I hate April!

April is the worst month for me, financially!

It starts with Hiba’s birthday on the 9th.
Then Rania’s on the 10th.
Then Wed’s on the 14th.
Then Aminah’s on the 18th.
And to make it even worse, Haifa shares the same birth date with Aminah!!!

Since Hiba joined the Twenties her gift had to be something special!! Special translates into a dent in my bank account!

And I ran out of ideas for Rania’s gift! It's so difficult to buy something for your close friend when she has a different taste than you and you know she would end up excahnging whatever you buy her!! Voucher was the only solution, so I ended giving her a voucher for Cleopatra spa.

Now I have to write about Rania’s birthday, cause Maya said I need to post about it!!!

Ghizlan & I decided to plan a surprise lunch for Rania. Her birthday this year fell on the same day as the Prophet’s birthday, and we were all off. We told her that we two are taking her for a long lunch, while we called the gang and told them to be at the restaurant before she shows up. That was the hardest part. Hauling the asses of these women at the agreed time! The last one showed up literally one minute before Rania!

Needless to say, Rania was happily surprised.

Now Maya didn’t want to me to post about this. Maya wanted me to post about what happened! All I could say is that after a couple of jugs of Margarita (Virgin! And Yes I’m Positive as the Bar was Closed for the occasion of the Prophet’s Day) we started drumming on the table, and then singing….and recording our live karaoke on my mobile as ring tones for each of the “ladies”, while Aminah did some mobile-filiming!

It was a fun lunch! Luckily we were not kicked out as we provided live entertainment for the other restaurant goers!! Oh and Maya was not with us!
