breaking fast
August 17, 2010 • 31 comments • 1961 viewsI usually don’t like going out to buka puasa.
Not because I have something against buffets. I’m not crazy or anything.
But because I have an Ustazah Mommy at home.
Me: Mom, I’m breaking fast outside tonight k.
Mom: Mommy tak tahu la apa nak jadi dengan anak Mommy ni. Mommy tak ajar anak Mommy keluar malam macam ni. Bulan puasa bulan yang patut you baca Quran banyak-banyak, sembahyang terawih dekat masjid, berzikir all the time. Not go out hoo-ha hoo-ha malam-malam. Lagi satu Mommy nak cakap, Ramadhan buffet in the hotels, not all halal ok. Mommy pergi kelas agama, Mommy learn so many things. Anak-anak Mommy tak pernah nak ikut, kalau cakap pasal agama sikit, terus nak tukar subject. Mommy tahu you all dah besar, tapi agama mesti ingat. Jangan ikutkan hati je…
Pause.
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU ANSWER TO THAT?!!
Me: Yes, Mom.
Mom: I don’t know anymore. You want to hoo-haa outside, you go la. I already told you.
WHEN SHE SPEAKS IN ENGLISH, YOU’RE SCREWED.
Time to pile on the youngest-child charm.
Me: Ok Mom. I rarely do this. Islam doesn’t forbid you from eating out, righttt? *snuggles into her arms hehe* We can choose to pray at home, pray at the mosque, pray in the surau, God will still love you, rightttt? *gives her a kiss on the cheek* I’m not going hoo-haa, I’m just going to buka puasa with a buffet.
Of course I got what I wanted, but only because I went out AFTER maghrib to respect the prayer times.
Sheesh generation gap. If this gets her worked up, I’d hate to see how she reacts if I tell her I want to go clubbing or something!
I went to PJ Hilton buffet with some friends and their family.
PJ Hilton buffet is largely Malaysian food, so don’t expect any international cuisine there. Everything was yummy, as always.
Top: Topshop
Headband: Sereni & Shentel
Nick and Dean; best friends since school
Dean sent me home and into the house to hang out with Mom and Opah, as usual. He does that everytime he takes me out.
After almost 4 years, he is still such a polite boy 🙂
Sibuk only
Much better!
On another ocassion, I went to Nikko Hotel to entertain some company guests who came from outside KL.
Nikko buffet; food selection is good, but food itself wasn’t amazing.
Even so, the company is half the fun, so the night still ended very good.
Also a plus point; I met a lovely PD blog reader who so sweetly came up to me to say hey.
Stole this from her blog.
Ok time to kiss Mommy’s butt now. I have another buka puasa event soon. Oh no.
It’s so cute the way you turn on your charm on your mom 🙂
Haha! U crack me up!
I can so hear your mom in my head!
what a cute mom! *waves excitedly at aunt A because i know she’ll read this. hehe!*
is that a yellow torchlight on opah’s sidetable? what for? 😀
so scary O.O
haha same story here la.but its nice to have someone to remind you once in a while.canot hoo haa all the time oso must have balance maa.congrats aunty for raising a responsible daughter =)
Hey..deanla!*blushing*Opps me plak over..hihi ^_^
Yeah true,NIKKO Hotel buffet so2 only but EXPENSIVE yes!Better dine at home,confirm sedaaaap!
and i thought only my mom use the word hoo-haa hoo-haa …looks like its most mom’s favorite word 😀
LOL I can so imagine how your mom sounds when she tells you that!
wow! even grown up, mommy still look after u like a dear little girl. haha!
ur mom’s sentence is sebijik like my mom’s
Hahaha. You made me laugh my head off.
hehe.. i’m with sha! my mom uses hoo ha hoo ha everyday. pd, i like your mom so much! and she speaks malay altho she can speak really good english – thats the attraction. i mean we all know your family is filthy rich but at the same time, you guys are humble.
salam ramadan to you and your family! 🙂
and hugsss to opah!
haha..your mum really reminds me of my mom..Anyway, what she is doing is she’s reminding her lovely daughter to take good care of herself..Your charms really work dear..hihi..Good to see opah is doing fine..and Dean..I don’t know what to say about him..He always makes it right..Hope both of you will have a happy happy ending..=) InsyaAllah..

oh, mothers… we just love em regardless. same technique btw, in answering =p
hahahha.. ur mum just like my mum..
Hehehe kalau I kat Malaysia my mom would say the same thing. Even though I dah tua ganyut, married with kids! sigh! generation gap indeed!
Looking at the Buffet pictures makes me wanna cry! Can’t wait to go back home.
Actually, now I am regretting not approaching you that day! hehe! 😀
btw PD, I think you’ve lost weight. you look even more petite now!
hahahaha…moms always be moms…once, when u have a child, you’ll repeat all over again what’s she done to you….really, it’s works because she protect you from bad things thats always happen at night…and for sure as a muslim its her responsible to remind you, so when she’s not around you’ll remember all the things that she reminds you…last time i also like dat but when i have my own child now, the protecting action comes naturally…omg, now i really like my mom…hehehehe
Salam –
PD, u r sooooooooooooo lucky dear. Ada mak yang sentiasa ingatkan you. nowadays dah x ramai parents yang macam tu. ramai yang lepas tangan i.e. you nak makan apa, nak pakai mcmana,ikut sukahati you lah.Aunty – semoga Allah panjangkan umur & mudahkan perjalanan hidup Aunty sekeluarga ameen!!
yes PD, you’re very lucky to have such a mum. my mum’s not around anymore but i’ve always felt closer to her, in my own way. but thankfully, i still have my ‘Mak’, that’s what i’ve called my grandma whom reminds me of the wajib, dos & donts, all the time. and i love her to bits for that. cherish the family you have PD, they’re your treasure!
p/s: the buffet looks scrumptious!! 😀
i have no mom to nag at me now…kinda miss her already 🙁
may Allah put her in Jannah…amin.
I think if i were Syaza, i will only look from afar and admire u coz i’d be too scared and too self concious to say hi.
oh my!!!! i’m glad to know that there’s sum1 out there having to face the same problem with me every time there’s a buka puasa event. i thought my parents are extra strict but i guess it is just that they love us so much, dont they? there’s always mosque and we r not just hoo haa -ing. it is called spending QUALITY time with dear friends. Heee heeeee
haha your mom is just like my mom! is there a secret mummy guide that we do not know of?
PD: Thank you for your comment on my post. Hope to bump into you soon too! 🙂 Selamat Berpuasa! Take care!
PuanP: Actually I thought of the same thing and didn’t want to disturb her. However,I couldn’t resist and didn’t regret saying hi. She was very nice and plus, I got a picture with her. Big Yeay! 🙂
everitime buka outside, baru nk bukak mulut mak sure nag ‘mana surau nye?’ maghrib2!’ haha
bulan puasa pun keluar clubbing?! mashallah.
looking gorgeous in your yellow ice ice baby! selamat berpuasa & berbuka honey xoxoxo
emm, clubbing? if i got you wrong, please correct me but i must say pd doesnt club 🙂 she’s a good girl. she just said it to make it sound more lively 🙂
I have an ustazah mum too 😀
yup going to the buffet after magrib is better, you get the comfort of praying at home, no need to deal with traffic jams, and you can eat till you hearty and full without worrying if you can pray afterwards
