Zethan's Superb Six Part I

Pretty determined this time round to be a little more hardworking in keeping my blog dated, rather furiously update the backdated post. Trying out Blogger app for the first time with this post, hoping to throw out my lazy excuse of laptop unavailability. We shall see how far the enthusiasm will last, crossed fingers and toes.

And so the dilemma reignite once again on birthday celebrations and parties. You might not have remembered but I did promised the daddy some years back that we will stopped this party thingy altogether. Well in actual fact it did for a good few years. My decision was shaken upon seeing his friends having party this year and speaking to the mummy friends, kind of make sense. You see, this will be the last year they could celebrate their birthday in school and before their next major milestone of going to primary school. It feels like no more Funtime and time to get serious with academic and all. So I tried my very best to convince the daddy with this very reason and top it up with "he will feel disappointed attending friend's party while he does not have one himself". Okay this is just a crappy excuse hoping can pull through. The daddy knew jolly well for every one reason he cited, it would be shot down with 10 so wisely he did not have any violent objection.

Preparations started at lightning speed as we were badly rushed for time. Somehow with tighter timeline, I appear to work much more efficiently, me bad! Consulted the birthday boy on his preferences. Before I even can blink, his choice is out, bowling again. Quite a no brainer in terms of location, back to Chevron once again. Called the centre for booking, call the cafe for menu, decide on food and viola, we are good to go. Invitations begin which was not too tough since we are keeping it a small affair with a few close friends and family members. The next critical item - CAKE. Was really relieved the boy is open to the idea of buying a ready made cake and planting his Lego figurines as toppers. He specifically requested to have to same cake as daddy's. 

On the Sunday, the children basically hogged both lanes and they are left on their own to decide how to manage their turns to bowl. It was a close and enjoyable celebration, pretty much fuss free and we have more than ample time to catch up with everyone. No fanciful cake, no fanciful decorations, no balloons (sign of growing up?!!). As for the birthday boy, he had so much fun with all his requests met, definitely no chance for any complain. 

Ultimately so long as the child is happy, we are happy. Affirmative the last birthday party celebration for him! Enjoy the photos....
