A GLEEful Workshop

Yeap, you saw it right. I've just attended a GLEE workshop. :) It's actually one of our latest addition of experiences in the RedRibbon Days family and I had the chance to go try it out. So I'm now officially a Gleek!

What really drew me to contact this performing arts school in the first place was not only the fact that it's a GLEE themed musical workshop, but also the fact that they get facilitators from the West End to run it! Isn't that awesome?! It's freakin West End! :D

When you were much younger, do you remember the things you aspire to do?

When we were kids, we will always say, "I wanna be a doctor! I wanna be a lawyer! I even had a silly cousin who said "I wanna be a garbage collector!" And he seemed pretty serious about it mind you. Hahaha. Well, I've always had many ambitions, and one of it was definitely to be a Broadway/West End star. Don't laugh laaah. :/

Although that ambition has changed now, I can't deny the fact that I still love the theatre, singing, music and well, the arts. Hence the reason why I am usually one of the few amongst friends who are willing to spend that extra cash on watching musicals, orchestras and even just being a part of a choir (yes, I am in a choir), for 6 years now.

I have to admit, I was feeling a bit iffy about attending this 6-days-workshop at first because it is mainly targeted for kids below 18. My worried mind had me picturing myself standing tallest and looking so sesat amongst little girls and boys. Or worse, the only one with a fully grown body and boobs! Oklah, boobs not that big but that's not the point! Anyways, but I thought, oh well, what the heck, life's too short, and just like the saying goes on my RRD T-shirt, "Life is a sum of experiences", and keeping that in mind, I decided to just go for it.

On the first day, I don't really know why but I had butterflies when I first entered the school. Maybe because I guess I didn't know what to really expect. As I walked to the entrance, all sorts of paranoid questions flooded my brain , "Will I enjoy it? Will this be a waste of my entire week? It's 6 days you know? Will I be the only 23 year old schmuck there amongst 8 years olds?". Will I, schmill I.

After being very warmly welcomed at the registration counter and meeting lovely Shanthini for the first time (the PIC whom I've been dealing with prior to this), I went straight up to the dance room where the workshop begins!

Before anything else lemme just explain a little bit on how the workshop works. All students will be divided into 3 groups - Juniors, Seniors A and Seniors B. This is basically divided by age, so I was in Seniors B.The facilitators for the Senior groups were Grace who will be handling dancing and Nish for singing.

Grace, Sue, me and Nish

Grace is the one from West End. And I was really so excited to meet her because she has been involved in one of the biggest musicals of all times, Cats and many others too like Oliver and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! I have to say, I really salute them, for their patience and their passion, because handling a bunch of children and making them learn and remember steps and lyrics to 4 performances really. isn't. easy. at. all! 4 performances in 3 days! That's insane! And you know how kids are, they're always either are just too playful, plain blur, hard to control or just have a very short attention span! But that's what makes them so cute! Lol.

Lil Kash whom I like to call bookworm. He's always so blur but he is definitely one of the cutest lil boys I've seen! I'm gonna miss this cutie pie!

Grace working her magic on the kids

You must be thinking, "Why only 3 days? Isn't this a 6 days workshop?" Well let me break it down for you.

Monday - Wednesday: Learn all the steps and songs

Thursday (Clean Up Day): Just to 'clean up' whatever parts of the performances that are still unsure or not very good. Sound check & 1st run

through on the stage.
Friday: Full Dress Rehearsals!

Saturday: PERFORMANCE

And you would think, that a workshop for kids will be easy for us adults. Here I thought, "Aiyaaahh... dance steps for kids, kacaang puteh laaaah...". Hehehe. Boy, was I wrong! Half the time through steps I'm be squeezing my brain juice dry on what step is next. In fact, some of the younger ones seem to remember the steps much faster than me! Malu sial~

And speaking of younger ones, you must be wondering whether my worst fear came true? Well, the answer is yes and no. Yes, I was the oldest there and no, because it was alright. :) There were 2 others who were 20 and the rest in their teens and tweens. And they are all lovely girls.

See? I kinda blended in pretty well right? Hehe.

Oh and I haven't told you what were the Glee numbers that we did, did I? Ok here goes, we did:
1) Lean On Me (singing number)

2) Vogue (dance number)

3) Bad Romance (singing & dance number): No pic yet sorry!

4) Jump (finale: singing & dance number)

All of us in pyjamas! This was fun! :)

I was glad that they had Lean On Me and Jump, because they were one of my favourites from Glee. When I heard that we were doing Bad Romance, immediately I thought, "Oh no... Gaga!" And immediately, my worried mind came up with another picture. A picture of my bosses and colleagues giggling non stop when they see me attempting to do Gaga! And you know how Gaga is, she is all pyscho, deranged and saucy at the same time. And that's so not Theing! Nooooooooooooo!

Haih, I guess situations like this had to come one way or another don't it? Being in theatre is precisely not about being you, it's about getting into a character! Every single tiny detail, from how you hold the fan or how you walk, it all matters. This definitely wasn't easy, so Grace really drilled us a lot on this aspect.

Although the entire workshop did not really focus much on technics as I had hope, but nonetheless, they focused on another very important value not only in theatre but everywhere else,- confidence. Being in a group with self-conscious girls all in their teens, you have to agree that confidence and self-esteem does play a huge role. Being a leader in a choir, and also a person who deals with confidence issues myself, I totally understand how it feels like for both sides of the party. I understand how frustrating it is sometimes to be the 'facilitator' that tries to bring people out of that shell. And on the other hand, I understand how it is actually so difficult to break out of that shell and not worry about what other people might think of you too. It is definitely not something that happens overnight, but it is certainly so important to instill this at a young age.

I can't say how glad I am to also see how much my Seniors B group have grown just in a span of a few days! From girls who just wouldn't even stand and hold a mic properly in singing, to women who 'gleeked out' like fashionistas in Vogue. Remembering the steps was also always one of the biggest problems, but on that day, everyone of us just gave our best and didn't have a problem in remembering the steps at all! :)

I'm so glad that I decided to go for this experience and in fact, didn't have an ounce of regret at all. I'm glad of not only of the things I've learnt and observe throughout this experience but also of the new friendships I've formed as well.

After experiencing this myself, I can confidently say that if I have kids, I will surely take them for summer workshops such as these because I can't describe how much more priceless things they will gain from this rather than just bumming and playing video games at home.

So I really would like to take the opportunity to thank Kim, Shanthini and RedRibbon Days for this wonderful experience! I will never forget this. :)

In my next post, I'm gonna post more pictures and yes, videos too of the performance. So please be kind and not laugh pretty please?

Well, till my next post then! Cheers Gleeks! :)

It's July

Already?

I can't believe half an entire year has gone! Kapooosh! And oh boy I can't believe my last post was more than 2 months ago! Felt like only yesterday I last wrote a post. Sorry guys! :(

I hate it when time flies so fast. Don't you? It's always stuff like this that always make me just pause and rethink my life a lil. And somehow whenever I do, I never get very satisfied, it's like whatever I've done or accomplished is never enough.

Speaking about accomplishment, I remember at the beginning of this year, I've set myself a number of new year's resolution and I remember very clearly telling myself that twenty ten will be THE YEAR that I will accomplish all of them! Dengan penuh semangat some more!

I'm not gonna reveal all my resolutions here (hehe, malu lah!), but I can say that, I've steered myself in the right direction but unfortunately, still miles and miles away from achieving them. :(

What have you been doing Theing? It's not like the resolutions I've set are super impossible to achieve, it all just takes discipline and more dedication. And 'having a too busy schedule' just isn't enough of a reason anymore. (will be posting about what I've been so busy about, soon)

Well, thankfully, it's not end of the year yet, though I'm sure it will be very soon. So it's time to come face to face with the rest of 2010 and just chargeeee! CHARGEEE I TELL YAH! No hesitations, no doubts, no procrastinations and most of all, not a present moment to lose!

Before I leave, here's a few words of encouragement written by Daisaku Ikeda, which never fails to inspire and help me at all times. Thought I'd just share it. :)

"It's not important how you compare to others, but how you compare to who you were yesterday. If you see that you've advanced even one step, then you've achieved a victory."

Have an awesome weekend everyone!

Not Just Another Day

12th of April could have been just another day. But, it wasn't to me, to us RedRibboners, and certainly wasn't just any other day to our client.

Many companies in various kinds of field usually deal with people on projects or events that matter to them, professionally, but in our line of work, we always deal with our clients on things that matter to them, personally. Apart from gifts, we organize anything from birthdays, naughty hen nights to special surprises and even wedding proposals. So instead of big corporate events, we deal with events of the heart.

So on April 12, we had to do a specially customized gift delivery. Our client, Ben (not his real name), wanted us to deliver our gift box to his special someone along with 24 helium balloons and a card. You see, Ben is overseas, but he really wanted to surprise that special someone of his and give her a birthday gift she will never forget, even with him miles away. And this sweet guy had already been planning this since (if I'm not mistaken) early January this year.

The plan was to call her up and tell her we were Ben's friend who wanted to pass something to her from Ben at her office. Then when she comes down, she will be surprised by 2 ladies in red (Nik & I) carrying 24 red helium balloons, a card and gift for her.

24 balloons were meant to represent each year of her life, and he wanted her to make a wish and then, release the balloons in the air. As if each balloon were to carry her wish and message to the heavens. I know, I know, some of you maybe rolling your eyes, thinking it may sound kinda corny or cheesy, but hey, if you were in her shoes, and you just received a special gift from someone you care and love who is miles away and can't be there to celebrate this special day with you, I'm sure "corny" or "cheesy-ness" will be the last thing you would be thinking about at that moment.

The recipient, Janice (not her real name), was also just the sweetest thing. She really didn't suspect or expect anything at all and really thought she was just receiving a little something from the supposed "Ben's friend". Hehe. Good one Nik! She was the supposed "Ben's friend" by the way. :)

I wish I can show you Janice's expressions because it was just such a delight to see. Her look of surprise and shy-ness when she was reading through Ben's message in the card. And how she was also pleasantly surprised at the Pilot of a Day gift which was inside the gift box. And how she was just staring blissfully at the balloons flying up and disappearing in the skies, which I managed to take a video of. Hehe. It really was a beautiful thing releasing those balloons, despite the super strong wind at that time. Haha.

After months of tedious planning, jumping from idea to idea of presenting the delivery in a special way, testing out the initial ideas (remember Nik, Shiva? :P), countless email communication between Ben and RRD, pumping up 24 fat helium balloons and stuffing them in 2 cars; I believe all the effort was finally paid off because what really matters in the end, was them. And I could tell Janice was really so happy that evening till she even wanted a group hug and take pictures with us! :D And we are so glad that Ben was satisfied with our service too! You can read about his heartfelt story and feedback to us below.

Dear Nik,

I've received a call from Janice herself. Thank you and the RR crew for making this come true.
Well... After so much you guys have done, I couldn't say "No" to at least share the moment of joy that you've brought for the both of us.

The truth is...

Being 3000km away from home, it is not the easiest of task to keep in touch.
The distance was restricting me from expressing my feelings, limiting one's way of love ...
The distance, the career path I've chosen, the separate responsibility we each burden ourselves with, and the separation...makes life this moment... really heavy.

12th of April, the official birthday of the story of my life. It was this memorable day that
the complication begin, where happy memories sprouts...
I wouldn't miss it for the world. But career dictates that I were to remain put in a land very distant from hers.

This is not an advertisement... but words of the heart... that I am truly grateful for RedRibbon Days. I'm simply grateful because they were there. Weeks of correspondence, planning and brainstorming, made her felt my very presence and a birthday that would go into her story-to-tell-my-kids in the future.

Through the video RR has provided me, it allows me to share the moment, only at a different place of a different time. A digital documentation of her every expression, her every gesture and her every words... It's not difficult to tell how she was moved by all our efforts... a call came immediately after the surprise.

It was a complicated feeling. Feeling the sorrow from the distance ... and the sheer joy from the elaborated surprise... She was particular interested in our planning process though. The long trail of correspondence I had with Nik from RR, the well devised plan on how to trick the recipient to receive the gifts without causing too much commotion. Nik was particularly patient with me... and helpful in every way.

Due to my heavy workload... I could stay long on the phone with her...
She then text me... to express a magnitude of joy and gratefulness... and to tell me that she misses me...It was bittersweet.

The truth is...I miss her too.

Thank you Nik and RR... for bringing a part of me to her... and delivering a part of her... to me.

..........


We made 2 people really happy that day. It's really not the kind of feeling anybody can give or I can describe even. But all I can say is, I felt genuinely happy for Ben and Janice that day. I too have had my share of going through a long distance relationship and I know, that LDRs are anything but easy.

I'm so glad that I can be part of bringing these 2 a lil closer maybe, despite the distance. And I'm so glad that my job involves bringing joy and expressions of love to other people's lives. Gifts really are powerful aren't they?

So believe me when I say, April 12, 2010 truly wasn't just another day, it was what we call as, a RedRibbon Day.

Crusin' in the Air

About 2 months ago, Shiva and I had the chance to go on a 4 seater plane ride. A client was supposed to try out the Pilot for a Day experience on a 2 seater plane but because they only have a 4 seater plane available, our kind supplier said we could tag along to try out the experience of riding a 4 seater plane. I can still remember clearly when Nik asked if Shiva and I wanted to go for the ride, I was so happy! Hehe. :D

After chilling at Starbucks at the Subang Airport, the friendly Captain came and greeted us. So after everyone was ready (including the client who was suppose to go for the piloting experience), the captain took us to the hangar area where all the other planes are. As this was my first time to ever get to experience such a thing or to even come remotely close to this side of the Subang airport, I had my trusty camera all ready hung around my neck. Like a jakun, me and Shiva, were like "Waaaaaa, look at that plane wei!", "Fuyohhh..." or "Damn cooool laaah!" with our mouths open all the way. Hahaha. Or okay, maybe it's only me mostly. Hehe. :P




Then, we finally saw her. Isn't she beautiful?


This is the 4 seater plane we were gonna be riding. It's nothing really new or fancy or anything, in fact, everything about it from the outlook to the interiors were really old skool, but I loved it! I absolutely love anything that's old skool I don't know why. Haha. Here are a couple of pictures of the interior.




Before the flying begins, the Captain would usually take the client through a pre-flight briefing session for him/her to learn some basic pre-flight inspection of the aircraft. I was actually kinda looking forward to learning some new things about planes that day, but unfortunately the client wanted to skip that part because he already went through the briefings before. But no matter, I was busy exploring the insides of the plane and taking pictures here and there anyways. Hah! But the Captain did give us a brief explanation about some of the routes we might be taking. Whether or not we will be taking the route towards Port Klang, or towards Damansara...etc.


When he mentioned Port Klang, immediately I thought of what my dad said, "Bee ah, make sure when you're up there, you try to look for our house and take picture let me see ah!" Heheh. And when Captain mentioned Damansara, immediately I thought of searching for our RRD office as well. :D

Anyways, it was finally time to get on board and fly! The interior of the plane is really small but JUST right for 4 people to fit in cozily. After settling our butts onto the seats, we buckled up!


And wore the keeewl headphones! Kekeke. Just like Nik during her Pilot for a Day experience, I too was amused with the voices coming from the control tower after putting on the headphones. Although I seriously have no idea what the hell were these voices at my ears were saying, it felt 'kool' anyway, to be wearing real headphones from a plane! Heheheheh

the point where we were leaving the ground

After the take off (which was such a breeze, I didn't even realize we already left the ground), and while up in the air, I stuck my nose onto the window like a kid seeing the world for the first time. It's really a pretty amazing feeling when you're up there looking down with a clear bird's eye view of everything! It's a different feeling than looking down from a commercial plane because with a commercial plane, you will never get to fly this low.


I'm gonna let you take a wild guess on which route we took. Was it the Damansara route? Or the Klang route? *chuckles*. Sorry couldn't help it! Recognize that short but long blue building with the white rooftop there on the picture above? Guess what building it is! Guess! Guess! :D


The part where it was most exciting (and okay I admit, a lil scared for my life) throughout this ride was during the time the client was having control over the wheel. It really did look like fun (and scary at the same time) especially every time the Captain asks him to do turnings, flying up higher/lower or maintaining control of the plane when strong wind comes...etc. I have to say, I think the client did pretty well, he seems to be calm throughout the time. If it was me, sure heart pounding like 'siao' most of the time wan. ANYWAYS, I bet it must have felt awesome to be able to sit right beside the Captain of the plane, where all controls & zillions of buttons lay right there before him, and of course having the chance to actually fly the plane - Just like an actual pilot!


Now I've experienced being a passenger in a 4 seater plane while another person is trying out the Pilot for a Day experience. And I have to say, as an observer, I can already tell that having a go at flying a plane is really something. It's really not something you get to do everyday and it's definitely one experience you will take with you for the rest of your life. Heck, you can tell people "I flew a plane before". ;) So can you imagine being able to give this as a gift to your loved one? Being able to give them something they are able to cherish forever and maybe even, fulfill one's dream?

I definitely don't mind going for another cruise up in the air again, but this time with ME having a go behind the wheel. Hehe.


Definitely a Saturday afternoon well spent! Thanks Captain and RedRibbon Days. :)

A trip to the Clinic

I went to the clinic just the other day.

Why? Because I had a frigging fish bone stuck in my throat. Not just any fish bone. A measely ikan bilis bone. And that's just assuming that it is, because I ate Nasi Lemak. Unless it's might be something else, but let's not go into that shall we? haha. So let's just assume that it was a stupid ikan bilis fish bone then.

What's so annoying about this situation is that it was just a tiny bone and it got stuck on like (okay how do i explain this) the lower soft palate thingy part of my mouth? Like the end of my mouth? Hahaha. And the stupidest part is that I could SEE it!! Gah!! But I can't seem to get it out! It literally looked like one of those stubborn splinters that gets stuck onto the skin. Haha, I'm disgusting I know. :P

This happened after I ate lunch in the office you see, and after Project Extracting Ikan Bilis Bone 1 in the toilet did not work, I went on to Project 2. This time, trying to swallow a huge portion of what's left of my cold Nasi Lemak rice with hopes the rice will push the bone down. eeww.. FAILED. Project 3; gulping down what's left of CNY's pineapple tarts also with hopes the tart will push the bone down. FAILED AGAIN

Gah! So after having to tahan that piece of !@#$% in my mouth half the day in the office, I decided I will use my toothbrush once I reach home. And yes, I tried it and still..... -____- FAIL. I almost wanted to ask my sister to use a tweezer to get it out. hahahaha! Then I had this horrid scenario flashed through my head. I was afraid that while my sister is trying to get it out, somebody might just come in and give both of us a fright, and thus causing my sister to accidentally tweeze my Uvula (I think that's what it's called) or worse, causing me to choke on the tweezer. Ish.. What a nasty sight!

So anyways, my dad made me to go to the clinic to get it out. And so I did... When I was there, there was this Chinese old lady with another Indian guy who was ahead of me. They were in the midst of telling the medicine aunty at the registration counter the reason for the doctor's visit. It turns out that this poor old lady was all alone in her house doing her house chores and she fell. Her head was bleeding and swollen very badly. She looked so frail and my heart just sank when I saw her. Thank goodness her neighbour, the Indian guy was there to take her to the clinic.

After they were done, it was my turn.

Medicine Aunty: Next. Yes? How are you feeling?

Me: Erm.. I have a fish bone stuck at the back of my mouth.

.....

Hahaha. Lucky the medicine aunty didn't give me a -_____-" face, especially right after the case of the old lady who fell.

So yeah, talk about the fastest doctor's visit in my life! When I went in and told him about my situation, he just told me to say "Aaahhh....." and stuck a huge ice cream stick on my tongue, grab a long tweezer and took it out. All in about 10 seconds. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! But the bill? Freakin RM30!!!

!@#$%^&*@#$% gaaaaah!



Oh well.

Till next time folks!

My Roaring Twenty Ten

Family Paper Cutting!

Me & My Stupeed Sisters during CNY Eve

Chinese New Year celebrations have always been a very important time for me. When I was way younger, CNY will always be the one thing I look forward to the most throughout the year! Playing firecrackers, gambling with 10 - 20 cent coins (seems like a lot back then), playing "catching" with my cousins (hehe!) and of course who can forget, the Ang Paos? :D Those were just few of the many things I absolutely love about CNY.


As I grew older, my love for CNY started to evolve. There was a point where it was all JUST about getting Ang Paos, gambling & more gambling (of course the betting money went up lah), showing off new clothes, and going house to house with a whole classroom of friends. This was also a point where my CNY spirit was just bleh.

But, I've passed that phaze and thankfully I have my pumping CNY spirit back. I'm sure I've always known this but, I don't know why, it just hit me harder this year that CNY is so much deeper than all that. This time, it's really the reunion get togethers with family and relatives that I truly love. Of course in the past, there were always the reunion dinners but I guess it never truly hit me just how important these moments are. The only few moments throughout the year where everyone from my dad's side can take the time to be together.

Lo ah!

FYI, my family from my dad's side is pretty huge. Imagine my dad having 8 brothers and 3 sisters, all of which are married with kids; some of which whom kids already have their own kids too. So i just did a really ugly family tree and counted everyone in the Ng family tree (this includes spouses too).

Ng Family Tree (not in order though)

All together the Ng's consists of 27 uncles & aunties, 34 cousins and 7 nieces & nephews. So in total, there are 68 of us. I hope I got that right, or is there more? hehe.

Many of them are in Singapore, some in Port Dickson & Perth, some are just a bit more distant, but majority are in Klang. But yeah, CNY and weddings are the only times where everyone takes the time to get together.

I guess of all the years, I only gave this much thought this year because this is the first CNY celebrated without our dear grandma. Although ah ma has been bedridden for years already, her passing last year did make a difference this CNY to me. It really hit me hard that life is going on and on as we speak. Second after seconds. It never stops. There will come a day where these 27 uncles & aunties of mine won't be around anymore and I won't be able to spend my favourite time of the year the same way again.

I had a lot of fun this CNY, running around helping Mom out for our open house on the 1st day of CNY, playing with my little niece and nephews from Singapore, laughing my ass off with my obnoxious cousins, stuffing our faces non stop, singing karaoke with uncles & aunties and just catching up with other relatives and friends. I think it's great that I gave this a thought and that I'm "aware" of this. Somehow makes me feel more thankful for my life, and therefore, makes me able to enjoy these moments even more.

Mummy (Chef of the Day!)

I think one thing we all should take with us starting this tiger year is a bit of thankful-ness no matter what situation we are in right now. I can guarantee it will make a world of a difference.

Haha! I just like this shot of my mini robot. This is the 1st time I played Monopoly during CNY.

So I know I'm late but, I'm wishing all of you, whoever you are, Gong Xi Fa Cai! Xin Xiang Xi Cheng! May you have a roaring new year filled with memorable experiences, great health, wealth and an abundance of good fortune!

Happy Tiger Year beautiful people!

My 1st RedRibbon Days Event

Sherin & Me.

As I am a newbie in the company, my bosses asked me to attend a coming event organized by RedRibbon Days (yes, RRD does events as well) to help assist in whatever way I can and basically to be more exposed to how organizing and managing events are done. And guess what event it was?

It was a Transformers themed birthday party for a 9 year old boy. :D

Not knowing how the party was suppose to go or how it was suppose to be decorated when I arrived, I just jumped on board and tried to help out as much as I can. Held in a pretty restaurant called Vicenzio in Bangsar; the entire top floor was booked for the party. When I arrived in the morning, although the decorations were far from done at that time, I could already tell that this was going to be a really cool transformers party by just looking at all the decorations around still waiting to be placed up. I could see Transformers themed napkins, balloons, little banner thingies, posters, Autobot masks, table covers...etc. In case you're wondering where can we get these decorations here in Malaysia, well, I don't know about that because some of the decorations are from the US. *kewl...*

Buffet & dining area of the party.

Kids parties these days aren't like it used to be anymore. Back then, birthdays are all held in the house where our moms will usually be the ones that cook. Menu? Haha, I can't remember exactly, but there will always be the standard 3 dishes; Fried Rice, Fried Bi Hun and Curry Chicken. Right? Right? Hahaha.

Now? For this birthday event, I don't know the names exactly but there were some really awesome italian spaghetti, fresh prawns, chicken...etc. Bottomline was, let's just say the moment I saw the waiters bringing the food out, my shameless tummy immediately responded to it. Haha. And what's more? Apart from just having Transformers decorations, an awesome buffet line up and dining areas, there are also areas specially for Face Painting, Cookie Decorating and even a Movie area, playing what else, but the latest movie of Transformers.

Cookie Decorating! Cute right?

After all the birthday banners are up, balloons arranged, napkins folded nicely into the cups, movie projector all set, face painting lady and cookie decoration section all ready, the guest started arriving and that's where we have to be up on our toes in ensuring everything to run smoothly.

Me having a chat with birthday boy's grandpa.

One of the best parts of this event for me, are the kids. :D Although I'm not particularly gifted with kids, I do love observing them. Cracks me up every time when kids are just so easily amused. From how they get all excited during a thrilling scene when watching Transformers, their cute attire or even when they were dancing goofy-ly during the fun & games session. I just love that innocent glow kids have in their eyes.

Speaking of the fun & games session, this was actually the most entertaining part of the whole event. Led by a 'Children's Entertainer guy', the kids had to come up and dance with different masks and songs. What was also really hilarious is the fact that they were dancing to music that normally play in clubs such as Low by Flo Rida and Black Eye Pea's Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night" and so many more! Haha! What happened to music from Barney and Friends? Or harmless music like Sha La La La La? Hahaha.

Face Painting

All in all, it was a great party for everyone. I believe if I was one of the kids, I would have enjoyed it through and through. From watching parts of Transformers while eating pizza (before the real food arrives), sharing laughter and fun with fellow friends, getting your face painted, right down to getting door gifts at the end of the party; Won't you have an awesome time as well?

.....

Mmmm, if I was 9 and plan to have a themed birthday party just like that, I wonder what theme will I choose?


Nyehehehe. :)
