Just came back from breaking the fast (berbuka puasa) party in Dungun, Terengganu. The town is situated about 40 km (30 mins drive) from Kerteh, where we are staying. There were about 8 of us, Mizan from the workplace hosted the 'majlis buka puasa'. He's married to Marina, and are blessed with one son, Ibadurrahman. There were 2 other young couples as well, Shaiful & Azian, and Hasanin with Nor Rahmah.
Shaiful and Azian got married at the end of last year and are expecting their first child, which I overheard is going to be a girl. Never can be sure, you know, the doctor said that my son was supposed to be a daughter, when he's about 6 months inside his mother's womb. As for Hasanin & Nor Rahmah, they are among the 'advanced' ones, already with 2 sons, Anwar and Rushdan.
As you can imagine, the kids (all boys) created quite a ruckus during the party even though they're not all the same age. Anwar and Ibad were practically bringing out all the toys and playing among themselves. There's the standard toy car and toy machine gun to be pointed in all direction. Haziq basically just lay down or had to be carried at times because he hasn't been in a good mood today. Maybe it was the hot weather or his nose is blocked. We had to drive around Kerteh in the afternoon in order for him to be calm and go to sleep.
It's quite good to have that sort of gathering once in a while. You can see the men talking about 'manly' stuff like cars and politics, while the mothers will exchange stories or tips on motherhood. The kids, being kids, will just play and play, I suppose.
It's raining cats and dogs out there, we're just smacked right in the monsoon season here. Later then....
