Old Friends..

My schoolmates has been a very loyal follower for my blog. They was excited as I have found back my 'Long Lost Friend' after 17 year!

Nik, Sham, Lokman and Faizul.. have been with them since I was in Standard 6, 12 years old. We've been together in school, been sharing a lot of tips and been sharing secrets among us. But Nik shared the most with me than others. He knew almost every details in my life.. my love and my hate.

Received a comment from Sham, asking me why I didn't have their photo in my blog.. wanna see their picture in the cyber. What a request! Well, to please everybody, I had to dig all my old photo albums! I've downloaded our school picture here. : )

For those who has not seen me in my school uniform before, with my ugly glasses and my terrible hair style.. please do not laugh! I repeat, do not laugh! If you were to laugh, not in front of me ya!

To Sham, I hope you are happy with the picture and as per your request.. sorry we don't have a latest picture together. Hope this is fine with you!

Sad No More!

After the whole day waiting for his text, finally his reply I received at 11.42pm. It really makes me smile.. He keep on apologizing to me for not replying my text, he said 'I am very sorry. My mobile was in silence mode without vibrate. I have been looking for my mobile the whole day! Finally found it under my bed.. thank God!'

No need to be sorry.. instead, I should apologize to him for having that thought, the other way round. Thinking that he got bored with all my text I sent him. Anyway, it makes me smile each time I think of him.. :)

Hmmm..??

I don't know what had happen to my 'Long Lost Friend'.. been sending him a few text messages but haven't get any reply. The last text he sent me was yesterday at 8.21pm while I'm having my break fast. Then at about 11.00pm on the same night, I sent another text.. no reply.

Today, I sent another text at 11.20pm.. but still no answer! I wonder, if he is ok from the motorbike accident the other day? Or is he having his rest right now and don't want to be disturb? Or if he is out of mobile credit to reply my text? What's wrong??

I admit that I felt happy when each time I received his text and it really makes my day. But since I haven't heard from him, I was wondering, what is actually happen to him.. :(

An Overseas Call..

My mobile rang at 12.18am from a private number.. it looked like a call from overseas. I didn't expecting any overseas call, or maybe Richard or Joe calling me from London? Picked-up the phone and a strange voice saying hello.. 'Who's this?' I asked. 'Hey, you tak kenal I lagi??' the voice said. 'Sorry, who's this??' I don't have a clue who's calling.

The voice replied, 'Chris la..'. Oh my gosh, a call from Chris Limp, what a surprise! He called me from Macau! Don't know on what occasion, probably he miss his friends here in KL. We talked like we have not been talking to each other for a long time, by the way, he was in KL in June if I was not mistaken. A group of us went for a lunch with him. Or probably he is in a depression and need someone that he can talk to?

He told me, he is no longer working in Venetian Casino Resort and instead, he is in The Westin Macau now. Better offer from The Westin for a position as a Duty Manager. He was depressed at the moment, he's the only Duty Manager on duty right now, the Senior Duty Manager is on leave and the Front Office Manager was on business trip. So he has to run the show solo! Pity him..

I asked him if he miss us and asked him to come back to KL, but he said it is too early for him to leave Macau and really really miss all of us in KL. He'll be back early next year for Chinese New Year.. hope I be able to meet him again. Chris is such a great friend, funny and a loving person. And he is a good looking Chinese guy too! :) If you read this Chris, I bukan nak puji you but it's the fact!

Chris told me that most of his guests in Westin Macau has been to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Kuala Lumpur. And told him, Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur are among the best hotel in MOHG group beside The Oriental Bangkok. So proud of it!! And Chris proudly told me, he is also representing Mandarin Oriental Hotel Kuala Lumpur as well!! Shouldn't him proudly representing Westin now? :P

We talk for almost 15 minutes before we said goodbye. Aww.. I really miss you Chris..

Breaking Fast In Crown Plaza Hotel.

Since last week, been told by my sister that I have to work in morning shift on Saturday, 27th September (today) as she had arranged for another break fast gathering in Crown Plaza Hotel. But this time, it for her own family and her favourite younger brother (that's me by the way! :P ). I been asked to invite my good friend as well, Izat (you're lucky!).

Finish my shift at 3.30pm today and rushed to the supermarket to buy some groceries before I leave to Crown Plaza Hotel.

Reached at 7.05pm, I was late and everybody is waiting for me. The dinner was good and the buffet was 'ok'. As usual, all those Malaysian food, Japanese buffet, Seafood buffet (lots of lobster and oyster! Yucks!!) and the dessert counter. But my special favourite was the Custard Pancake With Ice-cream.. yummy! : )

Thank God He's OK..

While I'm resting on my break time at about 11.20am, a text message came into my mobile in-box. Message from my 'Long Lost Friend'.. 'Hi, hmm.. it's a long story last night. I met with a small motorbike accident in AKLEH, bruises and few cuts on my right body, got a quite deep cut at my ankle, elbow and lap. But Alhamdulillah, don't worry, overall I'm still ok. Having a rest now at home but it really hurts!'

Quicky, I reply to his text asking if he is ok. He said he is doing ok a bit now than last night. 'There's a greace on the road and it was slippery. I lost control! Lucky, there is no car speeding while the accident or else, I could have been hit by a car! Then, Hari Raya Aidilfitri will become 'Hari Raya Korban! He.. he..' he replied.

I was so worried after I read the first text that he sent me. But he keep telling me that he is ok, nothing to be worried about. And thank me for being very concerned about him.

Seriously, I was very worried. Thank God, nothing had happen to him last night from the accident. I wish I am near him now, I wish I could be there and take care of him.. at least take him to the hospital. After almost 30 minutes we communicate via text messages, I let him rest..

It is another 4 more days to Hari Raya, I wonder how will he celebrate it.. Pity him.

Home Sweet Home..

We had our first briefing in our whole new renovated office at 6.45am today.. looked very new and it smells new too! Fuad, the Duty Manager has been given the opportunity to cut the ribbon for the first briefing session. Mmm.. for me, the space in our new office was a bit too small to compare from the old one, and I wonder how it be would the afternoon shift where there will be a lot more of us.. everybody will be jammed packed!

Can't Get You Out Of My Head!

All I've been thinking today was him! Why I can't get him out of my mind?? Even I know that he will not be the same person as before.. but, he really have a special place in my heart.

Text him at 12.00am, waited very long to have his reply. 15 minutes later he replied, 'I'm sorry. I'm in a discussion with my team management. Will text you later'. So, I didn't reply to his text.. don't want to disturb his meeting.

At 1.55am, a text received. 'Just finished. Tired and sleepy! What are you doing?' he said. 'Nothing, watching TV.' I replied. 'Working tomorrow?' he asked. I replied, 'Yup, at 12.00pm. Where are you now? Have you reach home?'. He replied, 'Just reached home, about to go into the house now. I'm tired & sleepy la. Will wash-up and zzz. You?'. Then we said goodnight..

From that point of time, I smiled when each time he appeared in my mind. He had changed me, he gave me the feeling that make me in a happy mood.. But, how long will this be? What will happen next?? Mmm.. why am I feeling this way? What is wrong with me??

Memories... back then.

Had a quick YM chat with Faarhad last night for a few minutes, then he logged-out, got things that he need to attend to. But it was a sweet and short chat after 17 years..

Got online at 1.00pm today right after I woke-up from bed, saw Faarhad online and buzzed him. Chatting with him was so much fun trying to catch up each other after a very long years. He had achieved a lot in his life especially in football & futsal, his passion since in school. I still remember, one day he had to walk home from school with a torned school pants.. because of, playing football before the final bell ring. It was so funny! But now, he's a football & futsal coach. Isn't that great?

We had about almost 2 1/2 hours chat today talking about each other life, school day memories and shared a few advises.. I am so glad to have him in my life for the second time around. We were so click! There's a kind of chemistry between us.

His final text before he log out was 'But Ishak, one thing I remember now, is when we used to walk back from school together...' I replied, 'I never forget..'. 'And how much I used to feel so attached to you back then..' he said. I was so touched.. he still remember all the sweet times we had together back then.. :)

New Look!

Our department's back office is still under renovation since 2 weeks ago. A lot of changes here and there, a lot of new things in and out.. I had a sneak preview this afternoon and it looked great! But the space was a bit small now after a few cubical has been installed. Front Office Manager's office has been moved to another corner, new flooring has been installed and new furniture came.

It is 95% ready now and it will take a few more days to shift all our stuff from level 2 into the new office.. I can't wait to have the first briefing in our new office.. with the new look! :) To our ex-colleagues, what do you think?

Long Lost Friend..

I've been receiving a lot of text from this unknown number.. since last week. When I ask for the name, he just don't wanna let me know. He said 'Time will tell..' and I replied, 'Well, go to hell!'.

But last night, text from the same unknown number received, it says 'U askd.. sincerely, I hv no intention 2 cause any inconvenience or discmfort.. just wanted 2 say hello 2 a long lost friend.. we go way back. Can U guess who I am?'. I told him, I don't have a clue.

He replied, 'I can't remember the last time I spoke to U. I met a friend that day at an iftar (break fast) gathering, I got ur number from him. MBS..? Hmm..'. It's getting weird! I have a lot of friends while in school and still doesn't have a clue. It doesn't ring the bell at all!

Then another text received, 'Ikhlas, pls accept my apologies, if I'm offending U or if ever I offended U b4. Hmm.. me? Class 4Sc2, 5Sc2.. Mr Poovan football masters favourite student.. Can you guess now?' Suddenly, someone pops up in my head. While I was in school, there is only one guy that always speaks English with me. The guy that I always fancy since I was in Secondary 1! It can't be true.. we've have not been talking to each other for a very long time over a small fight of jealousy! Can't be him!

I just tried my luck and replied, 'Is this Faarhad?'. He sent me a smiley :) and my guessed right! He is Faarhad! Gosh, I couldn't believe it myself.. out of sudden, he contact me again?!

'I was touched, you can even spell my name correctly even after 17 years!'. Then the chat began.. He said, 'Do U know that I tried to get in touch with U many times? Heard U were working at Legend Hotel, tried contacting but was never successful.. then I heard U moved, but I was clueless as to where U moved..' Another text coming in, 'I'm doing fine and looking after mama. I am not married yet and still single, sister just got married last year, she has a baby girl now.. it's tough being the eldest, having to settle and safeguard family matters at all cost, but I guess that's life. Now that my sister's ok, maybe my time will come soon, though I can guarantee U it won't be that soon. In life, U tend to hold on to great memories of people U cherish. That's how I remember U.. remember, not remembered :)'. 'Yes, the memories were great..' he said..

I was so touched, he still had me in his memories.. that is something. Yeah, we've shared a few sweet memories together while in school.. going and coming back from school together, have fun in the class together and a lot more! Most of my friends in school knew that we shared something special together. There are a lot of memories that I still cherish until now. He really means something to me still..

We exchanged our YM ID and made appointment to be online so that we can chat more. I still can't forget about our English monthly test while in Form 3.. it really makes us even closer than before! That's how this journey starts..

Keeping The Title..

Had a meeting today for Annual Dinner & Dance performance, and this year we've been planning big.. bigger than last year! Mogi will still be our choreographer this year as he had done very good last year.. we wont the title for the first time ever!! And has put down Pacifica Grill & Bar as the winner for 2 straight years! Isn't that awesome? (as Pohling used to say!)

The meeting went good, planned a lot and still planning for the more big stuff (it's a secret!). This year, the theme is Shanghai Night and we will be performing a Chinese Dance.. not the regular Chinese dance but something that will make people drop their jaws down! We believe that Mogi will deliver it.. and he better be!! :) We even set-up a committee members for our department to take care of the rest of the stuff for that special night so that it will flow smoothly..

Mmm.. can't wait to start the first dancing class.. but it will be in the raya holiday. Aaww.. I will have to drop my plan for attending the open houses then! Sad!

Interesting day..

Yatie recommended us to have our break fast together today since her husband is on off day today. The problem is, where to have our break fast? Restaurant or Hotel? Ting!.. I remember now, I read about a Thai restaurant called Chitralada Palace in Great Eastern Mall in the newspaper yesterday. Perfect for breaking fast with all those delicious Thai food.. mango salad, squid salad, mango with glutinous rice, green curry chicken.. only at RM55.00 nett. Simply Thai-rific! I can't wait till 7.12pm!



They accepted my suggestion and made reservation for 10 persons right away. Azian, Zahir, Allie, Achat, Yatie and husband decide to join.. that is good enough. Meeting point, Great Eastern Mall latest 7.00pm. Everybody arrived right on time and the last person arriving was Yatie and husband. Food was great and we had a lovely time in the restaurant. I really enjoyed their Squid Salad even though I had an allergy on seafood now, I don't wanna miss it! I tried everything on the buffet line accept prawns and fishes.. just don't like those seafood!

After dinner, we went for a window shopping. Bought a new bedlinen from Aussino, it's black & white stripe and I only pay RM84.00 instead of RM139.00 for 40% discount.. why not!

Reach home, online with Rahman, Abang Ehsan and Rosli via Skype. Talking and video call from them is so much fun! It has been about a year now I haven't speak with Rosli, he was so busy in Ireland now. Lucky, Rahman was online with him before and ask him to do a conference call with us at 11.00pm tonight. It was a relief talking to Rosli for almost 1 1/2 hours today (and with Rahman and Abang Ehsan too!), miss him a lot since he been away!


I still remember, he used to visit me every year during Hari Raya after work but now, he was so far away.. but he'll be back in January. Planned to go for a picnic with the rest of our group. Can't wait it for the old time sake! Can't wait to meet Rosli again after 2 years in Ireland!! Can't wait to have fun again just like we used to had before!!

Drama Ihsan.. tangkap leleh..!

Hari ni, aku memang malas nak keluar kemana-mana. Balik je kerja, terus balik rumah.. planned nak kemas rumah, sapu sampah, cuci carpet tapi.. hampeh! : ) Bila dah buka laptop ni, memang tak jadi la apa yang aku plan pada awalnya! Dok mengadap laptop, dok download software, dok melayari wed.. langsung tak ingat nak buat benda lain dah!!

Pukul 5.30 petang, Ateh and family sampai. Semangat nak teruskan plan tadi terbantut sikit sebab bila anak-anak saudara dah ada kat rumah aku ni, mesti bersepah. So, tak der makna la aku mengemas nanti! Mata tak tertahan masa Ateh & Abang Azli keluar nak beli juadah berbuka puasa, aku rehatkan kepala dan mata atas sofa.. terus terlelap sampai pukul 9.30 malam.. sedap betul dapat tidurkan??Bangun tidur, terus aku menerkam KFC yang Ateh beli untuk berbuka puasa tadi.. tak la rasa excited sangat nak makan KFC hari ni sebab baru je malam semalam makan KFC di Bukit Bintang dengan Zahir. Tapi aku gagahkan juga.. habiskan makan ayam Spicy Crunch. Jam 10.00 malam, Ateh and family minta diri nak balik Rawang.

Aku teruskan malam yang boring ni sambil menonton drama 'Ihsan' dalam slot cerekarama kat TV3. Drama ni dah lama disiarkan, tapi diulang tayang mungkin atas permintaan orang ramai. Bagus betul drama ni, sekurang-kurangnya dapat menginsafkan penonton.. dan aku sekali. Lakonan Zamarul Hishan, Kartina Aziz & Abu Bakar Juah (bapa Zarith kalau you all nak tau!) ni betul-betul mendatangkan kesan pada penontonnya.. Aku terus teringat pad asemua ahli keluarga aku especially arwah mak dan abah juga Syam (adik aku yang pertama) yang dah kembali ke rahmahtullah.. al-fatihah untuk mereka..


Juga aku teringat kat Zarith bila tengok bapa dia (Abu Bakar Juah) berlakon dalam drama ni.. lama tak dengar cerita dari dia. Aku terus hantar SMS dan kami berbalas-balas SMS.. nasib baik Zarith masih simpan nombor aku!


So, pada siapa-siapa yang belum menonton cerekerama Ishan ni, cuba-cuba la cari peluang menonton drama ni.. memang bagus. Pada siapa-siapa yang lembut hati tu, kalau menonton drama ni, sediakan tisu sebab pasti korang tangkap leleh bila nak sampai di penghujung drama nanti!! : )

p/s: Sejak dua menjak ni, aku rindu sangat ngan semua family aku.. alangkah seronoknya kalau kita dapat berkumpul ramai-ramai semula.. nak-nak lagi nak dekat raya ni.. = (

Hunny!

Semalam hari Khamis, macam biasa Offday aku.. tak kerja tapi banyak kerja nak kena buat! Pukul 3.00 petang, aku keluar rumah menuju ke Low Yat Plaza, nak beli assesori laptop dan cable laptop yang rosak ni. Kopak jugak aku RM160.00! Harapan nak simpan duit, retak.. belum hancur lagi yeh! Sebab masih ada lagi sikit duit yang aku dah budget untuk raya ni : ) Terima kasih kat Rahman yang sanggup curi tulang dari kerja nak temankan aku. Dia pun nak survey assesori laptop untuk laptop baru dia.. wah..!!

Kemudian, aku kerumah Zahir atas alasan dah berjanji dengan dia untuk bawa dia bersama berbuka puasa di rumah Sani atas perancangan Senor. Sampai kat Pangsapuri Mawar, Bandar Baru Sentul, Sani pulak tak der kat rumah. Dia ke bawah membeli juadah berbuka puasa. Aku, Senor & Zahir dok la menunggu diluar rumah Sani selama 30 minit. Bila aku hubungi mobile Sani, katanya on the way naik.. tapi sampai setengah jam aku menunggu kat luar rumah dia ni, apa cerita?? Dia naik tangga ke, ke tingkat 14?? Kalau betul, boleh kurus Sani dibuatnya!!

Seorang demi seorang muncul dimuka pintu rumah Sani untuk bersama-sama berbuka puasa.. semuanya kawan-kawan lama yang hadir.. Pak Itam, Abob, Bedah, Ejay, Naza, Senor, Rahman, Azmi, Abang Boh dan Kak Era.. semua ni muka-muka yang susah aku nak jumpa selalu. Iya la, masing-masing dah ada hal masing-masing.. tapi malam ni, memang seronok berkumpul semula.

Lepas berbuka, aku ke rumah Senor di Pangsapuri Melur bersebelahan dengan pangsapuri yang Sani duduki. Rahman nak guna laptop aku untuk mengaktifkan Stremyx yang baru dia langgan. Dapat juga la aku lelapkan mata seketika atas sofa sambil Zahir menjahit manik dibaju kurung maknya.. glamour betul mak si Zahir ni beraya!! He.. he..

Senor ada membela seekor kucing jalanan yang dia kutip tak lama dulu. Hunny namanya.. tapi bila ada orang yang tak dikenali masuk rumah, kelam-kabut dia bertempiaran menyorok! Penakut dengan orang!! Anaknya, Abbie, jinak dengan orang yang tak dikenali. Asyik menggesel je dengan aku! Dah la aku ni allergie ngan kucing sekarang ni, kalau aku layan sangat si Abbie ni, nanti muka dan badan aku gatal-gatal kerana alahannya.

Yang kelakarnya si Hunny ni, badannya gemuk betul! Tak tau la apa Senor beri si Hunny ni makan. Kalay Hunny berdiri, kaki dah tak rapat, sekali pandang dah macam bull dog! Kah.. kah.. kah.. Kalau korang tengok Hunny ni berjalan, lagi kelakar.. dah tak macam kucing yang lain, selalu catwalk tapi Hunny ni dah dogwalk! Jalan kaki terkangkang, dah tak larat nak membawa badan dia agaknya! : )







Cuba tengok gambar-gambar ni, kelakar tak si Hunny tu?? Kalau dia baring atas lantai, dia
terlentang dengan empat-empat kaki keatas! Korang pernah tak tengok kucing tidur terlentang?! : ) Ha.. lain dari yang lain si Hunny ni.. sama macam tuannya, si Senor tu!! He.. he.. Kadang-kadang aku kesian tengok Hunny ni, dah la berbadan besar, jalan pun tak larat.. macam kucing obesiti (masalah kegemukan) pun ada! Tapi Senor sayang sangat dengan Hunny, dicium-ciumnya, diborak-borakan nya si Hunny. Senor tu mesti ada keistimewaan berinteraksi dengan kucing kan?? Hairan.. hairan..





Teringin..

Balik kerja semalam, tiba-tiba aku teringat kat satay Kajang. Tau-tau je la aku ni kalau bab makanan.. tak suka lepas peluang! Apa lagi, aku yang sedang memandu dari Jalan Tun Razak, terus masuk ke simpang menuju highway ke Ampang. Perjalanan aku dari sini lancar.. Tiba juga akhirnya kat Haji Samuri Satay Kajang cawangan Taman Melati.. betul-betul tepi highway dari Taman Melawati/Hulu Klang menuju ke Gombak/Batu Caves.

Dengan rasa teruja, aku membuat pesanan 10 cucuk satay ayam dan 10 cucuk satay daging, bersama sebiji nasi impit. Sedapkan?? Setelah 15 minit menunggu, akhirnya giliran aku tiba untuk mengambil pesanan sebentar tadi lalu membuat bayaran. Sebaik saja bungkusan satay tadi aku genggam, bibir aku tersenyum puas! Tak sabar nak sampai ke rumah, nak menjamah keenakan satay Kajang Haji Samuri ni! Mmm.. dah lama gak tak makan satay Kajang Haji Samuri ni..

Dalam perjalan menuju ke kereta, terhenti pandangan aku ke gerai-gerai kecil sepanjang kaki lima disekitar bangunan kedai satay kajang tadi. Gerai-gerai menjual kuih-muih, ayam percik and macam-macam lagi. Selain tu, ada jual air tebu rupanya.. kalau pekena satay Kajang berlawan air tebu memang lazat! Terliur aku!


Aku tak buang masa lagi, lalu aku singgah di gerai yang menjual air tebu.. harga boleh tahan, sejug air tebu berharga RM4.50 dan segelas besar air tebu pula berharga RM2.50. Kalau dipasar Ramadhan Greenwood, harga jauh lebih berpatutan.. sejug cuma RM3.50 aje! Nak tak nak, aku kena beli juga sebab kalau nak singgah di Greenwood, takut tak ada kawasan letak kereta. Pastu, ramai pulak orang kat situ. Mmm.. aku beli jugak air tebu tadi! Yang penting, selera mesti di penuhi.. supaya tak kempunan nanti!

Kat sini aku nak minta maaf sangat-sangat pada Joe (hope you read this Joe!) , aku berjanji nak bawa dia makan satay Kajang tempoh hari.. tapi tak kesampaian. Tiba-tiba petang tadi, aku terima SMS dari Joe yang dia akan bertolak balik ke Manchester pada malam itu juga. Kesian kat Joe, jangan kempunan sudah ya! : ) Nasib baik aku tak terbuka cerita yang petang tadi aku singgah di satay Kajang pada Joe, masa dia tolong downloadkan window software pada laptop baru ni pada malamnya . Thanks Joe!


Cerita pasal laptop baru ni, apa pendapat korang tentang laptop ni (gambar kat bawah tu!)? Aku tak nak cerita banyak.. comment please dari siapa-saipa yang pernah guna laptop ni. : )

Break Fast With Joe, Reed & Zahir.

Had no plan today and Zahir suggested to go for a shopping in Sungei Wang Plaza. Bought a few DVD just for my collection. We went to Seed boutique, I really like one of the front zipper sweater with fur on the collar.. it was so cool and stylish. The damage is RM199.00.. mmm.. the pricetag is still reasonable. Have to wait until they having a sale.. so it will be cheaper! Yeah.. I'm a cheapskate now.. need to save money for other things.



Later, Joe called and invited us for break fast (I'm not fasting today! :P) in a Thai restaurant at Jalan Changkat Bukit Bintang. At that time I was in Zahir's place resting on his bed and had fallen asleep.
However, the restaurant was closed and we made our way to Chee Meng Hainan Chicken Rice.. my favourite chicken rice in the whole Kuala Lumpur! The restaurant was fulled but the owner's son managed to get us a table inside.. probably he looked at my face and realised that I am their regular customer. A very simple dinner today, chicken rice with roasted chicken, mango salad and Kai Lan with salted fish. Yummy! I was so fulled as I ate 1901 hotdog before the dinner!




After dinner, I was thinking to buy a new laptop..had my eyes on this Toshiba laptop cost at RM2,399.00. Asked for some advised from a few friends and my sister. Received a good comments from them on Toshiba laptop and probably I will buy it soon. Excited!! Not much of happening today.. it is now 12.30am and I need to go to bed, don't want to wake up late again like today! FYI, I'm in 7.00am shift tomorrow! Pull stop!!

7 Kawah Dinner At Marriott Putrajaya.



The day has come for our family's annual buka puasa gathering for the year of 2008. Again Marrriott Putrajaya, just like last year.. still with their '7 kawah (kuali besar)' theme this year.. the gulai kawah which the head chef is very proud of. Food was marvelous and the dinner was great.. it is always fun to be around family once in a while.

My niece was so happy that I managed to changed my shift just to join them, besides she had a good news as well. She had introduced me to her new boyfriend.. and my sister was so cool about it, she always did! I wish my late mother was like that!



Besides that the 7 kawah of gulai (curry), I really enjoyed Marriott Putrajaya's dessert counter. They had 101 ABC (Ais Kacang) with a snow mountain.. 101 type of condiments for ABC and ice-cream! Isn't that amazing?? It was a DIY ais kacang stand. Yes, it is not a typo, Marriott Putrajaya has 101 different things you can out in your ais kacang! From all kinds of nuts and jellies to fresh fruits, red beans, syrups galore and lots more. There's even ice-cream and different sauces at the side for you to pile on. To many choices, to little stomach!!

I was fallen asleep after the dinner while everybody was catching-up with their gossips and latest news. Look at the picture of me, taken by my niece while I was sleeping at the dinner table. I just couldn't help it, I worked in the morning shift and I was so tired.. I didn't realised it happen!



After the dinner, as usual, our photo sessions. Look at us, what a happy family..! I really had fun..! Waiting for Hari Raya now.. and they will celebrate Hari Raya this year at my place. Pity, I have to work! Errhh..!! : (
