if you see my earlier post, you'd prolly notice the one on my gf's birthday which was on wednesday last week. so, as usual the geng tioman would plan a get together and a bit of surprise had to be thrown in too. after some discussion, we thought we'd surprise Faiz on thursday nite but it turned out the surprise was on us coz she had some sports stuff she had to attend too!
so, we eventually came up with plan B, which isnt a surprise and was thrown at Faiz's place on sunday. as usual, potluck definitely means lotsa food even for 8 pax. to begin with, faized cooked 2kg of meat and she made beef curry with potatoes, imagine the size of the pot she had to use. and because she taught it wouldn't be colourful without vege, she made mixed vege with carrot, cabbage and corn but unfortunately, half of her guests are "allergic" to it coz like kai said, takut jadi pandai. faiz also fried some fish cracker and crispy salted fish, not forgetting some sambal belacan to compliment her dish. sounds like a complete wholesome meal rite? noooo....there's more.
before my bf and i left for putrajaya, we stopped by at taman melawati to get some roast chicken. but when we got there, a whole chicken seemed too small for 8 person to feast on so we got 2 whole chicken instead, yelar takut x cukup kan. we bought 2 variants; black pepper and golden roast and a bottle of chili to go with. then off we went to my gf's place.
our lunch date was between 12-1230 however due to heavy downpour, we were all a lil behind schedule. we were the first to arrive, followed by asrul, then nas & husband (first time guna tis term) and last but not least, ana and adie. nas arrived with 2 whole fruit; a melon and a papaya, and 3 bottles of soda. then ana arrived with two double decker pizza with onion ring and garlic twisty bread. should i change the post title to "the gluttons" now?
it was almost 2pm when we started digging into our foods. here are some of the pix i shot while waiting for the rest to arrive.

sorry nas and ana, gambar dessert and pizza dh x teringat nak ambik sebab dh lapar. makan punya makan punya makan, dekat seperiuk jgk nasik habis, pizza mmg licin, keropok ikan pun licin and not to mention the chicken too, kari daging walaupun sume org makan sungguh2, atas dapur ada setengah periuk lagi. tu sume rezeki, Alhamdulillah everyone managed to fill their tummy to the brim, i suppose. despite being full, we still went on eating the fresh cut fruits and had some warm strawberry tea.
so, when we were done cleaning and clearing up, it was time to exchange.....wedding invitations!
faiz & asrul's in silver, ana & adie's in purple
both their cards respectively
since the reception on the women's side falls on the same 29th of may, it'd be a tough decision for me to make but to be fair, i'll probably attend ana's and asrul's because i cant afford to miss your weddings.
once all of us got our invitations, it was time for the birthday gifts. first up is the cute pink couple tee for faiz & asrul courtesy of adie & ana, then it was the controversial sexy-sheer gift from nas & kai for faiz to wear and for asrul's eyes to feast on and lastly it was the pink agate crystal bracelet from me and bf, which some people believe can strengthen love.
faiz, i hope u had fun with us over lunch then over karaoke. wishing u many happy returns, still. take care, be good and you're 26!!!
my lil gift to her
