Here are the highlights of our Easter trip. Not bad, I did it in 4 days! Waha.
Despite hearing several reviews that Oslo was boring, I guess we still had a happy, peaceful and enjoyable time just relaxing and doing simple things in this capital of Norway. Perhaps it's all a matter of perspective, and what matters most is the company you are with more than the place you are in. It was Angel's first overseas trip and thus definitely a memorable one.

Happy birthday to me!!
I've always felt that birthday is a very special day in everybody's life. It's a day to be thankful for who you are, a day to appreciate what you have, a day to enjoy happiness with your beloved ones and be grateful that you have them.
In the past, I used to think that bdays need big celebration. Be it going KTV, clubbing, BBQs, or some expensive dinner, there would be something I wanna do on this special day. But, in this couple of years, I've had simple bday celebrations, and it really strikes me as to how the simple things in life can yet be the happiest.
My 27th birthday was spent with my two most loved people in the world, my dearest hubby and darling baby.
We had a really simple lunch, and I had a normal day as usual with baby at home. I didn't feel like a VVIP, but I did feel happy. =) And at night, jw came home early, armed with a cake in hand. Yay, I have a bday cake!! It was a yummy banana cake, and what melted my heart most was the family of pigs figurines. Keke. Yeah I was born in the year of pig. But how cute was it to have a mummy pig, daddy pig, and baby pig on top of my cake. Hee. Love it!!
And I finally baked the pandan egg tarts that I wanted to few weeks ago. Hee. Jw helped me with the moulding, so you could say we did the tarts together!!
We sort of ate leftovers for our dinner, haha, but still, it was a happy nite. My mum in law told me that my lunar bday was 1 day after, so I should eat mee sua or meatballs, hee, so I did using the leftover soup from the afternoon. =p
Then, after dinner, it was time for the cake!! Happy birthday mummy, happy birthday to me!! I wonder when Angel will be able to join daddy in singing the song for me, hee. Jw went solo tonight in the song singing, but still made me very touched lar. Hee. Anyway, there was only 1 candle on the cake but it took me 3 tries to blow it out. Lousy! Waha.
Our family pic, with Angel eyeing the yummy yellow cake.
And you know what, it must have been long since I've had a cake, becos' I actually forgot to make a wish!!!! Arggghhhh. So we relit the candle, keke, just so I could have my bday wish and have a 4th attempt at the candle.
Thanks dear, for this sweet and happy bday you gave me.
And to baby, it was the first time you celebrated mummy's bday. It was special because of you. Looking forward to many more mummy's, daddy's and baby's bdays!!!
I love ya!! Muacks muacks!!

Happy Easter!!
We had a really quick photoshoot before we went out to pick Huimin on the Sunday she arrived. But well, as always, these are still some memorable moments for us to remember.
So, yeah, our theme this time round was no surprisingly, EASTER!
I specially bought a tiny egg for Angel, keke. Guess she was rather fascinated by it. She looked really cute in her sleeveless colourful dress, winning the best dressed and most matching the Easter theme award!! ! Jw and I had no rainbow or colourful shirts, so we just tried to be 'bright'. In fact, jw was luminous!! Haha.
We had a really simple, peaceful and happy Easter in Oslo, Norway. It was Angel's first overseas trip!! I guess I'm going to miss this simplicity of the life we have now when we head back to sg, so I'm really cherishing all these road trips we spent together, as a family. Right, now I gotta upload our pics. It's gonna take me awhile with baby around, but stay tuned! Till the next update!!

Angel's little hand...
I like the feeling of holding Angel's tiny hand, just feeling her little fingers grasping me and holding me tight. It's such a wonder to think that my hand was once that small too.
Now that she's growing fast, I can see and feel her hand getting bigger and stronger too. So, well, just for memory keeping, I did a little handprint for her. It'll be nice if we could keep this for her to look back on years down her life, remembering the times when she was a tiny little baby. =p
Check out her new head band given by huimin gan ma, who has gone back to sg in the blink of an eye. It sure was nice to have her around, visiting the museum, eating ice cream in the cold weather, doing supermarketing, feeding swan and ducks, cooking together, playing wii fit and watching variety shows, and just catching up on each other's life.
Well, will be posting some of our easter updates soon. Till then, hope everyone had a terrific easter holidays!!
