February Birthdays

Ram’s and the three Bintulu grandchildren’s birthdays fall in February. This January and February were months on the go for Ram and I, not out of choice but circumstances dictated so. We were everywhere else except at home. Luckily on Ram’s birthday we could be at home. Sita was also in PJ then and we took the opportunity to go out for dinner together with Tessa and of course with little Najla tagging along. Shaffik was in KL for a meeting but did not stay on. He went back to Bintulu the day before. We cannot force him to stay on for the dinner as he had to be back home since Haadieya’s birthday also falls on the same day as Ram’s.

Hifzhan and Haziq were overly excited on their birthdays. Their voices showed it when we contacted them on their birthdays. They got birthday cakes of their choice, Hifzhan a Tom and Jerry cake and Haziq a power rangers cake, on their respective birthdays and were proud to announce it. Haadieya, I think, was still too small to understand the significance but was excited all the same when she too got her birthday cake.

Dinner on Ram’s birthday was at a Japanese restaurant, Japanese cuisine being the family’s favourite. Japanese restaurants can be very expensive, especially those that are located in the city hotels, and the one we went to was no exception. But Ram had a good time that night and with little Najla providing continuous entertainment during dinner, the expense was nothing in comparison. It was well worth it. I think we were the last group of diners to leave the restaurant that night……
