i love you to the moon and the back

Despite being heavily pregnant (at 37 weeks!), me and my husband decided to held a birthday party for our daughter. She's 2 years old on 18th of January.
We know that it's going to be hard to do all the preps and such, since i'm already like this (a two-legged whale pfttt), but proudly we pulled it off!!
Of course with some help from our family and loved one.

It was my idea on the first place tho'. I was thinking that, since najah and her on-the-way lil' brother birthdays are going to be just a month apart, we might share the celebration on the same day in the future. haha.
So, this one is specially created for her alone :p

For the theme, we decided to go RAINBOW because i was so attracted to this cake from That Last Slice.


Quickly, I got in touch with the same baker, ms laili who did our 2nd anniversary cupcakes back in 2010.
I also found out that she's also capable of making a theme-able dessert bar. After a few phone calls and emails, she wowed us with this.



Well, if you guys interested, you can contact her here or here. She's a very nice lady and her price is also reasonable and negotiable.

Next up, the goodie bags.
I have been searching highs and lows for places selling party packs at a very reasonable price. It is not a problem if you are living in KL, but in JB it is kind of hard to locate this kind of places. After a few days of googling and asking here and there, we found this. We bought masks, clappers, party poppers and candies. Ms Laili was also kind enough to let us use her rainbow party kit. We printed out the Treat Bag Flag and voila, we have this!


For the guest list, we only invited a very few close friends and relatives to join in the celebrations.
Foods were all prepared by my wonderful-cum-superwoman mom. I am still in awe because she cooks Mee Keju, Roti Jala, Fried Bee Hoon and even Pudding Custard for 50 pax all by herself!  It is so true when people say you can always count on your mom.

To add some fun activities to the event, we spread out the swimming pool for the little ones to enjoy themselves. They sure have a great one hour with all the water splashes, chuckling and giggling before it rains heavily. haha.

Well, there goes some of the tit bits on the preparation and all, and I think I've write too much already.
Let's just feast on the photos taken from my fb.

a kick off new year post

ahh..how i've miss to write here
kind of blame it on the pregnancy ever since i've got this very bad, bad illness called 'malas'
malas to cook, malas to kemas rumah, malas to go to work
well i can say i'm pretty much malas in everything throughout this whole 9-months thingy
sigh~

hopefully this post will give me that sense of responsibility to not or never neglect this blog once again
(but then again, think confinement period, 3 months maternity leave, babies, bla bla bla)
errr...

a kick off new post la sangat~
