If only you were here

If only you were here Judy it will be the best birthday party ever .... now see what you've missed! Anyway a happy birthday from John,Maria and me and may you be happy always.

It has been a cold day throughout we went to the supermart to get last minute stuff for our gathering and I've been busy cooking for about 4 hours as I have to make way for John to do his dessert kuih dadar.It was a busy day for John and Maria cleaning too 'macam nak raya pulak'.... hehehe

John invited his golf kakis (pakcik2 ni tak kira panas atau sejuk selalu di golf course depan rumah) and whose wives are Maria's friends too ''all retirees" (persara2 yg pandai mengisi masa - mcm2 activities mereka buat-malu saya) they play golf ,tennis,yoga,dancing classes,walking and doing own gardening.Such a happy life as I can see it all with big houses with none of the children living with them..... kenapa kita tak bolih buat mcm tu ye? berat tulang agak nya nak jln 1 batu pun tak larat (ni cakap diri sendiri ye).

The table settings .... split into 2 dining rooms .... and I learnt that husbands and wives are separated Maria and I are in the main dining room whilst John in the breakfst room... Maria kata so they don't cling to each other and have time talking to different people.The plates are set with their names written on each so its like musical chairs .... hahaha .... when it comes for food go look for your plate.

The appetiser ikan bilis goreng kacang using the mexican cili kering and my only disappointment the ikan bilis tak garing lemau je maybe the cold weather kot.

What did chef queen elle cook?????.................. here they are...........

Beef curry cooked on saturday evening so that it taste better the next day ( hehe actually also wanted Kristina and Robert to try).

Black pepper prawns with capsicum for those who doesn't take spicy food.

Lamb satay goreng....

The dessert tart nenas,cempedak and kuih dadar done by John.

The guests 5 couples who are indeed very beautiful and friendly people who enjoyed my cooking and hasn't stop praising me all night ( happy sokmo den).... haha and surprisingly they all can take hot spicy food.

For remembrance with the ladies Ann,Trish,Linda,Lisa,Judy,Maria and me.
