This was taken in December 2007. It was my first birthday with my son and also my first birthday as a mommy. Daddy got me a surprise birthday flowers. He said, “The 2 big bears are daddy and mommy whereas the small little bear is our son.”

The card reads, “Happy Birthday to my lovely wife. From Husband and Baby”. Short and sweet but… a bit formal. Instead of the typical “F.R.O.M”, I’d prefer something out-of-the-line like maybe… “Luv the way you do it” LOL!

December 2008… (Sarah’s scratching her head trying to recall..) I think this was when it marked the dawn of boredom in birthday celebrations especially the first 2 years of juggling motherhood without much help. Concentration then was fully dispensed on diapers, breast feeding, injections…

December 2009… Let’s not be too optimistic about birthday celebrations coz concentration is now landing on savings for my son’s education and my very own retirement from MYR1. Oh, before I can even touch that starting line, I still have a full lap to go… where to print cash! Alamak!
