Ridhwan's makan2x at Nenek's house....

On 31st May, we decided to make a very small makan2x at Ridhwan's nenek house to celebrate Ridhwan's fourth birthday...Initially we wanted to do at my house as we did last year but then thinking of my aunt who had stroke and still has difficulty in walking, our house would be quite a challenge for her to go to the bathroom when nature calls ;) So, this year, Ridhwan's grandmother decided we do it at her house instead. However, sad to say, my aunt and grandmother could not attend...but its okay, at least my uncle and my brother's family was there...I sometimes ask myself, maybe I should make one big party for him like how I see many young parents these days are doing for their children..as much as I'd love to do it, I keep thinking, who's the one whose going to enjoy it most? Me? Eating away and chit chatting away...or Ridhwan? Who'd be looking around at the commotion and not having the opportunity to run around with other childrens and join in their fun or play...so after much thinking, 2 years ago, I decided, his birthday party in the big event will be when he actually walks..that would then be a celebration to celebrate his biggest achievement and at that time hopefully he will enjoy to eat and play with other children his age, younger or even older...so after much consideration, I will stick to this plan, where the 'big party' will be held when he walks, maybe next year kan? hehee..amin..so at that time, I will smile in glee and joy to see how he has achieve something that we have been working so hard all these years and for him, it is his time to shine and show the world, I did it and here I am...Insya-Allah....kita merancang, Allah jua yang Maha menentukan....wallahualam...

Anyway, a party is still a party despite now or future right? :D So, on sunday, early morning, Ridhwan wakes up by humming the birthday song to himself..how cute! And he kept saying out loud, "partyy..partyy.." Yup, he knows what is going on...hehee....and is definitely looking forward to his small party! ;) So, here are some pics to show the event, Ridhwan was a bit emotional when we started singing the birthday song...god knows why..maybe cause he knows, his party will end with his father going off to overseas and that saddens him I suppose...alah, sian anak mama rindu dah kat ayah yea? ...hehee..but we still sang the birthday song to our heart desire and he cried to his heart desire too...hahahaa...reminds me of the song "It's my party and I cry if I want to, cry if I want to...." ..but, he did enjoy them in the end as he got to open presents and played with his twin cousins...thank you Pak Long, Auntie Jah, and Long's family for coming....we really appreciate that you could make it....jazakillah khairon....

Enjoy the pics....

My last minute cake cause Bakers Cottage in Shah Alam couldn't make a children cake...the cake person apparently quit his job the day before I wanted to order!!..sigh...

But was compensated by my brother, he brought one cool cake instead! Yea! Thanks Long!
