Aidan & Brit

Having fun on the bouncing castle


We were at Aidan's 1st Brithday today. Aidan's mum is Brit and we went to University together and I just realised that we have been friends for 15 years! We had so much fun at University doing innocent crazy things, and had fun as working adults,and been through each other's weddings and delivery and now attending each other's party or the kis party and live about 20mins from each other. So we had a blast of a time at the party both adults and children. Children had great fun in the bouncing castle and playing football! Will attach photos, have some technical glitches. Great party Brit...though you look like you can do with a good long break..Not an easy task to put up a party for kids.

Siva's Birthday

Our family's Birthday falls one after another. It starts with Arjoonha in April, Bhaarath and me in May and Siva in June. Today is Siva's Birthday(my husband). Getting a gift for Siva is the hardest thing to do (still thinking of what to get him). I took Siva out for dinner to this nice place, Australian Outback at Bangsar Village. It has a cosy, pleasant setting, and our kind of country music was playing. So we ordered serious stuff like lamb and beef and tucked away. I find the food to be better then Chillis! Then we talked about the house, kids, etc.. and without the kids around we can really talk. I used to feel guilty leaving the kids at home and having the 'Us' time, but now I do realise how important it is to do this. Life tends to get so busy and crowded and we forget how important it is to invest in 'Us' as a couple. So did have a good evening, and we came home to my so called adopted sister Jaci who dropped by with a cake. It was a good thing as the kids were looking forward to singing the birthday anthem for their father. Another thing, I thought this was really sweet. Siva received Birthday greetings from his mum. She said she remembers the day he was born; easy birth, healthy baby, lovely sunday morning(the amazing part is she remembers this, as she has 10 kids). Happy Birthday Siva, may you have another 40 healthy ones! Will post photos later today, my laptop is having some issues.

It's my party, I cry if I want to...

Usha's lovely cake..yummy



Blowing all 36 candles...

Lovely flowers from husband Seeing Louis there was a surprise

I had a surprise party thrown for me today. Yes tomorrow is my birthday. I left work and straight headed to Mydin Subang Jaya to do the weekly grocery. The jam was really bad as I was returning home and my husband called and asked me for a lift. So I came home to drop groceries but kids and awi (my domestic Goddess) were not to be found so I assumed they may have gone walking ...So I rushed through the traffic to pick Siva up and he was grinning ear to ear and presented me with a bouquet of white roses. Hmmm he remembered. I mentioned some time ago that for my funeral (yes I do like to plan ahead!) I wanted white roses only (now I wonder why he is giving me white roses on my birthday, is he trying to tell me something!!!). I am a sucker for flowers and do not like practical gifts, I love being spoilt with roses and chocolates. Then we went to pick up pizzas to go, as he said his colleagues told him to get them for breakfast (at this point I was suspecting he had something up his sleeves). Then he drove straight to Bangsar to a friends house and out came the cake, and my kids, maid, aunty Lizzy, Usha, Angel and Louis Vham were there. So we ate and chatted and ate some more. My friends never fail to throw me a party every year..! Usha made a cake for me, carrot cake with cream cheese topping, but she was not happy with it so they got me another cake from Strudels. It was indeed a good evening, and I am still not sure how they managed to get Louis there. I am indeed blessed with good family and very good friends. Thank you Angel for always making my birthday special, and thank you Usha for the lovely cake, thanks aunt lizzy for letting us dirty your beautiful house, and thanks Louis for appearing there from your busy, busy social life and thanks to arjoonha, sheroz and bhaarath for hiding in the dark waiting for their mother to walk in to surprise her. And thanks to Siva for giving me what I love and not what I need, and waiting for me patiently for 3 hours.

My Boy's Birthday Party

My sons 5 and 2 will be having their birthday party today at 11am. It was a whirlwind of searching for venue before deciding on this one. My home is too small to hold a band of 25 kids ...and many adults, then I went on a search and decided on the Birds Park...but with our unpredictable weather it can ruin the party as it's all outdoors, and thought of having a pool party but weather did not permit, then the aquaria seemed like a great choice but it is was way above the budget we had. So in the end we are having it at the Kidz sports and Gym, and so far it seems like a perfect choice. The boys dont know where the party is going to be held so its going to be a surprise for them. The children are going to have a blast of a time. They have been counting the days eagerly. Okay got to go now, will post the birthday pictures later...Much to do prior to leaving. And also my generous husband has offered to give 2 friends a lift. Much coordination, between picking up kids, and picking up friends before heading up to the venue. Bye.......
