FLY FM TURNS 1-YEAR OLD

What can every parents expect when their new-born baby turns 1 year old? There will be a huge birthday celebration to mark that auspicious day.

So, FLY FM celebrated its 1st birthday party last Saturday in Sunway Xtreme Park.

The rain stopped at around 5pm and so my fellow blogger friends decided to have an early dinner in Asia Cafe, SS 15 Subang Jaya. But it started to rain heavily again in the midst of our dinner.

Though the rain much later about 7.30pm, it didn't dampened our hope to go for the event. We were actually there at 7pm to collect the tickets and start clicking the cameras.

Here are the products:
