Birthday Bitch

Dudes and dudettes, I have a massive Weekend coming up this time. Saturday night I have to go to a 21st bday party (dinner and dance) to be held in a grand hall with 200+ guests! Can ya believe that now? I never knew people took their 21st b'day so seriously. My 21st was a very low key event. I got a cake for my work mates (they got a cake for me too hehe), butchered it, ate it and went to sleep - yeah boring. Also the Invitation for this guy's b'day party was a 6-page booklet, with pics of him since he was a baby, poems, dedications etc etc. My mum, sis and I were quite amused by that pretty unique Invitation 'booklet', and I asked mum why she didnt do all that for my 16th or the 21st *in total bitchy-n-whingy-daughter style ya know, just to annoy her*. She said 'o well if I raised you 2 with this kinda luxury then I don't think you'd be home this late at night sitting next to me'. LOL great answer mum! Well to each his own, but I think throwing such a huge party for your kid's 21st is just a show and a total waste of money. Don't get me wrong, I aint jealous...just that I'm a simple person when it comes to such events. I have already told my mum that if/when (a big IF that is) I get married (IF it ever happens in this life), it would be a very low key event...near the beach, just family and very close friends only. Tell me, what did you do on your 21st b'day? (btw this first pic is a real 21st bday cake for a guy).

Damnnnn I'd feel 'old' being at a 21st bday party with alot of chattery youngsters including teenagers, but hey I'm not that old ok ;-). And there's gonna be alot of people in my age group (close friends of our's) as well as as mums and dads too, for my mum's company that is hehe. And there's a theme too. Since the b'day boy is of Curry decent (Aussie slang for Sri Lankans/Indians), the theme they have chosen is 'Indian'. Couldn't they have chosen something different for a change! *rolling eyes*. But there's gonna be alot of Aussies too, hence the Curry theme I guess. So that means I have to wear something Indian...a saree perhaps, and most of my friends told me they were gonna wear the saree too. I have a pretty Apple green and Sky blue georgette saree with a sleeveless top...also I have a beautiful Red one with Silver threadwork and a traditional sleeved top. So which one girls? And remember it's an evening event. Either way I'm gonna freeze to death in a saree cos it's bloody cold here at the moment *imagines herself dead in a saree on the front page of Sydney Morning Herald*. What were they thinking ha! o well, I'd just pretend I'm warm and keep smiling and talking, until someone would have to come and break the icicles on my body before I pass out in Hypothermia. Rescue me guys!

There was another 21st b'day party supposed to have been held last week, that later got cancelled. That was one of my cousins' 21st, and can you believe her theme was 'Arabian Nights'. And she said that no one would be allowed in if they didn't follow the theme, including old aunts and uncles. And I asked her what if I dressed like a Date (eating dates)? LOL! Thank God it got cancelled cos I refuse to be dressed as Genie or a Camel and drive a car! Imagine the horror I'd face with total embarassment if I got stopped by cops for breath-testing...cops finding a Genie or one big giant Date or a Camel on the wheel? I'm sure I'd be arrested on the basis of looking super dumb and ofcourse for crying!

btw I have no idea what I should get for the b'day boy. He's 21 ofcourse, of Curry decent, tall, dark, handsome, loves music, has his own car, very friendly, polite, goes to Uni, has more than what a 21yr old needs in life, talks endlessly on his mobile fone with God knows who! Would that be enough for you to suggest a gift idea? :). Yeah I know, that leaves me with nothing to give him. Hey have a good one guys!
