Opah Beraya at Restoran Beedara...

“Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you’re just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric.” – Pam Brown

There isn't anything that can prepare you for the way your life changes when you first become a grandma.

This year's Eidil-fitri celebration, muslimah At-Taiyyibin were invited to the Hari Raya gathering held at Restoran Beedara. As the theme was 'Opah Beraya', muslimah adorned their best opah's attire. There were presents for the best dressed opahs!

Food was aplenty. Main dishes were prepared by the restaurant, the rest were potlucks from the self-proclaimed MasterChefs. All were delicious and tasty. We had so much fun watching the younger ones in their opah's dresses. It’s funny to be a grandmother before your time to be one. You start to act all eccentric and do things you never thought you’d do.

We had an enjoyable time, all fun and no stress!

A gathering of the veteran Veterinarians

"If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans..." -James Herriot

(A small gathering for the veteran Veterinarians)

Believe it or not, I was once a qualified veterinarian.

Today we attended a Hari Raya open house at Dr. Natrah's house in Shah Alam. Dr. Natrah is a Veterinary Surgeon and the founder/CEO of I-Vetworks Sdn Bhd. Her father, Dr. Abd Razak and I were classmates in ITM during our 74/78 Animal Health and Production, School of Applied Science. 

We met some old friends of DAHP, most were practicing veterinarians till they retired. Some like me, continued our studies and chose different career paths. Whatever careers or positions we had, we are still close buddies and remain connected.

Today we had brunch at Restoran Che Wan, with hubby's La Salle Brickfields' schoolmates from the early 70's. Lately they have been meeting quite regularly to touch base.

Chef Wan's offers a diverse selections of main dishes of International and Asian influences with house-made French pastries and bakery delights. These are authentic international fare inspired by Chef Wan’s personal travels around the world. Besides, there is an array of Malaysian traditional mouth-watering desserts too.

Years passed us by swiftly, and we will always be friends until we’re old and senile...
