Weekend has been great, but it was pure coincidence.. Things happens for a reason anyway.
Raudz & myself meet up with Andak & family, Abg Madi & Family as well as Dier & Zaf on National Day. We’ve made plans since last month on meeting to watch Fireworks together.
A day earlier was my cousin’s Liyana birthday, so her request was to come over to visit Tok & Nenek instead of celebrating it alone with her family. Earlier in the morning I’ve receive an sms from Kak Liza & Andak informing of them coming. So I thought I should not say for OT… or I will miss meeting them. Abang Madi & Safiah came along as well right after work. As usual the Nabilah, Stefi & Sofie just love to meet up & play together. They stay till late & so we plan to meet again the next day.
If I’m still working in SH, I’m very sure that I’ll have to work on N’Day… Anyway, I spend ½ day watching TV.. In the afternoon, I went around Bugis trying to look for a blouse for myself. I end up at Golden Landmark, got myself a blouse for $20… Late afternoon, Kak Liza sms to meet up at Raffles Place. Safiah mention about buying foodstuff for our Fireworks ‘picnic’. Brought along mats, made hot coffee to go along… And off we go. Minutes before that, Fidz came with Jojo. They might have plans later I thought. Cause its Jojo’s birthday on N’Day..
I’m so surprise to see the crowd at Raffles Place from the MRT to all the roads. I was expecting a Big coward at CT Hall areas as well as Esplanade. Didn’t know that Raffles place is another location for Fireworks viewing. The rest came earlier, ‘cop’ placing at the big padang near lau pa sat. All dress in RED, waving at us when we’re trying to look for them.. Gosh the crowd, mak oi.. macam picnic. We got out spot, lay the mat & enjoy the view of ‘si-pi, si-pi’ from Marina Bay. Despite the gatal2 of the nyamuk, lalat & langau, apart from all that the rest is all GOOD…
The fireworks view was wonderful, no wonder the attention was at Raffles Place areas. Its was seriously beautiful. However if you do not have any vehicle to come over the so call padang space, you’ll probably find it difficult to get out of the place. Luckily Andak & family got their ride on Abg Madi’s 7-seater, whereas we got our from our Favourite cousin Dier & Zaf.. hahaah..
Had our late dinner at Bukit Timah makan place, makan Garlic Nan.. sedap giler..
Friday was a working day, apasal lah tak bagi kita cuti lagi sehari eh.. lemau betul nak keje the next day.. The bus was empty, I’m just lucky that I’ve got my walkman radio with it otherwise its even more empty..
I arrive home around 8.30pm that night. Later that night, after a long conversation with Kak Liza she asked us to come over to Abg Madi’s place… Dier was coming Kallang area to fetch Andak, thought we should ‘ngecek’ tumpang him instead. They were all on leave still that Friday, no wonder they are all spend that day at Savanah. Perut lapar ni, roti & sardine pun jadi sedap bila perut lapar.. heeheh.. We watch TV, chatting the whole night. Till its almost mid-night, surprisingly not sleepy at all. Didn’t realise its already 3am!! Have quality time with Zaf since its been some time since we last met.
Mak called asking if we’re coming home.. heeheh.. “tak payah balik sudah lah, dah pukul berapa ni.. balik besok sudah.”
I use to play around with phrases like this during school day,
“mak aku kata jangan balik malam.. Balik pagi baik..”
Ah, this is the right time to use this phrase.. very appropriate.. haahaa..
All of us slept like sardine with 7 people in the room. Actually they have 3 bedrooms, 2 big halls.. but the ladies choose to be in 1 room all together. I got up really early, cant stand too cold in air-con room. We came unprepared, without pajamas, toothbrush. Luck enough that day I was wearing glasses, imagine if I have my lenses on, HOW???
We got ready for breakfast. Went out to Bedok to buy them, they decide on having breakfast cum picnic.. (again) at East Coast beach.. Never thought that it was going to be a good idea actually. Stayed till 1pm.. Zaf send us back because we had to leave urgently, had some unfinished work to be done… Glad it was Saturday, at least I still have Sunday to be lazy.. heeheh…
Later around 3pm, Nya’ called asking me to meet her down stairs for a while before she prepare to leave for KL. She had to pass me the blouse that I've kirim her to buy from KL. Nya’ was in S’pore for the N’Day holidays. Didn’t get to spend time with her. I have to understand that she will have to meet all the family members since she’s here for just a few days.
Nya’ sms me the nxt morning at around 8am informing that Syirah is in Hospital at Malacca. She was vomiting & Aqim poo all along during the journey back to KL.. They kids was not well when Nya’ didn’t have her maid with her this time round. As usual Nya’ get paranoid handling both the kids at that condition. If I’m in the situation, I’ll be just as panic as ever.. They had to stop at Malacca & admitted Syirah since she was very weak. Aqim get slightly better lucky thing, they have their home at Malacca to stay.
As per Nya’s sms today, Syirah is still in the hospital. And her office is making so much noise for extending her leave. She was really furious at that point telling me if they insisit on her coming back then she’ll probably just tender resignation intead.. How unreasonable can someone be eh!! Tak faham.
Be meeting Zana & Phyllis tomorrow evening. I’m not going to stay for OT again tomorrow.. My eye’s get very tired staring at the screen…
Anyway, 1st August was Mustaqim’s birthday.. Too occupied to blog a birthday wish for him. Then, Happy Birthday to my Cousin Liyana Rafid, Cousin Rose Aznita in Liverpool.. & Also to my bro-in-law Jojo..
