How Time Flies!!!!!!

I still remembered very well when Jack was 1. We have organised a party for him too, but was not so attentively to the details. It was more like party for adults (eating and drinking) for them.




If you ask me what is the different between Jack and the twins when they were 1, I would say:-

1. I must admit I do not know the twins that well. I was less attentively to them. Most probably because the maids are very capable and I have Jack too, to attend to.

2. Physical growth - they are about the same size as Jack. Weigh wise, Jack tops them all. Length wise, Dylan tops them all.

3. Brain Development - The twins are slower than Jack. Most probably the time and opportunity to spend time, read to them and talk to them is limited.

4. Eating habits - all are good. They eat anything and all the time.

Some of you might thinks what sort of parents we are, sounded like we care less of the twins than Jack.  
Hey, it is not an easy job. Imagine this, you come home, you pick up 1 kid, 1 will be screaming for you to carry him/her and Jack will be pulling you, to try to talk to you, to get you to do something and etc. 

We try our best to spend time with them, play with them and also allocate 1 to 1 time with them, but time is never enough, right. At least, we don't leave them to the maids at them. We take care of all 3 of them at night.

The Twins Are 1

Finally, the party, the celebrations are all over. The Twins have turned 1. 

Here are the details of as planned vs actual:-


1. The Theme and  The party Planner

We managed to stick to 'Dibo the gift Dragon' theme. So the mineral water, chocolate bars, Balloons and the party decorations were supplied by Razzle Dazzle Party Box (the party planner). Unfortunately, the party planner was not able to provide her service on 17th Nov as it was Hari Raya Haji.


As there was no helium gas available, the bouquet of balloons was not possible








2. The Cake

In view of the budget, I have scaled down the design of the cake to 2D instead of 3D. The cake was prepared by Jessica.







And, I made this myself, less sugar for the children. Yeah, mind the decoration. Not bad for first trial, right?



3. The Photographer

Of course, it is going to be Anna-Rina. Look at these 'juicy' photographs.









4. The Caterer

Not the best but was reasonable and most important, there was enough food for everybody.




5. The Door gift

It was the wall stickers that I have got from the 'flea' market in Amcorp mall. And the labels was from living cabin in Mid Valley.




6. Guests

The turn-out was about 90%. Some confirmed but no show. That is life!



At least, Jack's friends were there!

So, that's my duty done as parents. No more big style celebration/party. From age 2 onwards, will be just a cake and few candles!!!!!
