It's 7.25 am and the kids r up already. I got out of bed and made Darwish's baby formula n prepare Danish's breakfast. Today he wants to have roti butter. Isn't that's what he wants everyday?? Kids..how simple life is for them. Ok brush teeth, force the bread down his throat, give Danish n Darwish a bath, then my turn... Ok all set. Today's event is a cooking lesson in Malaysian cuisine. Beef curry to be exact. Marion and Corinne will be my 'apt pupil'. They'll arrive around 10 am. Marion came at 10.20 am. It's hard for her to leave cause she had to prepare the kids before she leaves the house. We were just about to start when Corinne arrives. She will be preparing the vege and the dessert. Marion will bring the bubblies. Love thy neighbour.. I really do love these two angels. They are the reason why I'm still sane. They do go out of their way trying to fit me and my kids in their already hectic schedules so that we're not bored or lonely. Bless their souls. Ok, lets start.. oopps Marion had to go back to get her notepad (to jot down all the important details, i presume!). She was furious when she came back cause the kids are playing play dough on the couch, Kye had a screw in his hand and Craig was nowhere to be found. So I asked her "..then who's in charge? Wiley?" (Wiley is their dog, he's soo adorable) we all burst into tears laughing our heads off. Men!! So typical of them. The cooking went well with us bitchin' about our life's predicaments. It seems that we're not as different as we thought. All of us has the same problems- kids, husbands, lack of attentions etc. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Ooppss.. gotta get the kids ready, they'll be here soon. Corinne is the first one to arrive - with a box of chocolate. How sweet! Marion is a bit late so Corinne popped over to see how's everything going, seems that they are having a bit of a tiff there. Poor Marion! Anyway, she managed to get her butt to my place and we had a blast of a time! The food was great, Corinne did everything according to the book and it came out to be exactly like how it looked in the book! Amazing! The berry fool was divine and to die for. Danish was throwing a tantrum because he didn't sleep at all in the afternoon and is now getting very cranky. Darwish was cleaning the dining floor with his knees and drool - happy as he can be. Little spunky monkey! Anyway everybody had a good time. We bonded more that nite. It's as if I've lost a family and gained 2 more here. They're like big sisters that I've always wished for. I thank god for bringing these two lovely ladies in my life when I really, truly needs it. Syukur alhamdulilah... So ladies, when is the next gathering...???
