30th Anniversary

September 1, 2009 by juwita

Last week was a rather hectic one for me. My siblings and I were getting ready for our parent’s 30th anniversary.

As a gift, we threw them a surprise BBQ party. It was for the nearest and dearest.

Planning was easy and fun. Executing them plans on the other hand wasn’t as much fun. Going through ayah and ibu’s handphones to get their friend’s numbers. Texting and calling them to inform about it. The worst part was to wait upon the RSVP. Let’s not get started on that. Ayah knew about it and contribute beans and a lot of help. Especially in driving around his knackered daughter. Ibu on the other hand was clueless.

It was difficult to get ibu out of the house as it’s Ramadhan and not to forget the crazy H1N1 scene. We now try our best to stay indoors.

I got my auntie, Nde Suzie to help us out. She came down from Seremban and took Ibu out. It all went well. Though there were loadsa bumps along the way.

Guests came on time. More turn ups than the RSVP. Sigh. Most of the food was done by me. Punch was done by my lil brother, Aizat and the mee curry was done by our maid, Kak Umi. I marinated the lamb, beef, chicken and hotdog. I also made the potato pie, salad, chocolate dipping for the marshmallow and my very famous trifle.

I had a lot of fun that night though I was totally knackered and did look tired. Am glad that everyone who came had enough to eat and enjoyed themselves.
