homemade blues

The plan to have adults only get-together once a month, that is. Last night, G and I went to dinner with two couples. The boys were sent to Mak Usu's house - ada barbeque. We went to TGIF Subang Parade, and had a gala time laughing. We were so noisy, maybe they cleared everyone else from the non-smoking session (by the time we left, we were the only ones there!).

It was fun. Last month dgn Liz with our fine-dining experience, and this time around dgn Nora and Bardunk's wife - apekenamenya - ha, Nurul. Next month, tak tau lagi la.

But it's great fun. I don't deny the power of laughter. Tapi semalam sampai senak perut listening to Mokz and Bardunk's story-telling. Ntah apa-apa. Good times.

Today we're planning to bring the boys to see Bolt. Promised D we'll go to see this movie after Madagascar 2 hari tu. Tomorrow noon, we'll be sending the boys to KB via flight. The plan is to drive up to KB on Thurs and drive back to KL on Sat or Sun. But looking at the weather, I have no idea whether we want to brave the possibility of the flood. G's checking the weather report every few minutes now.

Seems like I'm a planner, ya? I suppose so. I have plans and backup plans and backup plans to the backup plan (phew!) for almost everything. I wish I could say that everything I planned (and had backup plans for) goes according to plan. Kita cuma merancang, Allah yang menentukan, kan?

Sigh. D is in a "not-much eating" phase. Last 2 weeks, he had a nasty episode when he had a binge (that's all I can say to describe what Bibik Oom told me) - 2 full bowls of breakfast cereals, then rice, then orange juice, then milk, then cookies - not necessarily in that order, and I can't remember the others. He was pleading Bibik to bring him to the hospital! Sakit sangat dah tu. She gave him gripe water, and massaged his tummy with oil, and he gave the loudest and longest burp ever to come out of his 5+ year old mouth. Ever since then, he gave strict instructions to Bibik that he wants to eat (and drink) only "sikit". And he's kept to it. So he's slimmed down quite a bit. Kesian.

Wish I had his determination. Hehe.
