Wow! What an event! The nite before her birthday baby Apsie could not sleep and cried so much. The daddy assumed that she’s very excited because Aunt Meryl and Grandma Ina is in the room sleeping with us but I think it’s just because she can feel the excitement building up for the ‘event’!!!
The baptism starts at 10am so we all caught the taxi by 8.55am from our apartment at Evergreen View Tower, Bangna to The Holy Redeemer Church at Ruamrudi Rd, Bangkok.
Everyone was ushered into the chapel at the repository, 2nd floor where we met Father Peter who conducted the baptism for us. He requested for us to choose a Saint’s name for Aps but we decided to let Aps choose one herself during confirmation or when she’s 12 years old. Therefore Father Peter baptised Aps with her own Thai name for .
The celebration lasted 45 minutes and Aps cried everytime Father Peter came near;p but she behaved beautifully at her birthday party at Seasons Cafe located right in front of the church. We had Father Peter, Philip’s workmates, my parents & sister (Livy) with che che Mione, Philip’s mum and sister (Marilyn) with us. A shout out for Khun Mam of Seasons Cafe outstanding service coz she helped us get Aps birthday cakes from the bakery next door.
The buffet spread they prepared for us was beautiful and everyone enjoyed the traditional thai cakes served as desserts. Aps was feeling grand with all the presents that she received and had a great time running around the cafe.
Thank you to everyone for being there with us. And for those who can’t be with us on that special day, your wishes are blessings and everyone will be in our memory of Aps 1st birthday celebration in this world.
And to Aunty Meryl/Godmother Marilyn Thanx so much for being Aps godmother! We know that she is good hands and you will guide her in her growth towards Jesus. We love you loads muah, muah, muah;p
