21st December, Natalie's One Year Old party

Finally, after all the preparation and the leg work, it's over. The party was a success, the buffet was great. Very nice presentation, superb quality, unqiue dishes. The birthday cake was delicious and yet not very sinful. It's not Chocolate, it was Mango Cream from COVA. Most of the guests enjoyed the food and the cake. Well the kids got their fair share of fun as well, they weren't neglected as Jeff had party packs for them to get self entertained while their parents enaged in adult conversations. lol. Also kids were attracted to the cupcakes that were surrounding the birthday cake.

I am glad that I had this party, I am pleased with myself, I chose the right cake, cupcakes, decoration, buffet orders. I am glad that I have invited my colleagues, they were very enthusiastic about this party and they stayed almost till the end. Very sporting! I like! Even though I only know them for about 8 months, they showed their kindness and appreciation to me and my family members. Thank you very much, little actions like this touched me a lot.

Did not have much photos taken, not much of a regret but it was a pity that I didn't have a few photos taken with my good friend, Geraldine and her boyfriend Desmond. SIgh... I guess I was too happy chatting with her that I forgot about camera whoring her! Anyways she will understand, right? lol I will blog about Nat's birthday and then another time, I will blog about our Batam trip hor!

It's been a year!

My oh my oh my... how time flies. Last year around this time I was preparing nervously and eagerly for labour and now, 

My precious Natalie is turning 1 year old this Sunday. It seems like a dream, it was a difficult process, going through with the labour, the confinement period, adapting to the changes in life, coping with the additional member. Now when I looked at her, I felt that it was all worth it. But then I am still not prepared to go through it again. 

I am throwing a party for her, invited friends and colleagues over this Sunday. Hopefully they will be free to attend as I treat it as a form of gathering as well. Haven't been meeting up with my friends and colleagues for a while and I would like to take this opportunity to get everyone together, networking is very important! So far the response from the invitation is not very positive, maybe it's due to the holiday season? 

I have been doing all the foot work, running up and down for the preparation for this coming Sunday. Got a cake from COVA, ordered another 25 cupcakes from cupcakesmoma, ordered buffet for 50 pax. Jeffrey is going to decorate the house with balloons and also going to give out party packs to the kids that turn up that day. All these just hoping that everyone will enjoy themselves, creating a memorable day for everyone. 

IT's getting crazy here, Natalie is turning 1, preparing for the celebration, Christmas is round the corner as well, the arrival of a new born baby from my sister in law... approaching new year, soon afterwards will be Chinese new year... oh my, super jam pack!

Guess the happiest person in the family now is her, carefree as ever, gets what she wants most of the time. Good life! I wanna be a baby again!
