Busy Sunday

Yesterday left me Mia feeling completely exhausted today. It was the most busiest weekend ever. We attended Filya and Sheherol's bersanding ceremony at Polo club, dashed home for a quick shower then on to Alai's house to celebrate Mokhtar's 11th birthday then go home only to get dressed to go out again to have dinner with my family at Nyonya to celebrate Father's Day. I felt quite guilty because it was Father's Day but we did not spend much quality time with Mia's Daddy. I hope I can make it up to him this Sunday instead.

The wedding was the first one that Mia has ever attended. It was nice to be surrounded by so many friends and family in one room. I saw old faces and met new ones too. I think that this will be the first and last wedding for Mia for at least a couple of more months. The timing of the wedding functions coincides with Mia's lunch time nap so she was quite cranky at the wedding. Although we were indoors (with air-conditioner) Mia was still hot and uncomfortable. Luckily I put on her just a cotton dress. Nevertheless, I think Mia had a great time at the wedding, seeing new faces and being fussed over.


After the wedding, we went to pick up some lunch for Daddy and quickly met up with Mia's Auntie Mama & Uncle Jack. They decided to kidnap Mia for a short while and bring her shopping. These two sweet people bought Mia an early "Mandi Belawat gift", well two actually. A beautiful white gold Pendant & necklace set and a bangle. Thank you to the beautiful mama and handsome papa-to-be. We now have another Bangle to Mia's collection. A latest craze for her. Whenever I put a bangle or bracelet on her, she will just lift up her hand trying to show it off to everyone. Its so adorable, it cracks me up. Auntie Mama is getting more bigger by the minute. Baby Heff is already 3.5kg in her tummy. I'm sure Mia is as excited as I am to see her new cousin. "Hurry up Heff"!

Around 4pm we made our way to Mokhtar's birthday party. It started at 2.30pm and we got there two hours later. I felt terrible for being late. The kids played a few games and so did the adults. Well, we played one game, Pin the tail on the Donkey. It was hilarious to see adults pinning the tail on the donkey and we still got it wrong...haha. We had munchies and Mr.Baker's chocolate cake. All in all, it was a great afternoon.

When we got home, we rested for a while. I changed Mia and fed her then took a shower. We then made our way to Nyonya to meet Mum, Bapa and the rest. By this time, I was exhausted and Mia seemed sleepy too. But as soon as she saw the grandparents, aunties and uncles, her face lit up and she was wide awake again. Dinner was yummy and company was great!
