Sampai je kat KLSentral, Danisy dan Kakak menyambut Mak Lijah dengan senyuman sampai ke telinga while Abang maintained cool berbaju kemeja lengan panjang. Buang tebiat ke apa anak-anak Mak Lijah ni. While I can guess the two younger ones were dying to keep the secret of where my birthday dinner was going to be, I just could not guess why Abang was "over dressed". And so we cruised along Jalan Duta and got onto the highway as I was guessing really hard where we were going. The kids were just too excited of my coming home they just could not stop "reporting", not knowing that their Mama was in real great pain. Well, they don't need to know.

Alas, when Pak Lijah turned into Hartamas from the highway and drove straight ahead, I kinda got the feeling that we were heading to the "station". Kakak and Danisy, as usual would order food that is "made of chicken" while Abang tried a new menu, Pak Lijah and his fish and I asked for the lamb. After having our meal, one of the waiter came and asked Pak Lijah...

"Abang, nak letak berapa candle?"

...and my head just turned 180 degrees at a rate of 60 miles per hour to look at Pak Lijah who looked so stunned and annoyed obviously.

No..No candles, no singing...Just bring in the cake q*u*i*e*t*l*y, please..

I so do not need to have this (anymore).


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Yep.. they just had to do it coz they were paid to sing.
Yep.. and the other table who also celebrated birthday, clapped along..
Yep.. I blew the (ONE-WHAT-IS-THAT-SUPPOSED-TO-MEAN) candle to the clappings of Danisy and Kakak..

Ah well... they enjoyed it. The cake was brilliantly super duper delicious.. What more can I ask for having to really celebrate my birthday with my family after all...

We reached home at nearly 11.00 pm and again, Kakak and Danisy were smiling sampai ke telinga because they were just so excited about the present they bought for me.. Adoi lah.. kelakar sungguh anak-anak Mak Lijah ni. They even have several cards for me. How sweet of them. Nothing could replace that special moment with them.

Aaahh...HOME SWEET HOME on my birthday, finally..
