Moez's Fourth

We had a nice afternoon celebrating Moez’s fourth birthday last weekend at the newly opened Atria Shopping Mall. Dina and Azmil had the party at Jungle Gym. Crowded but both Idlan and Irfan ended up in the many climbs all afternoon, leaving us to chat and catch up.

Time for the cakesIt was Ironman! And of course, we didn't come in such ...The prezzies of course ...Let's the professional handle it ...The usual works were there. Cakes, magic show and the clown. Not to mention the nice food. Jungle Gym definitely had the right idea when it came to children parties as the area for party were spacious, with many things to keep the children occupied.

Security was also top notch and everybody were tagged. Maintenance was also pretty decent.

The clown was here!!!!

Anita with Dina, Moez's MumThe clown that they had was also pretty good and entertaining. He really put up a show for everyone. We ended up chatting until late afternoon. Luckily there were not many calls for me that lunchtime. Atria also offered ample parking although getting there was rather tricky as this was the first time we been there since the place was rebuilt from the ground up. It used to be more of a community mall back then, now turned into an upmarket joint. Definitely worth another visit.

Plenty of things to do here for the childrenTV stationCotton candy anybody?My boys were missing in there somewhere ...I hope that the birthday boy enjoyed the party. He was certainly buzzing all over the place. I was sure that he would be happy with his presents as well .... Happy Birthday Moez! And how could forget his first birthday from 3 years back ...

Jump Street Party

We had a nice Sunday afternoon yesterday attending a party at Jump Street. It was for one of Irfan’s classmate and the boys had a solid couple of hours of jumping and bouncing throughout the place.

With the heavy rain outside, it was certainly a great plan.

The party was taken care of by the venue with a couple of instructors taking the children through their paces as part of the package. They get to experience all the games - plus dodgeball of course - in turns.

Idlan taking a refuel break ....The venue also provided a separate area for parties - where the obligatory sing-song and cake cutting took place. Party food was also provided by the venue and it turned out to be smooth. While the children were bouncing, we got to sit down at their cafe overlooking the whole place. No headache. The children had fun, and certainly not a bad place for parties.

What? A Liverpool Party?

Last Friday, I went straight to Gombak after work as Idlan attended his friend's birthday party at one of the indoor sports hall there. It was a football themed party and the whole gang actually played indoor football before sweatily cut the birthday cake!

It was held at KLFA football training facilities at Melawati, abut the theme was Liverpool!

Even the flames from the candles was redI nearly came up with rashes towards the end! Idlan donned a red shirt but luckily without a Liverpool crest. Otherwise he would have to take his own ride home! The party was fun and Idlan get to play football although it was the first time he did so in an indoor futsal hall and he did not have a proper footware. We would need to get him one.

He enjoyed the party and couldn't help harping on about his footballing conquest afterwards.

Happy Birthday Alya

Julia's youngest daughter turned 9 yesterday, and they had a party near their place in Kajang. I was lucky that I was able to make it since I was on call the evening before. Otherwise, Anita and the boys would have to get there themselves.

Alya was clearly happy as plenty of her friends turned up. Her presents were picked by the boys and hopefully they realised what she liked.

Part of the games. And my belt was off as well! Luckily my pants didn't fell off!

Initially Irfan joined the games, but after being kicked out after the second round, he went quiet and clang on to Anita for the rest of the party. Idlan however was having fun! Anita was picked to play one of the games for parents and luckily, although she lost, she didn't have to do anything silly!

The restaurant provided the games and the mascot came along of course for good measure. My Dad got picked on for his white hair. The staff kept calling him Colonel Sanders!

I was the photographer as usual, and luckily I could still focus after the long hours last night. I was snoring away be the time i reached the car for the ride home ....

Bubbly Birthday

On Saturday, we attended another birthday party. This time in Bangi, at my ex-roommate's Syahril's place. It was their third son, Arman's seventh birthday. The term was Flash, but unfortunately we failed in the costume department.

Bouncy castle in the house!A quick break in between runningSkills!Anita and the boys went there after having lunch with her friends, so I drove alone. When I reached there, Idlan and Irfan were already engrossed! They just couldn't get enough of them giant bubbles!

It looked like they enjoyed too much, even missing their cakes. I had time to catch up with friends, and the topic then was my trip - or rather non-trip - to climb Kinabalu. Anita vetoed it with no mercy!

Vitamins?Quick stop for ice creamThe cake is readyPiñata bashed without mercy!More snacks of course!The kids just couldn't get enough of their finger food. There was even an ice cream machine - dutifully operated by Syahril of course! The bubbles were definitely the big hit with everybody. By the time they were done, my boys' hair were covered with layers of soap. Shower time then ....
