or that because she made my daughter happy with the pencil case and cute baby princesses t-shirt...
or that she made my son happy with his spiderman stuffs..![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNy6D5t6GsGe4oRkd3WGMlNHM7gPvi21A2VlAPd7-Dol_hyphenhyphen0QS8PLSf6Yv-npokwNl9OpWB9V9q9Om_d7dLDbJLz-WOP3_DDX3lTNLmpJMVmtcv70S-8W-8mMJYlxFfeVh45PtapjKU9k/s400/DSCN1702.JPG)
or that she sent me agar agar powder complete with 3 sets of cute moulds
or that she sent me varieties of asam (preserved fruits) in which one of the packets i had demolished within less than 5 minutes..
I was actually dreading the journey to hatice's school.... at least 40 minutes on the mini bus.. 10 minutes walk to her school.. picking up hatice....another 10 minutes walk to the mini bus...then change of bus to taksim....and on top of that..it was raining at that time!! We left our home at 130pm...
Alhamdulillah... Allah had sent me an angel under the name of Kerim (my bro in law)... we bumped into him as we were coming out of the apartment block...he offered to send us to Hatice's school.. he was also the one who offered to bring us to the minibus (dolmuş) stop for taksim......u bet i was relieved!!one dreaded journey saved...
The traffic to taksim.... to cross the bridge was horrifying....but we made it there in the end around 4.20pm...still raining...we walked around under the rain..but the kids were hungry... i fed them food at one of the restaurants.... we later walked and walked under the rain....freezing....

And what do u know? Halil got stuck in the traffic jam ...and instead of 5pm...he reached taksim by 6!! huwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ....the kids were getting restless... they were cold...we ran out of shops to go into..i bribed them sundaes at burger king later even...they were getting exhausted n bored...
The kids were full..i was hungry... i told halil to pick rudi up from the hotel while the kids n i waited at a restaurant called *Pehlivan*. And later... one good looking sweet smiling guy came to us.....Yup! Rudi was finally here.....!!!
We didnt bring Rudi to a Kebap shop coz we thought that his stomach may not be able to take turkish food yet.. and so Pehlivan (upon Selim's reccomendation-our first time there too) was the obvious choice coz they have varieties of turkish food for Rudi to choose from which he may be able to stomach...We ate.... chatted and later we parted ways.........rudi will be here today n fly to dubai tomorrow morning. He is lucky today coz the weather is quite sunny....
Halil explaining the turkish food for rudi to choose from..
Rudi n his food... suprise suprise.. he liked Ayran (a turkish drink made from yogurt, water and salt)
Arent they cute together?
or that she sent me agar agar powder complete with 3 sets of cute moulds
of CouRse I am grateful for all these stuffs :0)...
but i love her now coz the thoughts of even sending me anything (a total stranger) whom she has never known or met except for my blog in which i can lie n people wont even know ...right?)...
THAT made her so priceless!!
and Thank You Rudi!
Jasamu dikenang
So many things had threatened this meeting with Rudi.It all started when Halil said that he needed to go to the university on wednesday (he said he would be free). Then,his knee was acting up again on tuesday evening, resulting him to limp painfully with the walking stick in one hand...But upon "discussions n persuasions", we decided to meet at the Taksim Square at 5pm coz Rudi's staying hotel was near there. ...Meaning.... Halil would come from the uni (in europe)... and i...... i would have to go to hatice's school,pick her up early and head to taksim with the kids..we live in asia by the way...
And guess what??? I woke up on wednesday morning with the sky all cloudy n the road all wet... an indication that the weather forecast was right... huwaaaaaaaaaaa...when i asked halil thru YM of the weather at the other side of the bridge.. he said... it was raining cats n dogs....
I was actually dreading the journey to hatice's school.... at least 40 minutes on the mini bus.. 10 minutes walk to her school.. picking up hatice....another 10 minutes walk to the mini bus...then change of bus to taksim....and on top of that..it was raining at that time!!

dear Rudi.. hatice is pronounced (hatije) hehehe baddin he could pronounce..
Rudi with halil, hatice and baddin
From the bottom of our hearts.... we thank Rudi for wanting to meet us... kalau ada terkurang layanan tu... harap dimaafkan...i am also grateful to my kids for being able to endure the long hours even though they were exhausted at that time...
I dragged them all that way to see Rudi..not because i wanna show off my kids...my only sincere intention is for them to get acquainted to the people from my roots...and this chance comes sooo rarely
and Kak Elle....words cannot describe my feelings as i munch on my asam hehehehe
THANK YOU
Thank You for hopping by...Hope to see u again the next time.

Simah, I read this entry with a smile. It is amazing how blogging can foster friendships. It is also endearing and very nice of Kak Elle and Rudi to go to all the trouble to make your and your family happy with that nice gesture of friendship (I know you must have been very happy to get your asam). Your kids were sweet too, tahan pulak tu endure the cold and rain. And Halil was nice too, putting up with the traffic jam and all so that Simah can meet with someone "from her roots".
Moments like these are to be treasured.
Bila pulak Kak Elle nak ke sana? Dan entah bilalah I boleh ada peluang sampai ke tempat Simah??
