We went to Bik Non's place last night after work. In office clothes.

I was casually asking whether they had any albums for me to see, sekali tu AH's cousin said, "Ibu! Kak Nani nak tengok gambar!" I was like..aiseh, spoil reputation aku yang tak kepo langsung ni.

I'm glad I asked that actually, coz we (everyone!) had a good time flipping thru the old browning photos, laughing at rambut ding-dong, baju seksi, make up tebal, really huge Box-like cermin mata. Very nostalgic. And the notes that came on the front page of the albums were hilarious too ...with all the olskool spelling.

I asked to see his Allahyarham father's photo & I saw him, standing there, looking helpful, looking similar to my AH. Sometimes I do wish I got to meet him, but I know he's in a better place now.

I saw Mama (my MIL), looking confident and beautiful (as she still does now) & I felt quite fascinated at her talents. She was a Mak andam, you know, and her make up, was really vogue for the 80s standards.

I saw AH, as a 10 yr old, looking really adorable. Yesterday when he wasn't looking, I looked at him many times, for minutes & I saw the 10-yr old look in him. And I wondered, Wow...this guy, was once that cute child, that adorable kid who was so loved as a child. And now he's all grown up, and he's my husband, ready to begin a whole new life with me.

That's mainly why, AH, I persuaded you to bring yr SLR to Maldives. The memory may stay forever, but physical reminders won't hurt, ey? :)
