Hello!! Sorry, I haven’t been writing for awhile. I’ve been busy preparing for Caitlyn’s birthday party, confirming everything and mostly making treat boxes! Sigh! I didn’t think it’ll be so much work!! But it’s all worth it. You’ll see. The boxes looks great! *a bit perasan also la* But I’m really happy how it’s turning out. I hope our guest will appreciate and keep the boxes, for awhile atleast. *ahem! hint! hint!* Testing my PS (Photoshop) skills and not to mention my creative skills. Since I’m no pro at PS, it actually took me quite a while to get it right.
So far I’ve confirmed the venue,finalized the menu, sent out invitations, checked out the balloons and deco for the place. And I thought we’ll have a simple one with family since this year I don’t have a maid and Greg has been busy as well. He is actually having his base check this month so he won’t really have time to help me. He is even flying on that day itself so… that’s why we wanted to have it somewhere that we don’t have to put up tents and clean up after that! Plus, we have a wedding dinner to attend that night too. So we want something simple, besides, I don’t think the birthday girl will last too long anyway. But to not give a party for her first birthday will be equivalent to criminal offence. We (Greg and I) will be answering questions for the rest of our lives and probably till we are lying in our coffins.
My Dad was just telling me how important it is to celebrate first birthdays as in the olden days in China (it always is…just like once upon a time thingy) most babies don’t make it through their first year, so to be able to celebrate first birthday is a BIG occassion… I think it’s just an excuse to EAT!!! Very Chinese thing to do you know…
Speaking of balloons, does anyone know where I can get a good deal? So far I’ve checked out the one in Bangsar, Party Balloons, they are the only one that will come and do the set up if we order more then 70 pcs. And that’s gonna cost RM218! The rest will not do set up…so if I get from them, I’ll have to out them up myself. Well…I guess I’ll just have to get the Godpa to help me. *hehehe!* I’m still contemplating on getting a pinata, it’s expensive and we really don’t have that many children, only all aunties,uncles and grandparents.
The cake, we’ll be getting from Piece of cake. I heard only praises from people who have ordered from her (Lilian) I’ve seen picture on the internet, and they look really cute! Check it out for yourself.
So that’s that… I have to get back to my boxes…(sorry)

Ah Moi, if the balloon cost so much trouble and $$, I think just forget it. Afterall, like you said, not many children and it’s just for a short few hours. It’s the memories, good food, good company and laughter that’s gonna last. To the aunties and uncles, with or without the balloons doesn’t really matter. Make it simple and safe yourself from the stress. See you.
