Iftar with the Crew last Friday was whack!
Break fast at Es Teler Cineleisure. It was drizzling on that day. Maybe the sky was weeping with me. Ouh. Never mind. So..yah. Met Fad at the taxi stand & made our way to Cineleisure where the rest were waiting for us. Went to the basement (where Es Teler is located) and it was empty! I told them that maybe we should give it a few more minutes before 'chop-ping' seats. It was only 6.30! But they were adamant about being seated and to just wait. So we sat & chatted. It was a good thing we sat coz a few minutes later, a big group came to take a peep. Reckon they wanted to eat there too. Phheewww!!
Ordered our food and it came quite fast, I must say. It sure made my stomach growled harder! To distract myself, I listened to Fad's new composition. I wasnt able to comprehend the lyrics as it was pretty muffled. But it wasnt that bad lah. A few words here and there were audible. Ouh. And it was entitled 'Skies In Disguise'. He owed me BIG TIME! The inspiration came from my photos in my Friendster account.
The food? Hmmm...wasnt how I expected it to be. Wanna know more? Try it for urself yah. We then chilled at Spinelli. Rahmat & his GF, Serina, joined us. She's the impersonation of Jade Seah (with shades). Good choice Mat! Anyhoos. It's been a long while since we last had this kinda gathering. The last time was when we had our 'soak-up-the-sun' trip to Sentosa & celebrated Fad's 23rd. That was like *counting fingers* months ago! Early this year. So...Fad shared some 'bomb' with us. Seems like most of the girls from my class are mothers now! I was surprised upon hearing that this one particular girl is already a mum too! Well....things happen. Ouh! And one of us even had a vision. Soon the gathering will even include our juniors! Babies, toddlers & kids! Aaaaawwww...shoooo cute! *knocks head* we have yet to pass the stage where we'd bring our partners, now already thinking about babies! Chetz! Thanks for that brilliant idea of urs Mat!
After disseminating much 'bombs', we played mind-boggling games. Games where the players would really look stoopid at the beginning whilst trying to catch the ball. Geddit?? Yeap! We all looked stoopid, mind you. And surprisingly, Mat didnt know abt the 'Johnny-Whoosh' game. For once Mat. For once.
Before we called it a day, we were planning about our Raya gathering. (I know..still early right) Knowing the guys are always busy with their jams, recording & what-nots, we decided to plan early. Conclusion (as of then), it will be on the 4th week. *ponders* already quite basi leh! But that was just a rough date. Still have yet to come up with a fixed date.
Overall, I had a great time. Laughing, cracking, firing. I really hope we can all meet up for that Raya marathon.
Saturday & Sunday was more of clearing up the house and doing some touch ups. Heeeeee...
Ouh! Went to Geylang on the Saturday. Praises to Allah. I was able to get a lot the moment I entered the carpark. Alhamdulillah. It was packerooos!! Bumped into Kuz Sally & her parents. You bound to bump into someone whenever you are at Geylang lah. Bought my kebaya, Abg's shoes & Freako wasnt able to get her shoes. And of course, we bought food!! Lotsa food!! Finally, managed to find that stall. THAT stall. *giggles*
Didnt update abt the 'Roti Boyan' weekend. I kept bugging Gramps to make 'Roti Boyan'. Not that I dont know how to do. But I just wasnt sure abt the dough part. Didnt want it to turn out hard like a frisbee, you see. So she decided to do it the last weekend. Made quite a number of pieces. Bought some to my Tampines crib, some to iftar at my Maternal Uncle and some to Mr Ratatouille (Mr What??). Dont get me wrong. I WASNT trying to capture anyone's heart (as the saying goes 'to capture a Man's heart is thru his stomach'). NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! It was just high-time I returned for whatever he gave. And..and..it is strongly encouraged to share during this month of Ramadhan. Right?
How? Making you drool? Eat it with sambal. Fuuuhhh!! Btw, it is not burnt yah. It is like that.
Personally, the ones you find outside, the ones they label as 'Roti Boyan', is majority not 'Roti Boyan'. Those are 'Epok-Epok Boyan'. They deep-fried it, making it so crispy. Being a Boyanese, I just growl at the sight of these people calling that epok-epok 'Roti Boyan'. Of course, there are those selling the original ones but I bet you gotta Q, baby!
In the blink of an eye, Ramadhan is down to the last 10 days. The melancholic feeling is starting to spark. This Holy month is about to come to an end. Sure we will be celebrating the victory in one joyous ocassion. But have you ever thought, will you be here to usher in the month of Ramadhan again next year?
One of these 10 nights will be the magical night (Lailatul Qadr') we have all been waiting for. Will you be the lucky one? Insya'Allah.
I feel sad for those who lost their loved ones during this month, especially when Syawal is nearing. My heart is with you. But the most heart-rending case is the loss of dear sister Nurin Jasmin Jasimin. Those animals ought to be slaughtered for their indespicable act. Such animals they are!
Let us all pray for Nurin's soul, and the souls of all our loved ones, to rest in peace. Insya'Allah. Al-Fatihah.
