Cherish 4th Bday Celebration

Hi guys...

Surprise, surpise-it's yet another very backdated birthday celebration >.< *LOL*. Went down last Valentine's Day and it was Cherish's 4th birthday celebration!

Errr... The picture of me and the bday girls' mum, showing you how narcissistic mummies can be *LOL*

It was a very relaxed, very close family and friends kind of celebration, but LL being LL, she still went all out with the decoration and all!


Yep, it's another Peppa Pig party, i guess whatever it is-it's very famous eh?

The main decoration/sweet corner

So colorful and cute!

Look at the adorable birthday cake!

Seriously, everything's so cute and well decorated i just have to snap pics of everything!

For someone who couldn't (and wouldn't bother to) set up a table for dear life, everything was so fascinating haha

There's even a ferris wheel for the cupcakes (that i had to stop Baby Boy from trying to spin multiple times zzz)

Wrapping bottled drinks with decorated paper really is a simple, great idea!

The little kids tore the little paper buses to pieces later on *LOL*

We originally tried taking pictures in front of the table, but for some reasons we looked huge so LL said the best spot is behind the table, and yes... We stood on a stool *LOL*

EDIT : Totally forgot to add this pic of the bday girl and her parents!

Of course there's also a main course to be had, we wouldn't want everybody to go on a sugar coma, right? We arrived late because LL's place's in another side of the city (and the traffic was CRAZY that day. It was even worse when we leave!), and we've never been there before (they've moved from the house that we've visited them at before) so we got very lost around their (very weirdly numbered, i must add) neighborhood for almost half an hour and we even knocked at the wrong house zzzz. Thank God nobody answered the door or it'd be very embarrassing-but there were people at the house across the street watching us and i must say i was super ashamed when we walked back to the car once we realized it was the wrong house *LOLOLOL*.

Anyway, since we're so late (well, there is no schedule other than hanging around, taking pictures and eating, so it didn't really matter), the once prettily decorated main course's no longer so cute hahahaha. But i snagged one pic from LL :

Who knows that tumpeng can be so cute?

This was how it looked when we arrived *LOL*

Nom-nom time!

Itadakimas!

Cherish's usually very shy around new people, but as she grows (and because we met countless times already i guess) she became bolder and more sociable. Here she is inching towards Koko hahaha

And offering her toy car to him. So sweet :D. Baby Boy usually dislike playing with younger kids, but i noticed that he doesn't mind younger girls, especially if they're pretty (uh oh...) *LOL*. They spent the whole afternoon playing together in the end!

LL whipped out this uber cute bear shaped cake

And of course, we just had to hahahaha

LOL

Cherish's daddy being cheeky

Look at the ta-mie shaped pudding! If i remember correctly, LL's little sister (who's still slightly older than me *LOL*) was the one who made it!

Hunny had made a bond with LL's hubby for a while now (he gets along with everybody it's insane *LOL*. LL's hubby's super quiet and shy, it took him a VERY long time to start talking to me *LOL* but no such problems now) but it was the first time we met LL's elder sister's husband (they live in US), thankfully he's very friendly so they were laughing and chatting nonstop in no time at all. Hot topic of the day? Terang bulan/sweet martabak! LOL

While the guys were busy chatting (and the women busy tending after their kids hahaha) LL and i were busy.... Selfie-ing!

From this angle, i got a better view of the cupcakes

So more pics it is

Look who's having a fun play date :D

Btw, don't call her LL is she's not all out hahaha. She also provided a tiered cake display full of... Indonesian traditional snacks and cakes!

Here's a pic of the most photogenic one hahaha. Don't ask me the name coz i'm pretty horrible at that -___-

LL and the pretty cupcake

Then with the cute cookie

One of me hahaha

When we see a cute prop...

Finally lured Cherish (who seems enamored with Baby Boy so she's do whatever he asked her to do hahaha) for this pic

Then Baby Boy spotted the cupcakes and asked for one... Made a real mess too *LOL*

Okay, this is slightly off topic, but still related. I totally forgot to feature the gift i got LL for her birthday the month before, i actually went a bit crafty and DIY-ed the box (gasp!). It was a bit half hearted becaused i just patch them up and glue them as it is *LOL*, but it still needs a recognition for someone as lazy as i am when it comes to DIY anything! Also i need the documentation to make sure i won't be giving her the exact same thing as i did before hahaha.

Since her bday theme was Moschino Barbie, i specifically looked for a Barbie wrapper. It's the closest thing i could find so... *LOL*. The big box was actually my Ipad casing's box and the little one was a wedding souvenir's box hahaha

Here's my main present for her, a pastel colored statement necklace coz she's very into statement necklace lately (i am too!). I was pretty confused on what to give her because, what do you give the girl who has everything, right? My friends told me that the face the same problem with ME *LOL*. Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, i will always appreciate whatever people give me. Truly! I've said it once and will say it again "It's not really the present that matters, but the thought that counts."

Found this vintage looking statement ring and decided to get two, one for me and one for LL

Okay, back to topic haha. Here's the actual gift for Cherish :

Still keeping in with the theme haha, hunny picked it for her

Cherish actually spotted the Barbie doll in the carrier and went for it, made me happy that she actually singled it out ^^.

Hunny helping her getting it off the box

And here she is trying to put on the tiny hairband on the tiny doll head *LOL*

Somehow the manufacturer tagged a plastic tag on her head WTH so hunny had to pulled it off and it resulted in crazy-haired Barbie haha

Then he spent the rest of the time discussing games with LL's hubby -___-

Soon afterwards we said goodbye because we wanted to catch a movie (which we ended up not watching. You can read the full story here)!

Thanks for reading!

Etienne'ss 2nd Birthday Party

birthday

Hey hey...

I promised my cousin L (who's Etienne's mummy) that i will send her pictures taken from Etienne's 2nd birthday party from last January (!!!), but i always hate sending a bunch of pictures through e-mail especially if the size's rather large (taken from a digital camera, chance of that's pretty high!) because i would have to do it multiple times and it would very often fail upon uploading, basically it's very bothersome (that's why i would really appreciate it if people would stop asking me to send them pictures if it's more than 5, especially other bloggers ^^. Be a doll and wait until i blog about it *if it's an event then usually it wouldn't be too long* then you can take whichever picture you want-as long as you link back, obviously ^^) so i told her to just get the pictures from my blog post.

But then i postponed blogging about it for more than a month, FHL. I just have so many other things to blog about that were more pressing, but here it at last!

Errr. A birthday party pic without the birthday boy (who's being a lil' fussy that day). That's like... So typical. LOL

Actually it's going to be just... a photo post mainly. Coz it's a little kid's birthday. And i hardly know anyone in the party (well except L's family and a handful of her friends that i met before) so... Really nothing to write much about. I did love the decor, though haha.

Honestly i didn't even know what Peppa Pig is, but i got two Peppa Pig themed invitation within 2 weeks so they must be famous haha

Again with the invitation. I'm definitely feeling pressured to come up with something for Baby Boy's birthday in July *or August, his bday is in the 29th so the celebration's probably going to be latter. Do you know that Chinese believe it's bad luck to celebrate your birthday before the actual day? Latter is completely fine though*-it's going to be strictly family and close friends though so maybe i shouldn't be too stressed out *LOL*. Or i'll try to find a generator online like i do all of my buttons and banners *LOLOLOL*.

Anyway, the party (which was larger than i thought it would be. Initially thought it would just be, you know, early dinner) was supposed to be at 5, and i'm not sure what time it actually started but we arrived way later because Saturday is church day (admittedly i go very rarely... But hunny goes almost every week) and it was 5.30 already when hunny picked me up. So i'm not even sure if there's anything happening before i arrived-but probably not since the candle blowing and cake cutting were not until halfway through dinner.

The decor. I'm not so sure why L decided to hold the party in Piazza Italia... Since it's kinda small (and dark) and full of tables so there isn't any space for the kid entertainer to gather the kids (who mostly were too small to understand anyway) in one place to like, have a game or whatever.

So as you can see, he was standing quite forlorn all by himself, watching us eat. LOLOLOLOL. I feel horrible for him now. He did have some one-on-one time with every kid who just arrived and did a little game/magic trick with them, but since it's one on one the kids gets bored pretty fast and left him to join their parents so he was back at being forlorn. LOL.

As much as i like seeing how balloons cheer up rooms, i also have a gripping fear of them. I hate the sound of balloon bursting!!!

Oh, i just realized that i wrote a lot more than i thought i would already WTF. Anyway, the decor was pretty nice. You know i'm not a decor person, i just cannot be bothered with them-but i can still appreciate other people's :p.

When we arrived (very late, i must add), L seemed to be pretty flustered and confused on where to seat us, which was weird because where she finally led us-there's already a name card with hunny's name on it!

Baby Boy enjoying his pasta

Well, it's actually mine. The kid's menu's a cheese pizza, but my son's quite a picky eater and he didn't like pizza (although today he suddenly turned into a fan, we ordered Pizza Hut and he ate two large slices by himself. Why are kids so fickle *LOL*), let alone kinda plain one *LOL*. The adults got a choice between a bolognaise and a 4 cheese pizza, we ordered one each and Baby Boy ended up with the best dish : the spagetti! LOL.

Finally put the entertainer to work when he asked for everyone's attention *LOL*. Now you also got to see the birthday boy hahaha

Singing happy birthday for Etienne ^^

Blow dat candles!

And cut the cake!

Happy bday Etienne! Grow up big and strong, and 10x more handsome than your dad okay (WTF i actually feel offended whenever someone says that he looks like his dad LOLOLOL)

Birthday boy wasn't very cooperative so his mommy and aunties posed instead okay hahahaha

While Baby Boy was onto his dessert already. This boy really eats a lot now -___-

I also took lots of pics of the decor and sweet corner, coz they're too cute not to!

I am honestly not the biggest fan of birthday cakes (what are they normally, chiffon cakes???) *i'm very picky with my cakes and i'm not into sweets much* but whenever i see such pretty and cute cakes, i'd be tempted to have them!

I stupidly thought these Mallow Fantasy were fake for some reason (coz the top looks like ice cream and ice cream should melt already by then) so i kinda... Poked one with my finger :p. Turned out to be some sort of jelly *oops*

Cupcakessss!!! (Yes, i love cupcakes as an exception)

Uber cute cookies

Peppa Pig cookies

And more

They're all so colorful and cute i feel the need to show you every single one of them >.<

I'm almost done, i promise

If you have a sweet tooth and i am making you craving for desserts, i apologize

I really love all the garden-y details ^^. Do you see the stack of boxes at the back? Those are the party favor with various snacks and a cute Peppa Pig tee for every kid. I'm 100% sure i snapped a close up pic of it but can't seem to find it as usual :(...

Even the mineral water's didn't escape decorations haha

Baby Boy doesn't usually like sweets all that much (except gummy bears and.. weirdly, Fox hard candies), but he asked if he can have the long lollipop sticks and i am not really the kind of mother who says no to having the occasional sweets.. He didn't manage to eat half of it though

Nice decor must be fully utilized always, right?

Narcissistic mummies :p

Finally, a close up pic of the bday boy!

So cute (not a fan of the mullet though, it's driving me insane!!)

So that this blog post is not devoid of hunny's pic hahaha

And that's the end of the party hehehe. Since it was a Saturday night and the bday's already inside a mall, we decided to let Baby Boy play a bit in Timezone.
