wan chik

i have always envied this lady.she's had a good structured life ever since she was a small girl.

Wan Chik.she's my aunt.my mother's youngest sister.and oh my,they actually share the same birth date.07 October.when we were small and arwah Atok was still alive,October was the month the whole family was looking forward to.we will normally gather at Kelab Golf Negara Subang and had the birthdays celebrations.yes,birthdays.mama's family consist of 4 siblings and bravo to the good planning(or a mere coincidence),October had been the lucky month where they were all delivered to say hello world,good bye womb.yes.mama,Ayah Nyah,Wan Yang and last but not least,Wan Chik.

i guess being the last,she had always been the golden girl.she had been growing up to see her elder sisters and brothers excel in their academics.and she had been the top student all her life.i think i could remember she was awarded with an honorary grant by UM and the whole ceremony was held to congratulate her for her achievements.and she went flying with good results and graduated with flying colours and came back to Malaysia being awarded with a Renault by arwah Atok.i very much adored her then.in the early 90's that is,my dad was only driving a yellow mazda with fury dashboard if i could remember it right and there she was driving a stylish silver renault with all the modern features(as i could remember because i was comparing it to my dad's oldschool mazda).

and of course,what else to do after one have finished her studies; ->hit the altar!she was married to a handsome uncle called Ayah Chik in a matrimonial that i remember my whole life because i was the flower girl and had got the priviledge to be on the Pelamin the whole evening in a beautiful white dress holding Wan Chik's gigantic bouquet of pink roses.and as i like to conclude it in the fairy tales,they lived happily ever after. :)

and she is now in Doha blessed with 4 children and a happy home.

i have got her sms days before and when i got the text from her using a UK number,i gave her a call,almost immediately.and as i heard her voice at the end of the receiver,i was a bit stunned.she sounded like mama.and i have missed mama very much.

and so i spent my 3days with her.we called Syukri on the bus but he's in Warwick and busy attending classes that he couldnt come over to meet Wan Chik.pity him for that because we had a great time together.we bought a postcard to send to Opah and she was browsing through one of the cards that i have picked.'the only difference in London since i was here years ago was this London Eye'.hehe i suppose.

we walked the streets of London and she knew better!she had a better navigation instinct than i do(well,isnt that apparent since i get lost easily) and i suppose she was the one who became the tour guide.haha big laugh for me.

and yeah i got the priviledge to stay over at the hotel she's staying in.it was hmmm okay la.i expected hotels at Park Lane to be woww or aaauuwww but it was fairly okay laa.it was just as similar as the many Pan Pac that i have stayed in and nothing to be compared to Mandarin Oriental or Maya Hotel.hmm cant really blame the building's age because as we all know how old Maya hotel is but how delicate the interior is.5 stars for that!but i couldnt deny the fact that the bed is sooo comfy i would pass on breakfast.

and the time she's going back to Doha,i packed my stuff and tercampaklah keluar dari hotel tersebut.isk.kan ke sedih tu.

but all in all it was a surprise visit for me and i was very much thrilled.thank you for coming.silalah datang lagi! :)
