Tobey's 2nd Birthday Party

He will be 2 on the 10th June. We threw him a party on the 7th June (Sunday). Venue was our home and food was partly home-cooked and bought, and of course the BBQ. The weather forecast for that day was suppose to be HEAVY RAIN for the entire day. I prayed superhard for a few hours of non-rainy period, just so that we can open up the garden for the kids to play and also for the BBQ to happen. The party starts at 1pm, by 12noon it was still pouring cats and dogs. Then it slowed down to a drizzle, and then it halted. SK quickly took out the pit and started on the fire. We crossed our fingers for the rain to stay away. It did, not only that, it became SUNNY!!!! Thank God. He is really watching over us. Anyways, here are the pics

I cooked a huge pot of curry chicken (it was a big hit as many of our friends "tapau" some back for dinner), salmon pasta for the kids (not enough seasoning, sometimes, I forget that they are already two, no longer babies that shouldn't take so much salt), mixed vegetables, and agar-agar. Bought food were delicious chinese roasted duck (all the way from Northampton, our friend helped us to transport them over), and 4 platters of sushi. We also took out the deep fryer and deep fried calamari rings, mushrooms, chicken dippers and onion rings. BBQ food were lamb, sausages, marinated chicken wings and so on.

We made use of the entire ground floor. Guest were free to roam from the hall to the play room, to the garden and also the kitchen/dining area. both patio doors from the kitchen and hall were open wide. This was only possible due to the weather change earlier (OMG I am so grateful!).

French Open Men's final was also on tele, so several men were glued to the screen for a while, my favourite Roger Federer won. Quoting my MIL, "A champion will always be a champion"

It was so lovely to see our friends enjoying themselves, mingling and the kids having a great time running around and simply being cutie pies. OK, here's the cake... Tobey loves Handy Manny and his set of talking tools.
Here's the cake cutting session in pics....

Most of Tobey's gifts were clothes, just as I wanted it to be as he already has toooooo many toys. SK's parents got him a top of the range juicer.Mommy and daddy STILL have not got the time to get him his gift yet...hahaha! Tobey missed his afternoon nap and ate very little lunch on that day. He was too busy playing with his friends and downing in fruit shoots.

Happy 2nd Birthday my darling baby :)
