Dearest Arwen,
My baby darling. You turned 2 years old today. I can't believe it! I know how fast kids grow but I still can't believe it. You are so adorable and such a joy. We didn't have a celebration today because we are having a big party on your behalf next Saturday (pictures seen above). Bak and I invited friends and family to celebrate your birthday. I love you darling, Happy Birthday!

Your 2nd Birthday
We had your birthday party on 27 Oct 2007 (Sat). It was the 14th day of Syawal - so everybody was still in Raya mood. It was also a cum Raya open house and housewarming party for us because your Bak and I have never invited so many people to our house before. This is the very first big makan-makan ever for us! It was a first experience for us throwing such a big party. We rented a tent, tables and chairs. Guest list was around 180 over people. Of course, not everyone could attend but it was a great get together and you my dear are so very lucky. You received so many birthday presents and so much duit raya/duit birthday. As it is, you received RM187.00 from Hari Raya and on the day of the party you received RM453.00!! That's a lot of money for a 2 year old kid. We deposited your money in the bank. We don't think you need any more toys. You received 25 birthday presents excluding presents from Mama and Bak. Here's the list of presents. (You ought to know by now how I'm a bit obsessed with keeping lists) - it really helps you to appreciate what other people have done for you. They spent their time and money just for you my little baby girl. Ok, here goes

Your favourite present was the masak2 play set from Tok Bak. There's a teapot, akettle, 4 teacups etc. You took any one of them with you when you mandi, wash for diaper change, out to the park, min air kat depan rumah. Mama sampai pening sebab Arwen nak main air aje. Dalam rumah pun nak main air.
It was a great party but oh so tiring. Nasib baik Tok and Mak Cik Liza (Tok's friend) were there to help from start to finish. You also had fun playing with your cousins, blowing the candles on your birthday cake. Oh, if you are wondering what Mama and Bak got for you...well, I bought you the pink tricycle before your birthday came and after your birthday Bak bought you thr Braun Disney Princess electric toothbrush.
Happy 2nd Birthday Darling. Mama and Bak love you so very very much!
