My Baby is now a Lady!

15 Jan

Last January 12, 2013 my daughter celebrated her 10th Birthday. It was unplanned party since she decided weeks ago not to have a party anymore. She just want a shop-till-you-drop shopping for herself (whew), which I discouraged her much, I’m not rich I’m just beautiful lol. Then she opted to have simple dinner with family, ice skate with her cousins then buy one gift she like most.

It was 2 days before her birthday when  this pickle minded girl ask me to throw her a party, it was really a last minute preparation. We don’t have any invitation yet, no venue, no food, no anything (panic). How can I start organizing a good party in just 2 days.

I started by making an online invitation through facebook. Since I cannot get last minutes booking in any fast food or  party hall venue. I decided to do it in the Park which later on moved in my sisters place. I contacted some restaurant to order foods, drop by at our favorite bakeshop to order cake,  walk at the nearby gift shop to shop some party favors.

On the day of the event I beg for some help from my beloved relatives. I ask my mother to take care of the decoration and styling my pretty daughter, my sister and my aunt for cooking additional food, My niece Cathy for assisting them and our friend Jane for taking pictures.

After all the hard work and dedication in what we did, I may say we have Job well done. The party was awesome, the kids and kids at heart enjoyed it and my daughter was very very happy.

Special Thanks to all my relatives and friends for helping me out in organizing my daughters party. To those who come to join us in this memorable event for Kat a BIG thanks to all of you.

Here’s the sneak peek during the party:

It’s like yesterday when I tweeted about my favorite month and how excited I am about it, now 2 more days and we will bid  goodbye to the month of August. Time flies really really fast.

August is indeed  special for me, since majority of the family member (including myself) born on this month. It is also start of Ramadan, wherein our Muslim brothers and sisters do the fasting for almost a month and offer more prayers. It also means less working hours for us. yehey!

I also called August a Pig-out Month, Lots of celebrations, gatherings, activities occured during the month. Lots of weight gain also… nyay!

August 11 – House Warming for our New House

August 18 – My sister and nephew’s birthday celebration

August 21 – Special Dinner from our Housemate Ching (she accepted a job offer from one company)

August 23 – My mom and hubby’s birthday celebration

August 25 – Company Iftar Dinner at Sheraton Hotel

August 30 -It’s My birthday and Start of Eid Al Fitr… Thanks for the Long Holiday (5 Days of Fun and Rest), supposedly we have work on Thursday since Public Holiday for Private sector were 2 days only (Tuesday and Wednesday). Thanks to my kind boss for an extra day. I considered this as a birthday gift!
