Samuel’s 1st birthday party with friends & family

Today is Samuel’s birthday, he has just turned one. We thank God for blessing us with Samuel and we celebrated with a small party with family and friends. Grace’s parents and sister came, so did YowCH’s sister and family, and even Chee Kean and Ming Meng came all the way from PJ. A large contingent of our church care group members came, too.

This is the boss of the day:

The entire family started working on the lunch party from 7:30am. Esther cleaned the house, David helped prepare garlic, Grace made porridge for the children, Joseph bought coffee and chilli (from chicken rice shop).

The Goldhill chicken rice guys gave Samuel a birthday drumstick!

Grace’s mum made great yam cake (salty) and water chestnut cake (sweet) for Samuel’s party. Very nice!

There was much to prepare, Esther chopped mint for mojito drink, YowCH fried macaroni Cantonese-style, Joseph prepare the petai and David made great sardines (with lime and chilli).


Here’s God’s blessing to us in our lunch spread. We had Cantonese herbal soup, baked chicken and grilled prawns, too.

Here are photos of Samuel’s family and friends.


The girls led by Esther were busy making lots of great drinks.

We then had the birthday song over the water chestnut cake, and a black-out candle:

This is Samuel in his suit for the day:


Grace and YowCH got him a size-zero Adidas football.

Happy birthday, Samuel.
