KLicker at Feeka

As mentioned previously, right after a busy week, it was always nice to unwind. This time, the KLickr group congregated at Feeka at Jalan Mesui for a spot of coffee.

It had been a while since we met up. The last meet up must've been during the wedding of one of our members. They were now expecting a baby - that told you how long it had been.

We caught up about old times as well as plan ahead for the activities for the year. But I missed he highlight since I had to leave early. One of our members got out his balloon kit for all of them to enjoy .... minus me.

Irfan is Eight

The party was finally over and done with. And it was a memorable day for Irfan especially. Many of his friends came and they had a good day playing bowling, and eating cakes of course.

This time, we had the party at Kiara Equestrian Club. Theme was Minecraft, and the venue was the bowling alley. No need to bring your own shoes, but socks were a must!

In the end, we occupied ten lanes, seven of them for children. Of course, I got to show my skills at the end …

For the event, we catered the food from the club, while we employed a party planner for the party organiser and the party packs. We asked that the clown to not wear his normal costume as Irfan had a thing against clowns since he was young. So, he came doing his usual clowning stuff, balloon tricks and organising the games. Minus the make-up.

The food was excellent. One of Irfan’s classmate’s Mum offered to do Irfan’s cake, and it was gorgeous.

The only disappointment was the party planner, who rushed for time and a rather sub-par end product. I would not rather spoil things here, but suffice to say that we wouldn’t be doing business with them again.

Time to get into the proper shoes... and get the proper ballsTime for cakesAnd group photoEven the lion came to playTime for the daddies to show off their talents ...For those considering having birthday party here, I must say that it was highly recommended. The officer in-charge was very accommodating and doing business with him was a pleasure - I was referring to you Mr Syahril! Everything was delivered and more.

The children had a great time. Irfan had a smashing day. The parents had a fine time - some of them even played along. Food was great and the whole venue was comfortable. Now, off to nurse my sore arm …

Lego Movie

As part of Irfan's birthday weekend, we took the boys for the new Lego movies. And a few of his buddies attended as well. We filled up a couple of rows and caused mayhem to those who were there. But it was great fun.

The movie itself was something unique. It featured Lego animation. And by animation, I didn't mean stock motion stuff. It was difficult to describe actually. One of my friend saw it in 3D and felt that the effect was seen a lot more.

It was a standard fare, with beautiful graphics although the storyline was rather a disappointment personally. It did its job however as all the children screamed for Lego toys at the end of the movies.

In terms of recommending the film, it wasn't exactly the worst movie I've seen in the last couple of years. Decent entertainment value, but that was just about it. Nothing special. I was also surprised by the fact that it was rated PG13. Maybe because some of the dialogues were quite crass.

Now that the movie was over, we could get on with the rest of the weekend festivities ...

Long Weekend Over

It had been a long three days, but things got quieter by yesterday afternoon, so much so that I was able to join my KLickr buddies for a spot of coffee in town.

The boys enjoyed their PD trip, especially Idlan who was still buzzing about it when he reached home last evening. Hour was talking about how serene things were at the beach, not like the hustle and bustle of town over pizza last night.

The boy was clearly growing up too fast.

They have another day of their CNY break today to enjoy before returning to school tomorrow. As for me, I was contemplating cancelling my afternoon clinic in Subang. KL was on holiday still today, so no trip to ParkCity this morning. ‎

Pool Party

Last Xmas, we attended a birthday party at Melawati. A nice idea since it was at a pool and Idlan especially didn't wait long to get into the pool and forget about food and his parents.

The venue was K Klub, a private club at Taman Melawati. The main attraction there was a nice big swimming pool. We were close to sending Idlan for lessons there but decided otherwise. There was also a Chinese restaurant there before, but closes a couple of years ago.

Irfan didn't go into the poolIdlan did. But I must have a word with him a bout that pink balloon!Back to the party, we arrived there right after the cake and the singing. The pool was definitely children friendly. The area where the party was held was separate from the main pool, for privacy.

The place was cordoned off for the partyThe birthday cake was already half eaten ....The cupcakes were baked by the birthday girl's MumUnfortunately, most of the people who attended were family members of the birthday girl. We just kept ourselves occupied until it was time to go. But the pool party idea was definitely a good one.
