Perfect Birthday Party

It was a perfect birthday for Akachan. Although it was raining during the afternoon, the sky cleared up towards the evening. In fact the weather was good, cooling with occasional breeze, perfect for a outdoor BBQ party!

We arrived at Bullion Park Condominium, the place for the BBQ party, at about 6pm and waited for the BBQ food caterer to arrive. Meanwhile, my brother Tristan brought Akachan to the poolside and let him waddle his feet in the water. Akachan was having a great time, he liked playing water so much that he practically allowed everyone to carry him as long as the person mentioned "pong pong" and bring him to the pool. He enjoyed so much that he refused to be carried away from the water, struggling and yelling each time. We had intended to let Akachan swim on this day. His swimming suit was prepared and we also bought him a baby float. However the evening was chilly and was not suitable for him to have the dip, so Akachan will have to make do waddling at the side of the pool.

Sarah's parents, sister Yeng Fang, Bock Eng, Kar-Ee and Tanya were here to join in the fun too.

When the food finally arived, everyone were hungry like wolves. The BBQ fire took a while to be started so everyone helped themselves to the cook food. It would really be a perfect party if not for the fried rice, which my father-in-law discovered it had turned foul. Ok this will be the first and last time I'll order from this caterer eventhough the BBQ food wasn't too bad.

It was time to bring out the birthday cake, we let Akachan stood on a chair in front of the table with the cake. Everyone surrounded him and he instantly became the star of the night, the center of attraction. We started to sing the birthday song and clapped our hands to the beat. The group of ladies and gentlemen at the neighbouring BBQ pit joined in the singing as well. Gosh, Akachan was really excited and started waving and clapping his hands. I blew off the candle on his behalf (accidental actually).

Although Akachan was still too young to eat a cake, I held his little index finger and dipped it into the yummy cream and put it in his mouth. Boy you should look at his expression. He learnt fast, the next moment, his fingers were full of cream. And yes, the cake from Prima Deli was delicious!
