So, lots of pictures in this update post. I think we&#8217;re blessed in that both Hannah and Peter&#8217;s birthdays are in the month of June &#8211; which nicely coincides with the stipulated school holidays in the public school calendar. We celebrated both their birthdays at home; with friends in Hannah&#8217;s case, and with our larger family for Peter. Hannah is of course at an age now where she recognizes the significance of having a birthday, and that it&#8217;s not just about having more presents and toys to play with. Peter on the other hand was completely nonplus about it and probably wondered what all the fuss was about when the family all gathered around him for the celebration song.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20533\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20533\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-hannah-DSC03640-birthday.jpg\" alt=\"Hannah just turned five!\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-hannah-DSC03640-birthday.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-hannah-DSC03640-birthday-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20533\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hannah just turned five!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20535\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20535\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-hannah-OL6A5882-brunch-prata-wira-copy.jpg\" alt=\"And received from us a Nikon compact camera as a birthday present. \" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-hannah-OL6A5882-brunch-prata-wira-copy.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-hannah-OL6A5882-brunch-prata-wira-copy-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">And received from us a Nikon compact camera as a birthday present.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20532\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20532\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-children-OMDB6962-evening-play.jpg\" alt=\"Hannah admiring her just taken-selfie, while Peter looks bewildered at the bounced flash that just triggered to take this picture.\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-children-OMDB6962-evening-play.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-children-OMDB6962-evening-play-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-children-OMDB6962-evening-play-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20532\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hannah admiring her just taken-selfie, while Peter looks bewildered at the bounced flash that just triggered to take this picture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20534\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20534\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/blog-2014-hannah-IMG_2546-swimming.jpg\" alt=\"We haven't bought Hannah a lot to swim in the new main pool @ Minton, given that our weekends have been quite packed with activities.
