Sometimes you don't know when a hidden gem is just in front of your nose. I received a last minute order for a themed birthday cake (for newbies, last minute= a week before the party) and I couldn't get my regular cake supplier to bake a cake for me. I asked around and found out from my grandmother that one of our neighbours bakes cupcakes (she came to know this only when she received some cupcakes with my neighbour's company sticker on the box.) "Perhaps she does cakes too", she suggested. I tried my luck and called the number on the sticker.

As luck would have it, my neighbour, Aunty Chloe has been baking and decorating cakes for a living for the past 4 years!!! I was so happy I could barely contain my excitement (but had to, to look somewhat professional!) Her prices are reasonable as well!

So here's the link to her website just in case you're looking for a wonderful baker!

I came to know about this concept during my visit to the UK a few years back. I decided to incorporate it into one of our party themes mid-last year as no other party planner specializes in it in Malaysia.

Our first event was held at Michelangelo's Restaurant & Bar, Mont Kiara where the public were sold tickets to attend. 50% of the proceeds went to Salaam Wanita. We hired talents to act out certain roles and put up a short show for the guests who had to figure out who among the talents was the murderer.

Clue cards were distributed and because there were so many clues, the game lasted about 2 hours after buffet dinner was served. As it was a thinking game, most of the guests were not prepared to spend time poring over the clues so we decided to take another approach for our future Murder Mystery Parties.

(Most Malaysian restaurants are not ready to host this sort of party unlike the UK so we only do this sort of parties upon request such as during birthday parties and anniversary dinners.)

A more interactive approach was to get the guests involved in the "murder". The host would allocate characters to his/her guests a few weeks before the party without knowing which character is really the murderer. As the party draws closer and the guests get excited, we give them a more detailed background of their character and this is when they might know if they are indeed the murderer. Exciting ain't it?

As we have many Murder Mystery themes to choose from the guests are encouraged to dress to the theme according to what sort of character he's supposed to play. Some might come as a loony scientist, some as political figures, some as call girls and entertainers.
As the guests arrive at the party, they are given instruction sheets so they need not memorize any lines. (Some guests play their roles so well that other guests have to ask them whether they're in their character or not!). The instruction sheets then tell them who to approach in the party and how to react to certain statements.

Throughout the night, they have to figure out who the murderer is (by snooping around and interrogating other guests) while hiding their own secrets (through bribing, of course! Scandalous!). The detective then reveals all at the end of the night.

One important note is to JUST RELAX! Things will happen naturally (if all the allocated main characters are there at the party, of course! A missing character spoils the whole scheme of things and that's why RSVPs are very crucial)

So if you're into this sort of party, come book us 2 months in advance. It's ideal for guests above 18 (we don't want to teach the young ones naughty things, do we?) and for groups of 20-50.

Something I was sure about when forming Best Events is that I wanted a company that creates a good, personal experience for everyone attending the event or party at reasonable prices.





Every event or party that we organize is a new learning experience for us.

I was once asked to do a poolside party for kids and I believe that was one disaster! It was held on a public holiday and the balloon supplier could not deliver the helium balloons.

It was my first time filling balloons up with helium and it wasn't too difficult. Filling the water balloons with water is a different matter! I was lucky enough to have my partner help me with the chore though he swore never to get involved in that sort of thing again. Poor thing! The balloons kept bursting!


We were also asked to assist with the barbequeing ( by assisting we thought it meant mostly serving) but ended up having to man the whole thing the whole night. I can tell you, it's no easy task! Needless to say, we burnt all the garlic bread. Thank God the client's family friend saved us from further embarrassment. The party went well but it would have been best for the client to have hired a proper caterer to help with the food and to clean up after. Back then I hadn't mastered the art of saying "no". Now I've gotten better at it!

Who doesn't love parties? I like throwing them more than attending them! Growing up in Petaling Jaya during my school days, I loved celebrating my birthday simply because I enjoyed buying prizes to go along with the games that my guests and I would play at home. I'd find simple ways to decorate the house and simply enjoyed celebrating Halloween just for the fun of dressing up and hanging plastic insects and creating invites.



Party planning took a back seat during secondary school and gatherings were held more often in restaurants for more privacy.

Event planning became very much a part of me when I joined CHANEL as a Communications Assistant. My boss and I were in charge of the fashion shows and media launches. To ensure that the image of CHANEL is never compromised, I learned to develop my eye for detail. Thanks to my perfectionist boss, I grew accustomed to things being of a certain standard.

After 8 years with CHANEL, I was attracted to join a company hiring party planners. Alas, it wasn't what I thought it would be and decided that I should try other event companies. I won't boast and say that I turned down jobs offered by these companies but I was really looking for something more personal. The term "party planner" wasn't big then when I decided to start Best Events in late 2008. (yup at the start of the economic crisis!)

I was brand new in a market where so many event planners already exist. What was I thinking? I wasn't! I just jumped into the deep end of the ocean and learned to stay afloat!

Today, I'm still learning something new everyday and doing what I love- party planning!

I started this blog to share with you all things related to throwing parties as well as to write about the parties and events that I've done or have attended.

If you have a party that you'd like me to review, do write in and I'll see what I can do!

En fete! Let's celebrate!
