Kelvin celebrated his 7th birthday in April 2000. He was in P1. It was a tradition to have a big celebration on the 7th birthday so we prepared a simple party for him at home.
The theme was Thomas the Train (it was a hit 9 yrs ago). I ordered some Thomas decors, goodie bag items and banners. We bought some balloons and had them set up around the house.
We ordered cake from Bengawan Solo (one with train topper).
We had the party catered by Neo Garden. It was a really good choice. The guests loved the food. I ordered spring rolls, lemon chicken, sweet and sour fish, chocolate eclair, yong chow fried rice, fried chicken. My sis-in-law and I cooked some nuggets for the kids.
He invited friends and classmates over.

I fixed his bedroom into different stations where he and his friends can stay while waiting for other guests.
I also prepared some games for the kids to enjoy. Of course, every game had a prize.

our neighbors also came to join in the fun.

we also borrowed "pabitin" from a friend. This is a game from the Philippines wherein bamboo sticks with food and toys tied to it is raised up and down (thanks to one of Kelvin's classmate's dad) and the kids will try to grab as much goodies as they can.
Ira was too small to reach the bamboo stick.

It was indeed a very simple celeration of Kelvin's 7th birthday but I'm glad he and his friends had lots of fun.
