Happy Birthday, Mak.

Entri ini khas untuk mak saya.

31.05.1957. Mak dilahirkan ke dunia. Sungguh saya pun tak tau bahawa Rahmah Hassan akan menjadi emak saya 26 tahun kemudiannya.

I was born the eldest. Bapa saya namanya Zaini Noah. Dalam kad pengenalan dia masih menggunakan alamat rumah asalnya kat Jalan Lim Poon tu. Tak tau la dah tukar ke belum. Dah lama tak tengok kad pengenalan ayah.

Mak penah cerita, dulu, masa mak nak pegi Haji (masa tu belum kawin lagi dengan ayah), ayah yang dulu masa tu boyfrennya hantar dia juge ke airport Subang. Ayah tunggu sampai kapal terbang yang mak naik take off sambil melambai-lambai tangan ke arah kapal terbang tersebut. Bila mak balik dari Haji, ayah cerita. Baru mak tahu. Bukannya mak nampak pun ayah lambai masa tu. Masa tu saya tahu, masa muda-muda, ayah saya cam poyo jugak rupanya.

Mak saya tak macam mak-mak orang lain yang belajar tinggi. Mak belajar sampai Darjah 6 je. Sekolah agama sampai Darjah Khas (bagi orang yang bukan asal Johor, sijil Darjah Khas ni laku tau kalau nak jadi cikgu sekolah agama Johor, taraf dia same macam pelajaran Agama SPM, malah lebih lagi). Dulu mak penah tunjuk sijil Darjah Khas dia, besar yang amat! Rasanya tak muat nak masuk file saiz A4. Lepas habis sekolah, mak belajar menjahit kat Pesta. Pastu mak amek upah menjahit. Sampai sekarang mak masih menjahit, tapi limited to family members je. Mak saya sangat terer menjahit. Saya selalu ada intention nak belajar menjahit dari dia, tapi tak penah pun dibuat. Tapi, masa kecik2, time cuti sekolah, saya ada belajar buat cross-stitch, knitting dan patchwork dari mak. Saya berjaya dengan ekselennya dalam bidang cross-stitch dan patchwork, tapi walaupun saya suka selak-selak buku knitting mak, saya masih tak reti-reti nak mengait.

Mak saya pun pandai memasak. Saya rasa, semua mak pandai memasak. Lagi tua seorang mak itu, lagi pandai dia memasak. Mak saya boleh rasa jek ape-ape makanan, pastu dia boleh cube nak masak. Dia juga suke kalau makan sesuatu makanan yang baru dan 2-3 hari lepas tu, mesti masakan tu ada kat atas meja makan. Dia punya semangat nak mencuba tu memang hebat lah. Kadang-kadang jadi, kadang-kadang tak jadi. Tapi sebab saya anak yang baik, saya cakap la semuanya sedap. Masa saya kecik-kecik, sampailah remaja, saya tak penah nak masak. Duduk dapur pun saya tak gemar. Mak kata, mungkin sebab ayah tanam uri saya kat depan umah tok kat Jalan Lim Poon tu. Tiap-tiap tahun, malam sebelum Hari Raya, saya lagi suka tolong ayah lap-lap meja dan kerusi kat ruang tamu dari tolong mak masak kat dapur. Sebab tu sampai sekarang, saya rasa, saya lagi ekselen mengemas umah dari memasak.

Mak saya juga seorang yang ceria dan banyak cakap. Kalau ikut Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory, mak saya jatuh dalam kategori Choleric. Saya juga boleh mengatakan bahawa mak saya adalah seorang drama queen. Selalunya saya kena tapis dulu cerita dia sebab memang ada kemungkinan besar ciri-ciri peng-exaggeration tu wujud. Tapi saya tak kesah. Sebab saya sayang mak saya. Kadang-kadang kelakar jugak kalau saya dan adik saya melayan citer tambahan mak kami tu. Kawan-kawan saya yang rapat juga perasan bahawa mak saya memang terlebih excited kadang-kadang. Kalau mak-mak mereka jenis yang cool saje, mak saya ni bolehlah diibaratkan seperti burung murai yang berkicauan dengan penuh riang-ria.

Suara mak juga sangat kuat. Membuatkan saya tertanya-tanya dulu, kenapalah suara saya tak selantang mak saya. Membuatkan guru-guru di sekolah sampai naik muak menyuruh saya membaca dengan lebih kuat. Pensyarah-pensyarah kat universiti pun sama. Mengikut tafsiran psikologi diri saya sendiri (yang berasaskan cerita-cerita dari mak dan juga makcik-makcik saya dan juga dari sedikit pengalaman pahit yang saya masih ingat), saya asalnya banyak cakap juga. Sama seperti mak saya. Sampaikan orang-orang di sekeliling menyampah dengan sifat saya yang banyak cakap itu. Maka, ada beberapa peristiwa yang tak payah saya ceritakan, yang membuatkan saya menjadi seorang pendiam. Mungkin sebab kecik-kecik lagi saya sudah merasakan rejection kerana berlagak seperti seorang Joyah (perempuan yang banyak cakap). Maka, makin saya membesar, makin saya lebih mirip kepada bapa saya yang berpersonaliti phlegmatic. Dan mungkin juga sebab saya sangat sayang kepada mak saya, saya punya ramai kawan baik yang berpersonaliti choleric. Malah, saya juga mengahwini seorang choleric. Amat jarang orang-orang di persekitaran boleh menyesuaikan diri dengan orang choleric, kecuali orang-orang yang tabah, sabar dan tenang seperti seorang phlegmatic sahaja mampu menyayangi mereka dengan sepenuh hati.

Mak juga seorang yang garang dan suke je nak ikut mood dia sendiri. Dulu, masa kecik-kecik, kalau ayah bad mood, mak pun akan bad mood. Lepas tu semua orang dalam rumah akan bad mood. Bila saya da besar, bila ayah bad mood, mak pun masih bad mood lagi, tapi saya dan adik-adik dah boleh kawal mood masing-masing. Maka, kami masih boleh tersengih-sengih lagi walaupun ribut melanda. Kadang-kadang, lebih extreme lagi, adik lelaki saya (yang dulu salu gaduh dengan saya dan mengaku dia lah abang (anak sulung) dan mengatakan saya ni anak angkat) boleh membuat lawak jenaka dan ketawa sorang-sorang sambil berpuas hati melihat mak dan ayah kami semakin memburukkan mood masing-masing.

Saya rasa, mak saya adalah mak yang paling best (walaupun orang lain kata mak dia juga yang paling best). Sampai sekarang, kalau balik umah je, mak mesti tanya, “besok nak makan ape?” Kalau mak datang umah saya juga, mak akan tanya, “besok nak makan ape?”. Saya sangat suke dengan soalan itu. Malah, suami saya juga sangat suka dengan soalan itu. Mengalahkan kami dapat makan kat restoran mahal dan sedap pulak.

Saya rasa beruntung sebab masih boleh ucapkan selamat hari jadi kat mak saya. Bila kawan-kawan saya yang emak mereka dah kembali ke Maha Esa menyebut ayat-ayat seperti “Saya rindu mak..”, saya rasa sedih juga. Membuatkan saya rasa sejuk dan tenang kalau rasa nak marah-marah sebab mak saya meng-confuse-kan saya ke, ape ke.. Sebab saya masih punya mak.. walaupun mak saya tak belajar tinggi macam mak orang lain. Walaupun mak saya tak pandai speaking handal-handal macam orang lain, mak saya masih boleh mencium saya. Walaupun mak saya tak moden macam mak orang lain, saya masih boleh makan masakan mak, saya masih boleh pakai baju yang dijahit oleh mak saya.

Saya harap, selama nak masuk 27 tahun saya hidup ni, saya pernah membanggakan mak saya. Saya juga harap, saya ada masa lagi untuk lebih membanggakan dan membahagiakan mak saya, dan juga ayah saya.

Semoga mak sentiasa sihat dan panjang umur. Ayah juga..

*Emotional plak dengan entri ni, mungkin sebab dalam beberapa hari lagi, saya juga akan menjadi seorang emak..

M A L A S

Malas nak cari entry yang kite pi jalan-jalan dengan Hajar, Muq, Nadia & Syiefa hari tu. Tapi hari tu kata nak letak gambar. Jadi, ni link saje dengan entry Syiefa aka Epit.

Here

Buzz off! Or I’ll flick a booger at you.

People, listen.
Especially those who have had the experience of delivering a baby (or babies) into this world.

I don’t care if you have had the most gruesome experience ever. I don’t care if you felt more pain than the others. I just want you to prevent yourself from telling expecting mothers that the labour is going to be painful and extremely mortifying.

And thus, I would like to send my utmost gratitude to Mas, Linda, Azza and Aimi (she said it was “kacang goreng” and I LIKE her comment very much!) who have made labour seems worthwhile rather than frightening.

I went to antenatal class yesterday (thanks, love for coming with me - I know, classes are so not your type) and I learned A LOT about labour and delivery. The experts made everything seemed bearable and safe. NO HORRIFYING stories AT ALL! Yes, the inevitable pain will be there, but we were taught on how to manage the pain. It was a very interesting class and very very very informative.

The most important thing about labour is, mommies should be calm and positive. We were advised to stay calm, practice all the breathing, relaxation exercises and listen to the doctor’s instruction. And as our respective husbands will be by our side all the way, things should be ok…

So, people with indented thoughts (I know you mean well, to share with people of your experience, but it is so irritating to listen to you talking negatively about labour), if you don’t have anything good to say, SHUT UP!

For expecting mommies, we are all going to be OK!

Year One

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to hubby & myself!!!! =)

Yeay!!!

Yeay!!!

Exactly a year ago, at 5.15pm, both clad in our respective purple attires, we were still smiling and shaking hands and thank you-ing everyone for coming, while getting our pictures taken (Terima kasih lokasi tajaan Mak Pon jiran depan rumahku).

Happy 2nd anniversary to Hana & Hubby, too!

Happy 27th Birthday to Hajar (26.05.09)!

Ok, nak pi mandi, pakai baju cantek2. Hahahaha…

Almost There, babe!

As of today, ada 4 days lagi to our wedding anniversary! Hehhehe.. First time nak celebrate wedding anniversary. Syukur Alhamdulillah, we are finally arriving at the one year of blissfully married life.

A walk down the memory lane…

The first few months of marriage saw me in different types of emotions. Happy, irritated, annoyed, happy, irritated, annoyed, happy.

I woke up early to prepare breakfast only to find out that Muq is not a breakfast person. So, later, from french toast, it got down to a glass of fresh milk right from the carton. I nagged about his forgotten tasks of switching off the lights, closing the bathroom door, flushing!! after use and so on. I questionned his zero contribution towards house chores, except for taking out the garbage. But at the same time, I enjoyed his company, lazing and grazing on the couch, watching whatever was on TV or movies from DVDs, teasing each other and fighting over who sleeps on which side of the bed (yeah, long ago, I told him; under normal circumstances, I HAVE to sleep near the door).

As we entered the first half of the year, I was beginning to see some improvement. I’d smile when he washes his own dishes, my heart would soar with happiness and gratitude when he does any sort of house chores without being told. Or even when he actually leaves his keys in the right place, instead of tossing it on the table. Maybe it’s the pregnancy that is changing him, but I really appreciate it. He’d tell me not to do this and that and that he’d do it later. But, knowing him, later could mean next month or next two months. The wife he got married then would definitely go about and keep reminding him day after day. But, the wife she is now is doing it herself if she has what it takes to do so. I’d remind him a few times, but not as rigidly as I used to.

Maybe because I’ve seen how much he loves me. The sacrifices he made for me. So, there’s nothing wrong in tolerating his behavior once in a while. Ehem. ONCE IN A WHILE. Although sometimes I can’t help but feel the glint of irritation peeking. I try to contribute as much as I can. And I guess all the irritation and annoyance don’t matter anymore when during weekends he picks up the skillet and start cooking while letting me resting on the couch. Or when he said a simple “Tak payah masak lah” on one of those tiring days. Or when he comes home bearing chocolates or ice cream without being told so.  Or when he looks at me with sympathy eyes (I think so) as I walk slowly, wincing in every step I take.

There’s a lot more to learn about him and about us. I’m so ready to learn more, and with this new kid on the block arriving soon, I know we’ll be stressed, sleep deprived and everything, but at least, we have a new toy to play with. And when we are annoyed at each other, at least, we have a new someone to turn to!

So, to another year and more years to come, may our love grows under His blesses and may we survive whatever obstacles coming our way.

On a cool Tuesday morning

Been staring at the monitor for a brief 1 minute, trying to figure out what to write. But, not a single idea spring out of the dull mind.

Things to do today:

  • Continue compartmentalizing my stationery, crafts box, and all other boxes in the store
  • Fold clothes
  • Finish cleaning the reading area upstairs
  • Call the antenatal class for confirmation
  • Rest and more rest
  • Tuition at 8pm

My eyes and mind were floating into dreamland, but my aching body just won’t let me sleep, last night. It has been a hassle just to turn my body left from right (and vice versa) to get the most comfortable sleeping position. In the end, I slept half-sitting with lots of pillows supporting my back. I must have moved subconsciously during my sleep as I woke up lying perfectly on my side, receiving my “bye-bye” hug from my darling. Another few weeks of restless night, in hope of regaining the long-missed beauty sleep. Oh, I wish ya! I read in a book, newborns usually have many wakings at nights, not until they reach 4 months of age that they are able to sleep soundly through the night. Oh, how I hope my baby is one of the exceptions.

Baby lagi~~

Malam ini, buat kesekian kalinya, I’ll be alone. For the past few weekends, I’ve had the company of friends while Muq went fishing. But, tonight, I’d be alone. No worries, though, I’d have books for company. Hehehe.

I’ve finally submitted the hard cover thesis. YEAY!! See this beaming-with-glee face? Hehehe.. You can’t! But let me tell you how I feel. I feel free! and happy! and very very very calm. After 2 years of ordeals, I have finally reached the ending line. Which of course, another beginning of a new life! And at the moment, I can’t hardly wait for the arrival of my little daisy.

What Are Little Girls Made of?

Girls are made of sugar ‘n spice,

Everything sweet & everything nice,

Girls are ruffles, bonnets and bows,

Dimpled smiles and dancing toes,

They’re tears and giggles, dolls and curls,

That’s how it is with little girls.

Linda brought her 8 month old son, Awal to the center yesterday and he was extremely CUTE! He smiled when I talked to him, but then he was also shy and hid his face.

What Are Little Boys Made Of?

Boys are made of chuckles & grins,

Tousled hair and banged-up shins,

Things with wheels & frogs in pockets

Questions, baseball caps & rockets;

They’re joy & mischief, fun & noise-

That’s how it is - boys will be boys!

I planned to sort the content of the boxes from our last move (yeah, it has been 5 months and yet, we haven’t get around to unpack all of the boxes! Hahahaha.. Been saving it until after I finish studying (which is now), but my “heavy” condition does not allow me to work on it so much. Instead, I woke up late today (thank you for a VERY packed day yesterday! But, I have enjoyed it!) and spend most of the time on my lappie, replying an extensively long mail to a dear friend and browsing for a white cardigan and updating myself with my friends’ blogs. I’ve just read Azza’s blog, which is VERY informative - I’m going to use it as referral, Azza! Especially on babies & stuffs! Nice work with the blog!

I’ve received informative brochures from Wyeth Mama and one of the content is “Packing Your Bag for Labor”. Along with the list and with addition from information I gained from Maslinda & Linda, I have to pack these items:

Hospital Bag:

  • Loose-fitting clothes for going home
  • Socks
  • Disposable panties
  • Nightgowns / shirts with buttons (for easy breastfeeding purposes)
  • Toiletry bag
  • Sanitary pads
  • Nursing bras & breast pads
  • Sweater

Labor Bag:

  • Snacks for Dad
  • Lotion/massage oil
  • Camera (ni kena depends on daddy’s phone lah)
  • Handphone (for informing family & friends when the baby arrives)
  • Watch with second hand for timing contractions
  • Tafsir Al-Quran (xtau la sempat baca ke tak kalau da tengah sakit tu)

Baby’s Bag:

  • Take home clothes, hat, booties & mittens
  • Blanket/towels/nappies for swaddle
  • 2 sets of clothes (for the hospital stays)
  • Diapers

But, as said by Mas, “bawak satu beg sudah ler, kang orang kata nak bercuti kat spital plak..”. Hehehe.. Yeah.. true.. But, knowing me who loves compartmentalizing things, I have packed a smaller bag (for baby’s stuffs) that can fit in the larger bag (for the rest).

Friends (and I especially mean YOU, Nurul Syiefa - cos you are one of only few friends staying nearby), I’ll be delivering at Hospital Pakar An-Nur, Bangi. Please do drop by and have a look at our little cutesy pie! =) Nadia pun kena datang jugak! Sebab Shah Alam tak le jauh sangat! Reen pun same!!!! You lagi dekat, Reen!

Hahahah.. excited giler plak nak deliver (baru jek 33 weeks!). Truth is, I’m pretty scared, but hey, why bother focusing on the negative kan?

Baby Shower

Last Friday was supposed to be the final date of our thesis submission. But due to some delay (which is entirely not our fault!), we were granted the permission to submit it by this week. Nevertheless, we (oh, we = my classmates & I) met up at Mid Valley, as Sheereen, Putri, Dhanya, Matilda, Jan & Ivy (plus Vizla who weren’t able to come because of a death in her family) generously organized a baby shower for me & my little marshmallow at the La Manila.

The first half of the party

The first half of the party

These are Matilda, the married lady who chaperoned us; Jan, the newly engaged happy lass; Dhanya, oh-the-ever-so-confused girl; and Ivy, who stayed for just a while since she was rushing to meet the lecturer.

The latter half of the party

As you can see, that’s me; Reen, the girl with a good head on her shoulder and dear missy Putri, who always look good no matter what.

Gift from Putri

Jumpsuits!!!!!

Bodysuits!!!

I LOVE the bodysuit set, Putri!!! Thank you so much! As I recalled, Dhanya was rather bising commenting on Put’s intention to buy me another present, eventhough they have all shared to buy one! (”This Putri la, so sibuk wants to be extra extra bestfriend, buying you another present!”). hahahahahha… I love them all!

Gift from all

Gift from all

A nice set from all of them. It’s pink with roses & butterfly! AND, the booties have this little thingy at the back of it which reminds me of rabbit’s tail! It’s so cute!

Happy Mommy Hood!

Happy Mommy Hood!

What a nice wish, ya! The cake taste GOOD, also - very savoury, very chocolatey. Thanks for Dhanya who went to  buy the cake & the gift!

One last picture before we headed home

Putri insisted on having a pic with me & tummy

Putri insisted on having a pic with me & tummy

We are of the same height, mind you. But Putri cheated!!! It’s the optical illusion (of me being wider sideway) that gives the effect of Put’s tall frame! Huh, plus she was wearing heels! Hahahaha.. Let me get back in shape & put on heels as well, Putri..

I had a blast! Thanks to all of you who were present (and Vizla, too!), for the food & gifts & well wishes. This will go into the baby’s album - so she knows how well she was celebrated by her mommies’ dearest friends! Am planning to introduce her to them during our graduation day. To all of you, Good Luck in your future undertakings!

A Glitch

As it happens (more than once), Friendsters again was having another snag. But, after re-log in a few times, it came through *sigh*.

~Enjoying my time-off at home~

As it happens, I lost interest in writing, because of the glitch. Until next time, have a fine Thursday, everyone! =)

Girls’ Weekend-In & Out

Before my napping time~~

I’d like to reminiscent on the weekend that my friends and I drank a whole lot of Slurpee.

According to the order of appearance (excluding me):

Syiefa: I didn’t know her very well back in school (ye, sf, saya tahu kamu ingat saya - saya ingat kamu juga). AND, I didn’t quite remember when we started to become close. But, I can tell you, one can easily mingle well with this lady. She’s complicated-but a very fun person (provided that she is well-fed, hahahaha). Forever & anywhere wearing her comfort clothes, jeans & shirt plus sweater (oh, saya juge tidak melupakan kasut michael jackson itu - dan iye, kat tgh panas, ia tidak nampak seperti kasut michael jackson, tp mungkin di malam hari rupanya lain~~). She’s easy to be with, a joy to have in every home (dah macam iklan produk). She knows how to fit in with her surrounding which makes me love having her around (ye, rumah ini pun sudah seperti rumahnye, cume belum soh dia sapu, mop lantai dan cuci tandas saje). She’s a good catalyst.

Nadia: Oh, nama ini memang sudah terang, jelas dan nyata. She needs no introduction. Please refer to my previous entry about her.

Muqri: Mr. Lova-Lova. Hahaha..

Hajar: I’ve known her from school, but really got to know her during our matrix year. Hajar & Syiefa make a good pair. Put them together and they’ll sure make you laugh. She’s married to her more-than-a-decade-lover, that everyone thought that it was a must to attend her wedding to celebrate the union of a legendary love story. Sometimes, you may see her as a reserved person, quiet and appears to be polite - but don’t be fool. She’s as gregarious as one could be. Hehehe..

It all started when Sf voiced out her intention to come over (or was it my invitation?). Since I was done with most of my work, I thought, it would be nice to have some company over. Well, now, Sf, being Sf, she asked Nad to join us (and somehow they arranged a little girls slumber party). Since Muq was going fishing that night, I absolutely love to have them around!

Sf reached here at about 6pm, we talked for a while and then when out to buy food for dinner. Sf was fasting. While we were waiting for the chicken at a drive thru, Nad called, said that she’s coming. (hehe..Terima kasih kepada cik adik di drive thru yang cakap saya comel~~~). Sf’s warning (KP order snack plate je cukup) was deferred as Nad asked for a piece of chicken (hehehe..terima kasih juge kepada cik adik drive thru yang melayan kami). Sorry to the cars behind who have to wait for us! I bought Sf the purple slurpee because she had never tasted it before.

Then, after Maghrib prayer, Sf and me laid down the feast on the table and gobbled everything up. Hahahahha.. Makan sampai nak pitam, ok! Serious, masa say bye-bye to Muq (as he was going fishing), I started to have auras of black outs! Dahla si SF tak habis2 menyedut slurpee tu. Boleh lagi pesan kat Nad soh beli lagi satu slurpee! While we were resting (siap pose baring ala2 ular sawa kekenyangan - serupe jek perot kite kan sf - hahahaha), Nad arrived with a giant orange slurpee. Hehehe.. TQ nad.. I remembered we laughed & slept late that night.Takde la slumber party sangat pun…

The next morning, I left everybody at home & went to tuition. When I got back, Nad was already up. Sf - as usual - was still sprawling in her usual sleeping pose. I prepared breakfast, and the 3 of us went to Metro while Muq had his sleep. Meneman Nad memilih baju. She tried on some clothes, but end up not buying any except an inner piece. We managed to lobby Sf to buy an inner shirt, as well. Hehehe.. Then, at home, we asked her to try it on & had a laugh about it (well, SHE started it!). We hurried back home to pray & fetch Muq for a late lunch.

Next destination was Tupai-Tupai for lunch. We ate while watching AF Diary & talked about AF’s politic, di sebelah meja sekumpulan orang2 tua yang sedang buat meeting ape tah. Then, we headed to the Digital Warehouse Sale in PJ. The place was so small & crowded, but we managed to squeeze ourselves. Sf who initially was looking for a phone with 80% discount, ended up with a Nikon camera (a good bargain, though). Nad also got to buy a laptop case. Nice. Muq & me? Somehow, I thought we were kinda playing “mommy & daddy” to them, esp, Sf. Hahhaha.. I accompanied her to the ever-so-scary toilet (tak bley pk pasal toilet tu Sf! the image was so mortifying!) and Muq went around consulting her about phone & camera. Nad had her own consultant thru phone, hahaha. When I got tired, I sat on a rock next to the gate, listening to Mat Kool theme song. Things purchased, we headed to Wondermilk. Muq bought each of us cupcakes and Sf & Nad got themselves ANOTHER giant slurpee.

That night, we savoured the cupcakes sehingga menjilat jari while watching AF Concert. When Hajar arrived from Johor, Muq & Sf went to pick her up at UPM toll, while Nad & me continued watching the concert (manakan ada daya yang boleh menggerakkan Nad dari menonton tv, terutamanya rancangan ruji dia). When Hajar arrived, we laughed again, until my belly hurt so much. Then, with Muq as our search navigator, we looked for a place for the next gathering. Somehow, we ended up with pages of gossips for local artiste. Hahhaha… So much of finding a place for a gathering konon.. We slept at around 3pm, but yet, I still heard the girls’ laughters once they were in their room.

The next morning, I woke up late. Nad & Hajar were already primmed and proper. Oh, sorry girls, for not preparing a decent breakfast. It was already noon & there was no food left at home, except a few slices of yesterday’s bread & a jar of berry jam. When Muq woke up, he made the decision to have rice for lunch (the girls had already planned to have Sushi King, but Muq’s vetoed overrode their initial plan. sorry, again, girls..). So, we had our lunch in Bangi and sent Hajar to UKM commuter station, on her way to meet her very-missed husband. The rest of us, went home. Nad sat for a while & went back to Shah Alam. Muq sat for a while and went out for a hair cut. Sf sat for a while and went upstairs to “think” about her assignment. I sat for a while and fell asleep on the couch, convinced that Sf was also deep in her sleep, “thinking” about her assignment. She woke up later and headed back to MMU.

Such a long story. Too bad I didn’t narrate it to well. I just thought of putting it here as a reminder of a good weekend. I had so much fun, despite the aching feet. Friends with food are one of the best things in life. Thanks, girls for the company! Silalah datang lagi! =)

Oh, and thanks to my dearest darling, for putting up with my friends.. The girls are quite afraid of him at times, but they mix well enough. I know he loves having their company as well. What did I tell ya? He’s good with girls, kan?

p/s: I didn’t have pictures, but when Sf post up her entry (with pics) about this, I’d link up to her page. Hhehehhee…ye Sf ye…?
