The day SUPERHEROES let their hair down…
Emraan’s birthday is on the 26th January but since it was a Wednesday, we decided to celebrate it over the weekend which is the 29th January. We wanted to be fair to both kids. We wanted them to have similar birthday celebrations and not question us when they get older. So, since Eshaan had a McDonald’s birthday party when he was 1, we decided to have the same kind for Emraan.
It was not as smooth sailing during the planning of the party. When we got the McDonald’s brochure, we realised that they now predetermine the time slots for the party. it was so tough coz it’s either the kids’ nap time or at 11am! (who would carry out a party at 11am?)
We went round and round to find a suitable McDonald’s. At last we decided on Potong Pasir. It’s a quiet neighbourhood and the McDonald’s are just the right size for my party and my invitees. and it’s near the NEL! so perfect!
Theme:
For Eshaan’s party, he had a sport’s theme. It was fun and we see that most of our invitees dressed up and trying to win the best-dressed prizes! So for Emraan’s birthday, we decided to do something more challenging. we debated a few themes and see the possibility of the themes and finally, we decided on the SUPERHERO theme.
We got Jijid to design the invite for us – mainly the picture of Emraan in the superman costume. 
Prior to the party, me and hubby have been receiving sms, msg, pm… telling ushow much every invitee is trying to win the best-dressed prize! we were so touched by all the efforts put in by all the guests… thank you one and all! love. love.
The day came and all of us were very EXCITED! we were known as the ‘INCREDIBLE REDS’.
When we arrived, Navin, Nitin and Auntie Mani were already there. Together with the Batman couple..
Soon after Transformers, The Flash, Grasscutterman, Raven, SuperMommy, Super DK, WonderGirl but the ultimate family has to be Pujangga Malam! They came as Zorro, BatGirl, Superwoman and the man himself – BATMAN. When i saw him walking by McDonald’s, I burst out laughing. Couldn’t believe it. He really went all out and rented the costume. Ultimatelah!
Anyway, since our guests were mainly adults and teens, we’ve informed McDonald’s before hand and they arranged the games for the adults and teens. SO we had charade and treasure hunt.. so it was a nice ice-breaker! We had our meals and we had then we declared the winners for the BEST-DRESSED contest. Before that, we had the kids to show off their best pose and the adults had to answer some grueling questions and definitely do their best powerful pose. it was hilarious!
So, here are the winners :
KIDS – 1st (Syahindah as Lil’ Zorro) , 2nd (Aqmar as Transformers) and 3rd (Mohd as Superman)!
Thank you parents for your help!
ADULTS – 1st (Pujangga Malam as Batman), 2nd (Qayyum as Flash) and 3rd (Nitin as The Mysterious Boxer)
Thank you!!!
Thank you one and all for coming despite the rainy weather… it was so fun and nice family bonding time for all of us! Thank you. I love all of you and i believe everyone of us had fun and Emraan will smile looking back at all photos.
