hari raya updates + lots of snapshots

astaghfirullah. this entry should have been posted 2 days ago but i have problems dowloading the pictures into the blog. sorry lah, her royal highness MIA for almost 1 week. it's not like anyone misses me pon kan kan kan...(reads - mintak simpati lah tu) *winks*

hari raya pt. 1

alhamdulillah. tired but satisfying. standard lah, hari raya is super bee-zee period. as my mother is staying with me, anak buah, cucu buah, buah keduak semua datang berkunjung to my place. at times it seems difficult for us to go anywhere. but i am really grateful for their presence. ingat jugak jorang kat mak esah nie.

love them all!

semua ni her royal highness punyer

anak anak men'h'antu mak

cucu cucu nenek

waris-waris haji ismail bin mohd don (abg yah jer takder, uweekk!)

1st day, visit to my in-laws is a must. all siblings (minus abg yah who's away in jeddah) gathered at my place in the evening. ayam masak merah, ayam masak ros (thanks to sis banun) rendang daging, kuah kacang, sambal goreng, serunding, ketupat n lepat (thanks kak long) were prepared for them, my beloved brothers and sister, nephew and nieces.

in the evening, we pay our respect to my paternal grandaunt in choa chu kang. (no pictures though..dah lepak banget, make up pon dah ronyok!)

hari raya pt. 2

2nd day rayer, yok! jalan raya yok! jalan rayer with my side and my husband's side. haiz, kalaulah badan ni boleh di klon, memang dah lamer i opt for cloning. terkejar-kejar jugak ke saner sini, shuttling between my husband's and my side but alhamdulillah semua happy.

just both of us lah

feelin' couple gitu since the kids are running loose at the void deck

persatuan biras-beras bersatu

sis's eldest son dan ibu mertuaku

persatuan besan-besen bersatu

my family and bibik

walaupon lain bendera tapi ko tetap akak iparku

at my bro, abg yah's hoiuse. but he's not here...uweekkk!!

hari raya pt. 3

3rd day rayer kat kampong parit haji moin @ batu pahat. yey!! met most of my cousins yang dah lamer tak bersua muka, some for years! my cousins, they now call KL their homes, thus only kat kampong lah we can meet up and yak away, even for a shortwhile but terubat jugak rindu. and their growing up children, my oh my i couldn't recognise some of them.

sadly, my beloved aunt, mak montel is not like mak montel dulu. she has changed alot, drastically. all our prayers for her good health and wellbeing. semoga mak montel cepat sembuh. amin.

snail traffic after ayer hitam exit toll..wat else to do, snap shot ah

this signage wasn't there last year

my kampong, my childhood memories were etched here

cousin a-boy. he is the only cousin who stays put at the kampong. but till today i don't know his real name....

my cousin abg atin who now resides in KL

overall, yes i can definitely say it's not too bad a raya after all.

my dearest abg yah, kami menanti kepulanganmu di hari raya. tomorrow will be the day when we can finally meet. insyaallah.
