Party Preparation - Part 1

Airell first birthday is about a week away ..that's more or less 9 days before the BIG day ...we plan to have a thanksgiving party - and it's just for families...on both sides. At the last count we have more than 30 peoples in the list already (both kids and adult). His grandma & aunty from Betong will be coming as well as his other aunties in Kuching...and from our side, we invited my cousins, my uncles and aunties as well ...

So, the planning has been ongoing since a few weeks ago...mummy said she'll sponsor the food, while daddy will take care of the other stuff..as for my part - i am the party planner - arranging for catering, ordering the cake, planning the menus and the invitations ...

Today, i put the things in motion - went to Taiwan Cake House (which is highly recommended by Elena & Haslina) to put an order for the birthday cake ...i hope it turns out alright on the day!


Then I went to Batu 7 with dad to get some mats (tikar) ...dad wants to get a rattan mat ...and it was a successful shopping trip ...we ended up with 2 mats instead! it was on sale ...who can resist the sales, right? Anyway, one of the mat (pictured below) is actually made by Penan (from Baram) according to the shop owner ...dad loves it coz it uses rattan, as big as my index fingers!

And the last thing that i sorted today was re-confirming the catering orders ...as well as giving out direction to the house ...am happy that at least i got these three things sorted!
