Happy 6th Bday Zaky!

There was no big bang for the little tiger this year - no bday party, no goodie bags and no celebration in school. In exchange, we had a family-only little huddle in Batam, where he blew a candle on a slice of oreo cake.

Was he upset? Very much not and he so enjoyed the Batam holiday, the constant dwelling in the arcade. It was almost like we lived in the arcade and not the hotel. Lol.

We bought him a real ice cream bday cake on Thursday bcos he had a full day of classes on his actual bday the next day.

He was again happy with the little celebration and he made a wish real hard.

Bcos there was no party, he didn't get many presents like he used to but he didn't complain, contended with the little celebration that we gave him.

On Friday, he turned 6 but was busy with school's full dress rehearsal in the morning, Chinese enrichment in the afternoon and TKD sparring in the evening. He did get a small bday present from his TKD master and was happy with the little badge, chocolate and lollipops. It made me realised that big party or not, the kids didn't really mind.

We did buy him his bday present after class on Friday night. Nope, we didn't get him a hover board or segway; they are way too expensive and the Centris poolside isn't the most conducive place to use them. He got this instead.

He was of course very pleased with it and kept asking to play with it. He agreed though that mummy will have to set a time limit.

Happy bday Zaky. May you grow strong and healthy. Love you loads.
