I visited my aunt Ibu Jawahir's house yesterday for a majlis doa selamat. My cuz-in-law Abang Irwan (Beg Wan for short) is going on the Hajj Pilgrimage today, and so the majlis doa selamat was held in his honour semoga dia dapat menunaikan Haji yang mabrur. And so there was the big family gathering and makan.
Speaking of family gathering. My long-unseen cuzzens 'Ainul Rushdah, Ahmad Faiq, 'Ainul Ilmah and Ahmad Zariff are finally coming back to visit us from Brunei after what, four years?I really miss them. We in Singapore only get to meet them every few years. I missed watching Rushdah going through adolescence. Now dah macam kakak². Faiq is already 15. I wonder if his voice has broken. I swear he's a Ronald Weasley Doppelganger. Ilmah I've watched her since her whale-spout baby days grow to a blooming 14 year old. And I've totally missed Zariff's childhood.
And to coincide with anak² Bik Apis's arrival, the CuzzenHensemJambu Clan is organizing a chalet on the 16-18 Dec. Its been something like 2-3 years since our last chalet and this time round there's the added bonus of our cousins from Brunei joining us. And the games that they've planned after the majlis doa selamat sounds like major fun!
Well that's all fine and dandy, but why did I bring this up?
Because....
I WON'T BE ABLE TO JOIN THEM FOR THE CHALET!!! mgnmngmngmn.
and why won't I be joining them u ask? BECAUSE... the chalet is held on the 16-18 Dec... AND MY NEW BATCH OF RECRUITS ARE ENLISTING ON THE 15th!!!! mgnmgnmngmn. AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE I'VE BEEN POSTED TO QUEBEC! If I had stayed at Falcon, the recruits would have POP-ed on the 12th, and I'll be free to attend all 3 days of the chalet. HAIZ, mgnmgnmgn grumble grumble. And with enlistment, comes a 2-week confinement period. And and, my cousins are only gonna be in Singapore for 2 weeks!!! WTPH!
