When I turned 1 (some 28 years ago), my mum cooked up a storm and invited the neighbours. I had a birthday cake in the shape of the numeral "1"! Back then, THAT was a big deal. Well, my nephew Cyan turned 1 lately and his parents threw him a party with about fifty guests. Got the caterers to handle everything. The food was quite good and there was even a satay stall. Being my sister's favourite, the birthday cake turned out to be a brownie from Secret Recipe. Each slice was completed with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sinful. An interesting part of the festivities included a ritual of "choices". Several items were put in a tray in front of him, and he was allowed to grab the stuff that caught his eye.
  1. Chicken drumstick (aku suka makan?)
  2. Ruler (future engineer?)
  3. Book (scholar?)
  4. Pencil (writer?)
  5. Rubber stamp (official?)
  6. Calculator (accountant?)
  7. Credit Card (businessman?)

FYI, the first thing Cyan grabbed was the book. From afar, he smiled and crawled over and grabbed it without noticing the rest. The rubber stamp was his second choice. I think I would've grabbed a porn DVD. Oh well...
