Red Hunt!!

Something different happened this year- the Annual Dinner (cum Townhall and Away Day) was held in Penang!

Themed the 'Red Hunt'- it was a logistical nightmare for HR but it was such a fun and grand affair! We really know how to throw a PARTY! There was a DJ and we took over the beach with cool light boxes cum tables and bean bags. 

There was also a treasure hunt through the streets of Penang- which was great fun; and we won first prize! Yay!!

I got to stay at the Parkroyal hotel, which was quite nice. Hope to be able to bring the family here some day!

Dinosaur party!

The little boy is crazy about dinosaurs; so a dinosaur-themed party seemed appropriate to celebrate his 6th birthday!

It was a lot of work planning for the party; but it was a lot of fun as well. Thank God for the internet- which makes we wonder how we got anything done in the past! It's amazing how creative some people are. I especially liked the cute names for the food- like Dino Eggs, Dino-mite Sticks and Dino Bones!

One cool idea I found on the internet was this- freezing little plastic dinosaurs in water-filled balloons, and getting the kids to 'excavate' the dinosaurs by melting or hacking away at the ice. We used little tools like plastic screws and hammers (from their toy toolbox) and used plastic scoops and syringes to take in water to melt the ice. Overall it was a messy affair, but it was pretty entertaining to watch. I think the parents might have had more fun that the kids! Haha!

Happy 6th birthday, my darling!
