My birthday party (and the long-waited house warming) was all set to begin. The canopy with round table and chairs had been pretty well laid out. The balloons and party packs were in place too. All of this were rented, as we expected to receive at least 250 guests comprising D&M's school frens, colleagues, ex-colleagues, college frens, neighbors, ex-neighbours and old frens.

Katering Pak Ali was employed for the occasion. Quite a good offering on the table - dendeng beef, beriyani chicken, pajeri pineaple, dal, 2 kuehs (curry puff and seri muka), cendol and syrup. In addition, mommy prepared some cakes too. They all arrived as early as 11.15am. The package includes plates, fork&spoon, and catering trays. The invitation was about to start at 12 noon , we were all geared up for people to throng our place. We couldn't imgine how it would be because this was the first such event was being held here at our own turf.
