Birthday Alia

I always wanted to organise a small sit-down lunch/dinner do. A western style (must be due to numerous AFC channel shows).
I've got a chance to showcase my desire today when Alia invited her friends over for her birthday. She is 14 today. Happy Birthday Alia, semoga menjadi muslimah sejati.........
Since the lunch for teenage girls, I decided to incorporate youthful theme. So I used a lot of colours and flowers. No, I did not splurge but I utilised whatever yang ada kat rumah.

For table mats I cut off gift wrapping papers into two and it looks nice, kan. I simply bought a hair band (pengikat rambut from Mydin, murah aje 90 sen each) and tie it with the napkins. And the girls got to keep the hairband. And for sitting arrangement, I simply printed out their names on a manilla cards and cut it, punched a hole on it and tied a ribbon. They can keep that too.....to be used as bookmark.
The table setting from a wider angle.
As there were nine person in the party, we have to set up a smaller table by the side.
The lunch started off with a bun and butter + a chicken mushroom soup.
Followed by the main course. A fusion of spaghetti bolognese and roasted chicken.
A cake cutting session. Alia requested for a tiramisu cake which I baked a day earlier. Her friends seems to like it soooo much.
Birthday girl, my Alia.

  4. Happy 14th Birthday, Alia :)

    Wishing you all the best in life, insya Allah.

    You should give your Mak a big hug and a big kiss!

    Azian,

    Ni sure selalu tengok Martha Stewart nih...Hehehe!

    That was one very special birthday do you gave Alia. I'm sure her friends were so impressed with everything. Not everyday that they could have a proper sitting down birthday lunch served like that - with love and care!

    Everything looks so yummy.

    The satisfaction felt after the party must have been a pretty "feel-good" feeling, kan?

    I always wished that I could bake birthday cakes for my children, tapi sampai la ni tak buat2. Rata nya icing kat cake tu..jealous I tengok.

    AFC is one of my favourite channels too...especially 'Sugar'. My likings has always leaned towards desert, tak tau kenapa. Lauk pauk tak berapa pulak...

    And b4 I forget - happy belated birthday to your beautiful Alia.

  9. Ila,
    Terima kasih kerana sudi bertandang. Maaf kerana lambat membalas kerana saya lepak kat kampung cuti ni.
    Btw, Alia cakap 'thank you' for the wishes.
