Happy Mother's Day

with some iranian friends

 At Shisha, Solaris Mount Kiara (full house mlm ni..I forgot to buat reservation) Look at that lauk pengantin!



Iranian Mom's Day Buffet at MATIC (home cooked by women from the Iranian Embassy)

To all moms out there: go spoil yourselves!!

I just did.

Had a fantastic time celebrating it at MATIC with the Iranian Embassy (women's wing). I enjoyed the fashion show and the tribute for Mdm Elahi of Tas Putra.What an incredible woman she is.

A few things I learnt from the event: Iranian women are so well educated (per centage is neck to neck when it comes to ratio of women to men at the university.Women have regular careers, they are also in sports.Whatever they do, they wear headcovers.The ones in sports seem to be doing well despite this.I was deeply impressed.They are also in broadcasting/media, arts and performance).

But I also found out that women could not recite the Quran in public.Yesterday when a lady started the event by Quran recitation, Yasmin Yusoff (the wonderful mc of the event looked gorgeous.Lawa pulak bila bertudung!) repeatedly reminded everyone not to do any videoing or photo-taking throughout the event out of respect for our Iranian sisters.Then I thought it was so disrecpectful when she kept saying, you see those ladies in blue? They will take away your cameras and videos if you are caught taking pictures or recording.Wough, she made it sound like we were back during Khomeini's time (Azar Nafisi's version).Semua nak kena tangkap! She could have said it differently, right? The ladies in blue were very nice people.They just reminded everyone in a friendly manner when the crowd went wild during the fashion show (I was so so tempted to capture those wonderful2 stylish wear)

The Iranian spread was also delicious but could not stay long ...had to rush to another makan: dining with the newly-weds at Solaris Mount Kiara, Dr. Bubbles and wife.Iranian cuisine juga (Shisha).We had a nice time, talking and talking and talking.And eating and eating and eating. :)

Besok pun makan dan makan dan makan (celebrating Z's bday with her friends at her college).Most probably hi tea with Nik's mom and dinner with my mom and sisters.This year's Mother's Day must be my busiest year!

Was trying to look up lagu Ben (not by Michael Jackson) which I heard over the radio as we cruised along the highway.Wough, on the road!

Tak jumpa..anyone knows? I thought it was by McCartney but not on the list.Maybe I should call up Richard and ask him (of Light and Easy).
