Yesterday Miriam Yeung and Real Ting hosted a zoo-themed party to celebrate their son Torres' 1st birthday at a hotel in Admiralty. There was a large stage set decorated with cartoon animals and colorful words that read, "Welcome to Torre's 1st Birthday Celebration". Real was dressed in an elephant costume, while Miriam and Torres had matching Rilakkuma costumes on.

After the party, Miriam expressed her childhood dream was to own a zoo, she hoped to give a memorable birthday celebration to her son. Did Torres enjoy himself? She laughed: "He slept for two hours! I didn't plan a birthday party for him until now because I was really fat before and didn't want to be seen in public, so I didn't hold a 100th day birthday party for him. (There was a donation box at the party!) I told my friends not to buy gifts, I rather them donate money. Everything I own was given to me from society, so I want to donate the money gifts to the children at a special education school under my son's name. (How did Torres react to his parents' animal costumes?) Haha! He was so scared! I learned from this experience that Cosplay is really difficult. The amount of sweat coming out of me was more excessive than a 10 meter run, but the seniors had immunity. They thought I was playing them when I asked them to dress like animals."

Real praised how well behaved Torres was, they were taking pictures for 2 hours and he didn't cry at all. On Weibo, Real posted a family photo and wrote: "He's mines... my dearest baby!" Yesterday the Ting family spent at least HK$150,000 on this party; there was a buffet and fun activity booths for the children.

Wilfred Lau attended the party dressed in the same Rilakkuma costume as Miriam and Torres, but he wasn't afraid wearing the same costume. It turns out Wilfred and Real were classmates back in elementary school. Asked what birthday gift he got for Torres? He said they didn't want gifts, they rather take a money gift to donate to charity. When asked why he didn't go to the party with girlfriend Joey Yung? He said: "She has work, we will donate money together! (How much?) I'm not telling you, so you can keep on thinking about it!" Real expressed: "Don't how grateful I am today, thank you all! I hope Torres will forever remember all the uncles and aunts who attended his 1st birthday party!" Wilfred quickly clarified he isn't an "uncle", but a "Rilakkuma gor gor".
