On Thursday, I received a call from a friend, "Hey Ely, I dah beranak lah. Last week on the 22nd. Si kecik nih nak keluar cepat pulak!".
That was Sharun, a friend who lives in Walnut Creek. She just gave birth to her 4th baby girl 3 weeks earlier than expected.
Then she went,"I nak datang rumah you on Sunday morning at 9am OK tak? I nak hantarkan daging akikah untuk si kecik nih". "Mestilah boleh!", I sad...takkan lah tak boleh.
You see, when she was pregnant she did not feel too well to be going out of the house for a couple of months. So after the birth, I guess she 'bayar niat' asyik nak keluar rumah jer. Which is good! I would do the same if it were me!
So today's the day...the morning that we're going to have company for breakfast! Woke up at 6am, after not a really goodnight's sleep. For some reason last night, David keeps rolling on me, NOT in a romantic way. Each time I had to say ,"DAVID...you're sleeping ON ME!". Yeah and 30 minutes later, he would do the same thing again.
So kway teow goreng is already in the kuali. My daughter, Masturah, is in the kitchen , making batter for jemput-jemput pisang (yeah she's now regretting it! Cos wished that she could sleep longer!). And after this, I am going to make some teh susu. David is in the garage, taking pictures of some clients products for online auctions and my son, Mat, was dragged to the garage to be David's photo assistant. And the cats are busy roaming out in the back and front yard, maybe doing their 'morning business'.
OKlah kan the menu? Kway teow goreng, jemput-jemput pisang and teh susu. Oh and I have some beef bacon and maybe some pancakes for the kiddies!
One and a half more hours before they come. Mata masih ngantuk lagi. I'll just take a shower and clean a little bit more before they come :)
Anyone care for breakfast at Ely's?

ely, hope the breakfast with harun went well. how is she? and did you send her my salam. have not heard from her for a long time and i guess she must have been quite busy. had not seen her at rantauan either. wonder how she is coping with all four or five?
Elly,
You are great girl! Woke up early in the morning to fix breakfast for a friend. I don't think I would be able to wake up that early on my off day. It is my sleep in time on the weekends. I am so glad that we finally be able to meet in San Diego. Keep in touch okay. Hi to your family. Jul.
kak teh : alamak, i terlupa nak sampaikan ur salam to her cos i asyik mengadap the baby sampai lupa. but i shall call and let her know ok. she is doing fine, very happy. dah anak 4 pun masih soft spoken and extra happy i tengok. she is coping OK with the 4. her husband is still on a 3 week vacation. her parents are coming next week, so more help for her. the 3rd baby, only 1.5 yrs old. so that makes it a lil bit hectic.
jul : thanks for coming by my dear. yes sure definitely will go to SD again. my husband says that u and ur husband r such nice sweet people. next time, ur house for bbq? jul, thanks for being my friend for almost 5 yrs! u're just as sweet as sound :)
