Quadruple Celebration!

The Hamdan family is in the mood for celebration.

We've decided to have birthday or anniversary celebrations on a quaterly basis.

So, for first quarter of 2012, we gathered at Seri Muara Alai Ikan Bakar to thank Allah for His continuos blessings in the form of our beautiful family members - Fizul, Mira, Mak and of course the new addition to Hamdan family, Fauzi.

Moga berkat usia dan murah rezeki. Aamin...

New Year Eve BBQ

First of all, I would like to thank Kak Nani for agreeing to be the host for Tok Nani's family BBQ. The initial plan was for me to throw the party at Astaka Heights, at the swimming pool area, on the eve of new year.

I totally forgot that JMB will be organising its second year of new year countdown. So I proposed Pak Nit's instead. However, logictically speaking, the new place seems not that conducive for a big family event.

NY Celebration @Astaka Heights

One of the good thing I like about the JMB of Astaka Heights is their effort to promote interaction amongst the residents of this 4 years plus neighbourhood.

This is their second time of new year countdown.

I was there the first time they organised it on 2011 new year eve. And it was really like a big family gathering. They held games, karaoke session, lucky draws, of course, makan-makan, and the lighthight of the night was the countdown itself with a brief fireworks display to mark the coming of 2011.

And this year, they add a theme, which is Hawaian Night and there will be best dressed awards to those who dress the best according to the theme.

Unfortunately, I won't be attending this because I've a family BBQ in Salak Tinggi.

My whole family members will be joining Mak Lang's family for a makan-makan project. If it turns out to be a success, insya Allah, we will have it as our annual affair with more participation from other family members.

Thank You, Mak!

Alhamdulillah, dalam sakit-sakit ni, merasa juga makan di medan ikan bakar Alai, Melaka.

Tapi aku tak jamah makanan laut, setakat cubit-cubit manja ikan siakap bakar sambil layan sebungkus nasi lemak.

This family dinner was sponsored by my beloved mother. Pada mulanya, aku memang tak dapat hadir, sebab baru saja balik minggu lepas. Memang kuasa Tuhan, dah tua-tua ni, ditakdirkan aku terkena chicken pox. Baliklah aku ke pangkuan mak, abah dan adik-adik tercinta.

Alhamdulillah, the whole family was there. Alhamdulillah, terima kasih mak. Moga murah rezeki. Aamin...

Pasal keenakan makanan di sini, let me put it this way, the other place tastes much better!
