Idzhar's 3rd Birthday Bash

Wow! I've written this waaay earlier but I forgot to actually post it so here's one extra late posting about my little brother's birthday last October.

Idzhar turned 3 recently and we celebrated it at Tok Abah's house. After months of asking and receiving a different answer every time, he finally decided on a theme for his party - Olaf In The Summer!

Since Idzhar's birthday is at the end of the year and during the monsoon season, it's quite tricky to organise a summer themed party when it rains heavily every single day. Mommy was quite nervous organising his party this time remembering how Idzhar's party turned up to be like last year when it rained almost all day and left very little time for the kids to play at the bouncy castle outside. So this year, Tok Babah decided to have tents covering the whole outdoor area including where the bouncy castle was. We were not taking any chances in case the rain decided to pour non-stop this time.

Like all the parties before this, mine or Idzhar's, mommy started her planning much earlier from choosing the party packs,

the personalised stuff to be filled into the bags,

the balloons,

the bouncy castle,

and last but definitely not least, the Olaf cake!

Dadda handled the ordering-of-the-food part and he ordered good western food from his friend who's a chef. Tok Babah also contributed to a delicious roast lamb and colourful salad.

I was so excited to celebrate Idzhar's birthday. Both Idzhar and I dressed up according to the theme on that day. Mommy told the rest to dress in either white and blue or yellow for the Olaf in The Summer effect.

Most of our relatives and friends came and some of my friends and Idzhar's friends came too. My friends even showed up in costumes! I invited a few of my friends and even gave them a map to show them how to get to Tok Abah's house. 

We even got to make our own pizza organised by dadda's friend, the chef!

And then it was time to cut cake!

I hope everyone had fun that day. There were so much fun and laughter. It was so good to get to catch up with friends and family. It was raining that morning when we woke up all the way till 2ish in the afternoon. Miraculously, almost exactly at 3pm when the party was scheduled to start, the rain stopped and the sun decided to show itself. It didn't rain for the rest of the day and the party was a blast!

At the end of the day we were all so tired. Birthday boy was tired and excited at the same time. I'm glad that he was happy and enjoyed himself. 

It was indeed an exhausting but fruitful and fun day! 

It's Been A While...

Okay, okay... I know... it has been a while... In fact, this is my 1st post for this year! The fact is that my schedule is increasingly busy nowadays, I don't even have time to watch TV except in the mornings over breakfast! Anyway, let me just do a recap on what's been happening in my life in the past few months.

Well, firstly, the bibik we had for the past 2 years has finally gone back to her hometown in Indonesia. She came to help mommy and dadda take care of my brother, Idzhar and I 2 years ago and have been very helpful with the whole family. She wanted to extend her stay with us but her husband wanted her to go back and help their daughter at their food stall.

So since January, when she left us, Idzhar has been attending school with me at CIC. I have to tell you that he's adjusting pretty well with school life and I'm very proud of him. I'll be attending primary school next year and I hope that Idzhar will be fine being in school by himself without having me looking out for him like now.

Another exciting news is Pak Su Ami and Aunty Kynaz had a baby boy so I now have a cousin brother. That means that I have another brother to take care of too. His name is Syed Aaron Suffyan and he is such a chubby baby boy! He was born on the 30th of December so he'll be turning 1 in a few months' time.

Anyway, just wait for my next post that's coming real soon... I'm gonna tell you what happened during my birthday month. Do you remember what month it is? 

Will be back soon! Promise.
