The school celebration was quite fast, lasting only 30 mins. Celebration started at 3pm, which is their Hi-Tea time. After the students settled down at the dining area, the birthday song was sung, cake eaten, they proceed to their music room for the party bags distribution by Rachel. The students sat down and wait for Rachel to call out their names to receive the party bag from Rachel. Rachel became the 'Teacher' then as her friends were trying to gain her attention to be called out. ;P Rachel actually scan through her group of friends and called those who were behaving themselves in the room first.
Jonathan told Rachel during the school celebration that he will buy her a present. After the school celebration, he insisted that I bring him round our neighbourhood to 'shop' for Rachel's present. He chose the snooker table because he himself wanted to play. :-) He actually opened the present and played with it first, citing the reason that he got to help set up the thing for Rachel.
The celebration at night was just simple dinner at the coffeeshop for mine and my mum's friends. The uncles/ aunties all either gave ang pows or big presents to Rachel. Dishes was ordered from the zi char stall and after eating, it saved me the trouble of cleaning up etc as there will be people cleaning up. That's why for I have been celebrating for Rachel's birthday at the coffeeshop for 2 years. :P I ordered a Care Bear Jelly instead of the usual cake for the night celebration. The jelly was home made and it was actually quite nice, but a bit costly though. Hmm... was too busy eating, forgot to take pics of the food. ;P Dishes ordered were fried mee sua, fried rice, duck, prawn roll, ngor hiang, mixed vegetables, satay and my favourite... chilli crabs.
After the dinner, I took out the jelly for the 'jelly cutting', and there were only 3 kids singing the birthday song, namely Big Rachel, Rachel (birthday gal) and Jonathan. The adults were busying chit chatting with each other... After the kids had their jelly, they proceed to the next block to play with the fire sparkle, bomb bag and pops that I bought for them to play.. One of Jonathan's friend came to join them for the fun. Guess what? They used up the 100 sticks of fire sparkle that I bought in less than an hour!
We went back home at around 10.30pm, carrying all the birthday presents. When we reached home, Rachel started to open all her presents. This year, she received a dress with necklace & bracelet (from me), 3 bags (Minnie bag from Jenny Po Po, Hello Kitty from Harng Min and Care Bear from Ivy), 1 Care Bear DVD & tibits (from Harng min), a princess lunch box and tumble (from Ivy), 2 big soft toys (Mickey & Pooh Bear from Pauline & Lao Gong Gong), 1 Hello Kitty sticker maker (from William) and a small snooker table (from Jonathan). After Rachel finished opening her presents, she was ready to knock out for the night. :-) After all, she had a day full of activities, fun and attention from people!
