A Marvelous Birthday Celebration In Planning

Let's talk about something happier today. :)

It's the time of the year again where I get busy thinking of ideas for the kids' birthday parties. Joey's birthday is coming up next Monday, but because of the incident, we're going to have a belated celebration this year. Jayne's a month later. Both parties' plans have been more or less firmed up, and it's exciting this year because we've got some sponsors to make the parties a little special.

Joey's party is going to be at the end of the month at home, and what's special this year is that Cadbury has kindly sponsored a one-hour ride on Joyrider, the special-treat bus where the kids will get to enjoy unlimited Cadbury chocolates on board while playing games with the fun hosts. This photo was from last year's campaign, so we are looking forward to seeing what this year's bus looks like. :) It's really timely that the Cadbury Joyrider runs only in April and May every year, which is just in time for the girl's birthday.

You will be happy to know that the Joyrider runs at several places in Singapore during this period of time, and it is absolutely free-of-charge! Just hop on and off as you like. The Joyrider is also more than just getting from one point to another; passengers on board can expect free Cadbury chocolates and some in-ride entertainment provided by the Joyville workers. Photo fanatics will have fun props to make their pictures pop, while social media savvy passengers can also tweet and/or upload Instagram photos with the hashtag #JoyriderSG to win Cadbury prizes and premiums.

And there's more! Just like me, you can also charter the Joyrider for your private function/event. With a minimum spend of S$20 on Cadbury chocolates, the Joyrider is available for an hour’s private charter, with different activity packages customized according to the occasion, be it a girl’s night out or a corporate event. Booking is done through Joyrider.SG or via the hotline at 62328515. Proof of purchase is required. Sounds incredible if you ask me. :)

So Joey has started Primary School, and since we can't hold parties like we did during her kindergarten days in past years, we are only going to give out goody bags to her classmates when she goes back to school next week. We got the cue from her other classmates who did the same in the last few months. So, the little elves had been busy packing and packing, and the goody bags are all packed & ready!

Apart from that, the birthday cakes for the girls' parties have also been confirmed.  Swensen's has kindly sponsored two ice-cream cakes under their new Dreamworks Magadascar3 series. I've always loved their ice-cream cakes, so I guess I am more excited than the girls for this one. :P
