BBQ Gathering - Egaila Family Beach

A casual BBQ gathering took place last Friday at Egaila Family Beach in Fintas. The gathering was the first to be organized since the end of Summer. About 50 people including students and kids attended the gathering and it our friends started to arrive as early as 9.15 a.m. The bulk of us arrived by 10.00 a.m....biase le tu Friday morning....Many more of our friends wanted to join but was unable to due to work commitments and ill health...well maybe next time.

Well... it took us long enough to get the fire started and in the mean time brunch was served from the array of food that were generously lined up on the table. The potluck included nasi puteh kari daging, ikan masin, mee goreng, bihun goreng, spaghetti, keropok lekor, donuts, cupcakes, mash potato with gravy, rojak buah dan lain-lain (sorry..I can't seem to recall all the food...but thanks the same anyway..he he). By the time nak Jumaat...api blum nyala lagi...so only after Jumaat we started "BBQ"ing.

The menu..biase le....kambing, beef, ayam ...and tak ketinggalan unta. Most the credit for shopping, marinating and "BBQ"ing goes to boys from Equate and Malakoff. Our thanks to them for their effort and hard work.

The kids had a blast playing in the sand stopping only when they are starving or too cold to carry on.

It was nice to have some time to chill out and catch up among ourselves and also to get to know each other a little bit better.


We took a group photo to commemorate the gathering and but some are not here kerana kena duty jaga anak kat tepi pantai atau jaga anak tido...coz by this time its already late afternoon.


We owe a debt of gratitude to Shukry who was the mastermind of the whole thing. We thank him for driving the event and coordinating everything so that everybody had a good time. The last of us left Egaila Family Beach about 7.00 p.m.


It was a nice day out and we hope that everybody enjoyed themselves and the place was really nice and the weather was almost perfect. A view from the jetty almost says it all.

Lesson For Old Age

Source : http://qisas.com/

To all, look with your eyes..but really look hard deep within your heart…..

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson.The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered.The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sightmade eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.We must do something about Grandfather,” said the son. I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.There,Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two,his food was served in a wooden bowl.When the family glanced in Grandfather’s direction,sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had forhim were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.The four-year-old watched it all in silence.One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly,“What are you making?”Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eatyour food when I grow up.”The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.The words so struck the parents that they were speechless.Tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knewwhat must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather’s Hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his Days he ate every mealwith the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care anylonger when a fork was dropped, milk spilled,or the tablecloth soiled.Children are remarkably perceptive. Their eyes ever observe, their ears ever listen,and their minds ever process the messages they absorb.If they see us patiently provide a happy home atmosphere for family members,they will imitate that attitude for the rest of their lives.The wise parent realizes that every day the building blocks are being laid for thechild’s future. Let’s be wise builders and role models.“Life is about people connecting with people, and making a positive difference” Take care of yourself, and those you love, …today, and everyday!That regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them whenthey’re gone from your life.That making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.”That if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you. Sometimes they just need a little something to make them smile. People will forget what you said … people will forget what you did… but peoplewill never forget how you made them feel.
