I just had to get the message across to ABE. My eye signals to him for the last 5 minutes had not been able to catch his attention. Poor Nissa had to be the messenger. She was to deliver this one important message to her Daddy, “MAMA AJAK BALIK NOW!!!”
We were at ABE’s cousin’s wedding yesterday noon and my mental calculations had it that we should be heading back to Shah Alam latest by 1pm. I’ve gone to jengok the bride and did what was necessary at mingling with the in-laws. From a distance, I could see MIL looking at me from the corner of her eyes, giving that funny look and wondering how come I was making my rounds at greeting and saying good bye to folks at one go.
Thank God ABE read Nissa’s cue. The kids salam-salam with the cousins and finally when they salam with the Grandmother she popped THE question, “Kenapa nak balik cepat sangat?” I’d normally leave Farah to answer these type of questions in her subtle yet sharp words, worst still when said with her usual “berlagak” tone. The rest was history and we were well on our way back to Shah Alam. Fuuhhhh…lega!!
I wouldn’t want to miss today for anything, it’s the Makcik Blogger meet day!!! It didn’t matter much if we were a makcik ker, kak cik ker, dik cik ker, we all had this one thing in common, we have been blogmates – sharing our life stories, ups and downs, food for thoughts as well as food for the taste buds etc, etc (too long of a list to put up, if you know what I mean). It would be the day when we were to meet face to face with the so many familiar online names like MrsNordin (who was kind enough to organize the event), Madam Tai Tai, Ms Hart, Kak Ezza, Ummi365 and the other blogs which I’ve been stalking off and on like SuperWomanWannbe, Wanshanna, Ibu, Zaitgha and also the regular commenters like Bella and Busybody. Of course, there was also TirelessMom – whom I am ever so familiar with.

Having TirelessMom with me definitely eased the butterflies in my stomach. But then as we approached the long table where a group of ladies was already seated, the whole quirky feeling just flew out the window. There was so much warmth, easiness and bonding amongst us already. Everyone was going like “ooo…”, “ahhhh…”, “wahhhh…” followed by loud cracks of laughter from various corners of the table. Tak sangka everyone could just "click", feeling so at ease talking to each other, recollecting some of the entries we had posted in our blogs. I could have sworn I saw the envious look on the waiters and waitresses faces when they saw us having fun all afternoon long. Like one of us said to them, “Hey, we ni semua makcik bloggers tau!!!” and may I add to that yang we are so proud and happy to be one. Personally, rasa tak puas nak bersembang with everyone, so I’m putting some of the words I wasn’t able to express to all here.
Here goes…

MrsNordin – Thank you so much for making it happen, what’s with initiating the meet, and taking you from your time with Nizzar to make the other necessary arrangements. And thank you for the gift too. It was beautiful, sayang nak pakai and dah letak dalam showcase!!! Love your bubbly self, and love that smile of yours (yang now boleh dilihat on Nizzar too!!)

Madam Tai Tai – Ahh,..you are off on your hols already. Thank you so much for the gift and yes salam perkenalan, though I don’t think we are strangers of any kind here. Demure, pretty and so, so proper you are and the title Tai Tai is one very suitable one for you. Happy Belated Birthday too dear!!
Ms Hart – I knew it was you when I saw you!!! Tak lain tak bukan itu lah Ms Hart, girl you are so YOU and that’s what I like best about you. Never mind the “baju ayam”, love your outfit..lip lap gitu kan!!! InshaAllah we’ll meet at tanah tumpah darah Hang Tuah when I go send Faris back in a few weeks time.
Ummi356 – Next time I see a Laura Ashley, I’ll be thinking of you!!! It was a lovely tote, brought it to work this morning and have paraded to my girls at the office. Then my girl came up with this brilliant idea. She said, “Puan next time we have training boleh kita bagi bag like this eh!!” Wallah girl, there you have it, the tote is an eye catcher, for sure.

Ibu – It was so nice meeting you. Like the part when you said, “Dapur berasap tiap-tiap hari even during the absence of Bibik…berasap Maggie!!” Bila baca blog, rasa macam tak berani nak mess around with someone as confident as you are. But bila dah kenal, heh..heh…lebih kurang satu kepala je kita and respect the “peaces” during the photo sessions.
The Principal – Lovely top you had yesterday, so well coordinated. Even though we didn’t get to chat longer yesterday but I know just like with everyone else, we could click kan. I like the things you are doing with the children at your centre. And because of that we have a couple of things in common. Thanks for the muffins. Had that for breakfast this morning :)
Wanshanna – Wished I had managed to chat longer with you too. Tak pe lah the next time around we catch up ok. Must also thank your girl for helping to snap pics of us before we left yesterday. I’ll be frequenting your blog from now on :)
SuperWomanWannabe – Memang will be frequenting your blog after this, who knows I could get a tip or two about becoming a superwoman as well. So much in common kan we are, the “wannabes”. Well at least we try kan…and is the maid back already? :)
Zaitgha – Thanks for the tarts. It was sinfully delicious. Rest assured, you’ll be hearing from me very, very soon!!! Ni tengah clicking on your blog to see which is the most sinful to order. Watch out for my email yah :)
Busybody – Wished I had more time to chat with you too. Do come and busybody at Sembang at Kay’s yah!! That way we can both be busybodies :)
Bella – Hurry girl, get that blog going, pour all your heart out in it. We all have lots to say about “that” department. So no worries yah dear.
And last but not least, TirelessMom – glad you made it to the meet, fresh in the Phuket tomyam scent..heh..heh. The privy in the car helped a lot. Thank god yah, I didn’t mix up the names for that would have made it in to my cringe list then.

Kak Teh,
Alah...don't be sad!!! Sedih kita orang tau. WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER ONE when you get back to Tanah Melayu, that I PROMISE you. In the meantime, you enjoy your reads from our postings.

Kay,
Yes, it was really nice to have met up with you finally, but a pity tak sempat nak borank-borak panjang. Next time kena buat macam musical chair baiiikkkk punyer so that everybody will be able to mingle mongle (and we'll probably need to start from breakfast sampai lah ke dinner time!)
Looking foward to the next get together!
Queen,
Memang happening!! Guess next time Concorde would think twice about allowing bloggers to meet at their premise, esp Makcik bloggers like us :)
Yezza Ummi!!
Hai..whole morning ader things to submit plus a short meeting after that. Tu pun curi-curi writing, fearing I'd miss the details.
Nak pi Shenzhen??? Bolehhssss...siapa lagi nak ikut??
Us lovely?? Of course!! Yang penting we are happy the way we are and what were are doing kan :)
Wanshana,
The pleasure is mine too. Next time we'll have to put up some music and get everyone to move around to do the musical chair thingy yah :)
No probs, next round we start with morning tea, then lunch, followed by hi-tea and dinner (ala-ala gomen seminar gittu, 6 meals...heh.heh) If still not enough, then we sambung mamak teh tarik daaa....

Next venue is your place. I bet you were so teruja to post this one despite the meetings and hard work today. Make sure ABE is around bila meet at your place, siap with v cam lagi.

I can see that you're a warm person..memang i pun rasa tak puas borak dgn you..mmm, I am a naturally quiet person.
Tumpang lalu sikit, I tried to comment on tireless mom's blog tapi x boleh. Just wanted to tell her that I just remembered on my way home that she's my cousin's batch kat stf-Haiza Abd Hamid.
Busybody
Busybody (whom you are not :))
No worries, nanti we borak sampai ke pagi yeah. Ahh tu dah jadik pyjama party pulak kan..heh..heh.
Oh..I'm sure TM will drop by again and get your message. Btw, were you from THE all girls boarding school in Sban tu? What year eh, if I may ask.
Tumpang lalu Kay, to Busy Body
Alamak sorry lah you tak dapat post comment. Nanti I check kan for you ok. Yes I remember Haiza. Kirim salam kat dia and please tell her we are having the srikandi 83 meet @ same Pot from 1 to 5 pm this Sunday 28th Dec.
Hi Kay!
Yeap..I am from that school, SPM 84. Are you from there as well? If yes, no wonder u look familiar..
Busybody
Busybody,
I was not from that school. Me day school only mah, but in Sban lah. Reason why I asked is because my two best friends were also from there. If you get the chance to read other postings on my travels,esp the one on the "Bajaj Experience" you'll see them - Muni & Jupe. Do you know them? SPM81
kay,
glad that we met...enjoyed my time with all of you on Sunday....lambat comment nih monday until this afternoon i kat PD tak der net pulak hissshhhh...
