The dinner

Yours truly

 Waited for the speeches to finish. HM delivered quite a good speech about how your shoes took "efforts" to get used to your feet so that the shoes will be loved by you! ;-)

Naj has got a fish!

 And he is a happy boy!

Naj and Sya enjoying their dinner

Ashraf  having a great time with grilled fish and
hot and spicy sauce with oranges!

 

Yours truly had a great time enjoying all the great company and great food! This was heavenly!

Lending her presence

Front: Yours truly, Zaleha
Back: Hj Sahar, Hajjah Sahanim

She is lending her presence to the students who were attending the motivational talk prior to sitting their UPSR exam end of this year. And she is glad she could do that!

Beach-ing out!

The ever inviting sea!

Yours truly and a woman in pink

Yours truly in semi serious talk with En. Ismail

Rows of gorgeous kayaks ready to be taken!

She spent the weekend having too much sun than her skin could afford! She hopes that the skin will not revolt too badly. But the company and the hospitality of everyone else is simply great! The food was simply great!

Glorious food?

 Do not remember what sushi are these, but they were oishi! But she wished that the Japanese chef did not mould the wasabi by hand! So geli man! :-)

 Some soba in clear water soup. Not bad a choice for weight watcher! It was so clear that even the lighting was reflected in the soup!

 Vegetable fritters. The equivalent to cekodok sayur! Yummy!

 Chicken chop. Nothing spectacular. Normal bolognese or bolognese flavored sauce from the bottle or can and countable chips!
Over priced for normal food like this! ;-(

 Another peasant food. She couldnt understand why the chef was so stingy with the chips. Fish was less than fresh. Could have been better, but the her boy ate them all, happily! ;-)

Coffee was great and such a rescuer to these less than great dinner! Should have known what not to order next visit, if any!

The humble Malay traditional dessert - Bingka Ubi

The humble "Bingka Ubi"

Two humble Bingka Ubi(s) ready for collection!

She still bakes this traditional Malay dessert but upon requests. And this time's requests came from Mdm Safiah of PBB, PR and her new customer, Hj Yahya of Air Hitam.

She hopes that is "hangus"/burnt enough as specifically requested by Hj Yahya! According to him, the burnt portion is his favourite! She cant understand her customers at times. But she tried to adhere to her customers' request, no matter how peculiar it could be!

Mdm Safiah and Hj Yahya, thank you for your support and enjoy the Bingka!

Today should be endless!

Your host decided that she should end this awesome week with a fresh injection to her insatiable desire for knowledge. Hence she found herself sitting among the participants of "The Law on Wills - Islamic Perspective" seminar presented by Tuan Haji Nordin Bin Yusoff, Advocate & Solicitor, of Messrs. Nordin Yusoff & Co., Petaling Jaya.

The Laws on Wills : Islamic Perspective
27th May, 2011 - TJB, JB

Your host was so intrigued by the contents of the Seminar that she changed seat from the back row to the very first seat right at the front row! And each and everyone of the participants was very attentive and appreciative of the seminar! Obviously everyone did not want to lose the chance to pose questions to the Speaker. The Speaker was kind enough to answer all questions, including those that were asked to him off the seminar time!

And the sharing from the Speaker's personal collection of the late Ahmad Deedat's lecture at New York Uni was simply awesome! Your host found the way the late Ahmad Deedat's recited verses from the Quran just like that was really amazing and jaw dropping! Subhanallah!

And in support of the Speaker's Islamic dakwah, your host and other participants willingly purchased a copy of the Holy Quran. This Author of this Quran devoted 30 years of his life to write this. If someone could devote 30 years of his life to write this, this piece of his devotion is undoubtedly worth buying and reading!

The Speaker was sweet enough to oblige your host's request to autograph this Holy Quran - for the remembrance of attending his Seminar! The rest of the people who purchased the Holy Quran followed suit! However, your host is still trying to decipher the scribble!

In support of the Speaker's Islamic dakwah!

To Junaida, I hope you are amused by this holy book!
- your host would want to read it as such!

The Master of Ceremony did a great job by putting all those participants together in a comfortable auditorium to listen to this awesome Seminar! Kudos and thank you to JBC for organizing this awesome Seminar! And thank you to the Speaker for such great sharing of useful knowledge!   

My Mother - Part II

The smiles are still the same - over the years!

Mother: Can we go and visit Penang?!

Penang, here I come!

The more your host looks at her, the clearer she hears the clock ticks. Your host's mother was born in 1934 (could have been much earlier!) as per her NRIC. She is now about 77 years young! She suddenly gave your host a hint that she would like to visit Penang. Your host had no idea that she has been wanting to visit this particular northern state of the Peninsula.

O Mother, how can your host not take this God's given opportunity to make you happy, by taking you to see places like Penang. Your host shall make the necessary arrangement, Mother and we shall explore Penang together sooner than you know, Mother!

O God, thank you for giving your host this opportunity to give happiness to her Mother.

Penang, be ready, my Mother is coming to see you!
