Syazy my dear friend who is now trying her hardest to work in Wales was back for the weekend, to celebrate her mom’s 50th birthday (which was actually a week ago). I knew parents could have fun, but this was really a treat to see people not around my age but still able to enjoy having a blast and just hanging with company that they all like.

The party was held at Rick’s Cafe Casablance located in Onebangsar. I once again thank God for such a thing called Google Maps. The earlier part of the day had me running around The Curve to find a mask for the masquerade party…

Yes you heard me MASQUERADE PARTY!

Gosh i didn’t think i’d go to on ever in my life and this was a blast!! It was so much fun, everyone in masks with glitter and fru fru feathers. I bought one at Axxezz for about RM33. Not too bad till i found out you could get even nicer ones for the same price at Great Eastern Mall… dang it!!!!

Then when I got to the party, there were beautiful masks all over the place. Way nicer than mine! So it didn’t hurt to go around each table and pick one to take pictures… Hehehe  going to a masquerade party reminds me of two things. Gossip Girls – The Handmaiden’s Tale, when they had a lavish masquerade ball.

and The Phantom of The Opera – Masquerade. Let’s sing a song

CHORUS
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade!
Hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!

Ahhh…. that brings back memories…

Yes… as a chef.. or a student chef.. my sister was absolutely horrified to see good carrots gone to waste by the magician. He was trying to show that it is sharp and the blade he was fiddling with is real.

As any birthday party, there “has” to be some lame magician show. Now, see, I have a little brother who is really into doing magic tricks. Least he was at one point. So when I start to look at magic shows, I’m either trying my darndest to figure it out or I’ll be saying ok I know how he did it. Lol.

Here we have the birthday lady’s husband, Uncle Rahim, giving a really sweet speech about his wife. About all the times they’ve had together as a couple, why 50 is such a significant time, the obstacles she has faced. The birth of her wonderful children and not forgetting the people whom she’ve met. And whom enjoy her company and visa versa. ^_^

The lovely family. The gorgeous lady of 50 is standing there in gold. This is the whole family together with the masquerade cake. The cake was delicious just that the icing was kinda hard. But the texture of the chocolate cake inside…. muak… magnifique.

This white mask is probably my favourite out of all the masks we had just simply grabbed from each table.

They also just had to… and i mean had to put on some songs that were popular back in the 80s.. or 70s.. Memorable songs like YMCA, Saturday Night Fever, Tell Me More by Grease, I Will Survive and the must must for every party. The Macarena, lol, which my sister quickly jumped right in. lol.. aww so cute.

See told you the masks were really nice and they were so much fun!!! I’m going to have a masquerade party too one day. A real must!

The girl in the middle is Syaz and she’s probably on her way back to Wales now at this point.
