Arisya turns 8! ❤

Had a pool party at Civil Service Club @ Bukit Batok 3 days ago as an advance celebration for the lil babe who turns 8 this year. The celebration was held in advance as the grandparents & aunties are flying off to the United States. And a pool party it was coz the lil babe requested for it..."I want same as Abang"...she said. 

As usual, close family members were there to join in the celebration especially the sistaz of coz! ❤ Nothing much was prepared beforehand coz we had settled for BBQ! Haha! Just marinated the food and prepared some sandwiches. Oh yes, we ordered satay too just to satisfy the tummies! Lol! Thank you so much to all the family members who came and made it such a beautiful day for my lil babe. 

And today itself, Arisya Badriya officially turns 8! There will be another activity planned for the kidz tmrw. But today, being Arisya's birthday...Umi (ME!) decided to personally bake a birthday cake for my girl! 

First time ever baking a birthday cake! Had no idea how it was gonna turn out...but I guess it turned out well! Haha! Couldn't really run away from nutella & chocolate coz that's what the kidz love. And since I bake for them, of coz it has to be accustomed to their taste! 

Hence I made a moist chocolate cake for the centre and rainbow cuppies to be placed all around it! Haha! Then I made some pink frosting with orange flavor just for the lil babe. Well, pink is always associated with girls right? Hehe! 

As I was writing her name on the cake...she remarked "Umi, can you make a heart shape?" Hehehe...and tadaa! The heart shape on the cake just at the corner of her name! 

It took almost the whole day to bake the birthday cake! Haha! Nah...3 hrs to be exact! But it was worth it coz she ate 2 cuppies immeadiately after we finished singing the birthday song! Haha! In fact, she had one while I was still in the midst of making the cake! Had to stop her and tell her to be patient...hehe! And she said "Tmrw, I want to eat some more!" ❤

Happy birthday Arisya Badriya! ❤
