Wen Rou's birthday party at Restoran Kamunlau, Tanjung Lumpur, Kuantan

Wen Rou is my English student and attends class together with her brother, Joshua as they prepare for a move to England to further their studies. She has turned 21 and celebrated at Restoran Kamunlau in Tanjung Lumpur, Kuantan.

I took on the role of photographer for the time we were there for my own personal hobby, but also to hopefully pass on some memorable photos for Wen Rou.

Restoran Kamunlau has ample parking space and is located just off the east coastline in the Tanjung Lumpur area of Kuantan

The restaurant gradually filled up with friends and family

Sweet and sour chicken, chicken curry, fried rice and noodles were among the dishes on the menu. Was very satisfied with the food

Birthday Party at Rocana Hotel, Kuantan

I'm amazed at how many events we attend, to which we were invited as guests, where I become the main photographer. People have iphones and ipads and take pictures at certain points, but it's quite rare that a photographer with a professional camera snaps shots of all aspects of the event. That's what happened when we attended Thalia's birthday party at Rocana Hotel, Kuantan, recently.

Thalia attends the same primary school as my daughter and the respective parents are friends and gym buddies.

No children's party is complete without candy. And plenty of it.

Children enjoyed a number of party games such as blowing up a balloon as large as possible

Great party even though we left a little early as the girls had to sleep. Thanks to Thalia's family for the invitation. Hope you guys like these photos!

Fidelia's Friday - It's my birthday!

Hey everyone, it so happens that my birthday  falls on Friday this year! I'm going to share my special day with all of you. 

Birthdays do get less exciting when you're older. I am not practically EXCITED to be in my late 20's now but I am thankful to be able to celebrate this special day with my beloved husband and two lovely children.

Lauren made me a lovely card. She's good at making cards. She told her daddy what to write on the card and I will treasure every card she makes for me on my birthdays.

Here are some pictures of my cake that my dear husband ordered from my talented neighbour.

Hmm...yummy!

Thanks my dear husband for the cake and also the lovely presents you bought for me. I still need to collect the present my parents-in-law sent to me all the way from England. Mum, I promise I will get it tomorrow! 

I also would like to thank those that wished me a Happy Birthday! I am having a great time despite having a runny nose. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAVE A FABULOUS FRIDAY EVERYONE!
