Kids’ Playdate cum Mommies Gossip Session at Zalia’s

About a month ago, before I went on my vacation Zalia had suggested that we (Zalia, Fara, Raz and I) get together for a playdate for our kids. It would be an opportunity not only for our kids to get acquainted, but also for the mommies to catch up. We decided to have pot luck tea at Zalia’s.

So after Akisha’s birthday party, we went straight to Zalia’s. I had packed Faiq and Aira’s swimming attire..just in case there’s room for swim time. I stopped buy at Delicious, Jalan Tun Razak to buy a Spinach and Mushroom Quiche (which were YUMMY by the way!). Since everyone was busy and we are in the 21st century, buying food for potluck would be equivalent to actually making them, as stated by Zalia (I CONCUR 100%!!)

Anyways, surprisingly I was the first to arrive. We were greeted by Zalia and 9 months old Harez who looked too cute in his Spiderman comic t-shirt! Faiq and Aira played with bubbles at the balcony while the mommies chatted before Raz arrived with Trisya and Fara arrived with her team ~ Layla Sania, Lily Saira and 7 months old Lara Sufya, whom I met for the first time! Rafiq had to entertain himself as no daddies were around except him.

Let's play while waiting for the rest!

Anak-anak pun elok je makan

It was indeed surreal to see all of us there with our children. The children played while we catch up on the latest happenings in our lives. Raz just received her MBA scroll from UM, Fara is desperately looking for a maid, me with my vacation story and Zalia who is a content stay-at-home mom. Of course our conversation will stop half way most of the time as we had to tend to our kids. I find it funny that Faiq seems intimidated by the presence of so many girls. I think he didn’t play as much as he would liked to and he even ended up picking up the toys voluntarily..huhu! Unfortunately, the kids didn’t get the chance to go to the pool as it was drizzling.

It was almost 6.15 p.m. by the time we took a group photo (sebab kesiankan Rafiq yang dah tertido on the couch).  The picture was really funny because Trisya pulled Saira’s hair and Aira cried throughout the process and stopped immediately after we finished posing. Faiq pulak refused to be in the "girl power" photo. We then kissed each other goodbye and hoped to see each other for iftar. It was a well-spent Saturday evening with family and friends :o)
