a simple impromptu kenduri

when i woke up yesterday, well when mum woke me up yesterday, she said that we are gonna have a kenduri tonite.......... i was like, errrr, u got to be kidding me.......... i mean like who decides to go have a kenduri like on a day itself rite....... i was like mum, can we do it like tmrw nite or next week ke.........but then she said to me, tmrw nite, we can do it, but then on monday morning who's gonna suffer.....me, dad and u rite..........and if we wanna do it like next week, u won't be around rite, coz u have a treasure hunt.........hmmmmmmmmm, she got a point there.............plus tonite is a saturday nite, people will normally relax at home, well people who are age and also who wants to spend time with their family and also ur tok chu is coming to town..........so i think mum has a point there..........

asked mum what was the occassion for the kenduri, well she said it was the yassin, tahlil arwah for the love ones that who have left us and also the kenduri selamat for tok arun (tok chu's hubby) who is gonna have an operation this coming tuesday and also tok chip (granny's bro) who went for a heart bypass last week.........just to make prayers to the great one asking for blessing for all..........

so during lunch, mum ajak me to go for chilli's at klcc coz as usual she wants to have her lamb shoulder.......... as for me the normal chicken crispers on the menu please.......hehehehehe........before we left for lunch, mum called granny to ask for tents a.k.a khemah just to make sure that guests are in shelters in case that it rains...... just a step of precautious........ but when we were waiting for our food at chilli's, got a call from home that the people that who is gonna pasang the tents are there already........and we were like, aiyo why so fast this people........we said that we wanted to pasang the tents in the evening so that we can do errands in the morning.......but then nevermind......just need to find someone to move dad's car which is still in the porch......... managed to call uncle alas to remove the car so that the tent people wouldn't hit the car when they are installing the tents.............

after lunch, went for shopping for a while, well actually it's mum not urs truly.....i just accompany her and also became her personal fashion advisor aka giving opinions on the clothes that she's trying out...........basically, nowadays, i'm a fashion advisor for 2 people, mum and sweetie........hehehehehe..........for them it's foc, for the rest charged by seconds........... so anyone interested? hehehehehehe..........

went home and reached bout 2ish..the tents are all up already and it has a quite unique color to it, white and brown......so it is quite nice actually........after reaching home, i straight away changed my outfit and went to granny's place to borrow her fans and also some carpets for the people to sit on when they are doing the reciting later at nite.......... so took the van at granny's place and took like 5 large carpets with some help from uncle and also took 2 fans from granny's place........... when i've arrived home, the furnitures are already pushed aside courtesy from mum, the maid, and also the little rascals (lil sis and 2 more cuzzies).............hehehehehe........ so with the power bistowed in me, i ordered them to carry the carpets out from the van into the house.............hahahahahaha.................

later uncle arrived to my place and helped to arrange here and there to............ and have make invites to the neighbours........it is 530 in the evening, and only the invites are out while the actual events is gonna happen bout 3 hours down the road.......hahahahahaha............ so we were really crossing our fingers, toes, legs, hands and u name it la, anything that we can cross, we cross, hoping that people will turn up for the kenduri........what a gamble rite........hehehehehehe......plus, normally dad is the one who will do the invites...........but since dad will only arrive at nite (around 8 dad arrived that nite), so i have to make the invitations and seriously i am not good in this.........ok peeps, if u wanna ajak people for kenduri, just make sure that u r wearing a proper attire not like me where i just wear shorts and t-shirts for a kenduri...hehehehehe......only realised it after i came home.......doink`~~~~.............plus some more, i said to the neighbours, uncle uncle, jemput datang tau for the kenduri, ader kenduri aper ntah tonite, yassin and doa selamat kot (not knowing how to say it).........hehehehehehehe

after some cleaning up and also arranging the furnitures for people to eat, went to took my shower and later went out to get the sate that we ordered earlier........well mum did not me.......hehehehehe............oh yeah forgot to list out the menus for the nite:

kuih tako

to our suprise, when the guests arrived, the number that attend for the function was quite a lot although due to the short notice invitation.......after some like an hour of recitation, the guests went out for meals and i've heard someone said, fahmi, cepat cepat, do what we always do when we have functions like these, cam-whoring.........hahahahahaha..... it was kak ain, one of my partner in crime in the family who loves to cam-whoring........quite a number of relatives attended the kenduri and it was special that my aunt and family who came back from vienna, could make it for the kenduri...........

later that nite, went to see sweetie since haven't seen her for 2 days..........

all and all, the kenduri went well
