sleeping princess...

on sunday evening, i attended my godma's grand-daughter's first month celebration. that makes her my god-niece. and after the umpteenth time of name choosing, they have finally decided to call her... VICTORIA HENG MAN LING! hmm.. nice name... but don't ask me the meaning. i set my eyes on her the first time yesterday... okie, i must admit that she is quite cute. minus the rash marks on her cheeks. think the heat is too much for the little girl to bear.

the celebration was quite an event. you know how normal first month celebrations are like, where guests are invited to the home for a buffet meal. and everyone swooning over the baby? this one was an eye-opener! besides the fact that everyone was looking out for the baby, who was more often than not sheltered by the number of people staring at her, my godfather actually threw an eight-table buffet at the multi-purpose hall next to his block! neighbours were walking past and from their faces, you could tell that they were clueless about what we were celebrating. not a wedding, not a birthday, definitely not a funeral... i bet they had no clue!

but on the whole, it was quite a nice affair. my grandfather was beaming with joy, being upgraded to great-grandfather now. and my godparents were definitely showing their happiness on their faces constantly, besides the fact that my godfather shuns when he sees the camera coming for him (even when i went right to the cooking area where he was cooking!) as for the baby, she is one sleeping princess... she slept when i reached at 5.30pm. she only woke up when they changed her to bring her down to the party. she continued sleeping despite the noises around her. she only occasionally peeped open with one eye to check out what's going on. and that's the start of her cheekiness...
