Advanced Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Yup, you read the title of this blog. We had our advance wedding anniversary celebration last Fri. As usual, the BIG day was always on Good Friday sebab kalau nak ikutkan the exact date, 18th April, memang falls on a weekday which is quite impossible to celebrate since both me & Irfan will be working. Nak romantic dinner pun nanti dah penat from work.

This year it's my turn to plan. As agreed, we'll take turns to plan the celebration. Initially when I mentioned to hubby maybe we'll just spend the weekend at Puteri Pan Pacific, he's not in a favour. Dekat sangat kata dia. So, at last he decided (after hearing so much from his buddies) to go Sofitel Palm Resort at Senai. I knew the place coz my Exco team had their retreat in 2003 there but I was already 8 mths pregnant that time, so it's my first time for me too.

Ok, so I did the booking & preparing our luggages. Dah excited nak pergi...my throat pulak buat hal! Read my last blog? Well, the cough got worst, the pain in the throat was excruciating...at last on Wed morning, I lost my voice. Yes, literally lost it! It got me quite scared coz I've never experienced it before. Went to Adidah's clinic & she said I strained my voice too much. What? I didn't even do any shouting or screaming at all. I was teaching like normal the day before...or maybe I did try to clear my throat each time I was losing it, so I guess that made it worst. She told me not to talk & rest my voice. How can I? Those who know me mesti kenal how's the real me...talkative as ever. I can't stay quiet for a long time, at most 15 minutes maybe.

So, communication was down to 'zero'. I can't even call my son's name. It was horrible, I felt so handicapped. And the cough made it so much worse! It was endless & couldn't stop if I start coughing. Geram dibuatnya! On that Wed, just slept & rest at Ibu's place after taking the flu & cough medicine. On Thur I stayed at Pasir Ris, kemas rumah, pack our luggages & then gi rumah Ayah sebelah petang. Irfan took 1/2 day leave that day coz he had to settle some computer stuff before we went for our short trip.

Wanna read some more? Ok, so on that Thur night we slept over rumah Ibu so that we can convoy with Ayah next morning. Terpaksa kejutkan Fikri pagi-pagi lepas Subuh. We went out at 6.20am and got in JB almost 8am. Lepas sarapan pagi wif Cikgu Sutrisno, Cik Zai & my in-laws, we head our separate ways. Journey to Sofitel was quite ok. In fact quite wasy as we followed Senai all the way & then head towards Palm Resort. It took only ard 30 mins to reach there, so we were very very early. Almost 2 hr to kill time before we can check in the hotel.

Masuk bilik aje, dua-dua anak beranak bobok! Penat sangat agaknya. We went down for lunch only at ard 3+pm. Makan kat restaurant situ je, mahal lah tapi belum tahu nak cari jalan. After that we went round hotel, venture & cari the Recreation building. It was good as there was a bowling alley, squash court, pool table & even rooms for kids. Apa lagi, kesukaan Fikri asyik naik slides je.

That night we went out towards the town area to have dinner at the 101 Mall & gi pasar malam. We're always lucky coz mana-mana kita pergi holiday, mesti ada pasar malam. Didn't buy anything much except window shopping je. So, next 2 days was just simply relaxing by the pool & go down the mall again.

By the 3rd day, we head towards the mall to get some oleh-oleh balik. I bought for Ibu & Ibu J kain from Kandar for them to wear during Hajj. I git myself sepasang baju turquoise green & a pink blouse. Tak banyak belanja except on food & some home stuff, biasalah beli susu, diapers, stationery & other stuff.

Journey home was also a breeze as we went back straight after checking out. Went through Tanjung Puteri, so there wasn't any jam at all! In fact, kita sempat rush balik rumah after car wash & gi jemputan kat rumah Kak Lina & Cik Sapura's niece. It was already raining heavily by that evening. Ibu, Abah & Ali came at night to have dinner. Oh yes, Pak Busu's family also. Nasib baiklah diorang balik awal coz the 3 of us pun dah tak tahan. As soon as my parents went home, tiga-tiga lepak kat living room...snoring!!! hehehehhe ;)

Now, that was our advanced wedding anniversary celebration. Interesting????
