On Saturday at 3pm, Thennet parents invite us to their house for a playdate with Thennet. Rumah mereka is at Forrest Hill, 15 min from our house. Sampai je, Aqil malu2 juga. Tapi kejap aje..mak Thennet bawa dia ke play room Thennet.....terus tak ingat mama dia!! Aqil buat macan rumah sendiri!! Biasanya kalau pegi umah orang, Aqil akan melekat je ngan mama ...dah lama baru nak join main..tapi kat rumah Thennet..memang tak malu langsung!! Dia siap panggil mak Thennet "mommy"!! Thennet pun sakan main ngan Aqil. In fact, kata mak dia, biasanya dia tak main kat laman belakang rumah..tapi hari tu, riuh dia main bola ngan Aqil!!
Thennet family is from Cape Town, South Africa. Di NZ, ramai coloured African yg berhijrah ke sini, because of safety reason. Mak Thennet cerita, even when they wanted to take the flight at the airport pun rasa takut di hijacked at the airport!! Scary juga dengar cerita crime rate at Cape Town. Anyway, mak Thennet know we are muslim, so dia mencari restoran halal around here to buy foods, tapi tak ada. She was saying kalau kat Cape Town senang sangat nak beli makanan halal. In the end dia beli biskut made in South Africa with tanda halal. Barulah kami tahu, banyak makanan South Africa di jual di sini ada tanda sijil halal!
Memang kami perasan ada banyak kedai runcit "South Africa" around here, tapi kami tak pernah masuk. The next day we decided to go one at Albany...the whole kedai jual makanan from South Africa yg bertanda halal!! Kagum betullah!! Kenapa tak ada kedai "MALAYSIA" with all our halal foods???!!! Kan senang!! heheh..Lepas ni nak cari kedai South Africa yg lain pula to see other kinds of food pula!!
Aqil and Thennet had a great time playing together..Mak Thennet siap offer, hantar je Aqil kat umah dia for few hours if I need the time for myself (she knows Nihra nak balik!!)...tawaran menarik tu!!! ;)
