It has been such an incredulously busy 3 weeks. My birthday came and went, the little fella’s birthday came and went..the DC conference came and went..my crazy 2 weeks at work came and went. And boy…am I glad! The last 3 weeks were just horrendously busy and I just felt like I was going at a breakneck speed without a chance to slow down. I sure am glad that now I have a little breather.

The little fella’s party was nice, I thought. A bit of planning beforehand but it had nice food, nice cake and nice deco. We catered from this place called Chilli Padi and it was nice, both in terms of food and set-up. At least it did not have the tacky red tablecloths or plastic flowers. All it had was a a nice batik tablecloth and nice pots for the soup and dessert. It was simple but tasteful. Food-wise, it had a decent spread both for the kids and adults alike.

Decor-wise, it was really simple. Just had a simple HB banner, a few balloon bouquets and all the other helium-filled balloons floating around. Kids had fun with it and so did some adults, tying little creatures to the end of the strings. The balloons are not bad..till today..a couple are still floating around at home. The little fella definitely had fun with them and even the next day, he was still talking about his balloons. I ordered some star ones as well as a huge Thomas the Tank Engine one. It was cute.

The birthday party heralded the start of a very busy 3 weeks for me. So after that, it was a series of conferences, meetings and rather late nights. Thank goodness for Iz in this period, he picked the little fella up almost daily. There was no way I could have managed otherwise.

With the busy period of planning behind me, it is now back to the daily grind with a platterful of work.Am just thinking now when our next holiday could possibly be..not in the next 3 mths for sure.
