Janelle 1st birthday party was held last saturday! Mummy had been busy since the day before the party till today then got the time to update Janelle's blog. Overall, the party was quite success except that Mummy and Daddy had ordered too much food this time round!
Mummy and Daddy had decided to choose Jia Le catering. Mummy and Daddy didn't expect their serving of food is alot more than Neo Gardens! During Janelle's full month celebration, Neo Gardens' servings was not alot which ended up with not enough food for the guests during the afternoon session. Thus, this time round, Mummy and Daddy decided to order 90pax on the catering for 120+ guests. Mummy had instructed the catereer to separate the buffet line into 2 (40 pax & 50 pax). The 50 pax serving looks as much as the 70 pax serving that Mummy ordered previously from Neo Gardens.
On the day of the party, Mummy woke up at 6.30am to go market to buy chicken, ang ku kuehs, cake, fetch Great Grand Ah Ma and Grand Auntie etc. At about 9am+, Yi Yi, Ah Ma and Ah Gong reached our house. Mummy and Yi Yi faster rush down to the Multi-Purpose Pavillion to decorate the place. Ah Gong, Daddy and Ah Gu helped up with setting up the tables and chairs. At about 11am, the helium balloons and catering came! Mummy still haven't even get to bath herself and change into clean set of clothes! Once Daddy came down from his bath, Mummy handed over the place to Daddy and asked Daddy to make payment for the catering etc while Mummy proceed upstairs to bath etc. At the same time, Dadddy and Ah Gu set up the hi-fi set and played songs to create the atmosphere! Hehe.
At about 12pm+, guests started to arrive! Mummy haven't even got the time to rest. Luckily there are so many relatives around to help to look after Janelle thus Mummy and Daddy can be "spared" from carrying Janelle etc! Cake and agar agar arrived at about the same time, 1pm! That's a perfect timing as Mummy wanted to cut the cake at about 1.30pm. At about 1.45pm, Mummy asked Daddy whether can we proceed to cut the cake as Janelle was getting cranky due to lack of sleep and some guests going to leave soon too. Thus, Janelle proceed with the cake cutting session! Janelle was so happy when everyone sung the birthday song. Janelle clapped and smiled a lot while the birthday song was sung. Yi Yi even managed to capture a short clip on it.
At about 2pm+, Mummy asked some relatives to pack some food back since there were so many leftovers. Luckily our relatives are so nice and supportive of clearing the leftovers for us. Mummy also thanks Auntie Lynda for helping out to pack the food for the relatives. At last, Mummy managed to clear off all the food. Mummy and Daddy were very happy! At about 4pm+, almost all the guests had left except for grand-uncles are still there enjoying their beers! Thus, Mummy said we will just leave them there to drink, we will proceed upstairs to our house for chit chatting session instead of staying at the Multi Purpose Pavillion as there felt very warm due to the humid weather recently.
Overall, the party was quite successful! Mummy was happy with the decorations, cake, agar agar and catering. All the guests had quite positive comments about the catering. Daddy commented that he will order back Jia Le catering if there's any more upcoming functions.
