*This entry is dedicated to you, Humaira. Uncle hope you will visit this particular entry when you grow older and realize how special you are to me*

This is how you looked like when Uncle & Aunty Fida first met you, Humaira. It was taken in A&W Subang Jaya, the night we had dinner with your parents after your mum got back from Terengganu. You were four months old. We learnt the hard way that you are able to hit high notes this young. Thanks for that friendly gesture, dear.

So last Saturday your dad and your mum threw a small birthday party for you, celebrating your first birthday. Uncle and Aunty Fida went to your house in Klang that afternoon just to witness how overjoy you were that day. 

Aunty Fida playing with you…

I bet you won’t remember this, but I think you were waiting for me to hit the shutter while you give me that pose and look. Simply cute!

That was how much you enjoy cutting your first birthday cake. We kept calling your name so that you look at the camera, but I guess the cake looks more interesting than I do. You enjoyed cutting the cake so much that you literally get mad every time anyone tries to take the plastic knife away.

Yeah, I know that this picture is way too off-focus by any standard. But this one is definitely a keepsake of mine. This is exactly how excited you were, running out of the room with that ladybird costume of yours. The whole house broke in laughter that very moment. 

You with your CJ7 pet. It was way too funny to see a big ladybird trying to rumble that huge CJ7 pet.

You awaiting your bottle of milk from your mum.

You trying to look cute while taking picture while your dad putting your shoes on.

If you are wondering what might that blue light be, that would be the television. Yeap, you like to watch your cartoons THAT close to the television set.

Owh, you may want to know that some of your friends were there too.

This is Kak Iman. Uncle Mang’s eldest daughter.

and this is Aisyah. Uncle Mang’s second daughter.

and this cute little princess here, is Uncle Najib’s daughter, Aina.

So there you go Humaira, your first birthday party. I hope I will be able to attend your birthday party as many as possible. Should that not happen later, I hope you enjoy seeing this photo years to come.

Cheers, 

Your Uncle Ben
