Each and everyone of us have lots of special days to celebrate with friends and families..may it be birthdays, weddings, baby shower, engagements and so on. To me, today is one of my special days...my 48th birthday. To some it's just another day but to me birthdays are special. Why is it so? Well for once you know that the numbers are gaining, you get wiser, hope to make less mistakes, hope to achieve more goals and hope to live another hundred years which I doubt! hahahaha. I love the birthday wishes from everybody and hope all will come through..Insyaallah.. I just love the attention given to me on this very day. Makes me feel important! That shows I'm human....hahahahha.
My daughter invited my husband and I to a dinner. We left home at 8pm and I was ready much earlier. I do not know where the venue was, so we had to convoy! I drove my Mini and somehow rather we missed the leader! Alamak! Makcik paniklah. So my daughter told us of the route to the venue through our teleconversation. Well, we made it! Alhamdulillah.
The restaurant served BBQ dish, cheap, affordable, big serving, SEDAP and very good service. It's in Damansara Perdana. You must not miss their dessert...YUMMY...Bread butter pudding served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream with home made strawberry jam topping! I longed for this tasty pudding...lama teringin, rezeki malam ni dapat merasa. Syukur pada Illahi.
When I said it's cheap, I meant CHEAP! browse through the net and look for pannaz. You won't miss it. To my daughter Hana and my son in law Asim plus my little star...cucuku Ammar yang montel tuuu....thanks for the wonderful dinner. I enjoyed it very much. Mak berdoa semoga kamu sekeluarga berbahagia selamanya dan sentiasa di lindungi Allah. Semoga rezeki kamu murah wahai anak-anakku. Love you always. Ayah said tomorrow will be his birthday... mengikut tahun Hijrah pulak...hahahaha.
To make my birthday dinner complete, I managed to speak to my son Azman(he's in MEL) who was in the midst of finishing his 3000 words thesis which is to be ready and hand over tomorrow. To make things worst, there was a blackout. Lucky him he managed to safe his work using battery power. Aku berdoa semoga anak-anakku berjaya dalam pendidikan dunia akhirat mereka dan di murahkanlah rezeki serta diberi kelapanagan hidup selamanya. Semoga mereka diberi kesihatan yang baik dan mendapat jodoh yang baik. Jadikanlah mereka keluarga yang soleh. Aminnn.
Lengkaplah malamku. Tidurku dibuai mimpi indah menggambarkan keluarga bahagiaku. Alhamdulillah.

Banyaknya kenduri...
Apabila kita dijemput untuk menghadiri sesuatu majlis, menjemput itu adalah SUNAT tetapi memenuhi jemputan itu adalah WAJIB! Just imagine, yesterday alone, my husband and I had to attend four weddings and the venues are scattered all over.
We started our day as early as 9 am and drove straight to Tanjung Karang which is about an hour and a half away. It was a wedding of a friend's(our muqtawwif when we performed our Umroh last) son. For kampung folks like him, kenduri will start as early as 9 am. So, that helped us a lot in planning our route for the day. It was interesting to see the difference of wedding ceremonies held in kampung and city. Yang paling ketara ialah lelaki dan perempuan tidak ditempatkan bersama semasa makan. Can you imagine how was I going to chat with strangers and what made it worst was, they speak Javanese! hahahahaha. Yes, aku memang separuh Jawa tapi aku tidak tahu berbahasa Jawa! Pilu aku babe. But they are nice people. Knowing me buta Jawa, they speak Bahasa Melayu with me. Bila sebut tinggal dekat UiTM, they got excited because it sounded familiar to their ears..that was a good catch to start a conversation. The secret is to bring yourself down and say something that is familiar to all and if you are wearing sunglasses, take it off because that will make you look different!
Next we went straight to Komplek Perumahan PPR Pantai Dalam (belakang Angkasapuri). We went once many years ago when this friend invited us for a cukur jambul kenduri. And that was it! It was 10 years ago! Hahahahaha. We are terrible friends aren't we!! Anyway, we managed to arrive and the funny part of it was that he already moved to another place, a new area!!! He was so happy with our presence. It felt nice to make others happy right!
Next stop was Shah Alam...aaaa home ground. We bumped into an old friend whom we've lost contact for the last 20 over years. Our last encounter was when we were staying in Johor and they were there too. Sedih, seronok, lucu bila mengenangkan kisah lama kami masa dulu. Those were our salad days when our children were toddlers! We remembered how mischievious my son was and how my daughter cried to take home my friend's newborn baby home. She was in confinement at that time. Now just look at the children! the've all grown! We promised to visit one another soonest to catch up the lost years.
Last stop was my neighbour's. Sini kena lama sikit sebab kebanyakan yang hadir adalah rakan kejiranan kami. This neighborhood is very unique because every one of us knows one another. But unfortunately, after attended 3 kenduri and had to eat 3 plates of Nasi Minyak plus the desserts, we just can't eat anymore. So we just took a plate of fruit slices and that's all. The caterer CNS is my buddy. We dive together. She's a wonderful and a lovable friend...more to like a sister to me. She saw that we did not eat anything and sent some food to our house after we went home from the wedding. How very nice of her. Not only today, but anytime when she feels like feeding us, we'll have luxury of food at home right from her kitchen. Bertuahnya aku!! Thank you very much to her because the food she sent yesterday was our dinner!!!YUMMY ....sedappppppppnya.

Expression...
If a picture tells a thousand words, then why can't I paint you.....
If I could, I will paint the sky to show how I feel
Tiada kata, secantik bahasa, nak kupuji kekanda
Tiada gambar seindah lukisan, nak ku tunjukkan perasaan...
Cuba bayangkan bertapa tidak seronoknya kita jika kita tidak dapat menggambarkan dan membayangkan sesuatu event or view or something about your feelings inside to share with others. A painter will express his feelings through his painting, a poetry will do it through is poems and and writers will write. But what if we are unable to find the right words to do so.....well, those feelings will just die within you..sayangkan!! What a waste!!!!If I could, I will paint the sky to show how I feel
Tiada kata, secantik bahasa, nak kupuji kekanda
Tiada gambar seindah lukisan, nak ku tunjukkan perasaan...
A friend sent me a bouquet of flowers with a card and a scroll of hand written poetry inside plus a book. It's a birthday wish for me from her and her wonderful children. Without realizing, dadaku terasa sebak dan airmataku mengalir kerana aku tahu mengapa mereka bertindak begitu. Bagiku, apa jua kebaikan yang aku lakukan datangnya dari Allah.Tidak pernah aku mengharapkan apa-apa balasan...tidak sama sekali wahai sahabat Aku lakukan kerana aku terlalu mencintai persahabatan kita. Tapi aku berterima kasih wahai sahabatku DCM serta anak-anaknya 3 Umis and Ejat. Keluarga kami bukaan hanya bersahabat tetapi kami juga adalah jiran. Anak-anak kami juga berkawan baik. What amazed me is that selama aku bersahabat dengannya, tak pernah ku tahu yang dia pandai mengarang sajak. Ada bakat terpendam rupanya. Aku ingin berkongsi sajak yang DCM tuliskan buatku....
Di mana gerangannya rakan yang boleh kau cari....
Turut merasa suka dukamu
Turut bersama gelak ketawamu
Turut menangis dengan deritamu
Di mana gerangannya rakan yang boleh kau perolehi...
Menyokongmu sepenuh hati
Membantumu setiap detik
Membelaimu setiap masa
Hanya satu dalam jutaan bintang dilangit
Hanya satu dalam jutaan titisan embun dirumput
Penyinar jalan yang kelam
Penyejuk hati yang rawan
Secantik budi pekertinya
Seindah budi bahasanya
"Noorlailee Mohd Yunos"
Dialah anugerah Allah SWT
Yang terindah dalam hidup ini
Selamat Hari Jadi Sayang
Mudah-mudahan Allah sentiasa memberkatimu
Mudah-mudahan Allah sentiasa merahmatimu
Dianugerahkan kebahagiaan selama-lamanya
Di dunia ini dan di akhirat kelak
