Love to inject colours into my everyday outfits or rather what the people in instagram would say #OOTD or outfit of the day. Since it’s Spring and Summer and bold colours are making a comeback, this was what I have come up with by far.
Did I say I just absolutely L.O.V.E The Avengers? So much so that we’re thinking of watching it another time, this time in 3D. My personal favourite would have to be well I have 2 actually Captain America and Thor. I would be lying if I say I don’t like them for their hot bods hahaha. So anyway looking forward to the next sequel. Hoping that this time Natalie Portman would make her appearance and inject a bit of romance into the movie.
Whoever’s not heard of Russell Peters must really get their heads checked. He is in my personal opinion the best ever stand-up comedian I know. He makes jokes spontaneously and he can make one up out of a random situation and it’ll still be funny. Even when he puts on a straight face, it’ll put his audience in stitches. No doubt that his jokes involved making fun of the races and ethnicity of others but at the end of the day everyone goes home with no grudges beared.
Me and the husband were lucky this time that we manage to catch his sold out show at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Together with good buds Norfa and Bai we laughed till our tummies ache and our jaws stiff.
A job well done Russell! Please do make your way here again or else “somebody’s gonna get hurt”
Ok I’m finally blogging about the girls birthday bash. So many have been asking. It has been 3 months past due. Hahaha. Not that I don’t want to write about it but writing about this needs inspiration you see. And today’s the day that I have enough to inspire me to write.
I’m a sucker when it comes to planning. I plan way way ahead of the upcoming event. Well I have to be. You might not know what’s gonna happen if everything’s last minute, right? I’m lucky enough to have my sis and my best friend helping me along the way with the planning. We wanted something posh yet child friendly this time round. We did not want a HUGE one like the Alice in Wonderland birthday bash last year but just an intimate, personalised party where everyone knows everyone else and is not shy to mingle. It was also a kind of a Thank You event for all our friends who have helped us along the way during past events.
Doing it at a hotel was the last thing that I wanted what with the costs and all but my very generous best friend Zahrin who was also my kids ‘god-pa’ assured me that everything was in good hands and that I should not be worried. Everything was taken care of. His exact words were ” Just go there and have fun! You guys deserved it” I or rather we were truly blessed to have him.
We decided on The Fullerton Bay as it was a gorgeous hotel (spent an amazing annivasary here), the view was spectacular, staff were friendly and they were able to cater to whatever we needed where food was concerned example regarding the need to be halal friendly. The party itself was held at The Lantern, a rooftop verandah. An open space with a magnificient view by night.
One thing that I really like about booking this space is that we have the priveledge to do whatever we wanted. In terms of decoration that is. And I must say my sister who is the logistics person-in-charge did a great job with the place. Simple but yet it has that arabian feel to it.
Now what is the utmost important thing of a party? For me personally it has got to be the food. If the food is nice then your guests would definately enjoy the party more, right?
Guests were told of the theme way ahead thus the need to dress up as an arabian prince,princess,genie,oil sheikh you get the picture. And all our guests were so supportive of the theme! I am in awe that they came in their arabian splendour.
There was a genie too that night to the delight of the kids. He was as you guessed the game master of the night. He pranced, danced and made the kids warm up to him. All the games were hilarious!
But way before the games officially start, a prayer from Daddy the host of the party.
Game time!!
I was most impressed with how we gave the birthday cake or rather the birthday cupcakes a personalised touch. It was all last minute and I was glad that it came out superbly. Thank you to Ayu from SimplyCupcakes for the delicious cupcakes and to my favourite Aunty Lin the gold dust inspired brownies.
What is a birthday without a LUCKY DRAW,right? The funnest part of the night for everybody anticipating for a prize hehe.
The best dressed kids for the night. Ili’s best friend Sara and my nephew Ilhan.
Overall the birthday was a huge success. Up till today I could not forget the fun that all of us had. I am so thankful and greatful to have such a loving family who have stood by me all this time, helping out despite their busy schedules. I could never have done and planned everything without them. I Love you guys so very much!
