The Grand 21st Birthday Bash

We were invited to join the birthday party of Serena who is Leslie’s cousin. I would say this is the first time attending family member’s 21st birthday party.

The party venue is at Fort Canning Park where we held Faith’s First Birthday but a different function room. The Gallery is the biggest function room at Fort Canning which can hold up to 200 pax on a seated dinner.

When we arrived to the party venue, I was really surprised to see the beautiful decorations like the balloons, the huge birthday cake (3-tiers), great buffet spread with servers, a photographer and a corner for Polaroid photos with the birthday girl.




There was even an assigned Master-of-Ceremony to welcome the guest and told us the program for the night. The MC then passed the mic to Serena to say a few words before the real party began. It started off with ‘ice-breaker’ game where neighboring tables are to guess the cards given to them on each table... For a moment, I thought I was attending annual dinner and dance!






There are other games like dressing up your kid or kids dressing up their parents. That was pretty funny and got all the kiddos running around the super spacious room. The last game was the battle of mummies… Serena invited all the mummies (the elderly) to the stage and with the flowers given to each table; we were supposed to vote the best mum! Obviously, everyone will vote for their mum… hahahaahaha…. But the winner is based on the number of family members who attend the party…. Kekekeekekek…



Anyway, the cake cutting ceremony was quite grand warm one as she invited her parents to be by her side for that special moment. After the cake cutting ceremony, many of her helpers came forward to cut the cakes into small pieces and have it packed to a cute little box for her guest to take home… I thought that was really thoughtful.




Lastly, we had a big family picture taken outside the function room as it can’t really fit us all in. I would say that this is one biggest party of 2011 besides Faith’s 1st birthday! It was indeed an enjoyable one.

Thank you Serena for having us to be part of this special party! Happy 21st Birthday!
