Lin's Birthday Party
We went to Red Box last night, to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was Lin's birthday, the one whose husband was diagnosed with the Big C. Since she couldn't join us in Krabi, we thought of doing something nice for her to make her happy. That's what friends are for, right?
I arrived late as I was stuck in a meeting at the office. Three of them were already there, warming up their vocal chords. I thought the buffet spread was pretty good. Ada oysters, prawns, sushi, some Mediterranean dishes, salads and desserts. Quite good for RM55+ (inc. drinks and room use until 3am).
I've never tried the buffet before. Usually I'd go with MrNordin after 10pm and just ordered coffee and some light snacks. But I think the after-office crowd should really go for the buffet. It's worth it.
So, we sang lah. For some reasons, the song selection was mostly Indon pop rock songs with the likes of Radja, Peter Pan, Samson and what have yous. Don't care, just sing eventhough I've never heard some of the songs before. Most importantly, we wanted to have fun. All 6 of us, menari dan melalak sakan dalam karaoke room tu. Hee.. hee... why is it that when girls get together, sure havoc punya?

Super Dee Duper Friends! (MrsN, Gylle, Lin, Liz, Intan, Dada)The birthday girl enjoyed herself tremendously. We bought her a cake. Then each one of us gave her a present. The ultimate of all gifts was of course the one from Dada: a pair of telekung! In a karaoke room?? Hee.. hee... We forced her to wear it to take a picture with (nasib baik tak kena suruh sembahyang!) Of course, it was the perfect gift in time of Ramadhan. BIG hint tu, babe!
With a tudung from Liz, our birthday girl ended her thank you speech by saying, "Kalau aku tak repent jugak after this, tak tau lah nak kata..."
Among the 6 of us, you can see that 4 of us masih belum bertudung. Belum sampai seru, kata orang. Dada & Liz have been dropping subtle hints at us to start wearing; so every time birthday, sure dapat hadiah macam ni punya. Dah berapa banyak tudung Dada bagi kat I, sejadah & what not. Tapi masih belum sedar. Insyaallah.. soon. We all know you mean well, Dada, and we love you for that!
Enjoy the rest of the pictures!

Glad to see you and your girlfrens enjoying yourselves! Miss you bila tengok gambar you ni..
Mula2 tak perasan lak Si Lin..lama tak jumpa kan...Salam to her and the rest..and semuga diberi kekuatan mengharungi dugaan..
Salam Ramadhan, tata!
Lin is sure a very strong lady. Those who dont know, when seeing the pics wouldnt know the pain and suffering that she is going thru now.
My salam to her and the rest..Dada, Liz and Intan. You all rock!
selamat berpuasa, dear..
Waaaaaa...Bestnyer!
That was really nice and sweet of you guys to throw the karaoke bday do for Lin. I'm sure she needed some time out to let loose and have fun, out of her current mentally and physically challenging routine.
You all looked good, maaaannn!!
Of course I remember that night! Funny, kan? But I think we didn't take any picture. So I don't remember which one I wore. It must be the red one!
Hey, I miss you too... :(
I told Liz about you, but I don't know your real name. Can you please?
Sheila Majid? Oh my! That must be ages ago! I pun pegi tau, the one at Stadium Negara (or was it Merdeka?), but not with her lah.
You and your friends pun apa kurang nya... This is one way for us to release stress lah!
It's good to know that after all this while, we still keep in touch. I suppose, the fact that we were in boarding together make us stick together. And also effort. Must put in effort to do this kind of thing. Otherwise, memang sah tak jumpa!
You take care now, dear! Hope to see you too one of these days!
It's true what you said. Whenever we meet, she doesn't really talk about her husband. So those who don't know, would probably don't know what she's going through. A strong person, really... can't believe she's made of some tough stuff!
I laughed too every time I see that picture!
Last kopek before start puasa... Selamat berpuasa to you too!
It's nice to do something nice for another person, isn't it? We did enjoy ourselves that night although for a short while only. On your last comment, THANKS!! Selamat Berpuasa to you and family!
Lovely gathering you had there,Mrs N.
Bestnyaa... dapat kumpul berkaroake!!!: Sekali-sekala.. luahkan bakat terpendam. Anyway, the most important thing was the thought that you guys had for Lin. She needs a break and strength from all the wonderful friends around her.
Selamat Berpuasa!!
Tgk pics je dah tau bertapa havocnye mlm tu. Lama ni dah tak karaoke.. Lepas raya ni mesti kena pergi Redbox nak melalak jgk.
Selamat Berpuasa.
We really had a good time dat nite! Infact, we even had so much fun when we were in Krabi. Pasal pakai tudung tu, hehehe...Liz and I will never give up our hope to see you guys wearing the tudung..I'm sure the Day will eventually come, insya4JJI. Who knows, one of our future trip we will go for umrah. Anyway, Selamat Menunaikan ibadah puasa di bulan Ramadhan to u and yr family.
I guess that's because girls nite outs are usually the time when we let our hair down! That's why poses dia sama je.. hee.. hee...
Nak karaoke together? Boleh!! Kita nyanyi lagu2 lama, nak? I like!! Or we can do a theme party! Yeay! (sekarang ni, macam dah syok pulak buat theme party ni... :) )
Wow.. you gals sure had some serious fun together. Didn't know she makes the best sambal belacan! All I know now is she likes asam, segala macam asam!
Will convey your message to her. Makcik tu tak pakai PC kat office/rumah, so dia tak tau mende blog blog ni...
Nak join? JOM!! You terror pilih lagu kan? Sure best punya!
Though I don't know you, kak teh or Puteri, I think if the karaoke nite really happened, we're sure gonna bring the house down! Can't wait!
Thanks! Selamat berpuasa to you and family!!
Wah.. you pun kaki karaoke, ya? Great! Nanti you boleh join we all karaoke juga, ok?
Selamat Berpuasa!
Thanks for planning the night for us. Without you, sure tak jadi punya. Now I know why IQ relies on you 100% for planning events... coz you enjoy doing it and you're very good at it! So, don't complain, ok?
I look forward to the Krabi picture book! Selamat berpuasa & berbuka!
Happy Birthday to Lin! Semuga sihat sejahtera dan diberkati selalu. Hope she'll stay strong, berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu memikul.
Salam
It was fun indeed. Actually, susah nak get all 6 of us together for karaoke. Usually, it's just me, Intan & Dada. This time around, every one made it a point to come. And that was nice.
Thanks for your well wishes. I'm sure Lin will appreciate it.
That must be a great night! Especially for the bahagian "veteran". Hee.. hee...
how come you are doing all this fun things all the time. nxt time ajk i dgn shila sekali, i'll just watch coz can barely sing negaraku properly.
yani
It just so happened that many fun things appeared in recent weeks. ulan ramadhan ni, senyap lah.
Sure, next time I'll ajak you all. Tapi mesti datang, tau?
Tgk gmbar u n frens, teringat my Red Box rendezvous jg. But since one of us passed away, I have stopped karaokeing. Looking at yr pics, the urge to sing the heart out comes back. I miss that get together..but scared we'd end up crying rather than singing bcos she's not there.
I think you all should take it easy first with this karaoke thingy. Let the passing settled first... If you go now pun, I don't think you'll enjoy yourself, kan? It may take sometime, but RB will always be there lah. So no worries.
Take care!
