Zack's Soccer Birthday Party

Dubai always fascinates me...

Be it the people, the customs, the weather...  and now, even the birthday celebrations fascinate me...

In Singapore, when you have  a birthday, what do you do? You either hold a party in Mac Donalds, hold a party in a function room or just hold a party in your house right? WRONG!

In Dubai, it is cool to hold parties in ARCADES and BOWLING ALLEYS so tat the kids can a free pass to bowl and play arcade games for the whole day..

But that was last year's trend.

This year, the new trend is a MOVIE PARTY.. you gather a few good friends and watch a movie together with pop corn and in return,  the attendees just bring a present for the birthday boy. Dunno which clever parent came up with this way... totally fuss free lor:) wahahahaha.. except for the time when you are bringing 10 boys into the movie theatres! :)

The first year we were here, I rarely attended birthday parties... since they are usually held elsewhere and because Max was travelling alot more then, we were many times stranded without transport... This year, I started to allow Ace to go for parties (when I realize party times are also my part tor time with Max:) wahahahah) and so I thought the Movie Party already very cool right...

And Ace got invited to a Soccer Party at a park :) Since it is at a park, we decided to just go and picnic there ourselves:)

Our useful mat.. well worth our investment:) wahahah

The boys started their soccer game earlier before the others arrive.. as the others were late..

Check out the cute bird picking up litter as its food:)

Burj Khalifa from afar...

It was a beautiful day and a good time for arty farty shots...

There was this particular person in the team.. we kept looking and looking.. couldnt tell if it is a boy or a girl... cos the person had long hair.. but actions like a boy... hahaha... In the end, Ace told us that he is a BOY! Wah, schools here allow boys to have long hair.. so cool wor!

Me trying out my friend's suggestion on covering up to protect myself from the hot sun when I am walking around under the hot sun:)

Lying down ....

More arty farty shots...

Official match starting with birthday boy's father being the referee and birthday boy's brothers acting as goalkeepers:)

Lovely clouds in the sky too..

Playing around with my phone camera functions...

Time for the birthday cake!:)

Birthday boy's mummy even baked a soccer ball cake! Amazing!

Time for some pizza:)

Afterward, they had some games.. and it was great they got to run around...

Then sun set lor.. and time to go home..

The lovely sky as we drove home...

All in all, it was a beautiful day :)
