Birthday Party @ A Hotel...

Took boys to a birthday party that's held in a 5* Hotel yesterday afternoon.... The birthday boy's father is the GM of the hotel. When you hear it, you may think "waaaa..." but frankly, think it's quite troublesome. The party is actually quite small...about 16 kids, and held in a section of the coffee shop. The kids were getting a little restless after awhile, and kept on asking when they can swim in the pool. So, after all the birthday cake singing and candle-blowing, we adjourned to the pool which is at another level down. So, the staff had to MOVE all the food down to the pool area. Felt it was kinda kelam-kabut. The pool area is not that big, but not small either. It's much more difficult to supervise the children here than say, in a more confined home pool. Also, the host (birthday mom) was like sooooo busy instructing the staff most of the time that I was helping out with the games up in the coffee shop, and supervising the kids in the pool. Anyway, with the food being moved from coffee shop down to the pool deck, after the kids have the pasta and all, the ice-cream also all melted. The kids were like "eeeeew....ice-cream has melted", and I sort of told them to pretend that it's milkshake. But end up most of the kids didn't eat their melted ice-cream... Well, in short...having it in a house... although not as glam, may prove to be more practical....
