Sunway Family Day

Every year Sunway has this huge Family Day celebration in Sunway Lagoon. For who ever that works with Sunway gets a free entry for each of their immediate family member. So like last year my dad got five tickets again but this time instead of tickets, they gave us watches. It was so cool...going into Sunway using your watch at the security sensor..TEET....and you are in!!! WAY COOL!!!

Tha sad thing was, this time my dad and brother was working. My dad got a few more tickets so my aunt,uncle, 2 sons and Jey joined us. So in the morning they started off with some performances and family competitions. Last year I remember I had to go up stage and dance the Ketcup song wearing a Whopi Golberg mask with an unknown stranger wearing a Bill Gates Mask. It was hilarious... When it comes to dancing of course my team won!!!

This year was not much of a kick as my dad and brother was not there. Brother had to fly of to Kuching for work and dad was busy controlling the crowd outside.



My favourite RIDE!!!

Anyway we did manage to keep ourself busy. Riding all the rides, eating and jumping in the water. All of us got goody bags of food that could last us the whole day. That is not all, there were times when the Milo booth was open free for the watch bearers...koko cruch...ice cream...pizza...kfc...dunkin donuts...PHEW!!!



This was a challenge!!! Many years ago me and my sister went on this ride, it made us scream like crazy. We were in tears and felt as though we were going to die because we sat right at the corner where you could see yourself facing the ground as it goes down....This time we sat again at the corner....DIE DIE DIE!!!

Why were we so smart?!!! It seriously gave us a flashback. Of course we did not dry. The guys behind us, even though they didn't have a good view, they were screaming SEI LA! SEI LA! Imagine if they were sitting at our places....they would have pissed in their pants. Oh ya, who ever want to plan to do this...please go to the toilet first. Seriously!!! You don't want to embarrass yourself.

I was dizzy for a few hours after THAT RIDE!!!

Sadly me and Jey had to leave early....we had another 2 event to attend...a wedding and a raya open house.

What a tiring day!!!

Amreek's Surprise Birthday

This was an interesting experience for some of us, as we actually tried cooking something ourselves in sabha house! Well, Manwant's plan was having a surprise birthday party for Amreek at 5pm at sabha house, but plans were changed by time.

What to do!!! Amreek is such a busy person and I don't think Manwant could keep any secrets from her charming husband. They also had a wedding dinner to attend on the same day. After all the brain storming, we finally decided to go to his house and surprise him.

As the initial plan was for pot luck, everyone suppose to chip in and bring something. So we decided why not do something different. Make sandwiches, not any simple sandwich, it was Sukhsharan's mom's special taufu sandwiches. YUM YUM!!!

We first met up at Lotus, everyone was surprised as I had not bought any ingredients yet. I then called Sukhsharan's mom to get the recipe. After that we estimated how much we need to buy and went off shopping. We also bought snacks and stuff to make a&w's float. In half an hour, everyone was back at sabha house.

Let's start COOKING!!!!!

Actually my plan was just to follow the recipe, but the rest had other ideas on how much ingredients should be in. So, light arguments started....No! 5 onions is enough! No! Recipe says 8! No! Not to many chilies! No! Too little garlic...

Well head's off to the chefs....Jasmin and Neremal...they cook like experts!!!
From the smell they can know what is missing...WOW!!!

The taufu sambal went through a lot of plastic surgery before it turned into a delicious dish. Other than the chefs, the rest of us just gave up and sat aside.

Picture of the cooking process will be coming soon...

After making the sambal, everyone was so hungry and tired, so we took a break, had our dinner and back to work....making the sandwiches. By this time everyone else gathered at sabha house already. So with everything packed, we made a move together 'the journey to Amreek's house'. All happily singing through the journey.

It was about 10:30pm and we were about 5 kilometers from Ampang gurdwara. We didn't remember the inner roads to Amreek's house so we plan to meet Baljit at the gurdwara. From there, he will guide us to Amreek's house. We were all confused on how to make it a surprise. Will Amreek be at the house or is he still at the dinner?

Well, I had to call Manwant to find out where they were. So we thought we could reach his house first before him to surprise him. BUT!!?!?!?!!

ALAMAK!!! They were just a kilometer behind us.....AYO YO VERY VERY dangerous....
And where was BALJIT??? Between us and Amreek! GOSH! LAGI TERUK!!!

So thanks to the fast thinking, we detoured to a different route and waited behind a few shop lots for them to go by first. Baljit also joined us because he had to guide us.

GOSH! What a narrow escape! This was really very very close! To be safe, we waited till Amreek was nearby his house.

Then we continued our journey following Baljit. We parked a distance away and walked closer and closer....Then we were right at the front door...it was wide open. Manwant was keeping Amreek busy and we ALL slowly slipped into the living room. The room was half full! I had to use my hand to stop myself from laughing out loud!

When he walked into it we all screamed ... SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!....YAhoo.....He sure was surprised!!!!!

We were glad all the tension was all over......PHEW!

So then after serving the floats to everyone,we started chit chatting while enjoying the snacks and sandwiches.....



OK, tension over, relax....



Cheers Amreek!!!



Sharan and Jey in darlie contest.



Havoc, everyone was so happy!



Amreek, still wondering how everyone got there?



Manpreets!
We were planning to leave at 12AM. Well as you can see in the picture, the time was nearly 12AM...but the party just started!



Our chef really did a good job. So let her rest. Hey Jasmin, next wanna try cooking what???? =)



Finally no more birthday songs for Jagjit.



The sunflower between the 2 roses.



Jagjit's nuts was available to everyone!



What a cute/naughty pose?.....What happened to the nuts?



Love Love Love...can you see the love in the picture!



I can see sandwiches in their plate...COOL



More guys...behind them our music machine. =P



Oh me and Bal K. Gosh I wore that punjabi suit the whole day!



Jagjit, we know you are tall!



OK, I don't know what are they looking at???



Charlie's Angels! Sharan, Me and Manpreet.



And he comes the cake...Amreek is holding the knife as though it was a magic wand.
He is excited and waves it in the air according to the birthday song.



Happy Birthday to me......



Not to forget, in orange, Amreek's sister who cooked the cake.
The cake was home made, one of a kind and delicious.



It was 12:30AM +++ already and let's go home.....

Another successful surprise indeed.

Family Dinner Out

After a tiring day of Jag-Updesh's program and Jagjit's surprise birthday party, we all ended up in sabha house. Well got Sunday Program WHAT!!! BUT!!! When I reached there, I was shocked to see very little of the gang around. Haiya, where la everyone....where else...PING PONG!!! So I also decided to join them instend of the kirtan which was going on. Very very bad. I am not proud of myself. =(

Me my siblings including Jey, did not stay long there. We got a call from my parents which had the whole day dating together. Dad wanted to take mom for dinner but for mom dinner is not complete without the kids.. AWWWWW...

So we decided to all meet up at Chilies, Bangsar Shopping Complex. Dinner was overloading..after all the lovely food we ate at Jagjit's birthday bash, we hardly could eat!!!



OK here my dad and mom are not about to have a knife fight. They were about to start eating when I shouted SMILE!



Neremal, Jey is spicy enough, no need to add more pepper.
Gosh, I really look very very tired!



Aha! This is much better. My dear brother!



DAD, thinking of what to comment!



Another picture of mom and dad.



Well the food was good.
I think that was my 3rd glass or different variety of fruit juices.
I was very full but very thirsty.

My bro has some more lovely pictures of the night that I will post later.

Jagjit's Surprise Birthday

Hey, the birthday songs for Jagjit are not over yet!
After all the planning that Teno had been doing for weeks wasn't for nothing....

Flashback!!!

At Sungai Besi gurdwara, after makan makan and chit chat session...Everyone had a worry look on their face. Jagjit was still with us and asking us "Where are we going next???" Well, as per Teno's plans, we all meet up at her place and surprise Jagjit, but we couldn't take Jagjit along with us!

We didn't know what to tell him! So everyone started saying let's go home la. Tired la. Poor Jagjit, he was planning to hang around with us longer but looks like everyone seems to be tired and plan to go home. He had no clue at all of Teno's plans.

Then he found out that Amreek and a few of the rest were going to Assuntha Hospital to donate blood. He also joined them. Phew! What a relief but another problem arised!
How was the rest who were going to the hospital going to adjourn off to his place without him knowing.

So all were a bit confused on what were we surposed to do and where we were surposed to go. With jagjit around we had to catch every little glipse of whisphering chance to plan it out. So there it was, plan made! Those not donating blood meet at sabha house, hang out there till further notice.

As we were leaving, I was terrified as Jagjit was just driving behind my car. We hoped, he didn't realize the route we were taking - which was to sabha house or don't he follow us all the way! Every turn I took, I would look behind to see if he is still there...Finally our paths parted and I was much more relaxed.

At sabha house, we were hanging out for quite a long long time....Of course what would we be doing there..PING PONG!!!

Again and again the phone will ring notifying about Jagjit's. The blood donation line very long! His turn next! He is on the BED already! HA HA! Jagjit still did not get a hint even though the rest told him to go ahead in the line before the rest.
Unfortunately I was not there to catch a glimpse of the situation there.

Once Jagjit was on the bed donating blood, we stated leaving to the planned meeting venue...JAGJIT's HOUSE!!!



So the waiting starts...TIC TOC TIC TOC....



Where's Jagjit!!! He is such a nice person, of course he will wait for the others once he has done donating. Why didn't we think of that!!!



While waiting, why not take more picture. I think at this point of time Ajit is really tired!



These three was extremely into the conversation. Satpal was going on and on about something! Thasy could not take his ears off but Ajeet managed to get his head turned for the picture.



Here Jivan was holding Ajit hand because he was trying to disturb the picture of her with Jey. Well I taught, might as well put him in the picture then.

Where is Jagjit? Everyone was getting impatient. There were still a few more to go in the line to donate blood. Without waiting any longer Teno taught up of a brilliant idea to get Jagjit back home as soon as possible. She asked her father to call him and demand him to get back ASAP. I think the reason was "I need you to go to the bank" Well mana la ada bank open on Sunday, but Jagjit didn't think of it at that time. Jagjit's mom was saying that Jagjit knows that there were some relative coming over, so he might have suspected a small family surprise birthday party.
But who knows what was in him mind?



THE MOMENT WE WERE WAITING.....SURPRISE!!!
And we started singing Happy Birthday again.
Jagjit just stood still trying to figure out what was hapenning.
He was in shock and speechless!
Ram had to stand right at that particular time when I was taking this shot ... luckily Jagjit's face was not blocked.



Jagjit, Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuu....!



Ok, a silent moment there, giving Jagjit to process the shock. He must be wondering...."Is this my house?...If it is what are all these people doing here?....Hmm....And they said they were tired and wanted to go home?....AND DAD WHICH BANK TO GO?"

He really looked LOST!



Since the waiting is over, finally charge on the food!!!



Opps, interuption in between the birthday...Introducing LOKI....
A DOG or GOD OF MISCHIEFS????
Should have seen what he did to his buddy male dog when he was set loose.



Ok, sorry about that, back to the birthday! Oh here we have the birthday boy....WITH A BIG SMILE...looking at his cake approaching!



What a lovely cake!



And for the final time this YEAR....we sang him his birthday song!



AHA, we did not forget banana. Teno had it all prepared - bananas and also another cake - "BANANA CAKE".



Here we have Teno busy cutting the cake for us!



I think all could not wait for the cake to come to them, so all went to Teno! Ha Ha Ha !



Last but the best, the main sole organizer of this event..TENO. I know I know we finished all the cake already!

Jag-Updesh's Programme

Nearly everyone who went to the Sewadar Camp knew about Jag's program. SMSes and emails were flying days before to remind everyone about it. We all were planning to attend it but I am sure those who were not there had valid reasons for not coming. So here's a glimpse of what you missed...

There was also a hidden agenda behind it all......Jagjit's birthday!!!!!
No la, for him Teno had other plans! We celebrated Taran's birthday!

Surprise....!?!?!

I think she didn't know anything about it....but hmmm...maybe not looking at all the hu ha we had....I think she had smoe idea what was coming up. Right after Jag's program which went very well, we all started lepaking... Taran keep all asking us, let's eat la, we were like, wait la! lepak la!...then we found a reason....NEREMAL

Neremal, Neremal, instead of coming to Sungai Besi Shappa he went to Kuyoh Gurdwara.
What a joker, my brother? Anyway we used him as an excuse to delay the eating?



So here's a picture of some of us lepaking! But wait a minutes where are all these people looking at ?!?



AHA! These three really got everyone's attention. I wonder why???
Jagjit if full of smiles as he had a fantastic birthday yesterday and felt that it was time to get someone else...



THE GALS...I love this picture....look like very good girls la!



Surprise!!!!! Taran all blushing and carrying the knife to slaughter the lovely cake.
Ok, we lied about waiting for Neremal, can't wait for him any longer...



Aik!!! Jagjit again!!! Aduh!!! But this time no banana for him, just a joint bithday song and cake cutting with Taran...



Then comes the feeding part....yum yum cake...when is it gonna reach my mouth.
You can see Esha feeding Taran but look at Deepa and my eyes....CAKE!!! HUNGRY!!!


Of course Jagjit get's his share too....and what an honour, Jag fed him with love.
Now Bal K is already drooling for a byte...



Well it was because of Jag's programme we all got together in Sungai Besi Shappa. So we decided we need a speech from him, and here it goes..."Ahem, thank you everyone, for coming........" It was a very good speech that Taran could not hold her tears back....



Here the rest of the gang watching and taking pictures. Even though Ajeet was right at the back, he was determined to have a good view of everything that was going on.



Hey, I didn't don't remember Ram giving a speech...Hmmm..
I must be really really into getting the cake now...



And then the champion arrives...very early I would say!
HA HA, we made him give a speech too...



Wah wah kya bat hai....posing terror!



Well how can we be left behind in posing. Security penji Amit, with a knife!!! Very very dangerous! I think that's why Esha nearly jumped on me.



Wow...the whole group picture!!! Cake also finish =(



Then finally, we left to take our lunch. Well everyone was so hungry, no one had time to take a photograph or us eating. Only when perut sudah kenyang, photo shots started again...



Neremal enjoying the punjabi patta menja!



And here the last picture.....what a pose!
