Seemed like it was just yesterday I heard your faint wail in the delivery room in Pantai Hospital on 16 April 2010. Rania, you protested for being yanked out into this world from the comfort of your mom's belly. That day, you made me and your parents the happiest human beings on earth. From that day on, you hold my heart in your little hands, my angel.
Saturday 26 April 2011, you are one year old. You have grown taller, establish your personality and know what you want and don't want, which sometimes frustrated your mom. You're such a picky eater, wanting to play most of the time and rebel against going to sleep if you were not ready. I was in cloud nine when you saw me in the morning, you clapped your hands and say 'Nenek'. You're my world. I was so lucky having you when Mok died. Your presence lightened my depression of losing him but sad that you missed him too and kept calling his name over and over again.
Thistle Resort Port Dickson was the venue we celebrated your birthday. Your parents took you for a splash in the sea and in the pool in the morning. You had a great time, I was told. When I came in the afternoon you were tired and after you had your milk, you promptly fell asleep in my arms. You were so adorable!
In the evening, Mak Yang, Pak Su, Mak Su and I came over to celebrate and cut your birthday cake. Your mom bought you a cute ladybug choclate cake and we celebrated with our drinks. We sang happy birthday but we knew you didn't get what's the fuss about and you tried to grab the cake. You mom blew the single candle for you.
We opened Pak Su's and Mak Su's present and it was a beautiful white party gown. I changed you into the gown and you looked so angelic. The big mirrors in the restaurant became an attraction and you admired your reflection there.
The party broke up when you became tired and grumpy and it was time for your nap. We bade goodbye with million kisses.
May you have many more birtdays my lovely..
