Birthday Boyz

Today is the birthday of 2 Boys that we are acquainted with – my 大哥and Angus (he is the son of my very good sister – Cindy).

On Saturday, Cindy hosted a YoYo Birthday party for Angus at their home’s club house. Angus is a very lucky boy and each year for his birthday, there is always a special theme that coincided with his latest interest.

YoYo is supposing the latest craze in his school. Indeed when I saw all his classmates having their own yoyo’s, I admit it’s really a craze. Some of them even have a bag to hold the 7 – 10 yoyos that they owned.

The party was scheduled to start at 4pm with the arrival of his invited guests. Both Anthea & Anders were on the guest list. Both of them had a goody bag and Anthea’s goody bag as a brand new yoyo in it.

Then at 4.30pm, it was show time – there was a Yoyo performance by 2 yoyo masters from Spinworkx and their skills were truly amazing. The boys were all captivated by the performance. Even the few girls in the group were happily watching the yoyo show.

After the show, there was a mini workshop where the masters taught the children different way of playing the yoyo. After the workshop, there was a contest for the children and they enjoyed it very much. Both Anthe and Anders didn’t take in the contest but watched it from the sideline. The whole room was full of laughter.

Then after the yoyo performance, it was the cake cutting ceremony. Cindy ordered a very unusual birthday “cake” for Anugus. It was a R2D2 Agar Agar. What a coincidence, the same evening, the TV was showing Star War Saga.

Then the buffet dinner followed. The food was as usual – sumptuous. The parents started eating 1st while the children were still having fun at the playground. They came in as and when they were feeling hungry and have a quick bite at the buffet dinner..haha.

Both Anthea and Anders were having so much fun at the playground with Angus and his classmates/friends.

Finally around 8pm, we said good bye to the host and went home. As Star Wars episode 3 & 4 were showed that night, we had another late night and went to bed around 12.30pm.

It was a wonderful birthday celebration and we wish Angus a very Happy 8th Year Old Birthday!

On Sunday, originally I had arranged for lunch with my parents & 大哥 at one of the 肉骨茶 store in Yishun – this stall was recommended on 新成人杂志 programme. However, after some checking, I think I got the wrong place and so we change to another location suggested by my brother – Lavender Food Square.
(updated today – it should be 得运肉骨茶@ Blk 417 Yishun Ave 11)

No regrets as there were many different stalls of good food. We had different dishes and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

Then after lunch, we went to the City Square shopping mall to check out this 1st eco-friendly shopping mall. The mall has family parking lots and electric car lots…quite interesting.

We walked around the mall to check out the different stores. Metro & NTUC Fairprice were the anchored shops in the building. It is accessible via the Farrer Park Station.

Then we decided on dessert at Andersen Ice-cream. This was our small treat to my brother’s birthday. On this day we wish him a very Happy Birthday in the new decade, may he has good health & a prosperous year!!

Nothing beat birthday gatherings and family bonding time and we had double happiness on this weekend. It has been a very meangful weekend for us...
