party @ 183

another month, another birthday... we're celebrating cayden's 3rd birthday today. just a small gathering of friends and janet's & jason's family. since i'm still not working yet, i volunteered to take charge of the buying of the present.

in the end, i settled on a leap pad with 3 story books from toys 'r' us and a bob the builder lego duplo set from metro after shopping around. toys 'r' us has the best price for the leap pad and a buy 2 and get the 3rd book free for the leap pad books. while only metro and tangs have a 20% discount for lego sets.

when i arrived at punggol with siew leng, janet was out collecting the cake with jason and cayden. and the caterer had not arrived! so i sms-ed janet to complain 'i'm here liao... where's the food?!' :P hehe...

as with all kid's parties, there was a lot of screaming and running around. soon the playroom's floor was filled with toys as each of them brought out more toys to play. followed by the inevitable throwing of tantrums when some of them want to play with the same toy.

strangely, i didn't think they were overly noisy today... maybe my hearing is going off? or i'm conditioned by the upgrading construction noise at home?

the food by neo garden was quite good, i had 2 servings of it as well as 2 servings of the longan almond tofu cocktail dessert. jarad likes the dessert too! :P

next up was the birthday song singing and cake cutting, much-awaited by the kids. however, cayden doesn't seem to have warm up yet, looking a bit spaced out and detached.

i think the grandparents looked most happy.

somebody asked why so many photos of jarad? that's because he's still not running around with the rest yet! haha...
