My 21st Birthday!

Long time no blog, I know. Missed me? I'm sure you did.

I'll blog about a sweet memory of an event that happened recently; my birthday party!
Yes, I'm one of those people who get really excited about birthdays, it's a big deal.. It's a once a year kind of thing so you shall celebrate it. Celebrate the fact that you made it to another year successfully.

The first year when I came to the Netherlands, my birthday was kind'f a normal day no biggie, and the year after -which is last year- I went to Oman and had a pretty celebration with my family, but this year I thought... time for a big fancy party! To be honest, with all the chaos of studies and the tension I needed a different kind of break.. I needed the way we celebrate at home kind of a party, and so that's what I did.

Finding a party hall was the tough part of it all. Couldn't host the party at my place because I invited so many people. After an extensive search for a hall, I finally decided to throw the party at the international house in Deventer, which is utterly large and a legitimate place for a party!

The party was on Thurday [8th of May] and I had classes to attend, after the classes went to pick my friend from the station, it was raining badly [that's one thing about the Netherlands, it's sunny 5 minutes then it starts raining, and it goes on like that] went to the city center to find a balloon shop because, I had to have some of those helium balloons, they look pretty and I'm weak when it comes to pretty stuff.

The dress code was : Black, fancy. [to everyone] but since I'm the princess of the party I wore white-red Moroccan style dress, which added the Arabic flavor.

Went to the hall, decorated the place. 
People came over, talking here and there.. Socializing.
The cake was the best part of course, here take a look :-

[ After the party of course so much was left because I'm greedy xD - i kid- and I had the cake on breakfast for 3 days and was happy about it, haven't done that in ages!]

My Omani friends made my foreign friends dance Balochi and it was hilariously amazing how they all just went in dancing as if they know it, pretty impressing.

There was a part where everyone inhaled the helium balloons and had funny voices. I have my own balloon story which happened and was epic [ I think the story of the week?] which I would keep to myself and to those who were in the party, because .. you need some suspense and you need to feel sorry for not being at my party. [ Mean maybe? dunno, but if you ask me I will tell you the story I just don't want to publish it here ;) ] Also, since my party was drama-free this was a tiny itty bitty drama-like situation but thoroughly funny. [Thanks Stefan!]

My personal favorite part was the day after.. Because this is what I had to deal with:- 

Who would not like that?
right?
right?

Looking forward for the next birthday party!!

But first... let me enjoy being 21 [u thought i'd say let me take a selfie huh? huehue]  =D
