Gwendolyn had her 2nd birthday party in school on 21 April 2006! Grandma and grandpa came purposely to celebrate her birthday! In the morning, everyone sent Gwendolyn to school at around 8:50am but she refused to stay, thinking why she's being left in school when no one is working! After a little struggle and Mama get her to go into her "fans'" class (please note that she has a fan club with the K2 class jie jies). The girls surrounded her and smoked a little, so that Grandma, grandpa and mama can go off to get her birthday cake for her! At around 11:30pm, everyone arrived back in school with a Hello Kitty birthday cake, waiting for the children to have their lunch before we cut the cake! Grandma and grandpa were amazed that Gwendolyn can eat her lunch all by herself!
After that, Ms Shu Ping and Ms Lay Cheng cleared the table to make way for the cake, followed by the entrance of her fan club members! All sang "Happy Birthday" in both English and Mandarin. So funny that everyone else knew what was happening except for Gwendolyn. She didn't have a clue why she was seated there, surrounded by so many people singing so loudly next to her!
After that, Gwendolyn requested to CUT the cake (her favourite action at every single "cake cutting" event) and then helped to distribute her "Thomas" plates for the cut cakes.
After we have finished with the cakes (during the session, the fire alarm went off and there was a "sudden" fire drill. Everyone went down to take attendance, including grandma, grandpa, mama and papa...), the children started with playing with balloons! That was how Gwendolyn got closely acquainted to Gong Gong in the next few days!
After celebrating in school, all of us went to Suntec City, Toys R Us to buy toys for Gwendolyn. Initially, we wanted to get her a tricycle, quadricycle or motored car for her. However, she is too big for the tricycle or too young for the others. We gave up the idea in the end. We concentrated on more Thomas the train vcds, Thomas the train toys, etc. But we spent a long time at Toys R Us and then the Early Learning Centre shop next door, as she saw plenty of familiar toys she played in school! We went home after a quick dinner at Country Mama and quickly got home to open her birthday presents together! What did papa and mama bought for Gwendolyn? A foldable kitchen set! All of us were amazed when she started saying "Fire! High!"...
