Saturday 16th Feb 08 was the official celebration for Sofea's first birthday celebration. This was not an open invitation so i apologize to everyone who was not invited as my fortress of solitude cannot accomodate everyone. Only family members plus one or two was invited. Maybe next time if we move to a bigger house.
The preparation began as early as the day before where the "kemas rumah event" took place. On Saturday morning the, first thing i did was to Cuci ( clean ) the toilet as that is another major attraction to the party. After cleaning the house, me, wifey & sofea head straight to Ampang Point to pick up the ice cream cake that was book by wifey the day before. She said the price was RM80 and it could feed more then 10 people. Hmmm, ok i guess. Not that expensive. But by the time we reached there, it was a totally different story. The so called cake was tiny and in my honest opinion could only feed around 5-6 people as the estimated crown was around 15. After a few rounds with wifey, finally she decided to go ahead with the Baskin Robins ice cream cake. The price, RM 130 not including tax. Waaaahhh!!!!. In the words of papa, "Orang gila je yang beli kek ni". So i guess we won't be having that kind of cake anymore for a very long long time.

Where's my cake?
Dad: Cake Sofea ni orang gila je beli Sofea: Haaa... ??? Orang gila tu ape?
After finishing up with the cake business, straight we headed for Taman Melawati to try and find the mysterious Nasi Tomato that was usually served on Nadia & Aiman's birthday. Unfortunate for us as the exact location of the Nasi Tomato is still unlocatable. So the next plan was to change to Nasi Beriyani from Syed Restaurant. Thanks to Shana for buying the Sate Samuri for us or it will cause us some more time.
Reached home and after having lunch, made the final preparation. Wifey cooked her pasta. I set up the table, pour on the rice, sate, preparing the Sirap Soda and everything. All was in tip top condition and the first knock on the door was at 5.05pm. It was our neighbour next door. Unfortunately, the star of the day was still not ready. She was only wearing her dypers as she was going to have her bath. So our neigbour decided to come later and that was good for me as i too was not ready. Luckily my mother in law came early and could entertain Sofea while we were getting ready. Finally, everything was ready by around 5.30pm. The crowds started with the arrival of wifey's siblingns, and then continued with Jie & Zekri, Mama & Papa and finally around 6.15 the arrival of Nadia & the gang. With the arrival of everyone, we could start the party.
The party started with singing Happy Birthday to Sofea. Because she couldn't blow the candle, her mommy did it for her. Yeahh, we have an eyewitness who is willing to testify. Hehehe ( Aiman, bukan nama sebenar). Because the cake is damn expensive, a lot of people started with the cake. In a few minutes time the cake was already cut off into half. Hmmm, this is what they call demand > supply. So, the party continued with everyone enjoying their meal.
At around 7pm the presents were open. Sofea had little help from her small friends to open the presents. So these are the summary of presents.
- Atok - RM 1000 cash (thanks papa. I love you. Your'e my friend 4 eva)
- Nan - Mattress ( cool bubble type mattress)
- Auntie Suzy, Uncle Achid, Nadia & Aiman - Bruin toys ( a combo of piano type toy and block - block)
- Aunti Jie & Uncle Zekri - Bruin toy & Croc sandels ( Music type toy & very expensive shoes. Thank u very much)

After Sofea had her bath and went to sleep, it's time for us to clean up the mess. The final dish was finished around 1230am and then we lied down flat to the ground. It was a tiring & hectic day for all 3 of us but the end result was worth it. All i can say is we are just lucky for now as birthday celebration only comes once a year, that is until we have another baby in the near future. Insyaallah.
Thanks to everyone who came and for the presents.
