HAPPY BIRTHDAY PURPLE PRINCESS!
My favourite burpaholic turns the big 3-0 today and to usher in this dirty and flirty (according to her) decade, she threw a poolside party at Botannia yesterday, thanks to Tsolmon and hubby Edwin who helped book the BBQ area.
Dress code was hot pink and/or lime green and I sported both colours on my top, earrings, bag and slippers. Most people were in pink though, including Joanne and family. She tailored shirts for Tarek and Ray in the same fabric as her romper.
Though it was Joanne's party, Ray was the star of the show. At any one time, he had an entourage surrounding him, either playing with him or snapping pictures.
We decided to leave the bubs at home, Nat wanted to watch the NDP parade on TV and Natasha was sleeping. Plus Gigi had come over to play since Kevin appeared to be down with stomach flu and Swana wanted to minimize contact with him so she was around to babysit. (Thanks Swana!)
Am glad we went child-free, the weather was so hot and Nick would probably have been sweating buckets if he had to run after Nat. He had fun with the other hubbies though, at least there was some male company for him.
Joanne's cousin made the cupcakes and birthday cake, which I matched! Food was courtesy of Germaine's aunt, who happens to love to cook. Jo's caterer bailed on her at the last minute and it was Aunty Gladys to the rescue. Shepherd's pie was good, there was also oxtail stew, fried bee hoon, chicken wings and kueh pie-tee.
Germaine came really late, we stayed on just to say hi and bye to her before rushing to TTSH. Towards the end of the party I had received a call from Swana saying we had better visit Uncle Jaya at hospital, his condition was deteriorating.
He had been admitted last Thursday after falling and hitting his head. Suffered some internal bleeding in the brain and was unconscious for a while and then the doctors found that he was actually suffering from advanced pneumonia. He was in ICU then woke up and was getting better the last couple of days but today was not a good day so the family are preparing themselves for the worst.
I'm hoping he pulls through...we can only pray.
