dinner
had a buka puasa dinner today. yum yummmm!!
thank god my friend mentioned about it to me, coz if not i'd be downing coke and munching cookies instead.
we had nasi beriani, mihun goreng, lauk ayam masak pedas, daging masak kurma, kari apa ntah, kuih-muih nan pelbagai... wohooo!! ada ramai sungguh yang datang, sixty to seventy people at least. students je ada about 30plus, from wisconsin and urbana-champagne and northwestern and wherever else i didn't get to ask. tu masing2 tu, including yours truly, datang jamuan melenggang-kangkung bawak perut je la.
and i had a really good time, for a change. masa maghrib tu tak cukup space so some of the students and i went for the second prayer (kita jadi imam). pastu makan. then isyak and tarawikh. pastu makan. then naik berborak ngumpat2 saripah aini vs siti. hee! pastu, whatelse, makan.
it struck me how young the students looked, how youthful and vibrant and innocent. it made me realized how fleeting time has been, how a lot older i now am, how drained i am of life.
there were lots of single girls too, for a change, albeit students. people kept ribbing me to go and pick one for a bride, betapa siotnyer masing-masing. but the girls were cute, though. yet alas, i didn't curi2 main mata menekan ayat ngan diorang. i am wayyyy too old and too tired to play this i-like-you-do-you-like-me-too charade anymore.
next week ada jamuan lagi. yay!
