(And please don't get me wrong. Hehe. I'm not pretending or exaggerating just to attract attention or act prissy. I'm really terrified of moving fur. On bad days, my heart will be pounding up a migraine and I'd start sweating. I have even cried or screamed in frustration. Fears are irrational. I'm ashamed of being so weak. I think I shall attend a camp or course to conquer this fear. God bless all those who have been patient and empathetic towards me. Thank you for not feeding the cats near the table or near me and for not going on a spiel about how much you love cats and how they are so great. So long 2 hour stories about your 49 feline pets aren't exactly what I'd call engaging dinner table conversation. Hehe. Nonetheless, I love all animals for they are God's creation but I'm still afraid of moving fur okay. =( For all those who have shown patience and consideration, you guys have hearts of gold.)
Anyway! Thank you Yanni for inviting us and for hosting this dinner. The ayam penyet at Sri Bistari @ The Malay Village is really worth a try. 
The sambal belachan was tasty and not too hot. The chicken was juicy and not at all dry. The rice and the soup were done just right. And despite continuously being interrupted by feline terrorist invasions, I enjoyed my dinner and finished everything, albeit quickly!
The highlight of the dinner was in finally meeting and really connecting with interesting bloggers like Faddy....
...and Hak! A big "thank you" to the both of you! The two of you are so easy-going and fun, with plenty to share. More meet ups, I say! =)
And yes, Nadya came for the dinner too. Thank you babe for offering to help with the "Bloggers Give Back" project! =)
The dinner party was made up of a small close-knit group who were mainly Yanni's friends and blog readers. I think everyone enjoyed themselves amidst good food and good company.
I know Aidil and I did. =)
So till we meet again for another makan and bonding session! Cheers,
Shaz
P.S. Aidil rushed down to attend his first Meet-the-People session tonight (after the dinner) and he says it was an eye-opener. We can't say anything more about the sessions save that: (1) he is inspired to continue getting involved and (2) the spirit of volunteerism is strong amongst people of various education levels and financial status. Some have so little to their name and yet sincerely have so much to offer. Some rushed down straight after booking out from camp. Talk about community spirit! It's very heartening. I like and respect. =)
