- Nasreen’s birthday was on 1st Dec so we thought we could do some cost-cutting by doing 2 celebrations in 1;
- Nik was in town last week for a week or so, and that was the best time to do the birthday party; and
- This week will be the Christmas week with an extra day-off, which falls on Monday (26 Dec 05 – hey, it’s pay time!!!!) so most people will not be in town or if they do, they must be busy with their families as the weekend is longer.
So, the birthday was set on Sunday, 18 December 2005 @ 5.30pm. It was held at McD Sect 3, Shah Alam and we invited some closed friends and relatives. It was just a small party and the kids really enjoyed themselves. I made 2 large cakes, i.e. a carrot cake with cheese topping and ‘Spongebob’ on top for Naqeeb and a moist chocolate cake for Nasreen.
I thought the kids must be really excited but it turned out that my excitement outweighs theirs (heehehee) – the cakes were prepared one day ahead and the icing was done on Sunday morning. I was so busy with the preparation that at one point, I felt like I was preparing a wedding ceremony for my child …. Hahahah! Macam mak pengantin....
That day, I wasn’t feeling well and I still had my fever. Towards evening, I was losing my voice already….. of all the days that I was sick, my voice chose to take a day off right on the day of my children’s birthday party. Great! My throat felt like I had thousands of small needles pricking through it and the worst part is I sounded like a duck… Donald Duck, precisely! But the party went well. Some of my high school friends turned up and it was like a small gathering for all of us, the mommies.
Mommies chatting away.... reminicsing the good ol' times

To those who took some time off and came to the party, thank you from all of us for making it happened. To those who couldn't make it...well, there's always another time. To my children..... happy birthday! ..... how time flies so fast! Felt like it was just yesterday they took their first steps forward...
Hugs and kisses from MAMA.

Birthdays at McDs (and the likes) remind me of those days when Emil had his.
Now that he's all grown up, he asks for day-outs with his friends (on my account!).
Anyway, these are the best times of your life.
Cherish it and capture every moment. Once they're grown up, there's a whole set of excitement and amazement to keep tab of.
P/s :
Syok reminisce over our hairstyle, trends and all those silly things we did when we were in high school.
On the same note, I remember u wrote to one of the radio prog (or was it magazine?) on some health issue. U were telling them some probs with regard to ur boobs... hahahaha.... still remember or not??? I can because we were laughing abt it so loud in the classroom (u know la how Kae can behave so indecently sometimes).
