Birthday theme for my boys : Abg SN, SN Jr and SuperJr SN

Salam

I know it's been a while ...it's been almost a year since I update my blog. Well you see, I was tied up with so many things to do during the semester that I only get to have extra time to update my blog during exam week or semester break. I know it's a pretty cliche excuses, but that's the truth. Though I still have loads of works to finish during this exam weeks, I really think I need a break from those piles of papers sitting on my desk...waiting to be mark....phew. 

Out of 821673463842383293128 tasks as a mom, preparing birthday celebration for the kids is one of the task that took 2-3 months to plan; although it is only for an hour of "execution" huhu. Nevertheless, we mom did it anyway for the sake of the happiness of our kids which people say is priceless but what everybody forgot to mention is it is costly  **because you still have to pay for the cake,deco,gifts and etc...hahahaha.

I used to be the one who has to crack my head, thinking about the theme for their birthday party. But now, the boys decided that they wanted to choose their own birthday theme, and so mommy said "be my guest"! **well, at least it has spare me the trouble of thinking.

 (1) Fire-fighter theme for SN Jr's 3rd birthday party (17th October 2015)

Since his birthday is on weekdays, I decided to just celebrate it at his kindergarten with his friends. I baked butter cupcake and adds juice drinks + chocolate nuts for the goodies. 

Cake was ordered from D'Honey bakery Parit Raja. Design of the cake was chosen by SN Jr after some 'googling' on the net with mommy. The kids love the cake and mommy loves the taste of the cake and the price of the cake hehe.

To keep up with the theme, I borrow a firefighter uniform from my sister's kindy. He was so excited to wear it from the moment he saw it. Abg SN joined this celebration and sometimes took the limelight away from SN Jr hehe.

 

It happens that I also have a pile of 10 fire fighter's hat at home so I brought it to his kindy for the birthday celebration so that his friend can also get to enjoy the fire fighter theme as well. 

Alhamdulillah, despite the small celebration SN jr really enjoy it and he surely lives in the moment as he still couldn't stop talking about the celebration until today. I guess by now, he was already thinking on what kind of birthday theme he wanted for his 4th birthday .

(2) Itsy Bitsy Spider-theme for SuperJr SN 1st birthday (10th May 2016)

I choose this theme because obviously SuperJr SN can't decide on it by his own..yet. He loves the Itsy Bitsy spider song,  up to the extent where he'll stop crying once he heard this song. Thus, I always use this song whenever he is in bad mood, it works wonder all the time.

The celebration was held at his nursery as it was on weekdays and mommy & daddy don't want to be bother about cleaning the house later hahaha. I asked for help from my office mate to help me in designing his birthday banner and send for printing at  Izprinting Service. 

Cake was ordered from my office mate's wife who runs a bakery shop at Muar. Design for the cake was google-d and she executed it well that all the babies and toddlers were kind of amazed after looking at the cake.

Birthday boy was a bit grumpy as the celebration took place during his nap time. 

But after feeding him with the cake,he lights up and wouldn't stop eating already .

(3) Military + LEGO theme for Abg SN's 7th birthday (26th May 2016)

Abg SN choose army armored theme for his 7th birthday. He chooses this theme simply because at that time he wanted to be askar. But if you ask him now, I think he wanted to be footballer, and if you ask him tomorrow he might say he wanted to be Tahfiz Muda. 

 

Despite choosing military theme, he requested for LEGO-theme cake. I had to order 3 LEGO-cakes as SN jr was asking why only abang & adik get the cakes. Eventually, my  3++ year old boys didn't really understand the concept that you only get your birthday cake on your birthday. Anyway, to make sure everyone happy....here's a cake for each of mommy's boys. 

 

Abg SN requested to celebrate his birthday with his teachers and friends at school as his birthday was on the last day of school days before the school holiday. 

His birthday banner was also designed by my office mate and printed by Izprinting Service. 

Since we didn't celebrate it properly at home, so I ordered another cake for another birthday celebration with the family back in our hometown at Kelantan, few days before Ramadhan. It was also a joined birthday celebration for my cousin, my niece and my 2 boys (abg SN and superJr SN)

For this celebration, I ordered mango cake from myschool mate i.e. safuraaqitchen. Unfortunately, SuperJr SN couldn't join in the celebration as he was down with fever caused by tonsil infection. 

Anyhow, it was still a joyful celebration for the family and that was all that matters.

Psstttt : terliur pulak tengok gambar kek bulan2 posa ni uwaaaaa.

SN jr a.k.a Bangchik SN's 2nd birthday party

Salam

I'm such a bad blogger these days and I would also say, quite a bad mommy. Ada ke patut, bday SN jr yang ke 2 tahun dah celebrate 3 bulan lepas...hari ni baru nak update? Hari ni ada masa nak update blog bersawang berhabuk ni sebab start minggu lepas duk pulun ganti posa sebelum bersalin, so ada masa sikit masa lunch break untuk update blog so let's do it bebeh!.

Oh btw, sebab SN jr dah nak dapat adik lagi 3 bulan..so kita tukar nickname jadi Bangchik SN pulak wokeh. Cenggitu lah mommy ko ni nak, dulu2 Abg SN kita panggil Baby SN, so SN jr pon kita tukor lerr panggil Bangchik SN pulak; harap maklum.

Bangchik SN was born on 17th Oct 2012 but we celebrated his 2nd birthday with family and friends on 25th Oct 2015 at Bangi. Why Bangi? Since most of our family and friends lives in Klang valley, we decided it will be much easier if we celebrate it at our small apartment in Bangi. 

+- sebelum tetamu sampai, posing dulu sedas dua -+

I made the invitation card by editing cards from online.

As usual I ordered some customized party decorations e.g. custom word banner, custom cut stickers, cake banner and party hats from Sweet Almiraz. Its really easy to deal with her, plus we've known each other for few years through this blogging-FB-IG-whatapps world, so I will probably just deal with her on any customized decorations for any type of celebration. The theme for his 2nd birthday party is Transportation as Bangchik SN loves all sorts of vehicles.

As for the cake, I ordered Buttercake Orange Strawberry from Mamabisya Cake House. Alhamdulillah she manage to pull off the design that I asked her to do, and I am one happy customer.

+- kejap je kek bertahan, lepas tu dah kena serbu dengan tangan2 kecik berebut toys atas kek -+

I've also made some DIY photoprops for the guests...errr, or you might say for me and my selfie purposes :p.

+- DIY photoprops by yours truly -+

And as for my own liking, I ordered super delicious Banoffee pie, Fruit Tart and Chocolate brownies from SaraRisya. Menu of the day were : Laksam (ordered from SIL's friends) and Nasi Daging with air asam which I cook it myself...fuhh *pat on my own shoulder*. Yang sedihnya, takde orang ambik gambar nasi yang I masak uwaaaa.

Goody bags were prepared for the adults and kids. Kids get aeroplane toys with some sweets while the adults gets kerepek inside their goody bags, kata duk Johor kan; haruslah goody bags di isi dengan kerepek ehehe.

+- siapa bagi hadiah je dapat goody bag muahahhah -+

It was pretty much just a simple makan2 with close family and friends. I couldn't invite many guest as it was just a small apartment but I think it is better this way as Bangchik SN couldn't really understand all the commotions that mommy had to go through with the preparation behind this celebration now. Maybe when he's a bit older, we'll make a bigger celebration for him.

+- my family -+

+- my close friends -+

You can see that Bangchik SN is not smiling in any of his pictures as the celebration was made during his afternoon nap time. Just imagine if mommy beria sambut birthday dia besar-besaran, end up dia bad mood je sebab mengantuk; kan ke rugi duit & tenaga mommy tu? Ngeee *cheapskate + lazy mommy*.

The party was held from 2-4 pm and we hurriedly has to tidy up all the mess before going back to Johor as Sunday is working day for mommy & daddy and school day for both SNs. He had another celebration with his friends back in his nursery where I've prepared another sets of 30 goody bags filled with toys car and some sweets. Cake pulak beli kat bakery nearby je..pilih yang ada sipi2 tema transportation kira boleh lah labu.

 +- goody bag & cake for his friends at nursery -+

 +- his own way of making a 'peace' sign -+

Happy 2nd birthday Bangchik SN. Mommy, Daddy & Abg SN loves you so much despite you being mommy's koala baby and ju-on baby. Stay manja as you are right now cause I know someday when you are all grown up, you wont be manja-ing with me anymore...sob sob sob.

+- SN's family with the birthday boy -+

+- Bangchik SN with some of the birthday presents -+

Psssttt : Picking you up and cuddling you in my arms, looking into your eyes and being smitten by your cute charms. I wish I could hit the pause button in my life’s journey, so I could enjoy these beautiful moments in your company. Happy 2nd birthday Bangchik SN.

5x sambut birthday Abg SN yang ke-5

Salam,

Konon2 nak update blog regularly tapi entry birthday Abg SN ni pun dah peram sebulan muahahha. Okeh takpe, better late than never.

Sempena birthday Abg SN yang ke-5 tahun on 26th May 2014, maka sambutan pon kena lah buat sebanyak 5x...amboiiii kellas kau nak, mengalahkan anak Dato'..hohoho. 

(1) Sambutan keluarga kecil SN

Sambut kat rumah ber-4 dengan daddy, mommy dan SN Jr. Tema minion memang Abg SN yang request. Dengan gigihnya mommy print banner birthday sendiri kat printer ofis mommy, pastu huk aloh habis ink pulok. Maka terimalah seadanya warna biru dah jadi pink ngeee. Mujur jugak Minion birthday theme dah banyak orang share printable kat website, maka download je lah. Kalau harap mommy design sendiri lagi hazab la jawabnya nak.

+- nampak banner kat belakang tu tak cukup color -+

 

 +- dah besar tapi still manja kededek dengan mommy -+

T-shirt sedondon 4 beranak order kat instagram @kidsnowadaysclothing. Good service, efficient, cepat dan cantik. Harga pun reasonable, highly recommended kalau jenis tak nyabor macam I eheh.

+- gedik nak sedondon walaupun celebrate kat rumah je -+

-+ t-shirt Abg SN special sikit ada no 5 kat belakang -+

Sambutan takde makan kek tapi posing dengan kek semata-mata. Mommy sikit punya terliur nak rasa kek tapi Abg SN tak bagi potong sebab dia nak bawak pergi kindy. Siap cakap; "kawan2 abg tu mama papa dia hantar kek pergi sekolah tak potong pon".... Baik lah nak, mommy redha. 

+- muka mommy yang senyum tak ikhlas sebab tak dapat makan kek -+

Memandangkan Abg SN dah 5 tahun, hadiah birthday pun dah pandai request ikut kehendak sendiri. Dengan Daddy, dia mintak set Hot Wheels. Dengan Mommy, dia mintak supermarket playset. Mujur Abg SN tak buat muka tak malu mintak hadiah dengan aunties, uncles dan tok umi tok abah dia sekali ngeeeeeee.

+- birthday gift from daddy -+

+- your happiness is what matters the most to me -+

+- abg jadi tokey kedai, adik jadi pelanggan -+

(2) Sambutan di Tadika

Kek besar seberat 1.5kg tu memang order semata-mata sebab Abg SN nak bawa pergi kindy. Design kek memang abg SN yang request nak Minion mandi ocean, order dengan officemate mommy. Masa order siap Abg SN cakap sendiri yang dia nak kek strawberry design Minion mandi ocean. 

Demand nya ko nak, tapi bila ingat how happy I am setiap kali Arwah Ma celebrated my birthday ...so I promised myself that I would do the same for my children.

+- strawberry Minion themed cake -+

Persiapan goodie bag pun abg SN buat sendiri. Letak stationary Minion dan mini pretzel Minion yang mommy dan Abg SN buat sama2 over the weekend.

Sebelum tidur, bukan main bersemangat Abg SN cakap nak bangun pagi2 nak bawak kek nak makan dengan kawan2 kat sekolah. Alih2 bangun pagi tu dia bad mood pulak sebab malam tidur lambat. Jadi nya, I pun tak pasti cikgu ada ambik gambar ke tak abg SN's birthday celebration kat tadika memandangkan dia dah moody pagi2 tu. Tapi bila I fetch him up from school, teacher kata elok je makan kek ramai2.

(3) Sambut dengan Tok Umi

SN's gradma a.k.a Tok Umi's birthday is 3 days after abg SN's birthday. Kebetulan masa birthday Tok Umi tu both SNs and I balik Qelate for my cousin's wedding. So sambutan kali ke-3 birthday abg SN yang ke-5 tahun dibuat sama2 dengan sambutan birthday Tok Umi kat Pizza Hut KB Mall. Kali ni kek tumpang share dgn kek tok umi sponsored by Cik Ain pulak..thank you cik Ain.

(4) Sambut dengan  mommy's extended family.

Alang2 dah balik kampung, sambutlah jugak birthday Abg SN dengan mommy's extended family. Yang ni mommy tapau kek kat Secret Recipe je. Goodie bag yang lebih bawak balik ngam2 je untuk bagi kat mommy's lil cousins as well as SN's cousins. 

+- abg dah 5 years old! -+

+- tembakkkkkkk -+

+- mommy selebet je, ye lah kan kat rumah ni takkan nak pakai bulu mata pelesu pulak semata-mata nak ambik gambar -+

(5) Sambut dengan daddy's extended family.

Penutup kepada birthday Abg SN yag ke-5 tahun ialah sambutan kali ke-5 dengan daddy's extended family nun jauh di Sabah negeri di bawah bayu. Sekali harung dengan sambut birthday family members yang lain jugak masa trip to Sabah sempena Zain's family day 2014 (yang ni pun tak tau lah bila nak up entry kat blog huhu). Thank you kat Cik Amah-Ayoh Jim & Cik Iti-Ayoh Mat for the birthday gift.

+-SN Jr  geram tengok kek, tunggu masa je nak cuit icing -+

+- Daddy terpaksa campur tangan bila keadaan makin bahaya untuk kek tu eheh -+

Maka begitu lah berakhirnya sambutan birthday Abg SN yang ke-5 tahun.  Doa mommy & daddy semoga Abg SN membesar sihat, jadi anak soleh dan abg yang bertanggungjawab kat adik2, berjaya dunia akhirat dan bahagia sampai syurga...Ameen.

Pssssttt : Gamaknya birthday Abg SN tahun depan macam mana lah mommy nak cukupkan sampai 6x sambutan pulak? *pecah kepala*.
