Ichiro’s birthday cake

I can’t thank enough to those who managed to make it to Ichiro’s first birthday party! I had such a great time on that day as I’ve finally got the chance to meet up with friends!

Thank you to my uni friends Mimi, Julia and McD
Thank you to Bukit Bintang Boys and gang Firdaus & GF, Zahir & Hylda and Aidan & family
Thank you to all bloggers Fizamior, Munirah, Jua, Nanoor, Sanaa, Intan, Afidah, Ary, Farah and Anita

Thanks for coming!

Ichiro was busy testing out all the new toys

There were surely butterflies in my stomach prior waiting for the guests since it was our very first party which we hosted and organized our self (partially) of course with the help of entire family especially my mom, mama, hani and both of my sister. Not to forget every guys in the family contributed as well.

I still remember few years back, we were having a conversation about organizing a birthday party for our future kids and at the end we concluded that most probably we won’t be able to throw any party since many of our friends at that time was still single and unmarried. But then there’s a thing call BLOG and little did I know at that time that I can actually make lots of friend via blog and one good thing about bloggers is they are very supportive. Go bloggers!

“Rumah dah siap, pahat berbunyi” ~ malay proverb. Well there were few things about the party that I wasn’t really satisfied with and wish that I could fix it during the event;

The bubble didn’t want to cooperate with us! It was my fault actually. I thought that normal soap can also be use to produce bubbles but oh boy, I was completely wrong! I should have buy some or google on how I can make bubbles on my own.

I forgot to buy the rhyme songs CD, if not certainly it will be more happening singing the birthday song along with music, hmm but that’s ok my mother in law sang really out loud, she could easily replace the missing music.

I should prepare 3 pools instead of 2 for the children. I did plan to buy a new pool which is bigger but then don’t know why I didn’t go ahead with the plan.

Mama suggested SOTO (a type of malay cuisine) for the main dish as children can also eat it since it’s not spicy (nk pedas kene tambah cili hitam/kicap) and also because Ichiro loves the soup so much. There’s also potatoes “bergedil” mix with minced meat which is also suitable for kids & adults, fried chicken and the famous sate Hj. Samuri. We bought it from Hj. Samuri Damansara uptown restaurant. Of course besides that we do have lots of cakes, cookies, kueh and etc. We were very happy since all the food finish entirely the next day. No left overs! Ada la sikit-sikit cakes, cookies and muffins yg tinggal. But then kiterorg dekat rumah ni makan 1-2 hari terus dah licin. Mmg dasar kuat makan. Hihi.

And to my elder sister (along) , thank you to you too! I didn’t know that you are the one who actually made all those lovely and delicious chocolate! Mula-mula ingat ko gi kedai kek or choc dan beli (sbb kau selalu buat cam tu jer kan) pastu tiba-tiba angah cakap ko ada demam sket gi buat homemade choc. Hahaha. Alonggggggg biar benarrr ko buat??? Ko kan pemalas so agak terkejut dgn hasil yg sebegitu marvelous. Hihi. Jangan marah , raya nnt salam ahhh. Tapi neway, lawa and sedap. Ayu lepas tahu choc tu ko buat cepat2 gi cari kalau2 ada yg lebih-lebih. Nasib baik jumpa satu! Apa-apa pon Manchester United memang terbaek. Ada gak fans Chelsea gi makan choc tu, harap-harap tk kene keracunan usus. Huhu. My Kak Long is about to open order for the homemade choc for Hari Raya, will announce soon. Those who are interested can place the order via me, I want to earn some sales commission

Carrot cake my fave!

Chocolate cake pon ada..

Then to my mom jugaaa. Walaupun buat kek dan kueh2 di pagi-pagi buta on the same day, sempat juga buat semua. Omak, ayu suka cookies ala famos amos versi mak! carrot cake pon sodap! Kek carrot menjuarai kek yg pertama habis licin mengalahkan kek birthday Ichiro. Hihih.

Click on the slide to view the photos on Flickr site. There was caption available for every photo, not sure how to make it appear here. But it does appear on Flickr site. Appreciate tips on how to make the caption appear on my blog.

Urmm..was wondering is this Ichiro’s party or mine? Hahaha. So enjoy some of the pictures. Regret to say that I don’t have, not even one picture of the bloggers, so saper2 yg ada gambar, hope you guys can share some of the pics so that I could upload it on my flickr and link it here. I was too busy to snap pictures and I didn’t hire any photographer for few reasons , firstly I thought that my party is just a small party so it isn’t necessary to hire one and secondly we were really under tight budget. Hehe. So, photographer is consider luxury.

Lastly, ladies…do you wanna claim your belongings?
