When S2 brought back the invitation card for a FASHION Birthday Party, and said "Fashion is for GIRLS! I don't want to go".... I was quick to say "Noooooooo....we will go!!!". It was definitely a first for me!!! Sorry lah...very sann-par (country bumpkin).
Some of my friends decided not to go as they didn't want their "normal" kids to demand for such birthday parties, i.e. to be held in grand ballrooms and such. I summore confidently told my friends "Aiya...our kids won't ask for such parties one lah..." As it is, after the party, S2 did say that he wants to have a party in a hotel. HeeeHeee More about that later.
Happily, I trot off with S2 to the party with my camera in hand. When I whipped my camera out, I found that I've forgotten the memory card. ALAMAK!! So have to use my camera phone.
As usual, there was a reception table at the entrance to the ballroom for guest sign-in. As ALL birthday gifts are to be donated to the orphanage, guests could purchase milk powder and stationary to be given as donation. I didn't bring a gift, so bought some items to be donated.
Each kid were given some vouchers... for Photo, Make-Over and Glitter Tattoo. S2 and I posed for the photo which came out as the "Cover of Elle Magazine". Quite nice. Of course S2 didnt use the make-over voucher. He did get a "dagger tattoo".
And models wannabes can register to take part in the Modelling Contest, and will be given a number.
There were also games for the kids to play, and they would get tokens that can be exchanged for prizes.
The highlight of the Party was the Modelling Contest and a Fashion Show. The Fashion Show showcased designs by the 8-year old birthday girl. Yup! You heard me right. She designed some clothes that were then tailored and modelled by some selected kids.
Food-wise...there were loads. There were local delicacies, teppanyaki, pasta station, kiddie section, ice-cream section, dessert section and a chocolate fountain too.

On our way home after the party...
S2: My party... I'm going to have fashion show for the girls and then for the boys blah blah blah..
Me: And where are you going to have it?
S2: In the hotel lah..
Me: Do you see a machine in the Office upstairs that goes ka-ching, ka-ching and money comes out from it?
S2: Errr...No. But I have ALLOWANCE!
Me: Your allowance of USD 1 a week? One year is 52 weeks, which gives you USD 52/-. I don't think that is going to be able to rent the ballroom. Errr...in fact, I don't think that we can rent a table in the hotel.
S2: Yeah. Yeah... I know. We are different. We are the same but we are different. They are richer...blah blah blah...
Then we went on talking about CHESS. He got a chess set from the party.
Me: I don't know how to play chess.
S2: Why? Because chess is a men's game?
Me: Not exactly a men's game. But I think men are more interested in Chess than women are.
S2: WOMEN are just interested in...SHOPPING! ...And going to the malls...... And drinking coffee!
Hahahahah... That does sound like us WOMEN, yeah??
