all the things that could go wrong with any party, did. we had guests calling at practically the eleventh hour (which was really one hour before the party) asking if they could still come, even though the rsvp date was set 8 days ago! no problemo, we had anticipated that and as there was plenty of food, everybody was welcomed (eventhough i was cursing them under my breath for their very bad manners).
the food wasn't even set by the time the guests started streaming in, which resulted in moi running around and shouting in a hushed tone through gritted teeth like a mad woman. there goes my image. the entertainer, mr magician, did a no-show at the appointed time. of course, that further sent me down the maniac spiral. i practically pressed the redial button every other second, hoping to locate him and give him a piece of my mind. i don't think i want to recount the panic that followed. blah blah blah, fast forward a little, he came just seconds before i lost my sanity. sigh!
to top it all off, a little girl decided to lock herself inside the toilet. sigh! it definitely wasn't out of sheer enjoyment because she looked close to tears when i peeped through the windows ...however, i don't know which part of 'turn the key' that she didn't manage to figure out on her own. i put on my kindest 'fake-iest' voice and simply asked her to turn the key clockwise...and hey presto! i made a little girl appear from the toilet.
at the end of it all, the birthday girl enjoyed herself immensely...and i think it was all worth it to see the glow on her face. perhaps she may have been even happier if her mummy wasn't so grumpy. :-p
the silver lining behind the cloud? my strapless top wasn't pulled down by some mischievious over-active boy. i was pushing my luck a little, wasn't i?

Can i see a picture of the pinata, please? LOL!
glad you kept your sanity despite all of the things that went "wrong"! *grin*
Happy Birthday, Little Girl! :)
p.s. I use an old Nikon Coolpix 5200 for my photos. a little touch-up on Photoshop and photos turn out pretty good. try the sharpening tool after resizing photos to give it a crispier edge!
oh geeez. the things you go through for your kid! what can i say? mummies are the best in the world!!
looks like you're coping well with things. hope everything is well with your MIL.
oh... someone should have turned mischievious.... heh!
dear jonzz: sorry, i was in charge of the video cam. it was a cute fish pinata and a pony pinata...imagine....
dear may: very nearly, dear may. very nearly joined the group at tg rambutan.
eventhough i sharpen, i can't get that extra clear and crisp edge like you. i want a Nikon too!!! *grins* ....or maybe it's just my lack of skills. :-(
dear serene: yehhhhhhhh! hip hip hurray!!! someone finally sees my value! *hugzzz*
dear zewt: i need distraction. keeping busy is the key of the game. it's mostly waiting on the other side. i think everybdy has accepted the diagnosis but we are waiting for results...sigh! you know, you just can't hurry the medical procedures, no matter how impatient u are.
*smack* that little someone would have been the second one to be locked in the toilet! n this time locked frmo the outside. kekekeke.
"second"? .... how was the first experience?
dear zewt: eh, second child to be locked in the toilet lah. not second time my top got pulled down!! *rolling eyes* u want to know her experience? i interview her for you ahhhhh...it probably goes something like this.."ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...mummmyyyyyyy..."
