i'm 1 years old now!

this is exactly the moment one year after my birth: 16 april 15:20 hrs. 

actually the next day was my birthday so we had the birthday cake at my grandparents and drank from my cups. my parents had them printed with my name and birthdate as dol souvenirs for the guests. 

here's a good view on the dol table. dad said i did a good job. well, i think so too. a prosperous, auspicious future sounds not bad... whatever it means.

there wasn't much choice, no laptop, no car, no books... so i chose rice. it symbolizes a prosperous, auspicious future. note my name is carved in the pineapple. 

finally, here are the pictures of the big celebration last april 15th in seoul. dol is the korean name for baby's first birthday and it seems the most important one. they said that the next birthday they're gonna celebrate is my 65th... and all birthdays in between are of no significance.

it looks like mom started to sort out my birthday pictures. i'm hoping she will upload the one of me in my birthday dress soon..
