Hi... Got back from a birthday dinner, my friend invited me to his birthday steamboat dinner.. siuk.. teringat pula masa my birthday dinner last year di tempat yang sama..
It's just for close friends.. so, only 7 of us... Gave him a surprise birthday cake..
Went to shop in Kiulap and Yayasan around 2 pm this afternoon and I don't know what to buy as a present.. but luckily I remembered a friend's suggestion yesterday.. so, I quickly get what I wanted and got back to KB around 4.15 p.m. The weather was okay for me.. I know that it was raining in Gadong area, but it was perhaps only about 15 minutes of rain.. Alhamdulillah..
A colleague texted me about the Pulut Panggang business that she asked yesterday.. and I had to reply the text on my way back to KB.. So, it will be 30 PP Daging and 30 PP Udang.. hmm.. that's quite okay.. provided that there are leaves for each rolls.. just have to call home about it..
Got back home and i saw my dad just got back from the market bringing the leaves... Alhamdulillah.. so, 60 rolls of pulut panggang will be ready for tomorrow morning..
My friend told me that they will fetch me around 7pm.. So, I got dressed and packed the gifts in the bag, including the one that I bought from Oman.. hehe.. "Hope he'll understand and will like the gifts".. that's what I said to myself. I waited till around 7.30 pm.. my friends arrived and I got into the car..
Arrived at the restaurant.. prepared the soup and heat the grills.. we started cooking the meals..
That is always the best part.. as we had to cook what we want to eat.. and it is much more "mesra" to do these.. We saw a group of family members cooking their seamboats and they grilled the beef, lamb chops, prawns and so on.. It's kinda fun :)
So, we had a good time this evening as we eat, talk and laugh.. with everybody sharing the food. Plan to have that with my family once in a while.. well, just an outing..
Hmm...Talking about family outing.. well, the family will have a family gathering this monday.. yeah, I know it's Chinese New Year.. and also, we haven't baked anything for our grandma and grandpa, uncle and aunties.. I guess that should be done after work on saturday.. and will deliver it on sunday.. Gong Xi Fa Cai..
Chat with a former student earlier, and she asked me if I'll be celebrating CNY.. hmm.. not sure.. I'm sure there will be invitations from friends and colleagues who are celebrating.. even my chinese family members.. hehe.. Insyallah..
