....on Friendship and Favours....

            Today was such a day. Favours asked and favours given. All in the name of friendship.

            Zai is a childhood friend. We've known each other since we were 12++. We met at boarding school. Only to discover that our families knew each other too. Which forged a stronger bond between us.
            From dormmates to bff to partner-in-crime to "sunset years" buddies!
            Enroute to her place yesterday morning, I stopped to pick up some baking powder for this baker extraordinaire - for use as ant bait instead of going into her cakes. Also picked up a packet of bicarbonate soda she requested.
            A request fulfilled. She happy, me happy :)


            We [Zai, Kemar and I] then drove off to meet up with Daing - who had graciously and generously hosted a lunch at KGNS to fulfill my request. Daing went one step further - she actually invited 14 of us to this lunch!
            Thank you, Daing :)
            And several of the 14 came bearing gifts, mostly for the host who will be going off to Mekah to perform her hajj soon in syaa Allah.
            See how happy she looks with her presents!


         
          And how happy we were with ours!

 Great food......

Wonderful company...................
 

Chu on her superbike - a sight to behold!

An unexpected invitation to Koji's beautiful home......

 
.....for tea.

It didn't stop here. I got hungry and felt like having scrambled eggs and toast. Zai rustled those up for me...plus her divine coffee.
Yup! Friendship is such. Favours requested. Favours fulfilled. With no thought of compensation.
And Allah somehow gives much more when this happens. Alhamdulillah..... :)
