Family pics @ Marissa's 1st Birthday Party!

Finally! Received the much-anticipated DVD from Grace Tan of Integricity Visuals.

The family photo portraiture was less than half an hour but Grace managed to take so many shots of us!



My parents also joined us for the photo shoot at Marmalade Cafe. We also celebrated Marissa's 1st birthday there.

Party Decor

I bought the party decor from ebay USA and the Marmalade Cafe staff helped me decorate the place.

Hello Kitty 'Happy Birthday' Banner

Hello Kitty Lantern Garland

Hello Kitty party treat bags & cookies

Hello Kitty helium balloons - a huge hit with the kids. Balloons Bouquet Bangsar charges RM2 blowing up each balloon. Since they are located within walking distance to Bamgsar Village II, they delivered the balloons for free.




Buffet Dinner

Marmalade Cafe @ Bangsar Village II has a special section for private functions. For 50 guests, it was a cosy setting.

The buffet dinner menu served that day was.....

Seafood Fried Rice.........

Spaghetti Aglio Olio......

Mini Cupcakes.....
and.....
Roast Chicken with Mashed Potatoes
Havana Salad
Iced Lemon Tea

From the feedback given to me, the food was tasty but portions small.

Billy the Clown

I was glad that Reuben was available to entertain the guests at the party especially the little ones.

'Uncle Billy' made this balloon for me!

Evan enjoying the performance

Cookie Monster also made an appearance

Evan assisting during one of the magic tricks. I was surprised that he participated this time because the other time he saw Uncle Billy performing magic (at Joy-Anne's birthday party), he didn't want to watch.

Birthday Cake

Evan helped Marissa blow out the Hello Kitty candle cum cake topper

Ordered the cake from specialcakes.net (Tracey) who's based in Riana Green Bandar Utama. It's a basic butter cake with Hello Kitty decorations. Cost? RM160 - which I think is on the high side as the cake was quite plainly decorated and I didn't like the writing on the cake. I added a few bento picks on the cake so it doesn't look so plain and empty.

These mini cupcakes are from Marmalade Cafe. Decorated with Hello Kitty cupcake rings.

First Birthday Fun


Marissa turned one today - 16th June 2009. We had an early birthday celebration on 14th June Sunday at Marmalade Cafe Bangsar Village II. It was a buffet dinner attended by about 50 guests including kids/babies. The theme was Hello Kitty - well - as Kitty is cute (and although she has no mouth - she speaks through her heart! ).

Photographed the party packs before giving them away at the party : 2 different treat bag designs with the following contents : Sunview raisins, stickers, spinning top, pinball game, wooly ball, magnet, perfumed tissue pack, mini sauce container & activity sheet. I also bought party decor like banner, lanterns & hanging decor from ebay USA. I got Balloons Bouquet (Bangsar) to blow up 12 helium Hello Kitty balloons and they delivered them to the cafe. Uncle Billy the Clown/Magician was at hand to entertain the little ones with his Cookie Monster puppet & magic tricks/illusions.


Marissa received a whole lot of gifts and 'lucky money'. She has a new wardrobe, 3 musical instruments and a few other toys plus ikan bilis! from Langkawi - thanks to Justine! I thought she would receive dolls or kitchen toys or tea sets or other 'girly' stuff but none at all! Surprisingly - all unisex toys! Will post more photos after Grace has completed editing them - can't wait for all the photos!



Happy Birthday little princess! All glory to God for a wonderful celebration and first year!
