My daughter birthday picnic

As requested by my daughter, we celebrated her birthday at the Muara Beach on sunday.  This was the first time we did this so we didnt know what to anticipate.  We arrived early on sunday morning to get a good spot and we were abit worried when it was raining very heavily.  We arrived at Muara Beach at around 7am and the beach was deserted except for a few people who wandered around and picked a spot for themselves.  Luckily, the rain stopped at around this time although the place was wet.  Well, just hope for the best...

We found a good spot but it was clearly a bit dirty so hubby cleaned the whole place up and ready to receive family.  The day went so slowly (I wondered why), a few of Ayang's friends turned up (7 of them only, lol).  We understood though, it was rather far from everyone's home and the weather was bad in the morning.  But the day turned out ok.  As usual, fancy eating was on the go.  We started to fire up the bbq set and berbequing away.

We were lucky the rain stopped from then onwards, so it was a nice and cool day.  No blowing candles or cutting cakes though.  It was a rather relax day for everyone.  Relaxed and full as usual.  So thanks for everyone who turned up.

Now onto the food.  We opted for birthday cupcake this time.  Considering where we were (at the beach), we thought it was a good idea for cupcakes since we dont need to cut the cake and distribute to everyone, turned out this was a good idea, where people just reached in and took the cupcake.  We ordered the cupcakes and a few other dishes from http://kitchenofjasmine.blogspot.com/.  It was delicious and proved to be so popular!  Like their shepard pie where I didnt get to see at all, lol.  And now pictures of some of the food we had...
