Yang turns nine!

Can't believe precious precious Yang is nine! He's still such a baby! And he still lets me kiss him :) So unlike Kai who refused to let me kiss him since he was nine (though he's less resistant now :p)

Yang found it sad that the holidays were just over when it was his birthday. But we still managed a celebration.

I found it sad he didn't want a cake this time. Papa brought him to choose doughnuts on their way home from school on his birthday. I prepared a candle to stick on the resulting cake stack.

Happy birthday, my Yang Yang!

It being the first week of the term and Yang's birthday week, we didn't do work in the afternoons. Just let them play. Payback will come, haha!

Headed out to Swensen's for dinner. Each boy had a different bowl of ice cream - all free from the membership! They were all running on cold sugar, goodness...

Coz Kai didn't want to move over to our side

It was Hari Raya Haji two days later so we met the grands for lunch at Star Vista to celebrate Yang's birthday. Char siew noodles for Yang, roast duck for Kai and roast pork for Yu - just nice! Then we went to Macs for an ice cream treat. Yes, ice cream again... We were too indulgent!

Yu nua-ing on AhYe at lunch

The boys took the grands' phones *.*

Yang will take his first exams next term. Big milestone. I'm scared coz he cannot spell or remember Chinese words like Kai or even Yu. But we will try and work hard together!
