Nico's 1st Birthday

31 March 2008 marked Nico's 1st birthday...

Nico is created by his Singaporean daddy and Japanese mummy.. so she need to experience the traditional Japanese ceremony for child who reach their 1st 365 days of life.. On this day, It means that Nico has to shouldered a Bag Of Rice (abt the weight of Ten Cups of Glutinous Rice. Ten-Cups in Old Japanese means "Whole Life". A symbolism of "Ones will shouldered the load of their own life and walk on" :P

I thot Patrick was just joking.. how can a baby carry that amount of rice and walk? According toYasuko's experiences with other kids during this ceremony. Children cries loud and most would not even step out. However, the brave little Nico walk (tho she did cry)..

See these lovely pic.. it just pain my heart.. a little cute baby with such burden..

Poor but BRAVE Nico..

Happy Family..
