It’s Raining Babies!

I attended my first baby shower this weekend.

Baby showers aren’t really done in Singapore. I guess the main event there is the kid’s first month anniversary, when you send out the cake and red eggs and get an ang-bao with cash in return!

I just like how practical that is.

Don’t give 10 of the same thing or none of what parents want, but money, yeah…that’s the ticket.

My favorite part of the shower was the cupcakes, which came with their own plastic baby dolls—with a mohawk. Too Kool For Skool.

Still, it was interesting. There was good food, a random game called Horse Balls (you can see the contraption behind the woman on the right), and the gift opening with the obligatory “Wow! That’s so beautiful!”

I guess everyone’s got to practise saying that too: “Aw, it’s so beautiful!” when the baby’s born.

I mean, if I had an ugly baby, would anyone say it to my face?
