Me & fiza went to Eunos CC on the 7 Oct, Sat, for Ramadan On Wheels (ROW), organized by 4PM. And as usual, my good friend was late, so we took a cab there. So I told my bloved man that we are going to be late and to just meet us at the CC.
ROW is an event where we volunteers reach out to less fortunate families with home-visiting and giving them food for their everyday needs. This is an enriching, eye-opening experience for ignorant youths like me, who takes everthing (well, almost) for granted.
Back at the CC, the food were being loaded onto each car. I was in CAR 17, with Izuan Shah (nama glamour seh), Hidayah and Zura. AND not forgetting our kind driver, Cikgu Adbullah ;)
We spent most of the time at the back of the car (surprisingly, all of us gurls could fit at the back, even with 4 boxes of thermo pots on our laps) taking pictures of ourselves with Izuan camera. Soorry DUDE, but the camera juz LURRVE us!!
We had 5 houses to visit on our list. At the first house, it was kinda akward. Excitement, confusion and curiosity all rolled into one, and it made my stomach queasy. So we gave the food, NTUC voucher and the thermo pot ...a few moments of quietness... before we interviewed the kakak (she's too young to be label makcik). So, while we were chatting, (me & my big mouth) I brazenly asked her, "Kakak nye suami mane?"
The reaction I got from her made me feel guilty...I shouldn't have asked her, in fact I should have just shut my trap. Idiot
Back in the car, I told everyone how I felt, and it definitely felt better when Cikgu said it was alright.

Off we went to the other houses, this time I will be more tactful and more compassionate.
I am just thankful for everything I had and I know I am one bloody LUCKY brat to be given everything I asked for.
Lurve you mom & dad & my bloved aunt
