2009 Halloween Party!

October 31st 2009. a Spooky Saturday! a Rainy Halloween! but we got to the party and i love it! Aunt O did a great job decorating the house! its filled with more halloween decor this year! every corner you turn, every colour you see it spells halloween! the doorbell was fun. press the button and the spider "stings" your hand! and lets out a "scary" laughter! my little gal not scared or maybe dun know its scary, she put her hand and touch the mouth area of the evil pumpkin, looking for the spider that sting her hand! love the scary floating candles! the lights were dim in certain areas and it set the right mood for the nite!
love the pic of R with her tiny finger in her mouth... haha she looks like she is trying to look spooky! she looks kinda comical to me! thou i detest that finger in her mouth!!! cos whenever she pulls out her tiny finger/s gosh.... follows a pool of slimy saliva!!! my favourite part of the house is the carpouch. cos i love the lamp with the orangy web! love the spider web table cloth! Aunt O set up a kids corner serving the kiddos their very own party food! the doorgifts for the kids were either witch pots or mini pumpkin filled with eyeball chocs! these had balloons attached to them!
then the beautiful collection of halloween items from Japan Disney Resort! Aunt got them from her recent trip! haven you ever seen a mickey ghost character? check out the chocolates! creamy little mickey ghosts! then check out mickey and minnie pumpkins! aunt o got them as porcelein plates, soft toy and many colourful minitures plastic containers that were filled with candy!




the only kitty halloween item would be this movable hello kitty in a ghost costume! think it shakes with a japanese song! tot i heard some japanese! love the cute water containers! i prep my gal with a soft pumkin bag for trick or treating! then i found my orange bear and i put it into her pumpkin bag! this year i am no longer at SAS but lucky aunt o got some mini pumpkins cos i love having one of these tiny ones every year!


love the shot i took of my cousin! the window effect did make the photo look "errie" but wished i had taken one that she was making a expressionless face, cos that would be a really good scary shot! the only shot i took with my mum with Rachel! my little pumpkin baby can't stop looking around! esp when the children, my cousin L's frens all run round screaming their lungs out! Baby R kept looking at all the items and all the dangling decor, very curious but glad that she didnt cry! Love the badges on Nesa's vest! We had a MJ theme but when Cousin L invited her frens, its was half MJ theme and of cos Halloween theme. love the silly shot of my bro's imitation of franky! the scariest costume would have to be the mask that Uncle W suppose to wear... nesa took it from her dad and made it hers!


best dressed characters would be my aunt o and uncle m! Marilyn Monroe and Elvis! who can beat them! even L's doggie had a costume! Vampire doggy! so why are the boys not dressed???

thanks to gugu, i borrowed the cute halloween hat with mickey mouse ears. Sil got this from HK disney shop at the airport. Little R's costume was an assembly designed by me. 2 months back i chanced upon this cute old navy white long-sleeved romper that says Daddy's Little pumpkin! it cost $3! then i got $2 worth of orange organza from haji lane. got a seamtress to sew 2 layers onto the romper! a little ex $10 but she did a fantastic job as she did a better job than i expected. got her old navy stripy green and white long pants $3. so in all her little halloween costume cost $18! and thanks to gugu, she wore the white H&M "pilot" hat! making her look cuter! seems like all our head gear are from gugu! daddy borrowed gugu's MJ looking hat! after a few shots, baby R surrended!

Aunt O ordered adults buffet from Samy's curry! the food were all in orange and red colour! how halloween! spicy but everything was tasty and yummy! love the masala chicken! the squid and fish.... didnt get to try the lamb thou! we used all halloween cutlery! for the kids they had red tomato sauce 3 colour spiral pasta, cocktail sausages, fishballs and halloween cupcakes!

Nope i didnt make the cupcakes! wanted to bake halloween cookies but didnt have time! will make them next time with my baby! the cupcakes were not cheap! heard aunt K say it seems to cost $4-5 for one! for dessert, the kids had chocolate ice-cream that suppose to look like mud, served with gummy electric-coloured wormies! while the adults had both chocolate and mint ice-cream and yes with a few worms in the cup too!



dear joined the boys in performing a special MJ tribute gig! the boys planned and they went to get the wig and they all got together to practice for their performance in the afternoon! they were the Jackson 5! with Cousin B being the young MJ! so they sang some part of songs from Jackson 5 and they then they broke into a dance and song from the Korean Wonder Girls, performing Noboby! everyone in the house laughed, giggled and they did a great job from colouring their face to entertaining everyone!
i am glad that my dear hubby joined them! its his best halloween costume so far! he sure did a good job with his face! the black is applied so smoothly! but for sure i won't allow him to perm his hair!!! the "wash off" session was funny! all the boys end up looking scary with their half-washed face! Cousin B kept saying he look so gay in the photo he took with me as his eyes seemed to have eye-liner! tot he look more like a rocker!

my dear baby was sleeping as i played treasure hunt with the little frens of cousin L. We even off the lights to have a dark treasure hunt around the house! but maybe i haven been working with kids for a long time! couldnt take the screaming!!! all the loud chatter at one go! end up with a slight headache! trying to keep cool while trying my best to give instructions!


when little R woke up, after changing her nappy, i started to take shot of her in her 1st halloween costume! her angry expressions suit the halloween nite! when she saw daddy and started to warm up to my camera, she kept posing non-stop for me! ended up with many shots and these were selected, put together to see her motion thru 15 mins of non-stop clicking


some of the funny expressions, the shock expressions and the cheeky expressions got me and daddy smiling thru the shoot! she is sure one pipi little baby! she loves her costume as she didnt want me to change her! she very ai piao liang!
