Irfan’s Robo Party!
April 8th, 2009
The party was done on the 4th of April - a day after his birthday - after 2 months (or more!) of preparations. Initially, it was suppose to start at 5pm, but since the rain has been pouring in the evenings, I changed the time to 1.30 p.m - 5 days before the party. Talk about last minute decision-making! Heh. So anyhow, I prepared most of the stuff myself - from the food to the favours to the invites (with some help from Etsy) to the decor - and all that hardwork and kepenatan paid off when I saw the joy on Irfan’s face! :) I didn’t get to snap a single shot during the party but Aaron has fully made up for that with his bee-yoooooo-ti-fooool pictures! Thanks dude! :)
It rained around 1.15pm and quite heavily too and I was just praying endlessly that it would stop soon. And it did! Phew. By the time the guests arrived, the sky looked clear - albeit some dark clouds - but it didn’t rain until everything was over and most of the guests had gone home. Alhamdulillah. :)
Irfan was just happy running about and I don’t know what is up with him, but he just loves to sakat and irritate the hell out of Naomi. I really pity her. There even came a point where both of them were having heated arguments at one corner. Aiya. Kecik-kecik sudah pandai ka? Haha.
He soon forgot all about bugging Naomi when it was time for him to hit the pinata. For the record, I’m not allowing anymore pinatas at any of our parties. Geez. Too violent! And other than Irfan and Yazid (boys WILL be boys!), no other kids dared to whack Buzz Lightyear. In the end, Irwan and I took turns to hit the pinata and Irwan finally broke it after a while. Kids and adults had fun grabbing whatever favours there were coming out of the pinata.
Soon it was the candle blowing session and suddenly, the wind started blowing hard. And there were too many candles to light up. Note to self: just do it in an enclosed area next time! :P Irfan was happy blowing the candles and was seen giving his grandparents, uncles and aunty the cupcakes (instead of cakes). Awwww… how sweet!
All in all, it was a great party and I am so glad that (almost) everyone made it and thank you guys for all the great presents. :)
Irfan, we really hope you had your greatest time ever, because we definitely did! And seen below are some of the other photos Aaron has managed to capture. For more photos, please visit his blog. Danke!
