It's Boe Yin's 1st birthday on last Wednesday, we celebrated it on last Saturday night, with some relatives and friends, he was happy with smiling face when people sang him the birthday song. Traditionally, we will put varieties of objects on a small table for the birthday boy to choose, the common items are book, pen, toy, apple, sweet, toy, drinks, biscuits... Every child must go through this norm when he or she turn one year old. As people says, the first thing he picks may indicate what he is in future. If he choose pen, it means he should be a knowledgeble and intelligent man in future. If he choose toy, means he would be a very playful guy...
I purposely went to 'pasar' to buy some apples on that day. At night, with the help of two sisters, we gathered the objects on the small table and let Boe Yin choose. Haha... the first thing he chosed was the yummy Lychee packet drinks, that he tried before. I believe he must be still remember the taste of the drinks and would like to have it again, so he was so happy when he saw that packet, and straight away snatched it before it has been taken away by somebody else. Usually, we would not allow him to hold packet drinks by himself, we will quickly take it away before he could reach it.
I do not know what does this indicated, but I think he is a clever boy, he was so sharp to capture the thing that he like. Anyway, we just took this as something fun to do during his birthday.
