Luqman turned 24 last weekend. I forgot his birthday; and sent an sms one day late with "happy 24-years-and-one-dayth birthday".
And I was at the grocery store today with Iman and she said, nak beli potato chips lah untuk Luqman untuk birthday dia (Luqman had bought her baloons for her birthday!) She bought a few bags and added a couple bottles of soft drinks. Looking at the stuff I said, we should have a picnic for his birthday.
We cooked stuff for brunch and thought hard where to have the picnic. It has been raining everyday; the ground would be wet. And the clouds looked laden with rain again. We decided to eat at home after all, outside on the porch. We carried the table and all the food outside and ate. Kata Luqman lagi best makan kat sini dari picnic anywhere in Melawati. Nanti orang nampak malu - haha - what the heck?
And I have photos!
We had (from top photo) potatoes au gratin (kata Iman au gratin means anything that has got cheese and bread crumbs on it.. I wouldnt know), salad Veronique (orang putih bagi nama macam best je) - this is green seedless grapes, celery and grilled chicken salad with mayo actually, meat pies (I bought ready made pastry), Ayamas chicken (well I didnt have time to cook everything!) and assorted cake slices. And of course the potato chips and drinks.
And a view of our debilitating garden / pond from where we ate.
We actually had the nicest birthday brunch. MasyaAllah.
Dan teringat kata ustaz, lebih bermakna mengucapkan "selamat hari lahir; semoga sentiasa di dalam kebajikan". Bukannya semoga panjang umur. Apa gunanya umur yang panjang jika tidak dimanfaatkan rezeki Allah itu.
Selamat mencari rahmat Allah (diucapkan juga untuk diri sendiri).
