Here goes my weekend...

Okay, it is Tuesday and I know I owe my weekend updates… Keh keh…

When I reflect, it was quite sedate, my weekend. No rescue operations or surprise trips… Just a nice, normal weekend.

Saturday, well…. Can’t quite recall my Saturday apart from the usual routine. Oh, Mum called to say Mail is home with some friends and she made nasi ayam. Yum-mee ! Hubby came home early so we fetched the kids and went straight to Mum’s house and duduk mengadap the steaming hot food. Hubby had 3 huge helpings, I had 2 and it was delicious.

“No dinner for me, tonight…” He declared, unbuttoning his trousers.

Yeah right.

Sent the kids to their paternal grandparents’ house as we had to borrow Atuk’s big car to return our new kitchen stools that was made not to our specifications. Strict specifications, okay ? The details were jotted down, I saw it as it was reflected in my copy of the invoice but still came to us 6 inches short. Spent some time at the furniture maker and returned to the PIL’s after an hour.

Ate some dokong with MIL and went home.

By 7 pm at my daughter’s “I am so hungry, my tummy hurts ..”, took out the chicken wings I marinated the day before and started the grilling process. Made potato and sweet potato rosti, helped by Adik and some pasta salad.

“Mummy, why is this potato ada orange bits ?” Asked my very fussy Abang.

“Makan sajalah…” Said Mummy.

“It is sweet potato lah, Abang.. I know.. Tadi saya tolong Mummy….”

Dengar saja a foreign ingredient, Abang put his rosti back. Gatal lah ko, Adik…

Went upstairs to watch err.... oh yes, Angels and Demons and slept.

Next morning, picked up Mum, left the kids at her house and went our way to Pasar Kelang. Mum bought loads and loads of fish. It was super cheap. Had breakfast with my family then balik.

I had warned hubby not to bring the kids with us to the pasar. “Nanti budak2 nangis…” said I because the condition is horrendous. Me who is a staunch advocate for clean environments straightened up my back, forced a steely resolve and determination that nothing can break me before I entered, knew however that it could break my kids. SO tak payah bawak.

From the gate, I saw hubby stiffened. He who actually doesn’t really care, stiffened. O-kay….. Before entering, he said, “Ini bukan budak-budak aje nangis, I pun nak nangis…” Ha ha… so you can just imagine how bad it is.

But the fish and crustaceans are cheap and fresh, so you have to do what you have to do, yeah ? We spent a good hour or so, trying to keep our feet dry but it was a losing battle. Lost one, to be precise. Saw a couple in their matching butcher’s boots and vowed to get one too if trips to this pasar is going to be frequent.

He he…. Kamalia picked me up at 11.30, sent her kids to her mum’s pulak (we are so lucky mak bapak keliling saja…) and off we went to a pampering session at Kaki Ku, SACC Mall.

40 minutes of reflexology and heart to heart sessions, 20 minutes of hand and shoulder massage, no chatting this time as we were taken to separate rooms then a spot of light lunch at Nachos Nachos. By the time we got into the car, it was pouring. Kamalia fretted about her laundry and I fretted about hubby not answering my phone to open the gate. I suspect he was just being impossible because I went out for 3 hours.

Luckily after 5 minutes waiting outside, he answered the phone. Kamalia drove in and he came out with umbrella ready.

“Nasib baik Ya ! Aku ingat dia nak chom dah........” Kamalia laughed. Husbands….

Watched the telly a bit with a husband who was trying his darnest to be cordial to me (dia sebenaqnya memang dok chom…. ) then got ready for Elyas Azrul Fizal’s party at A&W Subang Jaya.

“You are not happy with me, are you ?” I asked dear husband in the car.

“No lah …” He said, eyes crinkling with relief that I actually noticed and kepura-puraan.

Sighed….. “Oh please…..” and that was all he needed.

“I lapar tau ! You didn’t feed me. You pegi lama… 3 jam…” With a pout… So childish. “Eleh, you kalau pegi main bola tak ingat rumah tangga, tak pe….” Kata ku… dalam hati… he he….

“Hubby… we had a big breakfast and a late one at that… I know you are not hungry….” I reasoned gently. “And besides, you bangang ke sampai snacks pun tak leh cari ?” Not so gently this time. As expected he laughed happily.

Saja je….

The kids had fun, the parents happy with the excellent food (A&W is the best, okay ?) and friends to socialise with. Hubby and I took turns holding Emir, Ami and Nikman’s youngest and just had a good time.

The birthday boy likes Transformers and we were shocked to see Nikman’s family were kitted out with Transformers’ themed outfits. The Autobots’ logo were on every family member’s clothes, even Emir ! What a nice gesture for the birthday boy, you guys.

Thanks Nadia and Azrul. Happy birthday, Elyas.

No dinner as we ate close to 5 so just settled down watching telly.

So, it was okay and quite relaxed. Not too busy with the right amount of friends and family.

Bliss…..
