating & the nxt moment I took another glance at him, I saw him toppling backwards (while sitting)...and THUD...the back of his head hits the floor. He likes to do that on the bed...think he didn't realise he wasn't on a bed/mattress!! Bechara! He cried big-time. After that I was v. affected. Coz imagine, I hit my head...painful rite??! And he's just a baby! Skull still soft. It'd have hurt like crazy, no!??! That aside, he was also in a pissed-off mood coz he detests this b'day hat. Dunno why. He's so scared of it, he cries whenever we put it on his head, and refuse to look at us when it's on our head!

After all that hoohah...Mom changed him into the panda outfit I bought for him last wk. Shortly after, Bro came back & we got ready to cut cake, read a prayer & open his presents. Had so much fun...videoing him...but he was cranky most of the time. Sleepy. On top of that, we made him into a model. After cutting-cake, we changed him into his kurta (which we bought for him for Eid last yr...still can fit, this time, nicely) as we didn't wanna dirty the panda outfit as I wanted him to wear it to the Zoo tomorrow, so he was a lil pissed with the kurta. Took a lil goo-goo-ga-ga with him b4 he started smiling & laughing merrily on the ocassion!
After that, it's almost 6.30pm...I wanted to give a cake to Roshni's family who so sweet gave him a present. So I wanted him to come along & get their blessings. So I drove to Bdk Sth, gave the cake & goodies. Rosh, hubby Deepak & Baby Suraj was going Tamp Mall...so she asked if they cld get a lift. I told them, there's space for 2, cramped, but if they want to try to fit it, by all means. Unfortunately, my car refused to start!! Damn. Luckily, Rosh's hubby was into cars, so he taught me how to do a push-start (he push, I start!)...and the car started agn. Poor him. Not the impression I'd wanna give him on the 1st ocassion I offered to give a lift...but they truly were angels! Dropped them off @ Tamp Mall b4 driving Sis to her Pasir Ris hse to take clothes to wear for Zoo outing tomorrow.
Gonna go have an early nite...have an early morning tomorrow...going Zoo for CAAS Family Day 2007!!
