27th November 2009
As a last minute planning, tonight we hosted a small dinner for our family. Since we celebrate Aidil Adha in Brunei tomorrow, we decided to start the gathering with a mass Isya' prayer followed by takbir recitation.
Afterwards, we recited a doa selamat in conjunction with three of our family members who celebrate their birthdays this month, namely daddy (1st November), mummy (29th November) and Mama Usu (19th November).
For dinner, we had Hainanese Chicken Rice as well as Sarawak Laksa. Again, mummy was the only chef for tonight's menu since daddy was working during the day and nini bini (our usual chef) was busy preparing for her catering business reservation due this weekend. We hope everyone enjoyed the meal.
And of course, the must-have event is done right after dinner. Daddy and mummy both have a cake each, and Warya family bought another cake for them, and for Mama Usu as well. That means... we had three different kinds of birthday cakes!
Here are pictures taken from tonight's gathering:

Blowing the candles, with a little help from SafiyaAs a final note, daddy and mummy would like to thank everyone for coming, and a special gratitude for those who gave them their birthday presents. Frankly, they were not expecting presents at all and just want to have a nice family dinner, but the kind thought is very much appreciated.
