Tuesday blues (and I do love family gatherings!)
Yeah I know, normally the blues are for Mondays. But yesterday I was on MC (the doctor gave me 1 day off), so today feels like Monday to me. Even Mumue asked if I'm OK. Jikin asked me if I didn't get enough sleep. I checked in the mirror, and... alamak, swollen eyes rupanya, no wonder they both made those remarks!
Sunday makan-makan was wonderful. I DID end up making the baked macaroni. Mak made rendang ayam, and told me to masak nasi himpit (the segera one, of course!). MakTon made kuah soto (and hence the reason for the nasi himpit). Both Uncle Sam and Uncle Ed made it to the makan-makan, and Uncle Ed made Pineapple Turnover Cake, and also some Tea-Bread. Rajin betul lah him! Iyin bought Secret Recipe's Chocolate Banana. OMG! There goes my sugar level! LOLs...
Food was aplenty. And I really mean that. A LOT!! And a lot of them were actually eaten up on Sunday itself (sheesh, talk about everyone having big appetite!) Let's see what's still left in the refrigerator this morning - 1/3 of the Choc Banana cake, 1/4 of the Pineapple Turnover. The rest... long gone!
Awene's babygirl was there - Alya. COMELLLL sangat! And she didn't take that long to warm up to me. And seeing the way Mak holing Alya made me wonder if Mak was hoping for a grandchild in the nearest future.
Lene was there too, on her way to work she said, but she dropped by and ate a little, and played with her two boys for a while.
Seeing Kai enjoying the macaroni bakar made all the effort SO worth it! Seeing Ya sleeping half way through the gathering (with the soft snoring and everything) made me grin - evidence of how tired she was kena kemas-kemas the house for guests to come. Well, it could also be due to the fact that she just loves to sleep :P
At the end of the day, I love family gatherings.
Despite kena cuci pinggan and kemas-kemas all. Despite having sore arms the next day (adoi, my arms are still a bit sore actually).
I still love gatherings, especially with the people who are close in my heart.
That's family gathering. Hmm... Let's see when should The Girls gather pulak.
