Yesterday some of my TKC batch-mates met up for - mini-reunion since Pat is back from Perth, celebrate the late bloomer's 50th birthday i.e. AnaM, celebrate other January babes...well, do we really need a reason to meet?
It was at the Hotel Majestic, opposite the former railway station. Sigh, love the building. Both, the railway station and the Majestic. Both so majestic and grand.
To add grandeur to the event, being held at the Majestic means we must all be 'majesties'. Well, for that short moment in time. Hence, the 3 fisters who worked hard to arrange the whole shinnanigans presented each and all 14 of us with crowns! Gasp...owh-my-gucci...teary eyed... which we must all wear throughout the hi-tea. Oh, we had our do at their famous Tea Room.
We know us better, we have all lived together - eat, sleep, studied, took part in sports, fought in good spirit, sneaked around late nights etc., for all of 5 growing-up years of our lives and for some, more. We know when we are among us, we just care that WE are there. The married us made sure our spouses give us the space to be 'us' us when we are together. And we are so fortunate our spouses do give us that, Alhamdulillah.
So anyway, since I am also one of those 'celebrated' being a January babe and all, besides the tiara which my family insisted I wear again on my actual birthdate, and the little note book for us to pen our own stories in, I got a birthday present from darlings Tun and Laila!
This morning I opened the paper bag containing the present...and I tell you, I am living proof of the saying that I used to start this entry with!
Green is my favorite color, I was in green house all my school years primary & secondary; my family has since 2 weeks ago re-started fruit juicing and the fruits we juiced daily are carrot & oranges; and the day before yesterday I wrote on the last page of my 2nd little recipe note-book!
Would you believe that...to get what I needed at the time when I need them! Alhamdulillah...for roomies and beddies!
