i didn’t realise that september will be such a socialitas month for me.

5-8 Sept
KL trip with colleagues

9 Sept
Armoured Petals as special guests at PV. not yet fully rested from the KL trip but somehow i was energised by the thought of them finally coming down. i actually cooked lunch, although may not be the most sumptuous spread, but it felt nice to cook for guests. perhaps more practice will turn me into a domestic goddess, haha.
never had a passion for cooking but can start some time.

(having your own kitchen, kind of bring the womanly instinct to cook in me)

11 Sept
and yes, just two days after that, i receive the Babes for dinner. what is more special, to me, is the presence of one friend though. Amallia. whom i have not met for, maybe, 10 years? i am so so glad that she finally wants to join us.

(i am lucky this year, that two schoolmates i have missed so much and i remember perfectly i tweeted about them that i hoped to meet them one day, and what do i know, i am finally reunited with them.)

12 Sept
a teachers’ day gathering at the function room. a small meaningful lunch with the grace of both the chairman and vice chairman. already slept so late because the dinner with the Babes was till about 11pm coz we were also excited about the general elections going on. by the time i cleaned up it was about 1am.
woke up for Subuh and stayed all the way coz i still had some more gifts to wrap. and setting up the function room. i am forever grateful that husband was always willing to help me.

by Sunday, i just want to coop up and spend some quiet time with my husband.

well. it takes a lot for an introvert like me to really be all out to receive guests and serve. a lot. nevertheless, i have to say i pretty enjoyed it and i like having people around. it really is a housewarming. just need a bit more practice in entertaining people.
dread the cleaning up though, but it still brings satisfaction to know that this is my home and i am doing all this in the comfort of my own home.
