Irfan's Birthday Party

Suraiya enjoying her foodIt was a bit of a drama last night with taking Irfan to the Casualty and all. He was much better when he woke up this morning but with a slight temperature. But energy level was good. He was eager to attend his party. However the first order of business was a quick follow-up at the Gleneagles to see how he is.

Nice cutleryThe party was planned to start at 11, but we only managed to get to the Casualty at 9.45. Luckily we were able to finish everything by 10.30 and arrived at Bangsar Village 5 minutes before the party. Thanks God, the staffs at Fit For 2, where we had the party was efficient and everything was ready to go.

The cake was waitingWe did not invite many guests. Just the grandparents, aunties, uncles and first cousins. All 25 of us all together, enough to bring the place down. We arranged for the food and cakes to be at Fit For 2, followed by a trip across to the indoor playground and Kiz Sports. Unfortunately, a couple of the cousins were not well and can't join in at the playground. The ones that did however were ecstatic.

Running around with his light saberHowever, Irfan's mood was not very good through out. He still got the temperature and he was not keen to cut the cake. We therefore took the cake back home later and had that at home. The food for the kids at the arty was excellent and I ended nibbling most of them. The mini-pizza and macaroni was excellent. The hit however was root gala. I had chili corn carne, but since I had to buzz around, I ended up having them cold. Was not nice. The rest of the food was OK.

After hanging around at the gym, we finally left by 1.30. Irfan and Idlan enjoyed the light saber they had courtesy of Mami Julia. They were running around with it outside the gym, hitting each other! The slideshow of the event was uploaded here.

A Simple Birthday Lunch

The plan was to have a party this weekend. It will still go on on Saturday but since I was at home, everyone insisted that I came along for lunch. We took Irfan to Delicious at Dua Residency along Jalan Tun Razak. Anita's parents were also there. We brought out Irfan's present and we did have a great time.

We also brought along a cake to school for Irfan to celebrate. According to Idlan, everyone sang and Irfan blew off the candles. Cake was gone in record time. As for this Saturday, everything was booked at Fit For 2. We were not planning for a big one. It will be Idlan's turn for a big party this year. That has already been booked even though his birthday is not until May. It's good to plan .....

Delicious was empty when we got there but it soon filled up. Anita wanted to try Full House at Jalan Yak Kwan Seng but they were doing some construction work there today. Never been there but from what I heard it is a good joint. Maybe next time. As you can see, he got the Lego set he always wanted although it certainly not for his age. I spent the whole afternoon fixing it up for him ... and it was now in pieces again .... I've given up since ... 

Party wrapping up!

Weekend Activities

It has been a busy weekend in the household with the birthday party and last ditch open houses. The last weekend being the final weekend of Ramadhan and all. My sister hosted her daughter's and husband's birthday party on Saturday. My Auntie also traveled all the way from Sg Petani to visit us. The party went on all afternoon. In the evening, there was the Premier League fix after the two weeks international break. The result went United's way apart from Arsenal hitting form. The fiasco with the beach balloon in Sunderland really made my weekend.

On Sunday, we went to over to Cheras to attend Anita's cousin's open house. Likely going to be the last for the Syawal. Spend some time there but had to return early since I was taking my family for dinner that evening. We went to Cozy Corner in Ampang Park, a favourite spot for Anita's family but we were really disappointed last night. The food was off the mark this time around. The steak was dry, the noodles was not nice, even the fish and chips were soggy. Have they changed the chef? It was a disappointing end for a lovely weekend.

Monday arrived today and I spent the evening after work sifting through the photos taken during the weekend. Finally managed to do some post-processing on them and got evething on order. Unfortunately, I am at my Taman Cemerlang residence minus the broadband. Uploading the pix onto my site was a pain. May have to swing over to the Taman Setia home to upload it later in the week. I also need to use the printer to print some articles at some stage in the week. My friend's from college were also asking if I will be playing badminton tonight. Unfortunately it is difficult to leave Anita and the boys alone at Cemerlang and the game only starts at 9. After finishing at 11.30, I am sure that the Terendak boys wanted to hang around for a session of teh tarik. Might be playing next week we are back in Setia.
