post-party

rania's bday party was a pleasant one. the kids enjoyed themselves and some actually do enjoy watching the kids having the time of their lives. obviously, the big kids tend to win in all games and rania's best performance was when she got 2nd place in musical chairs. she hardly moves and the organizer needs to 'move' her in order not to break the chain. she received a lot of books as presents and there was this one huge, huge box which i think she knew what it was coz on top of that big box was one unwrapped 'barbie's pink convertible' and i saw she kept glancing at the box every 10 minutes. she has always wanted that convertible but i never entertained her request. and now finally, she got it and what a relief she must have felt!
the only thing that upsets me was the cake. many complained that it wasnt as good as last year's. the decoration was done impressively nice but the taste was not so good. what a big dissappointment to me coz i really wanted ppl to enjoy the cake. in the end, a big portion still left and i persuaded my uncle to bring it home. all in all, it was a memorable one for rania (i hope so...) and a nice one for me coz i gotta catch up on my friends. thank u for coming and thank u for making it merrier with ur presence.
rania obviously cant wait to go home coz she needs to unwrap all those presents fast! but she fell asleep in the car and by the time she woke up, we were ready to go out for dinner. u should see that she was so, so restless during dinner. she juz cant wait to go home! imagine all those presents lying, waiting to be unwrapped. we let her play until 1 in the morning. and the next day, i cant believe that she was still so full of enthusiasm when she woke me up at 7.00 (on a sunday!) and said, 'semalam janji lepas bangun terus turun bawah kan...' honestly, i never made such promises! rania, rania.........
