The Red Party

The Red Party

This is by far the most difficult post. There were just too many stories to tell and tones of pictures to upload. I have taken way too much time to complete the story. It’s been more than 3 weeks, and I’ll try to recall as many as I could.

It was a birthday of Mr Fedo, a dear friend. I’m speaking not just on behalf of myself, but I’m sure most of my friends would agree with this statement.

I know this guy back then, when he was an intern at NAZA. He came in and led to the birth of Four Friends (Liena, Nana, Fedo and Me). We are beyond friends. Full stop.

He also have another group of close friends, Azli and Fariz. They were classmates since secondary school. Along the way, they met Izwan and Shah.

Back in Uni, he got acquainted with Alin and Is. All three of them did their internship at NAZA and Is got married to Elis, who works at the accounce department.

Groups dont usually grow or click with other group. And we all have proved it wrong. Credit to Fedo!

Last year, we had a surprise birthday party for Fedo. And it was a blast! So, this year we thought of throwing a planned party. Everyone was informed to block the date in early September.

“The Red Party” – That was the chosen theme. We wanted to do something wild (which is SO Fedo!) but since it's Ramadhan, we decided to go with something more appropriate.

The Invitation Card

But that didn’t stop our creativity! Haha.

Initially the idea was to have it at The Residence. But when I presented the invitation card to Fedo and Liena;

Fedo : Huh? The Residence?
Liena : Yea, why not do it at Lanson Place again?
Me : Well, eerm…. It never came across my mind. I thought The Residence is ok.
Liena : Awh, come on, let’s do it somewhere else. It’s Fedo’s birthday for god sake! Come lah…

For the record, this conversation was held 2 days before the party. I had to make few quick run here and there and settled with Flamingo Hotel. It was the nearest hotel to my place. I had a rather interesting conversation during the reservation

Executive : Your reservation is confirmed.
Me : Thank you.
Executive : But Sir, I have to inform you that our hotel is under construction at the moment. I will be noisy during daytime. From 9.00am to 6.00pm. Are you ok with that?
Me : I’m fine with that. But in return, I have to inform you that I might be noisy during the night. Are you ok with that?
Executive : Shouldn’t be any problem, so far the whole level is empty.
Me : We have a deal.

Note: When I say noisy, I meant the party.


Ok, let’s have a look at the deco of the suite. It was pretty horrible when we first went in, but thanks to the team, the whole room was converted into a red party!

Setting up

There were plenty of roses -Red of course!


I saw this candle holder 2 hours before the party.

We had red stuff on the menu as well.

Now, let's look at the guests:

Azli

Nana (she drove all the way from Kemaman for this party!)

Fariz

Izwan

Syah

Iskandar & Elis

Me

Everyone arrived around 6.30pm, we got ready and had our break-fasting together. Fedo was running late, and arrived slightly after 7pm. Since it's his big day, It's ok..

Break-fasting

Then, it was photography time!

Then, it was time to cut the cake.

Don't bother counting the candles. He's 26!

Now, let's have a look at a short video!

Everyone enjoyed the delicious Secret Recipe.

OOpss...

After 2 rounds of "Truth or Dare" session, we had another round of photography session!

Girl, u need a make-over!

P. Ramlee & Saloma?

Sexay... as always!

The night was filled with non-stop laughter and chatter. It may be a small gathering, but it was big enough to keep each of us entertained all night long!

Some left around midnight, but most of us stayed there and went out for sahur together. I can't really describe the fun we had. It's just beyond explaination.

Everyone got a Givenchy scented deco stuff as a souvenir.

The gift

Thanks to everyone who attended and help out during the party.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FEDO!!!
