Risik Merisik Tahun Baru

We spent our new year day by joining Nyah and Kak Zai pergi merisik orang. Affan is our next anak saudara to take that step towards marriage life. Kami pergi ke rumah Ila, bakal menantu Nyah and Kak Zai di Jalan Peel KL. Asalnya kami janji tunggu kat Carrefour Cheras sebelum berangkat bersama-sama. Sementara menanti Nyah and gang sampai, kami minum2 dulu kat satu Restoran Mamak kat belakang Careefour tu. Punyeler sedap martabak ayam dan rojak dia.
Anyways, Insya Allah, hasil perbincangan hari tu, majlis pertunangan ditetapkan awal Mac nanti. Yeay, kenduri lagi. Dan nikahnya dijadual hujung Tahun Melawat Malaysia 2007 nanti. Lepas bual-bual, kami dijamu makan tengahari yang sedap sekali - gulai lemak udang, sambal belacan dan ikan masin. Ada banyak lagi lauk tapi tak makan sebab tak tercapai dek tangan ni (yelah kan, orang gemuk makan duduk bersila - lauk tu rasa jauh jer, ish, ish).

Affan and Ila - Moga Berkekalan
Makan tengahhari. Arissa yang halus tu steady jer, tetapi lihatlah ibunya.......

Tengah sibuk membedek-bedek kamera, alih-alih Nyah mintak orang gemuk ni bercakap bagi pihak lelaki. Gabra satu round!

Upacara menyarung cincin - Kasih ibu mertua

Wakil pihak lelaki - Fudhail, Kak Zai, Yan, Arissa, Asma and Alia. Bebudak bertiga tu masih confuse sebab tak berapa faham lagi apakah dia fungsi majlis merisik ini...

Selamat Tahun Baru 2007

Happy New Year To All!

Let's hope for better health and more magical moments in our life in 2007.

(Err... apa azam tahun baru ni? Share with me so I can laugh at it, pleazze!!!)

Cool Highland!

Several weeks ago, I became a singleton for a week as the ladies of my life made their way balik kampung. Maklumler cuti-cuti sekolah ni, hendaklah jugak beralih angin. And while there, they joined Yan's sisters and their families ke Cameron Highlands. Cuti-Cuti Malaysia! Here are some of the pix....

Scary Moment

It was scary, really. Mak fell ill earlier this morning.
Today, I was awaken by a phone call from my brother Azmi around 6.45 am and informed that Mak fell from her bed and apparently hit her head until berdarah.
In five minutes, I was already driving like mad to Shah Alam! Mak was lying in Chor's living room when I got there and was a bit better. She told me she blacked out and that's when she sort of jatuh. And when Mi got there we brought her to the nearest medical centre and both of us were astounded that Mak's blood pressure had shot up to 232. Of course the doctor said that Mak need to be admitted and of course Mak doesn't want to. So the good doctor put her under observation for several hours and alhamdullilah, the pressure reading eventually went down. So the doctor let her go back home.
But I was really scared! Even at my age, you really do not know how to react accordingly when you are faced with such a moment. Tapi syukurlah Mak is okay now!

Musical Theatre at Istana Budaya

Last night we went to watch a children musical theater at the Istana Budaya - the Ali Baba Musical. It starred 80 school children and the ever likeable Aznil Hj Nawawi. The children were there to watch their Abang Aznil, and he did not disappoint them. He was his usual live-wire and sometimes we felt we were watching his Macam-Macam Aznil show ler pulak. Overall, the musical was an okay production but the children were fun to watch - especially the girl who played Marjina. Oooh! yes, we met Yah (anak Mima) there with her siblings which of course include my future sons in law - Akhbar and Abidin. Alia and Asma were freaking mad at me last night - kah kah kah!

Dengan tak disangka-sangka, Alia terjumpa her best friend kat, Mariam kat sini.
