Tyler's birthday party

We went to Tyler's birthday party today. Tyler is John and Cheryl son. Cheryl is Chiew Hong's cousin. Chiew Hong is my former housemate. Anyway, the nasi lemak that Chiew Hong's husband cooked is excellent, better than most Malaysia restaurants in Houston. Meredith had a blast too, she played with Tyler's toy trucks, toy cars and even a mini-slide in their house. The funniest thing when they brought out the birthday cake, Meredith dropped everything she was doing and went to the coffee table. All the kids crowd around the table, somehow she managed to squeeze her way to get a spot next to the birthday boy. They gave her a slice of the birthday cake, and she goobled it down in about 5 minutes. Normally, it took about 45 minutes and multiple threats and chasing around to get Meredith to eat her rice or porridge. But she doesn't need any encouragement from us when it comes to cake and desserts.
