saffie's birthday party post mortem.. :)

so... the end of saffie's birthday.. WELL.
Today didn't feel much like Saffie's birthday, mainly cos most of the celebration occurred yesterday instead. Today was just the opening of presents. Of course, usually (in my case at least) the "opening of presents" doesn't actually warrant a day/afternoon of its own. (there aren't usually enough presents to take up an entire afternoon...) However, in the case of the gorgeous (read: means very very very pretty... with background exclamation from the birthday girl,"i'm gorgeous right?") 3-year-old ("i'm number 3!") little girl ("i'm a princess bride! see? i'm wearing white."), she had a whole mountain of gifts. And here, i'm not exaggerating.. Not in the least bit. :p Evidence will be put up shortly to prove my honesty.

After the present opening was lunchtime!! What a treat having my mom up here... What a change from the last 3weeks... surviving on pricey restaurant food or homemade instant noodles. Lunch today was MAGNIFICENT. :) our very own feast of buah keluak. WOO HOO!!!! :) (yes.. HAHA.. drool you fools!! :p well... at least paul and andrea would.. :)..)

Then it was soccer time. You see, here in london, since the World Cup's begun, i've caught almost every match. I know haven't exactly been the soccer fanatic at home in Singapore but well... What can i say? Being here in england for the past three weeks, ive been subjected to all the pre-World Cup gearing.... :p practically every shop you look into has some reference to soccer.. All commercials are World Cup-related. It's really cool. It's infectious. :p
(Czech Republic rocked!!! :p)

Anyway, then it was mainly slacking.. but guess what?? We had my mom's curry for dinner... MUAHAHAHAHA... *evil grin* :p

Like i said, other than that, plus a nightcap (of cioccolata though, not alcohol.. ) at Carluccio's, saffie's birthday wasn't that much of an event. Yesterday however, was AMAZING. :)

Wish i had a birthday party like that.. Picture 14grownups and a 3-year-old sitting on 4picnic blankets in the middle of hyde park. :) We had a feast!!! Marks & Sparks... *swoon* i swear.. they should bring M&S Simply Food into Singapore... I'd be their top customer. :)
The birthday girl was dressed in a... (gaudy) pink princess dress, and she absolutely loved it. And i took it upon myself to make her a bridal bouquet.. of pink little flowers... GOD. it was soooooooo pretty.. and matched her dress so completely. :) she was so happy!! :) haha...

ooh!! Also, her birthday cake was a Barbiecake, meaning... the kind all little girls dream of getting, where a Barbie stands in the centre of a huge ballgown (aka cake) with royal icing for clothes!! :) she was absolutely delirious.. though.. that was probably the jetlag too.. :p she was behaving almost... drunk. hmm. maybe she takes after me a little too much. hahaha.. KIDDING. i don't behave drunk. ever. unless i am. but i've never been. so there.

ANYWAY, so.. her birthday celebration was a blast... i'd describe the individual components of the feast but.. i can't bear to... cos i'd start fantasizing about it all and i won't be able to sleep. :p maybe the photos can give you guys a glimpse of what the picnic entailed. When they DO get uploaded of course. :p

Alright then. off to bed. 2am here. ciao. or as saffie says,"Ciao bella!!" :)
