Zhi Yun's Birthday Party (24 Aug 2014)

Deborah's classmate cum partner, Zhi Yun, invited us for her 7th birthday party at The Minton Condominium on 24 Aug 2014.

 

There was a magic show lined up and from the smiles on Deborah's face below, yes, you guessed it... she enjoyed her so, so much. I think she laughed the loudest throughout the show. As usual, she is always so bright and cheery when there is loads of fun. What's more, this was her closest classmate's party... she was really so happy to be there.

 

 

Deborah standing with the birthday girl through out the cake-cutting...erm... cos she wanted to blow out the candles and perhaps, steal some of the limelight...I guess. Haha..

 

And look who is happy too...

 



 

...but he cried when a boy pushed him and his cake fell onto the floor later on.

 

 

And here's Deborah with her best pal & birthday girl, Zhi Yun.

Sweetie is 7

 

Deborah is 7 years old on 18 Aug 2014.

 

She celebrated her birthday with her friends in Hosanna Kids.

Her lovely Sunday School teacher, sister Pearline prepared a birthday celebration. The girls beside Deborah are new friends from Empart (Elder Stephane's daughters).

 

 

We had a simple birthday celebration at home on Sunday, 17 Aug 2014 with our extended families. We ordered dishes from the Zi Char stall along Joo Chiat Road - fried rice, mee goring, coffee pork ribs, mummy's chicken, yam ring, stir-fry kai lan which costs us $132 in total. Much more economical compared to catering a mini buffet which would have cost us at least another $150 more.

 

The highlight was the beautiful Rainbow cake which I ordered online from Room For Dessert (website: www.roomfordessert.com.sg) for $120.00, plus a $15 delivery charge. The cheese coating on the outside makes the cake taste very sweet. But I have to say, the bright rainbow colours made up for it. We could also taste some difference in taste for different coloured layers. There was a very light lemon taste too.

 

 

The final celebration was held in school with her classmates, together with Ezanne and Bernice on 20 Aug 2014. The children had bee hoon, fishballs, fried wan tons and Ribena before the cake cutting.

 

The rainbow doll cake was the best deal I got for all the birthday celebrations. It was an offer from Groupon by iCake Creative. The cake weighs 2 kg and costs me just $83.90, including delivery.

Best of all, it was a rainbow cake. Just look at the many layers of colours it has.

And it was the most delicious cake! The sweetness was just right.



 

 

 

 

Deborah was really happy celebrating her birthday with her classmates.

 

 

 

Mummy is 35

Today, we were supposed to celebrate Mommy's birthday -- staycation at Hotel Michael, Resorts World Sentosa. But as the two kiddos are still recovering from the stomach flu, and at 5.00 am today, David had complained of a bad tummy ache, we decided it was better to postpone it....... Yes, after much, much consideration. 

The day started a little slow and gloomy for us... But thank God, Plan B turned out well too.

Mommy found a movie currently showing at GV cinemas titled "Disney's Planes". The review given was "inspiring for children" so just one hour before the show commenced, we decided to get our buttocks up and catch the movie at Tampines Mall.

"Disney's Planes" is an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure featuring Dusty, a plane with dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. But Dusty's not exactly built for racing, and he happens to be afraid of heights. So he turns to a seasoned naval aviator, who helps Dusty qualify to take on the defending champ of the race circuit. Dusty's courage is put to the ultimate test as he aims   to reach heights he never dreamed possible, giving a spellbound world the inspiration to soar.

Perhaps, the kiddos are too young to grasp the entire plot. But we talked to them and did a movie review after the show and this was what they understood:

1. Dusty dare to dream big.

2. Dusty did his best to win.

3. Dusty had good friends who shared and cared and that helped him win. 

It is indeed an inspiring movie and worth watching with the kids this holiday.

Even daddy, who posted "yawn" on Facebook before the movie started (because he thought it would be a boring cartoon movie) changed his comment and showed mommy a thumbs-up when the show ended. Haha! 

And so, my wish for this hatch-day is a rather simple - for Deborah and David to recover completely fast. Thank You, Jesus. 

Before the day ended, Daddy brought mommy for a late night dinner. We dined at Brewbaker's Kitchen and Bar at Seng Kang Sports Hall, and were the last customer for the day. So we received tip top service and food was served really fast, plus a complimentary slice of yummy chocolate cake for the birthday girl.
