Another lovely surprise :)

Salam..

Thank you to my dear friends - Syikin, Haizum, Izyan & Sheila for inviting us over for lunch today.. we had delicious nasi kerabu (thank you syikin!!) and lots of desserts.. and they got a cake for me:) thank you again.. It has been quite a long time since I last gossiping with them;) I miss those times when we were all working in the Regional Hospital.. we did have more gatherings back then..now, it is just once in a while.. as they're all working in different hospitals.. Haizum & Izyan are planning to go back to Malaysia for good this July.. hopefully we'll be able to organise a dinner (at least) before they leave.. I really enjoyed the lunch.. we had a good few hours of chit chatting.. now my hubby knows that I'm not the only one who thinks he likes to nag a lot;p hehe..

Salam..

This weekend has been extra special for me.. coz it's my birthday today!!:) hehe.. Alhamdulillah.. Thank you to Allah for He has given me the chance to still be breathing today in good health and more importantly in iman insyaAllah..

This weekend is a long weekend as it is going to be followed by Easter monday (which is a public holiday.. yippie!).. so we decided to go to Cork after unable to do so for the past 2 weekends.. we left Limerick on Friday evening..Before reaching Fairuz's house, we stopped by Hafiz/Zue's house as I wanted to give her some of the marble cake that I baked earlier that day.. Zue was on her way out to visit her friends' house, so I made a promise that we would come over to her house again before going back to Limerick.. although I was calculating when would be the best time to do so..

On Saturday, Fairuz got a phone call from Hafiz (Apek is his nickname), inviting us over to his house for dinner.. and I was relieved coz at least I can keep my promise to Zue.. She also invited a few other families & friends to come over.. at that stage, I didn't suspect anything coz it is a norm (for us anyway) to invite friends to come over for dinner and 'mengeteh' - that is melepak and chitchatting while having tea;p hehe..

And we had our dinner - the delicious nasi lemak (Zue's specialty) and yummylicious lompat tikam made by Fairuz.. and somebody brought a few cakes which I suspected they're meant for desserts.. while I was enjoying the lompat tikam, Fairuz made an announcement that it was my surprise birthday 'party'!! Oh my God.. that was something that I didn't expect at all.. and to be honest, I don't like to be the centre of attention.. (shy maaa...;p) hehe.. the cakes that they brought was actually my birthday cake.. I was so touched.. thank you my friends!! Zue made a cake as well.. thank you Zue! I am blessed with good friends.. I can't thank them enough for making such an effort to celebrate my birthday.. I don't know who to thank specifically as nobody would say whose idea was it.. So thank all of you - Zue & Apek, Fairuz & Asma', Mas & k.Aini, Fahmi & Izaidah.. also to Aimi, Jamilah, Fadrie, and Muizz.. thank you so much! I really didn't see it was coming.. it was a pleasant surprise.. I didn't expect any surprises for my birthday.. as I'm 28 years old (owh,I'm old!)..;p

Me.. cutting my birthday cake :)

Thank you, my friends! (this is the best pic after a few try.. pheww)

Later that night, my dear hubby was not feeling very well.. he was suffering from gastritis that kept him awake last nite.. it became quite severe that we asked Fairuz's favour to send Shaz to the hospital at 3 am in the morning.. and he came back nearly at half 5 am.. poor him.. after Subuh prayer, then only he was able to sleep.. so we had to change our plan today..

I was sliding into the car when I found a large red envelope together with a pink/red paper bag.. I got a present from my hubby!! yeay!!.. hehe.. he got me a lovely birthday card and something else.. ;) it was wrapped in a pink wrapper.. as I was unwrapping the present, I was thinking hard of what it could be.. I was pretty sure that it was a watch coz I did ask for a watch (I left mine in Malaysia.. huhu).. but I was wrong.. I was half shouting in happiness when I saw this thing..

From my beloved hubby.. :)

Yeay!! I got an Ipod Touch! the one that I was eyeing for.. I was planning to buy it later on when I was rich enough.. hehe.. thank you Abang! Love you to bits!!:) I'm now a happy Ipod user..;)

Red is the theme.. incidental, I think;p thank you Aimi & Jamilah.. :)

As it was quite late when we left Fairuz's house, we decided to drop by k.Azy & Taqi's house as they were hosting a birthday party for Muslih.. the food was super lovely! I think that was the first time that I had steamboat.. hehe.. it was a lovely party.. To Muslih, happy belated birthday! :)

We also had another birthday party invitation.. but as we reached Limerick quite late, we had to turned down the invitation.. we're very sorry k.Agee & uncle.. I felt so guilty when I found out that she was planning on celebrating my birthday as well.. and that she got me a birthday present.. huhu.. Sorry k.Agee.. *my guilty feeling hasn't subside yet* huhu.. to Aqilah, happy belated birthday!! hope you have a blast birthday! :) to k.Agee, thank you very much & I'm very sorry that I wasn't there.. :(

Apart from my husband being sick, I am a very happy birthday girl! Alhamdulillah.. All praise to Allah who has granted me with good health, happiness, loving families and a loving husband, and great friends whom I considered as my own brothers and sisters.. Thank you Allah.. and thank you for those who remembered my birthday either with your wish or in your du'a and for those who had planned and made effort to celebrate my birthday (can't thank you enough!!).. may Allah bless you always..

p/s : Happy belated birthday to my beloved sister, K.Yah, whose birthday was yesterday.. may you get the best in dunia & akhirat! love youuuu... :)
