In a jubilant celebration, CEO of Berjaya Times Square and executive director of Berjaya Assets, Chryseis Tan together with husband and deputy chairman of Naza TTDI, Faliq Nasimuddin revealed the gender of their first child at a pastel party fit for royalty at The Ritz-Carlton Residences Kuala Lumpur. The expectant parents shared that they would soon be welcoming a daughter, surprising 98% of their family and friends that had bet on a boy.
The happy couple were dressed to match in white, according to the theme of the shower. Meanwhile, several guests including grandparents from both sides wore blue, presumably in accordance with their guess about the baby’s gender. Guests were also asked to place their votes into two Gucci bags, blue for a baby Faliq or pink for a baby Chrys.
A dreamy affair, the shower featured an assortment of décor and adorable desserts in baby pink and blue including a 3-tiered Mickey and Minnie Mouse cake, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, macarons and balloons set against a gorgeous backdrop of white blooms.
In a climactic ceremony, grandparents Tan Sri Vincent Tan, Puan Sri Esther Tan and Puan Sri Zaleha Ismail were presented with three gargantuan black balloons prepared for the grand reveal. As they popped the props in unison, a flurry of pink confetti rained down on their surprised faces.
Chryseis Tan and Faliq Nasimuddin are expected to welcome their new bundle of joy at the end of June or early July, and we wish the new parents all the best and hope for a safe and easy delivery.
