B B Q Get Together

It's been a while since we had a BBQ get together and it's about time....I really enjoy organizing small parties and this round my aunt Zali and uncle Mail will be the guest of honor. Memang dah lama nak ajak both of them to our new home but..segan, ialah rumah tak seberapa compare to her luxurious lifestyle.

Unfortunately I have no pictures to share but among the rest of my guest were my sister and her family, Chelvi (colleague from work) and Divina, my Supervisor from work.

Since I was on leave the whole week of Hari Raya Haji, I spent time managing the kids and went shopping to get things moving along for the get together party.

Menu for the B B Q:

A must have - lamb and chicken (A two piece steak specially prepared for bro-in-law since he doesn't take lamb due to high blood pressure)
Garden Salad
Corn
Mash Potatoes (of course from KFC)
French Loaf
Mushroom Quiche (made by my sister)

It was simple and I wanted a dine in meal so that people can sit and chat while eating. Sitting capacity was sufficient at my 6 seater dining table.

Hubby was busy BBQ-ing while I did the entertaining part.

Aunt Zali has been like a mother to me since my mom passed away and she was the only aunt concern enough with my sister's and mine welfare. She was there at the airport sending me off to the States,our engagement, our weddings and for all the birth of our kids. Be it emotional support or financial...she has been there for us. She and her husband are quite well off and yes kadang2 segan bila dia invite us to her house. Don't know why but I guess perbezaan material darjat agaknya. She even caught me smoking in her duaghter's room (during my Sunway College years) and masa dia advise me about smoking she was seriously considering to stop smoking. And at the same time she was puffing away her Peter Styversant....eeemmmm very convincing. Anyway it was a year since we met and I was glad she accepted the offer to come to our humble home last weekend. She has 2 grown up kids, her daughter is married to an American Philippino and residing in San Francisco while her son is still single working in KL.

So that is why I invited Divina, my Supervisor. Being a Philippino I am sure they have a few things in common to talk about. Chelvi came in as she has been quite close with me since we started working at Cyberjaya. She is married to a Swiss guy who is working in UK. So its a long distance relationship and she sure can talk. So my get together will not be boring.

I really hope all enjoyed the BBQ and entertained by my son's clowning actions. My sister arrived slightly late as her sons music class was postponed to a later time. It ended about 4pm and I was exhausted to the bones. It was a success and there will be more BBQ to come....you can bet on it!
