Sweetie is 7

 

Deborah is 7 years old on 18 Aug 2014.

 

She celebrated her birthday with her friends in Hosanna Kids.

 

 

The Frozen dress that she simply adores and couldn't wait to put it on....

 

Her lovely Sunday School teacher, sister Pearline prepared a birthday celebration. The girls beside Deborah are new friends from Empart (Elder Stephane's daughters).

 

 

We had a simple birthday celebration at home on Sunday, 17 Aug 2014 with our extended families. We ordered dishes from the Zi Char stall along Joo Chiat Road - fried rice, mee goring, coffee pork ribs, mummy's chicken, yam ring, stir-fry kai lan which costs us $132 in total. Much more economical compared to catering a mini buffet which would have cost us at least another $150 more.

 

The highlight was the beautiful Rainbow cake which I ordered online from Room For Dessert (website: www.roomfordessert.com.sg) for $120.00, plus a $15 delivery charge. The cheese coating on the outside makes the cake taste very sweet. But I have to say, the bright rainbow colours made up for it. We could also taste some difference in taste for different coloured layers. There was a very light lemon taste too.

 

 

The final celebration was held in school with her classmates, together with Ezanne and Bernice on 20 Aug 2014. The children had bee hoon, fishballs, fried wan tons and Ribena before the cake cutting.

 

The rainbow doll cake was the best deal I got for all the birthday celebrations. It was an offer from Groupon by iCake Creative. The cake weighs 2 kg and costs me just $83.90, including delivery.

Best of all, it was a rainbow cake. Just look at the many layers of colours it has.

And it was the most delicious cake! The sweetness was just right.



 

 

 

 

Deborah was really happy celebrating her birthday with her classmates.

 

 

 

Deborah is in Primary One.

Yes! Time is so fast that my eldest daughter is now in Primary One.

 

By this time, it is already her 3rd week in Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' School (Primary), my alma-mater.

 

She is waking up at 5.55am every weekday and returns home at about 2pm. You could easily see the tiredness in their eyes as she was adjusting to her new schedule during the first two weeks.

 

 

 

 

First day in school when I was with her in the canteen before assembly. She was very excited and we are proud she was adapting to the new environment with such a cheerful and positive attitude.

 

Day two during her recess.

We used to laugh at my niece-in-law, Glynis for buying chee cheong fun for her recess everyday from Primary 1 to 3.

Now, apparently, Deborah is buying cheese tofu (three for a dollar) every day in school! Haha... what goes around indeed comes around.

 

The school's theme this year is "Strive for Excellence".

When Deborah came home from school yesterday, I was delighted when she was able to recite Colossians 3:23 by heart.

 

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for man."

 

It is our prayers that Deborah will continue to grow into a woman of fine & godly character, giving her best to the Lord Jesus in everything she does.
