Chocolate Fudge Cake from Secret Recipe. Very nice! I promised the girls to make their birthday cakes the next time (after the Kitchen Aid arrives from US).

*Very picture-intensive post!*
Yesterday we celebrated Germaine’s 10th birthday at Build-a-Bear (BAB) as per her request. She had originally wanted a pool party at our new place, but she finally opted for the BAB party after many a change of minds. The move, packing, unpacking, cleaning on top of working full time and running the business had just about drained me, although I would organize the party; food, logistics, entertainment etc, if she had still wanted it, just to prove to myself that “I can do it”. That is how crazily sadistic and “siao” I am.
I think it works out well this way because we are doing a cosy little housewarming party in September anyway, and are also planning to do a laid back BBQ/ beer party by the pool with our friends.
It’s funny how things always just works out well for us. Very Ah Q.
I am glad we got to do this BAB party for her birthday. All her birthday guests had so much fun! And I like that the children got to go back with a bear (with clothing! It’s like Barbie, only with bears) of their choice as a memento.

With her good friend, T, who is such a lovely and well mannered little girl.
