Abang Erwan's Birthday

It was supposed to be a suprise birthday dinner.... and we were not
even supposed to park in front of the restaurant.. to draw him away
from the suprise... (This birthday party was planned by kak Neza, i am
sure, weeks before the birthday)

I almost went to the wrong branch of the restaurant... but was
sensible enough to make a call to confirm the place... but i made a
U-turn from the highway. No biggie... wan't that far off..

Everyone was starving while waiting for birthday boy (and girl - it
was also Hartini's birthday!) I was suprised when i entered the
building. Thought I was late... but someone was, as usual, more
fashionably late. Even more suprise to see a table of unfamiliar
people next to the family's table - they turned out to be abang's
friends...

When he entered the building and approached the table as he was
ascending from the stairs, we sang him a birthday song. it was
horrible with lots of pitch problems but it was loud :) he was
suprised... but he suspected something because he saw my car... but he
pushed the car sighting because he thought I came shopping for
supplies - phew!

We started eating.. and we gobbled up al the food on the table...
there were plenty.. enough to feed an army of hungry soilders -
literally!!! hahahaha... anywaysss....

as soon as we finished, the singing waiterssss started singing. It was
fun.... we all enjoyed it... I enjoyed it in particular. we all sang
along... not that we know the words to it.. we just sang the chorus.

We even involved the chinese table next to us... We didn't know
them.... they loved it but others were not happy with us, for example,
the Malay family that left early :P hahahahaha...

I was singing on top of my lungs... i was singing up to everything
they sang that i know... even if just humming.... and loudly despite
the horrible pitch :) hahaha... the table next to us (Abang's table)
was laughing and wondering who that loud and carzy person was...

Hartini (the birthday girl, whom was also a collegue) was also
suprised by the change in demenour :) hahahaha... never mind :) work
and home personality should be different :) and i need to let go..

The birthday party made me realise:
1. family, however annoying and painful to be with, are important.
Just distant yourself from poisonous ones.. i know i am going to keep
my distance.
2. to have people to share life with is special
3. i enjoy being silly
4. i like singing silly
5. i have not laughed in a long time
6. i'm starving from good conversations...
