Vic celebrated her first double digit birthday, and William his 7th birthday in a joint celebration this year. A simple bash at Souled Out, Hartamas again with only the grandparents and parents. We picked up their ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins in Mont Kiara before dinner.
The food was average (I strongly feel they need to revamp their menu) and service below average, compared to previous years. It's also unfortunate this year we were given a table downstairs in the open area, where it's almost impossible to hold a conversation without raising our voices. And you'd think we'd get more attention where the action is, but no, our waiter was unfriendly and slow. Sigh... I was already telling hubby on the way home that we will need to convince William to change his birthday venue preference to a new place.
Anyway, that aside... here are some pictures for memories.

| My baby boy with his all-time (and I really mean it, ALL TIME) favourite! A plate of carbonara (or carborana as he calls it) will definitely light up his day! |
 |
| And Vic always enjoy burger and chips! |
 |
| Family pic for the record. |
 |
| See how big my girl has grown? She's taller than Kakak now and always tease the helper. |
 |
| The ice cream cake that was frozen hard like a rock and then melts so fast like a floating iceberg, we had to gobble down our share and then quickly put it back in the icebox! |
 |
| The April babies cut their cake |
See how time flies? In another 7-8 years, my firstborn would be entering college and I might still be calling her to remind her to wash her hands, sleep early, etc.
For my Vic
Yes, Vic - know that your mummy here loves you DESPITE, DESPITE all the nagging I give you, all the grumblings yet I quietly marvel at how you're now taking it in good stride.
You're still shy to hug, but I noticed how you now make an effort to bend forward.
You love to help, sometimes putting your priorities all wrong but you're also teaching me to let go. You are very sentimental, from Heh Heh to Doggy, to your hair and favourite tee.
At night, you're still the little girl who wants mummy or daddy by your side until you close your eyes. A song, or a small chat maybe... just to get the winks coming.
Yes, you've been through some changes in life, not by choice but mummy saw how you brave it up. Bravo, my princess! This year we praise God for putting you in a position of leadership, as class monitor. Therefore, practice humility and hone your leadership skill, dear.
There are many lessons still to learn, challenges to conquer, fears to overcome but take it all with every ounce of positiveness you have. Choose your friends wisely, and never forget to pray. Most importantly, remember always that Mummy Daddy is always there for you.
For my William
And William - my youngest but not the least. Always joyful and forgiving. Ready to share and give. I love the smell of your hair, even when you're sweaty after school hours.
When you're sick, you never cry or complain. You eat your medicines obediently and even expectantly! I'm proud even to say you can tell your paed all your symptoms accurately, whilst mummy sat there feeling a little useless.
When you're bored, a piece of paper and pen or a book, or two cars will keep you happily occupied.
When you're happy, you're always cheeky and witty.
When you're sad, it takes only a while to bring the smile back.
So keep loving, keep reading for the world is your oyster, and keep those flying kisses for you mummy dearest and that running hug for your daddy.
