Plum tired

What a weekend I had! Play and eat was the order of the day or the 2 days. On Saturday, we went to Along's. Everybody came. Everyone seemed alright except for the twins. They were walking funny. Hmmmm, very strange indeed. But they still play well though. MakLong set up a playhouse on the balcony and we had a great time playing house. Then, the feast. The Sunday meeting, we went to Obe' Zai's place. Not every came ... Abg Omar and Kak Lyana were missing. However, that didn't stop me from playing with my other cousins though. All the kids gathered in their groups, big bro and the rest of the big boys plunked in front of the PC. Big sis with the girl cousins went into one the rooms to play house/classroom thingy, leaving me to play with whom else, Fayyadh and sometimes Jabbir. I was running, pushing and hiding everywhere. It was fun squared. And of course after that, it's makan time. Now, I'm bushed. Its recovery time before the next weekend comes along.

BBQ

We had a small bbq party with papa’s side of the family yesterday. Not everyone could make it. Obe’ Acik’s family went on a holiday in Malaysia and Obe’ Odin’s couldn’t make it. So, with Obe’ Noh and A’ang, papa started building the bbq pit to start burning some food. It was a rather smoky affair to my thinking. But it look quite fun just the same. However, before I continue, papa asks me to put in this warning; “Kids, do NOT play with fire … ever” The wives had prepared the food to be smoked, and it looks to be very filling for me … hihihi. We had chicken and beef satay, chicken wings, fish balls and sausages and even big smelly fishes to be grilled. Nek Idah brought mee goreng too. Here are a few more pictures of the great cookout. While the dads were busy slaving away in front of the hot pot; we, the kids had a fun time playing along the corridor. All in all, we had a fun time yesterday.

About an Apple

Let me relate you a story about an apple. A big juicy apple ... yum yummm. We were on the bus ride home from Vivocity. Papa and I were sitting in a seat in front of this girl and her papa. You know me, when I'm restless, I start finding things that amuses me. So as the story goes, I began playing peek-a-boo with the girl behind me. We were having so much fun when her papa gave her an apple to munch on. It was a lovely apple. A big red juicy apple … that made the sweetest crunch when the girl bit into it. Oooo ... I can just taste it in my mind again. As I looked lovingly at the girl eating the big red juicy apple, her papa realised that I was watching the apple, wanting the apple, waiting for an apple. So he fished out another one of those monster apples and I eagerly stretched my hands to get it from him. Papa was by now giving me his "comical-disapproving" face, but he eventually thanked the nice man for the apple. With an apple in hand, I quickly sat down to munch down on the luscious fruit. Since I don't have enough bite power, I began scrapping the apple and what a heavenly taste it gave. I was right about the fruit when I saw the girl eating it. It made a soft crunch when I began to bite little pieces off as I got a grip of the white flesh of the apple. It was delicious!

Me and my Toblerone

We were at Asu’s place a few weeks ago. All my young cousins were there. And you know when everybody makes it to the impromptu gathering, all Hal breaks lose. Nenek was giving out candies and sweets and stuff. Looking at big bro and big sis and even the twins getting choco”licious” candies, I just tried my luck, stuck out my hand and got myself a mini Toblerone. What luck! And to add to that, my parents were somewhere at the 2nd floor so using some quick thinking skills, I shoved the candy bar at Atuk’s face and was astonished that he opened the wrapper for me. I couldn’t believe it; I’ve slipped through the system and got myself a ready-to-eat chocolate bar. A few minutes later, this photo was taken by mama of me on Alya’s chair. What can I say, the Toblerone was splendiferous.
