Farewell Party - BBQ

The time has come again...Two of the seniors in Krefeld left Germany today to pursue their dreams, breaking into the hectic working world and explore what the world has to offer..The seniors I'm talking about would be Peja( Faizal Nawawi) and Syapek( Syafiq Ruslan).Peja is planning to come back for Master but Syafiq has decided to go back to Malaysia for good.We'll see what the future brings...

Brotherhood bonding was created between us even though we've just known each other for the past few months.They were like brothers to me.We had so many memorable moments together : helping each other, making fun of each other, compete against each other and so much more.Exciting and funny moments to be cherished and treasured.The sweetest moment would be when both of them very enthusiastically trying to learn on how to bake cakes and muffins from me.Haha..chomeyl...I had little to give but more to gain from them..As the quote goes....

"Having someone that inspire us to rise to higher and greater levels is an awesome gift. Surround yourself with people that inspire you to do better and inspire your friends as well. It is a profound truth that the people we hang out with will shape the path that we travel."

Before going back to Malaysia, Peja and Syafiq were celebrated by a farewell party and a bbq party.We'll start with a farewell party involving the Malaysian NRW Group....

BBQ Party

A good friend of ours, Mustafa was really touched when he heard that Peja and Syafiq are going back to Malaysia.He planned a BBQ party to spend the last moment with us and to celebrate a farewell to Peja and Syafiq.Mustafa is a turkish guy who the seniors have accidentally met at the mosque few months ago..They chatted and had tea together and then became good friends instantly...Mustafa is a really nice guy and sincere in making new friends.Whoever who has met him would definitely say the same thing.

19th May - The memorable date for the BBQ Party.The event was held at a beautiful garden belongs to Mustafa's family.Such a great venue to have a BBQ...teruja habis! Ye word of the post this time is "teruja".harap maklum..

Syafiq, Hakim and Peja buying drinks for the party...

While waiting to meet Mustafa and his friend, Cihat (pronounced as Jihat)

Such a lovely garden his family has...I would like to have a garden like this where I would get to plant my own vegetables and fruits and have bbq all the time..insyaallah one day..

We were mesmerized with the garden...Mustafa explained to us the history of the garden where it started as an unwanted piece of land due to it's bad condition..Mustafa's family bought it and took about a year to repair and renovated the garden into what it is today with electric and water connection...Gigih tu penting..

Before getting started with the BBQ, Mustafa cleaned the grill with an onion...I guess that is to sterelize the grill and neutralize the smell..

Preparing for the BBQ...we all took turns to light up the charcoal..
that was fun!

While waiting for the bbq to start..alololo bajet cute la tu..Peja and Syafiq..

Mustafa prepared all the food...we had bread, cheese, barbecued sausages, chicken, veal and vegetables..They were delicious!!!

I brought along chocolate chip cookies as "buah tangan"..terduduk depan meja awal la plak..hee

 Cheeky Sangpil and Peja..they were funny...

Group pic before the feast started...

We had a great time barbecuing that night..we spent the night chatting and eating and drinking tea...It was a wonderful moment for us...Thank you so much to Mustafa, Cihat and everyone for making it happened..

I hope Peja and Syafiq had fun on their last few days in Germany...We wish them "All the best in their future undertakings" and hope to see them again in the future..Take care...

Goodbye shouldn't last forever.
It doesn't mean it's the end.
We'll miss you that's for sure

Until the day we meet again!

Tschüss und mach's gut!!!
