Just came out from a shower when we’re informed that the caterer had arrived. He’s early! So my honey went to oversee @ the rooftop while I got myself ready. Celena, who'd previously agreed to help out, was the 1st to reach. My other colleagues came very early too & they were so nice to help us put up the décor.
Perhaps I was nervous & also trotting around busy with the décor initially & thereafter with our guests, I was in a daze. I didn’t take much pix of the venue as well as with our guests. Was quite disappointed with myself… the consolation was daddy did capture some moments in his camcorder.
About the tea lights, initially they looked great floating on the pool. Claris & some of them were impressed with the whole idea & set-up. But…! we had missed out the ‘kids’ part. Just a while later, they were happily fiddling with the candles & created a mess. Good thing 1 of my ex-colleague’s son, Akira, was really sensible & helped us clear the waste at the end of the event. Hmm… so there’re still many things to learn if I aspire to be an event organizer. Hehe..
And yes, Akira liked the tea light holders that’re made of metal rings, ribbons & some flowers & he asked to bring 1 home. So happy to have 1 admirer! Haha…
We had a great time chatting with our colleagues & catching up with my former ones… a pity it’s a lil short though. As some brought their kids so they had to leave early & also most of them were working the following day… But we're very happy with the well-controlled timing because we gotta wake up very early the next day to settle lotsa errands. And not to forget, quite some time was also spent in "unwrapping the gifts". The outcome was a very pleasant surprise!
So overall it's a successful event to us!
