JE is 11! Good thing MCO has ended and we could dine out. She chose Morganfield's for lunch. Birthday girl gets to order a drink (usually have to drink water from home hehe).
Trying non-alcholic apple mojito
Gosh soon she won't qualify for kids' meals anymore. This time her mac-n-cheese was salty and strongly-cheesy but she finished it.
Yum!
Then the difficult part, choosing a birthday present. This is an awkward age when she's outgrowing toys. She has a lot of soft toys already. We also generally buy her whatever she wants in terms of food, books, clothes. Didn't find anything good in the whole of Toys r us.
Hmm what shall I choose?
Was 90% failing in Hamley's as well when she found some science-based sets. Ahh luckily she liked these (and we could go home). Carted back a safe with an alarm, a lamp and some DIY candles. Hubby helped with the lamp and the safe - not easy.
How to build this Papa?
My cake! Nice?
Happy birthday to me!
Then on the actual day, went out for dinner with my parents. This time she chose Syrian food and got to order a drink again - lemon mojito this time. I decided to try new things: This big lamb shank I saw earlier and some appetisers - hommous, baba ghanoush (or was it brown foul), falafel, samosa etc. Verdict: Although not awful, not so much to my taste. Next time will just order options like grilled chicken wings, chicken sharwarma and other dishes with rice.
Us, and some food
She said she had a good birthday. :)
Happy Birthday to JE! She got her birthday present and also to celebrate twice with family and grandparents!
ReplyDeleteTq! Yeah decided to give her the option of dining out - possible for me to make it since I'm working from home.
DeleteHappy birthday to JE! She is officially a teenager now. She looks lanky so should grow tall like her father. Wah, why she knows about Syrian food? What is the name of the restaurant?
ReplyDeleteTeenager not starting from 13yo meh? She's still quite short (and unlikely to grow much taller now she has hit puberty).
DeleteMozer's - we have been there before as it's nearby. Used to have a outlet in Subang Parade which has closed down.
Some girls bloom later so may shoot up when 15 or 16 years old.
DeleteCan never go wrong with dark chocolate. so from which bakery the cake? Two very good celebration. She must be so happy for her birthday celebrations 🎂🎉!
ReplyDeleteThis bakery is a small one near our house. Quality is acceptable and they have a good range of kiddy designs. Not that JE selected one of those this time.
DeleteAfter building the safe, what does it do?
ReplyDeleteIt requires a key to open otherwise it sounds an alarm. :) JE specifically wants to keep SE out haha.
DeleteHahahaha I can relate to that because as a younger sister, I will look through my elder sister's stuffs! Hahahaha 🤣😂
Deletehappy belated birthday, JE! May u grow up to be a smart & pretty lass!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind wishes!
DeleteNice family photos. In fact all the photos are very nice. Good memories.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mun.
