Nottingham ~ Farewell Party ~ Barbecue

(L - R) Uncle Wa, Auntie Wa, Auntie Datin and Uncle Datuk

On Saturday, we attended a farewell party at Aunty Wa's house in Nottingham. The party was for Aunty Datin and Uncle Datuk. They are going back to Malaysia for good in May. Aunty and Uncle Wa are like our second parents. Aunty Datin and Uncle Datuk are like our third. We've had many great times together, especially during Ramadhan.

Makan time


The Yummy Barbecue

Sarah and her Babah were outside in the garden most of the time. Babah was helping with the barbecue. While Sarah played with the bubble gun and sometimes enjoying the nature. She saw another favourite creature of hers in the garden: Ladybird.

Flowers in Aunty Wa's Garden


Sarah has also become attached to Baby Safya. She enjoyed giving Baby Safya her monstrous 'peek-a-boo's. And has always managed to make Baby Safya laugh, which later made us all laugh too. Uncle De caught one of these moments in camera. May be I could get a copy of it and post it here.

Sarah loved to give Baby Safya cpr-like kiss too. Poor baby, she has to put up with this too.


Enjoying the 'buih sabun' with Uncle De

Amar... he behaved extremely well. He sat on my laps most of the time. He was shy!!! He bowed so low like a Japanese-doing an- arigato-gozaimas whenever people talked to him. Sometimes, he curled his body like a ball. Auntie De loved to tease him, and made him bow again.


Any resemblance?


Just before we left, Amar had a chance to walk freely on his own. He decided to open all the cabinets in the kitchen like he always does at home. He was just checking Aunty Wa's Wedgwood Collection but decided not to mess with it.

We came home with two tired kids. They behaved very well in the car and slept most of the journey home.

Hmm teringat masa ex-housemate dekat Cambridge yang suka buat barbeque. She had similar flowers in her garden too. I guess spring is finally here (inshaAllah)?

Must have been a great farewell I daresay.

KKL: Everyone seems to have nice garden. Ours is just concrete pavement. BUt low maintenace. So ok juga.

DITH: Yup. A great one, but v sad at the same time.

Hehehe I never had a garden here. No just have potted plants scattered about the house. Low maintenance nyer pokok of course! I am afraid the daun kesum you gave me died a frizzled death due to proximity to the heater (my bad!) I saw a 5-foot version of that pokok at someone's house. It almost gave me nightmares, nampak macam pokok hantu. Not sure why though.

My pokok kesum pun dah selamat dikebumikan. Mati setelah ditinggalkan beberapa minggu tanpa disiram masa kita balik msia. kesian sgt. i sayang sungguh pokok kesum i tu.

bnyk i bagi2 kat kawan2. ramai yg kata mati jugak.

my inlaws nak dtg soon, i nak kirim 2-3 pokok. nak tanam lagi. hmmmm, unless kita decide nak balik msia for good. sob*sob*

pok ki; lamb tu sedap sangat. penuh perisa. manis masin cukup. nyaman.
tambah lagi lamb UK ni. tak de pulak rasa hanyir.
