It’s My Party and I’ll Blog If I Want To (Part 1)

Hullo everybody! I’m back from my birthday celebration, finally!

First of all, a big THANK YOU to my Aunty Bav, Divya, Aunty Zalin, Hawra and Uncle Moby for the birthday wishes! All your wishes came true and I had a WONDERFUL BIRDDAY!

As you can see, I had a smashing good time on my birthday birthweek. Yes, birthweek, because it lasted almost a week. Until today I am singing the Happy Birdday to Kara song (it’s so catchy I tell ya!) and since the balloons and banners are still all over our house and my nenek’s house, I guess the celebration is still on!

There were so many gifts ‘hidden’ around the house that I couldn’t bear the anticipation anymore. So, on the eve of my birthday, I actually pleaded with Papa to open ONE present.

Elmo ACTUALLY spoke to me. How cool is that?

Well it turns out that it was a present he bought for HIMSELF. Hmmph. As soon as I took it out from the box, Papa hogged the remote control and the car started whizzing around the house the whole night. Thanks, Papa.

On my birthday itself, my nenek gave me a dress (which I wore IMMEDIATELY to show her how much I liked it) and she cooked us her delish chicken rice. My favourite. After dinner, it was the UNVEILING of my very own bedroom/ playroom (not that I haven’t been in there EVERYDAY before that…shhhh!) I totally love love love my room, especially now that it is full of toys! You won’t find me scampering around the house anymore, no siree, I’ll be in my toddler pad…

Only half of my dollies made it to the shelves. How sad.

I especially love the flower lights (to remind everyone that this is a GIRLS-ONLY room (Papa and my Atuks are an exception). I also have this radio and cd player in the room, spinning Radiohead and Omara Portuondo on loop. Hmmmm…. how fishy is that?

See where the other half of my dollies go?

Papa was so generous (hmmm….. fishy fishy…) that he even put an lcd tv in my room, and the playstation, and the xbox… hey wait a minute- does this mean he will hang out in MY ROOM NOW???

*groannnn*

I guess he sorta made up for it- the rest of the gifts were not beneficial to him (especially the dolls and the pony), so, it’s okay Papa, you can hang out in my room and KEEP AN EYE ON ME. How about that for a deal?

We got the melting ice-cream cake out of the fridge (smart thinking, Papa) but I took my time anyway blowing out the candles. I made a long hard wish. Can’t tell you guys what it is.

Mama coaxing me to blow out the candles because she wants to eat the cake.Next came the best part- unwrapping prezzies! I was too lazy to rip the paper off the gifts so Mama had to do it. She was excited alright. Maybe more than I was. THANK GOD none of this can be played by Papa! ALL MINE!

I love this gift the most! Muackkksss!

My parents got me the Sesame Street gang. Well almost all- but what matters most is Elmo is mine!

Right after we finished opening all the presents, we went over to my Nenek’s house for ANOTHER CELEBRATION and more presents. I’ll tell you more about this in my next post.

In the meantime….

Hold yer horses!
