Happy 17th Birthday to the Not So Little Girl

I can’t remember when was the last bday party that Nana had. It must be during her primary school years. I stopped planning thereafter bcos it is such a tiring job.

Unfortunately, Nana spent her sweet 16 falling sick and then mugging for the WAs retakes. Right after her bday, she worked really hard for Chinese O levels. Next year, she would like be mugging for mid year in prep of A levels when she turns 18. Hahahahahaha. 

Being such a nice mummy, I offered her a celebration for her 17th bday bcos she is unlikely to have a chance to do so next year. Her bday this year falls nicely on Vasek Day. After thinking (or was it procrastinating??) for a while, she finally decided that she would have the SHSS kids’ gang to do a sleepover. Then, a BBQ with her secondary friends on Monday. Her planning still sucks and I had to rush her to make plans. Zzzzz. 

Did the sleepover take place? Thankfully yes but it was only Boo and T. Why? I duno. 

The BBQ was quite easy to plan. I ordered the food online and one of the Fs helped her to book a BBQ pit at my brother’s place. Popo cooked her curry and Daddy Lim helped to set up the fire. 

We left shortly after the fire was set up. We told her to look for my brother for help if anything goes wrong but I didn’t even know if my brother was home. The trick is to keep the fire going or to use the gas stove beside the pit if the fire failed. More importantly, to feed the food to her friends 1st if she isn’t sure if the food is cooked. Hoho. 

Nana didn’t disturb us and no news is good news. She only called at 8ish, pleading for Daddy Lim to go and pick her and asked what to do with the rest of the unfinished food. By the time she was home, we were all too tired to ask her what happened at the party. She mentioned that it was great. Good ah!







This should be a last birthday celebration for another long time. After this, she is considered as an adult and should do her own planning, right? Happy birthday Nana!
