Well, the first one that pops into my head is Sarah’s birthday party. You know, she is benevolent. She always provides me with the support and guidance and someone who I can turn to when the chips are down. She has always been my rock, so I wanted to make it up for her in a way. So I decided to hold a birthday party for her. If my memory serves me right, the story goes back around 6 or 7 months ago. It was her birthday. But I knew next to nothing about how should I arrange a party. I was experiencing a crunch time. I was a bit antsy-pansy. But fortunately, with the help of my sister, who is always immutable and supportive, I could get the hang of it. She gave me some tips and tricks and recommended booking a café in the vicinity of our house, which was located in a tranquil ambience. The café had a lovely setting site and on the top floor there was a balcony that overlooked a stunning view of the gardens. I also asked them to design it with white and pink balloons and flowers. The next step was to purchasing her a proper gift. You know, at first I was in a quandary to purchase her a handmade bag or smart watch, as she is the fan of handmade crafts. But finally, I took a smart watch because I found it extremely multifunction. She could text messages and make a call with it. It also showed heart-beat rate and calculated the burnt calories during work-out. That was really amazing. At last, I invited our mutual friends, who are the life and soul of the party, someone who you lose track of time with them as they always crack hilarious jokes. You know, sometimes I laugh my head off. Fortunately, she was surprised and we had a veil of time together.
