His birthday happened to be right smack in the middle of my confinement period so we made do with a small celebration at home, with both sets of grandparents and aunties over for dinner. My confinement auntie volunteered to cook and whoa... did she cook up a storm. Can you believe it? We forgot to take pictures of the spread -- beehoon, curry vegetables, fried chicken, fried ngo hiang (made from scratch), and some soup just for Gabe.
The long-awaited cake cutting took place after dinner and you can see the glee on the boy's face.
I'm two and happy!!
Oh... that's meimei behind me.
Soooo happy when everyone was singing the birthday songs (both languages).
Serving cake to all the elders.
With waigong, waipo and yee yee.

Time to open presents! Rip rip rip. Gabe got so excited over this gift, which was from waipo's colleagues. Not bad hor, so distant also give presents, and a very apt one samore. Cement mixer!
This, in yee's words, is the "bestest birthday present ever" and it's a vrooom vroooom Ferrari car!!! Thank you Mark and yee!!
