Full house till Sunday

I have a full house again. Cheers!!!! Its been quite sometime since I had guests. Except Kak Cik, Ajoe and Nan of course, but they did not count as house guests. They are....hmmmm...sort of permanent resident. Except that, they did not take up full time residence. Whatever lah...point is, they come and go as they like.

Well.....back to the full house. We have Che' Non, Hisham and Nazri (plus a friend) all the way from Terengganu. Che' Non is Ummi's sister. She lost her only daughter due to a road accident sometime in 2002 and her husband two months later, due to post kidney surgery complication. She was devastated but the whole family rallied up to her, giving strong support. Che' Non is pretty strong herself, putting up brave front for the sake of her other kids, learning to be a breadwinner after being a housewife all her married life. For that, I respected her.

It's good to have Che' Non back to our house again. This time for a merry cause. It's Nazri's convocation day this coming Saturday. Che' Non must have been very proud and a wee bit nostalgic. Afterall, the time we sent Nazri off to UiTM, the late Ayah Ngah was still around, teasing me to no end about my temperamental red Satria. This time, only Che' Non is around to see Nazri receiving his much deserved scroll, though duly escorted by Hisham.

Che' Non has been through a lot. She deserves to be happy now.
