May Babies : 4, 18, 23 May, 2012

To close month of May 2012...every year three family members will celebrate 3 birthdays in a row... ni endO bingkrup dahnyO sambung ga ngintu gawai kitai iban....Enggai Speak me...Tu meh gamal sida 3 ke celebrate birthdays.
Begining of May..my niece Isabella Umi aka Cumi celebrate her 7 birthday on 4th May at her home.
cumi with "pink kaler" bday cake, her own choice.
singing bday songs...look at Gil
making a "wish" before blowing the candles
cutting of bday cake, let mummy help...
dara lah iyo ko dlm ati cumi...enda berasai meda iya 
dah 7 years old, with love from mummy to cumi,
 "mi ku ka" ko gil..so cute
cumi & chill (sweet & pretty)

Following week, my princess turns 18 years old on 18th May, no big party as she was excited to enter kolej Matrix and knowing money will be much needed there instead, her priority is education so she insists that money be spend wisely, she believes birthdays can be celebrated every year, furthermore, she celebrated her bday twice; one with her friends (Youth Anglican church extension TT), and a simple one with family, we had pizza at Pizza Hut, Permyjaya to start off, then blowing of candles & cake cutting at home sweet home with family members. I'm so proud of her, she's matured for her age and knows her priority in life.
 she's 18 years old now..but still "my baby" at heart
thanking mami armand (sis in law) for treating us 
at Pizza Hut on her bday.
looking so lovely at 18 years old...
nyau tuai asai mummy tu, ma anak udah dara "cweet 18"
chill, armand & elder brother..smilex2 oopss lapa
Armand nyo??
3 4 kali belagu bday songs...all laughter
making a "wish"..may all her wish come true, amen.
dah blow candles then....as usual
cutting bday cake, the rest of the children look anxiously
ka minta a piece of bday cake meh nya, but first must
goes to the bday girl...with love from mummy
chill with elder bro boboy & little armand

To wrap-up May babies birthday is my elder son who turns 23 years old on 23rd May, just realize that this year my son and daughter age coincide with their date of birth....simply awesome! On the evening of my son's birthday was a rushx2, as my grandfather who came from LA took an 8:00 p.m. bus from Miri/LA, so it was rather rushing, however, we managed to celebrate it with joy and love.... since, my mom and grandfather stayed at my brother's home, so my son's celebrate his birthday at my brother's home....here are  few shots of the same birthday pictures/scene, blowing of candles, making a "wish", cutting a bday cake and feed loved ones with a piece of cake... it may look boring to viewers, readers... but the thought of remembering our dear ones on their birthday that counts.....it shows how much we love and care for someone dear to us... the scale of celebration is not that important, but if anyone wish to celebrate lavishly baka dalam TV, well I'm not against it, it is a blessings that God gives each one of us.
23 years old oledi ha!! dah bujang meh anak mummy tu
enggai nyimpan atas mija enggai enda migai bday cake
ka lain ari adik iya la kunun, after singing bday song,making a wish,
 blow of bday candles, then cutting of bday cake...
ala sayang anak bujang mummy, wishing my son
all the best in his future undertakings and of excellent health
in honor of tuan punyer rumah, to aunty (mummy armand)
with love from bday boy..nyawa sapa yang besai buka?? hihi
cumi, gil & armand meh di beri bday boy a piece of
his bday cake, bcoz his younger siblings are away
from home...huhuhu
one for the album, this year my elder son
celebrates his birthday without his younger siblings
both are away....hmmmm mummy missed them too.

I may not be able to give my children luxurious birthday gifts, and they knew, as I could not afford it, however to me, thanking our Heavenly Father for His blessings, protection, love, grace and mercy that He showers upon my children is much more expensive, priceless than any other gifts in this world, every year I only can give my children a prayer as their birthday gifts besides kisses and huggss..... I know God knows how much my children meant to me, how much I love them and wish to spoil them like any other parents do, but what can I say when the situation doesn't permit, I pray that Jesus will continue to leave His peace, favor, blessings upon my children...all praise & glory to God and Jesus for his awesome gifts and love.

Till we meet again next year, same day & month....take care...adioussss!!

Kak wai would like to thanked friends Nancy D & hubby, Jimmy M & wife and; my cousin Indai Ijil & Apai Ijil for their kind assistance and hospitality while I was in Labuan, sending my daughter to continue her studies at Matriculation College, without their assistance it would not be easy and smooth as it was... Only God can repay all the kindness, assistance rendered to me and my daughter, and it was a pleasure meeting with them too. May the good Lord continue to shower all of them with many more blessings, love and favor...Amen.

I believe there will be more trips to Labuan Island, till then....take care and God bless.
