chillin'Now Playing: Delirious - My Glorious
Today was the one of the nicest Good Fridays I have ever had. Usually back home in Malaysia all Good Friday was, would be dark and gloomy day where we would remember what Jesus did for all of us.
However we should not feel sad on this day as if somebody dear to us had died but more of somebody who had saved the world.
Yeah anyways enough about that, my point was nothing usually happens on Good Friday for me but today my friends Attila & Pam and their family invited us over for sort of like a get together in conjunction with Mandy's (Pam's sister) birthday which was a few days ago. Attila called me like something around 1pm in the afternoon while I was still trying to get some sleep but I thought, oh well why not go out for a change.
When Shawn and I arrived there, we saw many other people already there and settle in, enjoying the food and chatting with each other. Okay now to the interesting part. The food.
I started off having Afghany bread with 4 different type of dips which was made by Mandy. She's a chef and she is a uber one at it too. Sometimes she brings us some of her cooking which is a real blessing! Then later I ate some nasi briyani like thingy which taste good as well, probably made by Pam and Mandy's mom. After that I ate some hotdogs and chicken wings from the barbecue grill. I regretted not eating them corns =( and then proceeded to eating some indian vegetable mixed salad thingy and also some spiral pasta thing. I was stuffed after that.
After that I hung around chatting with some of Mandy's friends, they were all very nice and friendly people.
Not a long while after, we had a birthday cake which was absolutely delicious! It was Tiramisu Baci Cake which contained tiramisu (obviously) with like coffee flavored ice cream. It was so good that I had to go for second serving. I wanted to go for a third but just could not take it anymore, I felt too rich or saturated. I am really getting old, I cannot take too much of anything anymore which is good in some ways that it restricts me from overeating which leads to a controlled diet =p
Attila & Pam's house and compound is huge!
The first time I went there I already thought that their house was very big but only today I saw the backyard and it could easily fit 3 more of their typed houses. However the reason why they could not build anything at the back portion of their yard is because it was a place where the septic system leads out from their house, into the ground to sort of like fertilize the land. This was the first time I had heard of such system which is quite impressive.
I was so full from the afternoon that I did not even have dinner but only a light supper. It was a really a nice day.
