It's an unusually cold morning in Kampung Gersit as the rain came down in the middle of the night and continued unabated until mid-morning. Some section of the kitchen got flooded as a result which put a temporary damper, so to speak, to the planned barbeque cum Sadia's early birthday celeb to be held that day.
By party time at 4 pm, the light breeze provided the early guests - all relatives invites - with a welcome distraction as others trickling in at a slow pace into the gathering.
Sadia, the birthday girl, was subsequently put down for a nap at 430pm. The Do finally got under way shortly before 5pm with a brief 'doa' being recited by FIL.
After an hour's worth of nap, we decided to bring Sadia down, much to her protest, to blow out the candles on her large birthday cake. She almost cried looking at the whole commotion and people she didn't know. But the two bright, flickering candles mollified her.
We got some presents in the form of clothes, and one long and vibrant caterpillar. Thanks people!
The grub comprising assam laksa, spaghetti bolognese, spicy fried rice, sausages and fish balls on skewers, and marinaded lamb and chicken, was a hit with the guests. I like the lamb especially. Thank goodness for my SIL, a chef-cum-restauranteur extraordinaire!
