So the best way for her to have a memorable 6th birthday is to Party with her Friends. I took a day off and Adrian was on leave too. The Mac Fun party was scheduled to start in the afternoon. So in the morning, I managed to complete some tasks.
Task 1 – medical checkup. I used to do annual medical checkup when I was working with my previous company as the company subsidized such claims. Ever since I was retrenched in 2003, I stop doing so. After giving birth to Anders, I would still have review with my gynae in 2004. Then I stopped going for medical checkup. Recently I found out that there is a NTUC Medicare Family clinic in AMK Hub and they offered some screening package, so I decided to give it a try. Today, I did the advanced health screening, Blood test & Pap Smear. The result will be out in a week and I will return to the clinic for review.
Task 2 – couple times with Adrian. Since we had children, we hardly can manage couples times during weekends, so usually we will rendezvous on a weekday during our off day. After my medical checkup, we had lunch together at Botak Jones @AMK Ave 10. Adrian ordered the Ribeye steak and I had the Lamp with rosemary sauce. We shared a Caesar salad. It was an enjoyable and relaxing lunch. Adrian mentioned that we hardly had chance for a peaceful meal like this...hee : P
Task 3 – photographs developing. After a good lunch, I went to the HUB to run some errands. I managed to developed photographs stored in the SD Cards. It is always handy to have copies as the children childcare will at times request for family photos.
Task 4 – THE PARTY CELEBRATION!!
At 2.30 pm, I went by to the childcare to wait for the MacDonald party staff. Adrian went to collect the birthday cake. The party staff arrived around 2.45 pm to set up for the party.
It started with the Happy Meals – as it was the children snack time, so they started with the food. Each child had pre-selected their own choice of main/side and drink. So the party staff handled them their orders according to the list that was provided to them. The children had a good time eating their Happy Meals. Anders also joined in Anthea’s class for the meal.
After enjoying the food, they proceeded to the centre multipurpose room for the game session. The party staff started with a warm up game called the Action Game. When the staff shouted a certain actions, the children have to follow her action. It was quite fun to see the children following orders and some even got “lost” during the commands.
After the warm up session, they were divided into 2 teams. So the teacher told them to follow their usual RED / BLUE team in class.
The 1st game they played was Pass the Balloon Game. They had so much fun at this game and the whole room was full of their cheers “oh...we win…we win.”
The 2nd game played was the Pyramid game. Small cups were given to each team and they were supposed to build a tall pyramid with all the cups. Both teams put in so much effort in building the pyramid and Teamwork was the emphasis of this game.
The 3rd and last game played was the Fruits game. 2 children were given the same fruit name. And each time when a fruit name was called, they need to find an empty space to sit down. When someone shouted “fruit ball”, all must changed seats. It was really fun to see them played the game and enjoying themselves so much. Ms Loh also joined in the last game.
After the game session was completed, it was cake cutting ceremony. Anthea had requested a Sleeping Beauty Princess cake. So I ordered a 2 kg cake for her to share with her classmates and teachers.
Her classmates sang the English and Chinese version of the birthday song for her. She was very happy. After eating the cakes, it was time for her to give the happy meals toys to her classmates. Ms Loh made her present each toy to her classmate personally and they even had a handshake with each other. It was like an award ceremony. Each child had a Macdonald balloon too but Ms Loh said she will give them when they are going home.
It was a very well coordinated party and all the children had so much fun. Anthea was a very Happy Birthday girl and a Happy Host. I am glad we had this birthday celebration for her and I know she will remember it for a long, long time.

Happy Birthday to you, Anthea!
So fast, Anthea is already 6... going to Primary school soon...you must be excited, Astee!
Hi Jean,
Thanks for your greeting and yes, so fast, she is 6 already.
As for primary school, i have mixed feelings of excitment and worries - think i may need to start to look for PT job or even consider to become a SAHM when she starts, becos of after school care.
anyway, after July/August this year, i will make a decision.
cheers,
astee
