Shahrul’s Birthday Lunch


Last Sunday we had lunch to celebrate Shahrul’s 28th Birthday at around 1 p.m.. We had it at Ole-Ole Bali, Solaris in Mont Kiara. Nearly everybody showed up. The birthday boy with Su the wifey (due to give birth any time), tall currently well-groomed Wafi, slimming-dieting Amru, ever-charming seemingly happy Bo, Never-tiring Soraya with 2 lovely princesses Yaya and Nana (zareefs current interest), all-unique appearance Faizal and Maz and our beloved family zara, zareef (Nana’s new bff), maz (lynn) and zul were all there.

The food was interesting but we expected more, pricey but yet stylish. Ambience was great with all the traditional Bali decor. The kids especially loved the gong by the entrance. We had trouble with the sitting though, seems like they weren’t really family friendly and can’t/willing to cater for big parties. We had fun even though the kids had their fair share of attention seeking (Nooooo - the most used word during the lunch). Shahrul tried his parenting skills as you can see in the above picture. Zareef seems jealous. ‘Zareef nak pegang tangan Qarina’ was his response when i asked him why he looked so grumpy. Yaya seems to enjoy Zareef’s company particularly when he ‘suap’ and ‘lap mulut’ Yaya. Zara was just too excited with all the stuff around (they had like 30 model giraffes, stuffed-like chickens, miniature colourful toys and so on)

Due to the lack of interest with the dessert choice, we went to Haargen-das (hope i spelled it right.. sounds european but we all know its from new jersey) after walking the whole solaris complex and finding out the dessert-bar was closed for renovations. Shahrul even complained that he had sore knees after the walk. Funny coming from a husband to a 9-month old pregnant wife. After ice cream, everybody bade good-bye with the typical kissing kids ceremony and so-called hommie handshake. Had a blast and definitely one for the books. So to the others that didn’t make it, hope this blog will make you jealous somehow.
