I got Zainul's text roughly before noon saying that the Officer Cadets were gonna have a family meet later at 4pm. It was only for 1 hour 30 minutes. As planned, we went to my dad's brother's house in Pengkalan Batu. They invited us for open house. It was nice having to see Amit's house after renovation. It's now big and spacious. I like the living room! The furnitue is also ... wow!!
We left to visit Zainul 15 minutes to 4pm. I texted Azri to drop by buying a birthday cake at Serusup before going to Sungai Akar Camp. It's our mum's birthday today so we wanted to surprise her! Besides, Zainul will still be in the camp when it's his birthday next 18th Oct. So the cake's for mum and him actually :-)
It was nice and indeed soldiers are families!! :-D As soon as they saw Zainul bringing the cake to mum from behind, those who saw him doing that started singing the birthday song. For a moment, all attention was to us! Camera shots greeted us too! It was so welcoming. When mum opened the cake casing, now it was Zainul's turn to be surprised as he saw his name carved on it! Hehe ... Mum and Zainul then cut the cake together :-) It was a surpise for them indeed!!
PS: At around 8.30pm, Zainul texted me again saying I had left my wallet in one of his bags!! So I rushed to the camp again and took it just before Zainul and his comrades marched back to the hostel. Azri was eating his Jollibee's meal (rice+fried chicken+egg). Zainul asked for a spoonful and in the end took the whole thing! Hehe ... I guess he's missing the outside world already ......
