Overdue: My 21st birthday

My brother's birthday and mine are not far apart and due to the limited budget. My mum decided to combine our birthday party. Since my brother was away from NS that time and would only be back by CNY break, I planned to throw him a surprise. Tell him it was MY 21st. :D

I've always wanted and absolutely adore themed party, I've gone through every themed that could possibly be done.

Morrocan night
(decoration too expensive & i'm too embarassed to belly dance)

Ebony & Ivory
(too common = boring)

Malibu Sunrise
(I know not many would turn up in beach wear &
my mum would not be very keen with the whole sandy idea)


Finally!!

I settled with....

...............

of course. I was inspired by gossip girl ;) thnk u.



It was sort of last minute and I was also a bit malas,so I sent my B-day invitation through FB instead of handmade invites.



Attached are a few pictures to give my guests a rough idea of what to wear.
again...mostly inspired by GG ;)





I prepared snacks that everyone used to have & like during their schooling days like choki choki, keropok, fish sate, teddy bear chewing gum & banyak lar...



Food served are of course, school canteen-like food. Namely rojak, chicken & beef sate, pie tee, nasi lemak sambal udang, mee jawa, sandwiches and I can't hardly remember the rest. (it was 5months ago whaddya expect)

I wore a a white shirt over my navy blue short dress, red leggings, a matching scarf with a pink ribbon that says "Birthday Girl" and a brown ballet flats.
