2nd Eid Party

so alhamdulilah we had the 2nd Annual Eid party on Saturday and i think it was successful! we had around 154 ladies there..all ready to party and have fun:)

we decorated the hall early but we didn't finish on time cus the guy opened the hall for us late ugh..mashallah many ladies were there on time! to our good luck!

we started by reciting Quran. then explaining the program, some jokes, and finding some hidden talents among the audience! that was really fun..it was nice to see the ladies happy and not afraid to sing and have fun! mashallah there was this lady who was singing i think to Um Kulthum and she really had an amazing voice mashallah...maybe we should contact her to sing next year!

after that it was time for Mughrib prayer..and then we did a play;)

the play was about how the women committee are struggling to plan things for the ladies, and how the women are being negative and not helping us;) me n the ladies from the committee were the actress...we had to play ourselves after the original 4 actresses couldn't.. we were 8. we had to meet few times before the party to rehearse..after i finished my 1st part at the play, i went off the stage to see my friends acting their part..i thought i'll get a different feeling wathcing with the crowd. to my surprise, one lady came (i never saw her before) and said.." we are here to have fun not to listen to some la3y"!!! i was shocked!! the whole play was about some ladies being negative and not supporting us!!! I just smiled and said ok n walked away to the stage to do my other scene!! the last scene was like that, the women committee are having a meeting after finishing one event..the president is asking us to plan this other future event, and here i take the mic and i talk about how hard is it to plan those events n that i wana quit! but after what that lady told me, i actually added some lines..like i wish the ladies would appreciate what we are doing more..its such hard work..blah blah then i said my line about i wana quite. i think that lady felt bad afterward because she came before leaving and told me thank you for this party..we had a good time!

i think the play hit the right nerve to what we deal with and most importantly, the ladies felt it.

after that, we did the Fashion show, some music, and dinner time. Then some funny quizzes with prizes, and then time for the raffle tickets.

then it was time for sweet and dancing, of course some ladies have to do something to make us irritated...those ladies were upset cus they wanted the DJ to put more Moroccan songs! the DJ already put 4! then they said : oh no that was Tunisian!! i was gona lose it!!!! it was like talking to little kids!

Then around 9:30 we started cleaning up...

alhamdulilah..other than that! everyone had a great time..and the food was good, it was from Al Noor restaurant. :)

inshallah next year we can plan another one :)
