Aishah turns 27

My little sister Aishah turned 27 years old on June 6. Not so little anymore I guess. We were not able to celebrate it with her on her birthday because she had other plans of course. Well, what do you expect from a 27 year old.

I remember when she was born and growing up with her was really fun. I adored her as a little girl. She was really cute! And very nakal too!! Over the years we have remained friends and she is more than a sister to me. Not forgetting the fact that she is also a very reliable errand girl! She used to be a very good baby sitter too but with her busy work schedule, social life and what not, she doesn't have the time to do anymore.

She is also very good at doing groceries for me too. She did this for me every week, infact sometimes twice a week, when I was in confinement with Najihah and Nadiah. At that time she was still studying so she had all the extra time in the world.

Aishah is planning a move to Australia, a migration. The real deal, with a PR and all. I know she has to lead her own life but it would be oh so sad to see her go.

For her 27the birthday celebration, we had high tea the next day at my mom's place in Shah Alam. My mom cooked a lot of nice yummy food and I had tea and dinner as well.

This is nenek with her two grandsons, Ali and Khalif. They both didn't look very happy that they had to share her. Am so hoping they will be friends but looking at the dagger looks there were giving each other, am not so sure!

Amir and I bought her a chocolate mousse cake. Aishah and I celebrate our birthdays together every year as they are one week apart. It is our ritual to get a chocolate mousse cake fro Shangri-La in KL cause it is THE BEST. This year, we didn't do the usual but we had to get her a cake anyways so I tried the one from the Apartment at the Curve. Their mousse which is served in a cup is really delicious but the cake is not so good lah. Quite a disappointment> Even the two girls were waiting anxiously for that oh so sweet taste.

We were all standing around for the this picture. Not sure what we were waiting for ... but you can tell the girls were getting impatient.

I like this picture .... Another year wiser perhaps my little sister!

Mama cooked up a real storm. This dish is celery sticks stuffed with cream cheese and topped with walnuts. It was delicious!

We also has this beef pie. The crust was the best part. Infact, the two girls only wanted the crust ... hmmmmm!

This is another favourite dish of ours. Its called potato gratin (bottom left) This was the first to go. I think I could just eat this the entire day and be satiated.

Me and my little sister, Aishah. Happy Birthday my dear. Lots of love and hugs....
