RAIN OR SHINE

It's raining again. Out of the blue, Andrew's post about rain came into mind.

He says that when it rains, it seems like the sky is crying.

But why does the sky cry, Andrew? Who does it cry for?

I know though that it is not crying for me, for I don't think that anyone ever will.

Even though it's not crying for me, I still hope that it will go on raining. Unlike Andrew who wishes for the sun, I wish that the rain will never stop. For at least there's someone crying with me.

Not long now

I apologise ............... I had been missing in action for a fairly long time. It's still kinda hard to be enthusiastic about the things around me. Some days seemed almost normal and the other days, I try to look normal. I can't remember when was the last time I laughed just because I was happy and not because I had to be happy.

Do give me a bit more time and space, for I am still in the process of getting my act together. It's much slower than I want it to be but I am getting there.

I am Esther and nothing stops me from getting to where I want.

I will be back and when that time comes, be there to welcome me with open arms.

KEN'S BIG 3-O

Both Kelly and Andrew had already blogged about Ken's birthday celebration, so it seems I am the last :p My morale at work has been at an all time low and this is seriously affecting the way I am doing things. I can't seem to be enthusiastic about anything (even blogging) and all I want to do are mindless stuffs to while my time away. I am also procrastinating big time as well. Anyway I had better snap out of it soon or this is going to grow so big and swallow me whole :(

Enough said ......... Lots of pictures to show all of you.

My mum gave Ken an early birthday treat in Sakae Sushi

Meg is impressively completely hooked on Salmon Sashimi

Happily enjoying her sashimi

Mum & Meg

All of us love Japanese food

Happy happy family

Both of them love making fun of each other

Trying out a new angle :p

Taking Zijian's ride to the Singapore Flyer

We thought it's a great idea to take the Singapore Flyer as part of Ken's birthday celebration

Stole this off Andrew's FB

Check out Meg's elated expression. She's been pestering to ride the Singapore Flyer ever since the construction started. Finally wish come true!

And I stole this off Kelly's FB ........

We're a good -looking family, ain't we? Haha ........

My 2 dearest darlings

We never leave Princess Meow Meow out from our outings

Meg's getting real grown up now

The guys - Edmund, Zijian, Kenneth, Andrew & Chang

NDP rehearsal in progress

Loving you so much sweetheart. Hope you enjoyed yourself on that day :D

A very big thank you to Marilyn for helping me arrange the birthday celebration. *muacks*

Gorgeous view

The bestest friends that anyone can ask for

Now ladies turn to take a pic - Meg, Moi, Kelly, Marilyn & Celine

Group pic! A bunch of really great friends.

They're so sweet together

Both Kelly & Mar dotes a lot on Meg & never fails to make her feel important when we go out.

Actually so does Edmund. I think they will be terrific parents. I so can't wait to see them have their own kids!

Meg loves taking pictures of Princess Meow Meow

Meg took this pic but says it failed cos Meow Meow not looking at the camera -_-""

Says this is better but still not good enough. Only Kelly & Mar are 'crazy' enough to go through all these with her.

Meg enjoyed her ride thoroughly especially with Mar & Kelly to accompany her

Realised that they had Build-a-Bear Workshop there & decided to fluff Meow Meow up. Meg complains that she's getting too soft.

Mar & Ed couldn't resist & got a cute top for their precious 'Burger'

Meow Meow bought a new set of clothing too. Just gotta love her Hello Kitty panties!

Birthday dinner in Hanabi @ Vivo City

Meg's official baby sitter

It was intended to be a surprise but as usual we were unable to outwit him.

Meg refused to budge & insisted on sitting in front

A great night with great friends

I love this little imp

Yummy strawberry shortcake from Four Leaves - Ken loves strawberries

Love is all around ........

Ken's photophobic so he had a hard time with so many cameras focusing on him

Birthday pressie from all of us

A good-looking watch from Emporio Armani
Thank you everyone for making this night a memorable one

Decided to chill out @ 1 Rochester after dinner

Contented to just stay happy like this forever

Meg was getting very bored

Actually so was I, thus decided to ............

Celebrated Ken's & his grandma's birthday

Uncle Thomas bought this beautiful dress from Vietnam for Meg

Instructed Meg to hold Ken's nephew but she believes resting that hand on his shoulder will suffice

Treated Ken to a Korean BBQ in Suntec on his actual birthday

Both of them likes to come up with funny stuffs

Lovely cake baked by Aunty Mary

Meg insisted on coming up with unusual poses

Happy birthday once again sweetie & may all your wishes come true! We love you! *muacks*
