Birthday party (Part 3- The birthday girl)

Si model Brylcream=)

Finally......it's time to share about my little one here.hehe.

On her birthday, sofea tidur nyenyak sgt from 2.00p.m - 3.00p.m. The early guests are coming around 2.30p.m like that. So kenala tunggu si comel mommy ni bangun.Sambil2 tu depa makan2 la dulu kan. Dgn baju gown tula sofea tidur.hehe.

Then, bila dah bangun, mommy bawa sofea out of the room n meet the guests. Sume xsabar nak jumpa anak mommy.AND, to my surprised, this is her reaction...sembamkan muka on my lap n tak berganjak even sikit pun.=p..sampaila daddy amik n dukung barula sofea tgk everybody around.haha.

This photo was taken in the morning. time ni xde guests lagi except wan n atuk sg.besar yg sampai malam sebelumnya.Sofea nye mulut comot makan biscuit.

Ops..she's getting mad sbb we kept putting the hat on her head.haha. Then, mommy pujuk sofea n main bubbles ngan dia.

At first she kindda scared ngn bubbles tu.Tapi kejap je. Tak lama tu sebok dia nak tangkap bubbles tu plak.=p

Muka happy main bubble=)

Sambil2 tu, sofea buat gaya gymnastic dia.ada talent nih.hihi.Gambar nih still in the morning.

This one is so funny. See?Sofea letak kepala ala2manja kat Tok Anjang dia as if it's her daddy.Bila tgk daddy amik gambar dia, she looked up and... oh!Wrong person daa..ape lagi,melalak la sekejap.syian dia.

Then, daddy pun dukung n pujuk2..kasi balloon kat sofea. Kejap je nangis, tu pun slow je suara dia.(memang sofea jarang nangis kuat2).Pastu, barula nak tersengih-sengih si manja tu.Pas je kat daddy gerenti senyap punye.hihi

Sofea ni awal2 je cranky sket kalo ramai orang around her. Dia tak bese ngan large crowd. Tapi bila dah lama2 sket, n ada kids yg main2 ngan dia she'll be fine.Like the photo above, sofea's playing the balloons dgn aunty2 nye.

Muka happy n tak kesah ngan orang daa..haha.

..still playing with the balloons..

..laughing bila orang agah2 dia.hehe.(still in her play gym)

Haa.. bila orang sumer dah balik, malam2 ni la keje sofea. Inspecting all her presents before main buka2 hadiah ngan mommy.hehe.Thank you sumer!Sofea suka sumer hadiah you all.Memang gempak.hihi.

Mana gambar sofea makan kek?hmm..sadly pada hari kejadian, she refused to eat the cake sbb too many people around. So, the other day, bila mommy bagi je...fuh!laju je makan siap tarik2 tangan mommy nak lagi.Mulut pun as usual la kalo makan cake, mestila comot.Tapi COMEL.hihi.

Till we meet again, to be continued............=p

Birthday party (Part2- Food)

ok..now we take a look at the foods served at sofea's birthday party. Most of the foods are homemade.hehe.Memang banyak foods that day!

1. Rendang daging, kuah kacang n nasi impit. Made by MY MOM.

2. Laksa Johor special or lebih tepat lagi, spaghetti Johor. Made by, MY MIL n Mak Cik Yati.

3. Ayam masak serai, sup ayam kurma, sayur campur. Made by ME. ayam ngn sup kat hujung sana.huhu.


Makanan lain yg tak dihidangkan di atas meja:
4. Cupcakes.
5. Buah duku n buah tembikai.
6. Puding buah.Made by Mak Anjang.
7. Cendol.Made by kedai..=p
8. Karipap pusing.Made by mak cik kantin tmpt i keje.
9. Fingerfoods (mamee n cocon)
10. Air sunquick mangga.

wow!can u imagine all the foods. banyak kan?tapi, family yg dtg pun agak ramai.n mostly stay agak lama sampai malam. so memang tiga empat kali gak dok bantai makan kan?Memang tak plan pun...tengok2 sume datang bawa food masing-masing.alhamdulillah la kan..hihi.

Kesimpulannya, semuanya laku cume lauk-lauk ade la balance sket. so pakat2 bagi depa sorang sikitla time nak balik tu.

hmm..ok to be continued ehhhh...........

Birthday party (Part 1- Decoration)

Hmm..i buat simple deco je.hantam sajalah asal cantik di mato den.haha.
ok i opted for mickey mouse theme.Bukanla yg girly2 n pinky2 coz sofea pun bukan boleh enjoy sgt pun since she's just 1 year-old.So i nak the deco looks cute n babyish la kan.The color mestila bold n attractive.haha.

First of all, this is the cupcakes of the day! 'Sofea turns one!'...so yummylicious n cute!

Mickey balloon as centerpiece.

Feature wall.. (A banner n a few balloons)

Note: Sofea's high chair pun i jadikan prop jugak.haha.

To make it lively, i added some strings..but yg sedihnye xjumpe color lain except BLUE.huhu.So blue it is..

Note: i place the string tinggi2 sket kasi out of reach of small kids.Kalo sofea berdiri pun memang tak sampai.hehe.

1st birthday everyone!

Mickey blow-out (party favors utk budak2 kecik tuh.)

A cute hat with mouse ear design.

Note: It's a battle nak kasi sofea pakai even sekejap. So kena prepare ambil gambar awal2 before the guests are coming..=p

Sofea's photos..

And of course, the BALLOONS! Sofea loves em..

Note: i also prepare balloons with sticks but always keep an eye on her.takut jadi apa2 plak kan.



To be continued.............

Two to three days before party

Here what we've done so far:

1. Gather up tables, chairs, toys, serving dishes, and other supplies.
2. Follow up with the invited guests.
3. Charging the camera battery.
4. Housecleaning.
5. Do grocery shopping.
6. Set-up the party area.
7. Decide on a party outfit.

Hmmphh..dalam bz2 dok fikir about the preparations, i still have to run a few important errands this weekend. Kena pergi wat medical check-up specifically breast lump for insurance purpose. Time i belajar dulu ada tapi small n benign. Ni nak wat check-up lagi sekali.

Then, nak kena beli Tupperware pasal member dah order barang. Pastu nak visit relative yang bakal pergi haji...bla bla bla. Dengan nak prepare bahan untuk masak lagi..haha. pengsann!

Tu la gatai nak masak sendiri. Parents i dtg tapi i prefer everything dah ready n depa tinggal makan jela.haha. kalo tak, my mom tu kang duk buat ikut resepi dia sendiri.Bukan tak sedap, it's just i prefer buat tu tanpa ada campur tgn org lain. Kata party sofea..so bia la mommy yg masak.kan?kan?

Kalo sedara-mara ada nak sumbang makanan masing2..dipersilakan..cuma dun bother about mine.I believe i know what i'm cooking. Kalo tak, takkanla i sanggup nak masak untuk bagi 20-30 people makan. Kalo i la kan, makan jela ape yg tuan rumah masak. No matter what she cooks. haiihh! Sometimes orang2tua ni memang susah nak bagi kepercayaan n kebebasan. No wonder la masyarakat semakin kurang kreatif =p.

Tapi, memang ada type orang yang suka masak ramai-ramai biar penuh satu dapur. Baru happening la katanya. Well, maybe i'm just not that kindda type. I memang jenis yg suka bebas kalo memasak. I need my own space. Seeking help is the last thing i gonna do (kalau masak kat rumah sendirila). I can get very excited when it comes to cooking. But even the slightest distraction can turn the mood off. Kalau takat gotong-royong potong itu ini kat rumah orang lain tak kesahla nak ramai2. Tapi kalau kat rumah i n majlis yg i organize sendiri MEMANG TAK LAH!Unless i yg request.Itu lain cerita okeh.
Haha. Puas membebel dlm blog.

Hmm okla later2 i update lagi.

Daa.

Pre-birthday party

Sofea's birthday celebration is on 17th Oct. So now i got one week left to do all the preparations.

This is the plan so far:

1. At home party. Yes we plan to host the party our self. I feel more in control n it's just a place sofea's familiar n comfortable with.

2. A small gathering of relatives and close friends.
3. Afternoon party. Sofea normally take her nap around 11 - 12 p.m. So kalo start kul 2 above tu should be ok i guess. Harap2 she's behaving well.hehe.
4. Will go for Mickey n friends theme. dun think it's important for my 1 year baby or the guests..it's just to add a little fun n for the benefits of keepsake photos.
5. Homemade food - which means i'll cook. This is one of the major part coz i've to prepare lunch menu for the guests. I know it's gonna be quite a hard work but i simply love to cook myself. (Masakan melayu.)Kalo western ke or baking ke ape ke mmg agak fail la. Haha.
6. Finger food untuk kunyah2 n for children.
7. Beverages - i opt for sunquick drink / ribena / mineral water.
8. Cupcakes everyone! - hmm..no cake, just cupcakes as i think it's less messy than cake. Can't wait to see sofea dives into the first slice of the cupcake. Harap2 takde allergy whatsoever. We've ordered the cupcake 1 week in advance.
9. Decorations - Bought Mickey birthday banner n mickey balloon for centerpiece. And some other cute stuffs even though i sendiri pun tak tau cane nak decorate sendri nanti. coz i'm not that creative. haha. i lebih concern about foods=p
10. Mickey blow-out - party favor for kids.
11. Sofea's books n toys for other kids to play.
10. Camera la of course. But i leave that to mylocx. Jgn lupa charge battery sudah.=p

Just hope everything turns out ok. I always keep in mind that baby memang unpredictable. So siap sedia jela kalo sofea get cranky/moody. I'm not a perfectionist. So i dun quite believe in a perfect party. Just trying my best to make everyone happy n wanna enjoy every moment no matter how far it is from perfect.

Nite nite. Daa..
