Photo of the Year

Ha!Ha! How much cuter can Hannah get than this great photoshot!

This is not a great looking shot but it shows the indianboyfriend wearing SHORTS in winter! Hmm.. the garden is hard work and it generate a lot of perspiration.

The perfect mowed lawn... after making adjustments to the height of the law mover.

And we thought that the chilli plant died on us. With the nursing hand of Dr myabkuteh, you can see the buds are shooting out again!

And Sarge Wen says the roses in the front are dying because of the dry winter. Again Nurse indianboyfriend did some watering and look at the lovely bloom.

Here is a close up! Hmm this morning the rains came at last... This is the dryest and coldest winter yet. But we see some weather reprieve and mybakuteh thinks we are heading for Spring!
Tomorrow is Hannah visiting day!

Success Gardening Company

Called up Success Play School subsidiary, Success Gardening, and had the back lawn trimmed. That is round one as today we need to do a final touch. While the manager of Success Gardening aka the indianboyfriend, and the assistant manager aka mybakuteh were doing the job, we came across the a weed. Think Australia has the prettiest weed in the world!

Believe it or not, thies is a weed. Looks like a colourful butterfly!

We transplanted the little banana after chopping down two bushes. Hmm inspired by Xian to name it Hannah Banana!

The dragon fruit got transplanted to and is growing well with a cluster of roots. Mybakuteh says. "Stick it there and it will grow!"

And on cold winter nights, there is nothing like steaming hot soup and warm cooked dishes! Think it will be warmer this week which means temp over 3 degrees at night! Brr... still cold. Taking a shower each day is a challenge.

Dear Hannah's Big Day

Yesterday was Hannah's Big Day. First of all must find the house to celebrate.

Special Hannah ballons to mark the address. Unfortunately the strong wind blew away the first two balloons and they really flew sky high!

And wonderful self decorated birthay cake. The Shamu is hand made by the Father and the prettiest, the Lion is crafted by the Mummy. See.

And look what happened to the giant cake after the cake was cut!

Hmm, all the while, it was the Birthday Girl who presided over the cake cutting and distribution.

Hmm quietly dipping her finger into the lemonade and putting it in her mouth.

A too excited moving Hannah with the indianboyfriend.

A better picture with Mummy and the cake!

And a happy mybakuteh looking on the princess. Look at the solitary candle burning bright!

A final close up of dear Hannah and the cake!

Look at the pressies Hannah got!

And soon it was pressie opening time after most of the guests have left.

Lovely dresses from Auntie Joey!

Look at the spread!

The event was so exciting that Pirate slept through it.

Justinn kept whinning when he saw all those balloons so we had to give him one which he held on throughout the party!

Next was play time with the balls in the trough!

A sit up position.

Ha!Ha! Buried in the sea of balls.

Takes sometime for her to enjoy it.

Ah Chek who had to run out to get more KFC when the first round ran out. Must be finger licking good!

No more KFC so Hannah sucks her thumb with mybakuteh!

Time to smile when Ah Chek returned with the 60 pieces of chicken!

Hannah with the indianboyfriend. Pic taken by Ah Chek and now the new FB home page pic! Hmm doctored the black background a bit.

Happy with Aunt Angela... And to cap up the celebrations, here is a pic from the FB video of her walking with a walker on her birthday. Come next winter, no more walker for sure, Happy 1st Birthday Hannah!

A standing ovation for all family members and friend who came and brought lovely pressies. And all who worked silently to make the party a big Success!!!!
