Just back from cambodia, and was on leave for exam, wow, so many mummies done with the 1st birthday prep.
I got a problem now. Mine.....initially is a small family affairs, but now hubby decides to have a party! Has managed to book the buffet, and order a PG cake but as AKK has said, we need to provide the topper (we wanted a Thomas & friends Theme) since we don't have the time to source for one, we have settled on a 3kg Elmo cake.
Now need to source for decorations for the venue, and goodies bags items. What to put in the goodies bag????

hello mummies.. wad a super tiring day!
i had 2 lines of buffet. halal and non halal.
halal is from Lagun Sari. had 40pax. got quite some left over.
non halal is from Westlake. 40pax too and completely wipe out.
4kg cake from PG also wipe out. i had 3tier with lychee martini, blackforest and hazelnut crunch. all non alcohol. when the cake was delivered, 2 figurines fell and the cake was a wee bit messed up. but not very obvious. funny thing is... lil Keith nv taste his cake! was busy cutting and distributing + lil Keith wanna nap already. then we forget about his share! lucky during cake cutting he accidently kick abit of his cake. well.. treat it as he got his fair share bout it. hehe. all guest say the cake is yummy.
goodie bags includes mickey favour pack(with treat bags, sticker, activity sheets, kaleidoscope, spinning top and spring) + 2 m&m choc fun size + 2 small mentos + mickey stationery set + mini clapper.
in addition, i ordered mickey party hats, masks and blowouts too.
the sad thing is i didn't prep enough goodie bags. a few came late and didn't get it.
ainsley, your trip sounds fun. do update!

Jeanie, hahaha, we also almost forgot the birthday boy's share of his cake!! Mine also PG and all 4kg wiped out!! My boy loves the lychee martinee! And he had his first lollipop! I was so amazed he found one from one of the goody bags and just naturally put in into his mouth and started twirling it in his mouth, but with wrapper on. Think he saw other children eating. Then end up I can't resist unwrap one for him...hehehe. Decided to indulge him since its his bdae!

We are also interested to see how our akk react and what items he'll pick during his 1st lunar bday. It will be interesting to see in years to come. =)
Here's some info I googled.
RE: zhuā zhōu (抓周)
traditional look at how the Chinese predict a child's future
<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1>quote:</font>
The Zhuazhou ceremony usually takes place before the longevity noodle at lunchtime. A wealthy family will install a table on the bed (or "kang," a heated brick bed used in northern China) where stamps, classic Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist books, a Chinese brush pen, ink, paper, an ink stone, abacus, coins, an accounting book, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food and toys are placed.
If the baby is female, the following items are added: a scoop, spoon (representing cooking utensils), scissors, ruler (representing sewing items), thread and a design book (representing embroidery).
The practice, however, is much more simple in a common family. Usually, a bronze tray instead of a table is placed on the kang and a book from old-style private schools, like the Three-Character Primer, is put on top, including a Chinese brush pen, abacus and a cake. Scissors, shears and a ruler are added for a girl.
The parents then seat the baby in front of the table or the tray. Without help or guidance from anyone, the baby is then free to choose anything in front of him or her. The selected items he or she chooses are used to foretell the child's interests, career and inclination in the future.
Selecting the stamp means the child will be an officer in the future. If he or she chooses the stationery first, the baby will be industrious and endowed with great literary talents. The abacus suggests a penchant for statistics and financie.
A girl who first grabs a sewing item or cooking utensil will be a good housewife. On the other hand, if a child picks a cake or a toy, he or she will know how to enjoy the pleasures in life.
There is an old Chinese saying: "You can know a child's future when he is very young." A famous Chinese writer and painter, Feng Zikai, said he chose a Chinese brush pen at his Zhuazhou ceremony. His family let him study literature and he really liked it. He then lived with a pen all his life.
Parents and relatives pin high hope on the future of their children. The custom of Zhuazhou is a method of expressing their good wishes.
The custom of Zhuazhou reflects how parents, grandparents and other relatives will encourage the child and how they will conduct enlightenment education. Even though some parents may not be superstitious, they will still carry on the custom.
This is also why the custom has been passed on through so many generations and is still practiced to this day.
Zhuazhou in modern China is a little different from before. The items have changed considerably. Many parents put a computer mouse, calculator, dollar bill, colored pen, CD, violin, book, cell phone, or ball in front of their children.
These things represent modern careers. A computer mouse means the child will pursue an IT career. A dollar bill means the child will become a businessperson. A CD or violin means the child will be interested in music.

Akk, you very detail!
Pauline, I also not very sure wad all means. It seems different ppl got different saying. Generally drumstick means tum chiak but next time got food to eat, or cookery line? Ruler I not sure, scissors means tailor, hammer means those rough work? Book means good in studies, pen means admin job, calculator means accounts, for money, some say is spendthrift some say will earn money. I didn't place hammer cuz can't find one at home and my weird mum also dun wan let him choose. I place everything in tray to let him choose. Sometimes they will pick and throw, not counted. Must pickup and grab firmly then counted.
Anyway today is then his exact lunar birthday so we let him
play again. No drumstick cuz my dads friend ate it last night! Lil Keith this time round grab firmly on pen and scissors. Tried to snatch from also fail.
Shokel, thanks! Alot alot thought he's a girl cuz of his hair. Now celebration over, feel like giving him a good haircut. I've got around 100 guest. Mostly is dad's and hubby's friends.
Genesis, got a bit of presents but more ang Bao. Hehehe.

Jeanie, I also thought of cooking a drumstick and now when I read your post, it gave me a very good idea to buy a roasted drumstick instead of cooking one. I very lazy to cook one.
Yes, me too! The memories of waterbag bursting, rushing to hospital, waiting for dilation, hunger, thrist and finally get to hug our little one in our arms is still clear in my mind!
