The Melting Pot...

“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself...” - Virginia Woolf

We were on our way to a Makcik Bloggers hi-tea at the Melting Pot, Concord Hotel when I asked Sara:

‘Pasal apa dorang panggil Melting Pot agak nye ye?’
‘That’s a meeting place for people of different cultures, races and religions…’
‘Ooh… I imagine something else… he he’


The theme was pink and all the makcik bloggers (sorry for the younger ones to be called makcik too) came with something pinky, what a beautiful color…

(The spread of good food... Tapi meja macam berat sebelah)
(Sara, Nong, Kak Elle, Ummi, Ezza, Maklang, Mas & Dody)
(Special pose before goodbyes...)
(The door gifts)

The food was delicious, and the company was great. Another reason to smile. Thanks for the beautiful gifts too…

    SmileyMorning,
    W'salam. Pawang Sidon tu my great grand father on my father's side. My grandma was Zainab binti Sidon. She was married to Abdul Ghani. My father is one of their sons. I am not sure whether he was from Muar but my father is a Johorian too. I have a lot of relatives in Muar.

    So i am cicit Pawang Sidon. Any blood relation there? he he...

    Madam,
    He he... Kalau you are in KL, just jump in. They are gathering again this Saturday @ the Curve. Mesti havoc!

    Wah! You pun kenal Pawang Sidon tu ye. Possible the same one ke? I don't have the opportunity to meet this famous man. Even my grandpa died when i was very young...
