The Pre-Birthday Party

The party itself was a job well done I think. But the run up to it had me hyper ventilate a bit. Haha!

I had planned out what needs doing about a month ago already. So, everything went according to plan. The guestlists, the invites, the cakes, the menu, the party packs, the balloons etc..

Thursday night the plan was for me to siapkan all the party packs. All 50 of them. But, I had a bad headache and when I put Jannah to sleep I couldn't for the life of me wake myself up after. The reason it had to be done on Thursday was because we had to leave for Kuantan Friday afternoon for Hubby's cousin's wedding on Saturday. Mind you, this was a last minute decision so that's why all the rush. Called Ija of CreateMyOwnGift to tell her I couldn't pick up the chocolates after work and nasib baik being the nice friend that she is, Ija was willing to come a bit earlier to the party. Thanks Ija!

We arrived in Kuantan around 9ish, terus singgah the new East Coast Mall. Semata kerana nak beli towel. Oh, sangat posh itu mall ok. And to think that it is only a 10 minute walk from the kampung house. Sangat heaven! Anyway, because I know I do not have much time left, I brought back some of the stuff for the baby party packs. So malam tu gigih sampai pukul 3 pagi dok buat the party pack. Inilah hasilnya..










Saturday morning, we woke up at 10. Haha. Buruk betul perangai, balik kampung sekali sekala. Kol 10 pagi baru nak bangun. But it was bliss I tell ya, to not have to wake up coz of the kids. Oh, lupa pulak nak cerita kitorang balik kampung tu sans princesses. Kalau bawak diorang balik, hadoi penat la. Anyway, that pagi I was busy helping Mak siapkan the hantaran for De. Kat sana, diorang tak bawak hantaran tu sekali masa nikah.. but they bring it masa datang for the reception. So, that's why la all the chocolates and buah tak siap lagi.

We left for the nikah at 2pm. And how we thought it was going to be a quick in and out. How wrong we were! The kadi decided to bercerita panjang lebar about everything. And he went into detail of everything.. even the rukun nikah! Orang semua dah kebas 3-4 kali dah. Pukul 4 baru habes aqad. Kitorang tak tunggu makan pun, terus gerak balik. Coz I had another wedding to attend to that night.

Hubby's cousin looking all panicky before the aqad. Hehehe..

Arrived in PJ, ngam2 before Maghrib. Sempat nyanyi birthday song for Jannah, which she responded with a toothy grin before going back to watching TV. That's how cool that little girl is. Dia sikit pon tak heran. Kalau kakak dia, nampak je Mommy or Papa dah balik, melekat dah. And start la her whiny mode.

That night we went for Lyna's wedding in KGPA. Lyna is an old friend, back in primary days. People used to say we were twins because we were forever together and also because our names was somewhat similar. And it was nice to see some familiar faces from back then.

So, we only arrived back in Bangi at 12 midnight. And baru la start nak kemas rumah. Nasib baikla ada extra pair of hands in the form of Bibik. And baru la malam tu nak siapkan the rest of the party packs. And I slept at 3 again. Woh. Mmg weng tak hengat.
