Two weeks before papa departed to Italy which was on 20th September 08, we had a small advance celebration of Amirah's 1st birthday at home. Just about 10 of us. mama ordered a very lovely cupcakes from http://cupcakesbydatinmaryzain.blogspot.com/. From the research on the cupcakes design that mama did, mama finally came out with a sample arrangement and asked favor from Inn, the owner of the website to prepare about 36 cute cupcakes for amirah with green and pink color themes. when mama brought the cupcakes home, amirah could not wait to grab the cupcakes. after we sang the birthday song for her, she quickly grabbed the one with the duckling on top of the cupcake. She took the whole duckling and put into her mouth. aiya... so funny laa my daughter... comot comot muka makan kek ...since the duckling was made of the foundant sugar, it was sweet and chewy and later, amirah cried as she was having difficulties with the duckling in her mouth. We managed to take out the poor duckling out.
Since papa will depart on the 29th September, the family decided to have an advance celebration of Amirah's 1st birthday, together with doa selamat on 27th September (Saturday). Since it was a short notice, mama was really excited to get the best cake for amirah's celebration. We firmly decided to have the celebration on the 20th September, which exactly one week before the actual date. With the limited time and raya is coming, mama just gambled and prayed that the cake that mama wanted for amirah was still available.
On Monday, mama quickly called the person in charge from http://superbnoveltycakes.blogspot.com/. they had a superb 3D cakes available and the cakes looked so adorable especially for kids. luckily they still got a slot in for Amirah's birthday cake. Mama quickly confirmed the order and made the deposit for the cake to avoid any cancellation. Mama picked up the cake on Friday and seriously, mama was really happy that the cake turned out to be as mama expected and exactly like the one inside their website. The cake had a baby dressed like a bee sitting on top of it with number one on top of the cake. I bet the kids would really love the cake and would want to eat the cake. It turned out that the kids could not keep their eyes away from the cake and asking whether they can eat the baby!
On that day, we decorated the house a bit. Papa helped with the baloons and the goodies for the kids while looking after Amirah. mama was busy in the kitchen. We cooked authentic Negeri Sembilan food of masak lemak ikan salai, sambal tumis udang, ayam goreng (for kids), mixed vege and sambal belacan. Many relatives and neighbours turned up and enjoyed the food very much that nothing left for mama to eat except for the masak lemak and rice. hehe. After the buka puasa, we sang the birthday song for amirah and blown the candle before having the cake. kids were very happy with the ballon and the goodies (contained a note book, sweets with '1st birthday' and 'princess' covers, whitsle, party hat and baloon). Amirah wore her baju kurung and looked so adorable. she was so happy with so many kids around and slept quite late that night.
