With the twenty first birthday looming around the corner, I toyed with the idea of just ditching the whole hoo-ha I'm-21-must-meet-all-my-friends-for-a-party thing and just sit back and relax with the people who care, on separate occasions. Then, I chanced upon my mum's message to my dear boyfriend, asking him if he had plan anything, and encouraged him to plan something fun without worrying about the expenses as it will all be paid for. Gosh, I was simply touched beyond words as the message, it meant so much to me that they cared. So of course I had to do something!
So, I've been really busy the past few days planning a real last minute party, picking a venue without costing my family's fortune, doing up the invites, sending them out, following up on them, getting a trustable caterer, choosing the cake, worrying and killing braincells in the process with all the rubbish that cropped up. GUESS WHAT. My freaking phone DIED and I couldn't switch it on, the day I wanted to sms my friends about the invites to the party. What the hell seriously, how timely. I've got myself a replacement phone but the contacts are GONE, zilch, vanished! I hope the traditional word-of-mouth circulation and the party invite e-mail will reach them before my party! T.T
I didn't want to have another chalet / function room party 'cos everyone is doing it. I had to figure an alternative and it definitely wasn't easy! With all the hotels in central booked 'cos of the hyped F1 happening over the weekend, I settled with an executive suite at the Sentosa Resort and Spa, a supposedly 5 start hotel! It looks pretty spacious, I hope it can fit my guests! My poor daddy is gonna have a hole in his pocket!
I sure hope my party will turn out fine with all the last minute invitations. I've like quite a number of friends that can't make it cos they have stuff on, or aren't sure if they can 100% make it blah blah. It's nerve wrecking. Not that I'm complaining or targetting against anyone but its a real bummer when my friends can't make it though, its like why am I even wasting my time, effort and money when my friends can't make it right? I mean, I guess everyone has their own commitments and all and my party is super last minute. Nonetheless, its like you prob are one of my good friends and I would really like you to be at my party so there's still this tinge of disappointment you know. Besides, I was there at your party despite 114123 other commitments too, no? It just makes me feel dumb spending a thousand for a potential disaster.
