Amin's 24th Birthday

My friend Zurin invited us to dinner at her house yesterday. And since it was Amin's birthday, I volunteered to help her with the cooking. We just planned to make the usual Malaysian dishes, nasi with some lauk: ayam masak kicap, gulai ikan, ikan goreng and sayur kacang panjang goreng.

I forgot to take close-up pictures of the food. Duhh tak bley nak jeleskan korang ;)



From left, another guest Intan with her sons, Afzal and Akmal; and Zurin. They all loved gulai ikan I cooked , sume org tambah dua tiga pinggan :)


Sara, Zurin's only daughter. She wore her cheongsam for CNY weekends.

I also secretly bought a birthday cake for Amin hehe. This year I only bought a small cake for him, considering that we would have a big meal that night. I actually thought that it might be a little bit awkward to celebrate the birthday at someone's house. And we only knew each other three/ four months ago. But it turned out to be a great gathering alhamdulillah. Everyone really enjoyed the food and each other's company. When we got home, Amin told me that he loved the celebration. So not a bad idea huh :D


Amin and I with the birthday cake. Again forgot to take a close-up picture of the cake because Amin was so excited to cut it hehehe
