Full Moon

We held Mason's full moon dinner on Jan 5th, 3 days ahead before his supposedly official one month age.

This time, we had it done at the restaurant that was 2 minutes drive away from home. Yeap, just down the slope and up the ramp, and there it is, the restaurant!

Dinner was held at The Club @ Extra Super Tanker restaurant, and being Chinese, this dinner was as Chinese as it can be. 

We made reservations for three tables only.

One table for family members, one table for Hubby's friends and the next for my friends.

There was one girlfriend, who made it to the dinner with her husband and two daughters, all the way from Kluang, especially just to celebrate this special day with me for Mason. Seriously, friends like her are realllllly hard to find these days. She was one of the many girlfriends, who turned up for Jaden's full moon too so I guess its more to us keeping up to traditions. I was really touched by her gestures.

Then of course, the other girlfriends I made along the way, bonded with them over last year. 

Angeline, Jaden's classmate's mother, who hails from Penang too and in fact, its such a small world that we used to go to the same school and ballet school too. So its kinda like we knew of each other since school days.

Then, there is Winnie, whom I clicked really well with in regards to our son's special needs situation and we have been Sunday buddies till I got pregnant and mostly stayed home during Sundays then.. but we still have our breakfast and dinner dates from time to time with another two mothers.

Racheal, whom I got first know during our Poppy days, then turns out that we are both working in the Public Relations/Advertising industry and met again during The Edge congratulatory party, and then facebook got us closer and sort of clicked after we found out we were both expecting about the same time. 

Then, there is Gyn and PeiSan, Iz and Grace + Haidn whom have always make sure to be present to celebrate our pride and joy. First its all about Jaden, and now for Mason too. 

Of course, then there is the usual gang from Hubby.. :) good friends too at that who has also started making appearances since Jaden turned 2..

Mason was so excited that night, he hardly slept off. He was just busy looking around, people ooh and aah-ings over him. He only fell asleep when the dessert was served.. and lets just say, he was pretty tired out after that and had to recuperate from the party for at least two days before he charged up again being one feisty boy too.

Jaden, thankfully for his grandfather who helped looked after him while we tended to the guests and Mason, was being cheeky that night. He bullied his way through and before the dinner could end, he threw a tantrum and we had to bring him to the car to calm him down, let him watch his DVD in the car while the grandfather kept him company.

That was our cue to end the dinner fast, and Hubby quickly packed the gifts and stroller into the car and off we went home after that. 

So that was the end of the dinner, determined by Mason's big brother. :)
