jubilant

yes, i'm happy playing host last saturday. thank you to hubby who helped throughout the entire process, from grocery shopping to marinating chicken to preparing sunquick soda to fetching pian to grilling chicken and last but not least, being a champion to finishing the end products. :p

i believe everyone had fun, looking at the happy faces, wide grins while enjoying the gastronomic feast. and...presenting


the menu
free flow of sunquick soda
oregano-spiced chicken
grilled burgers
sausages

salwa's potato outbest aussie-styled
salwa's mashed potato
salwa's garlic breads
MIL marinated prawns
alang's hawaian chicken & super supreme pizzas
kak nah's fried bananas
(dunno who bring)lo kam oranges


not bad uh? at first i wanted to deep fry nuggets and chicken balls/drummets but hubby said it'll be too much food. luckily i listened cos it's true, we can't even finish half of the food! not even when the eating machines pian & aim were around. how weird is that? or memang there were too much food .. hahaha seems like all inherit mak's tangan lebar kot

pity PIL who had to endure the long one and a half hour journey because of bad traffic at mrr2. but almost everyone arrived at the same time. and the kids and guys straight away went into the pool. some refused to go out sampai tangan kaki all dah kecut.

not many photos taken cos moi was busy. notice i didn't write much about alif? reason being he was so busy playing with dear cousins he forgot to eat and even seek mommy & dad. eee main dah tak ingat ape dah.. and yes, yet another series of mengigau later that night

nway after makan and solat, while alang had to go back, the rest of the clan all ngadap tv for karaoke sessions.. hahahaha suara sumbang and off-pitch off-key jangan cakap lah.. bergegar block b building okay?

alhamdulillah, another magic moment added in my life.

I just switched to New Blogger. Wonder why my posting has disappeared.

What did I write just now? Yeah. Love to see you enhjoyed the family gathering thing.

I said, when you can take pride on the food preparation for the gathering, in my book, you must be a good cook.

mommy@lif said...

mph.. not a good cook.. but sure a good company :)
hahahaha know what- my siblings will definitely laugh their heads off if they ever read your kind comment

This is the good thing when family besar macam ni..family gathering mmg happening! My family and hubby's kecik je. So, we planned to have (and make) a big family like yours kalau ada rezeki...
Anyway, what can I say about the food. Baca je pun dah terliur...

rafiqah, hi.. lama tak nampak :) a'ah i dah terbiasa riuh rendah dengan my siblings kalau newcomers (menantu's like my husband or orang luar) surely need to take time to adjust to the havocness. hahaha boleh pusing kepala kalau tak tahan. planning to have a big family? alhamdulillah.. now dah 2 kan? ihihi can start baking another one soon.
