Book Signing Ceremony by Awang Goneng @ Borders, The Garden.

K.Lili sms, tanya whether I'm going to Awang Goneng book signing ceremony kat Borders, The Garden on 8th May. Eh! Awang Goneng ada published another book rupanya. If I didnt receive that sms from K.Lili, I wouldnt know that Awang Goneng ada buku baru.

Mula2, bila pikir kena pegi The Garden on weekend, memang bercinta nak cakap yes to K.Lili. Pastu teringat that K.Mei cakap she was invited to a dinner with Awang Goneng, but K.Mei pulak was too busy to pegi. Then K.Mei bagitau that she wanted to go to the book signing ceremony kat Borders tu. Yay! ok la.. at least aku ada kawan and I get to tumpang orang to The Gardens. Susah weh nak cari parking kat situ on weekends.

So tadi, lepas cancel pegi KLCC dengan hubby, dia terus antar aku rumah K.Mei at 12.30pm. Sampai rumah K.Mei, hubby went home, and kita orang pulak, went out for lunch dengan K.Mei, Abang Zainol and Zuleika. We went to The Garden's food court, which is next to Borders. Best jugak food kat situ. At 3pm, we went to Borders, picked up few of Awang Goneng's books (K.Mei bought 5!), and waited for Awang Goneng to arrive. At 3.05pm, he arrived, greeted the audience, pastu bercerita sedikit sebanyak about the book and himself. Then start la orang beratur untuk dapatkan his autograph.

Lama jugak la sessi berautograph tu. Lepas habis the book signing ceremony, ada sessi makan2 food Terengganu. Erm... aku rasa cekodok pisang tak sepatutnya dihidangkan coz that doesnt melambangkan makanan orang Terengganu. Tapi tak kesahla, free food. We stayed there til 6pm. Then K.Mei and Abg Zainol sent us home. I baked madeleines for K.Mei.

After Maghrib, my brother, Harun and mak Shariff, Mas, came over for dinner. Walaupun aku dah keluar seharian, kena jugak layan tetamu. Letih! But I had great time menganyam ketupat with adik ipar aku, Ida and Mas. hehe.. biasa la.. bila beberapa orang pompuan sit together, mesti la kena anyam ketupat sikit.


 Sementara tunggu mama beli buku, the girls duduk kat Starbuck.

 Free Food!

Iffah nampak montel sebab dia keraskan bahu.. zzz... malu sgt2 nak bergambar.

 Iffah and Zuleika main games while waiting for the car.

Iman with hadiah untuk her Mama. Thank you sayang! (They pooled their money, and bought me the teddy bear)

  4. rina,

    i think they do not understand what Terengganu food is all about sebab tu boleh hidangkan cekodok. btw, the money tu comes from their own pocket. duit hadiah dapat A during exam baru ni. :)

  6. K.Lili,

    I'm happy that u're happy.Tapikan, tadi I tak sempat nak courier the books sebab I sakit kepala yg amat lepas balik from picking the girls from KAFA. I'm so sorry. InsyaAllah tomorrow I'll courier it to u now that I feel much better. :)
