It's been +/- 2 weeks since my last blog. Tho' my last blog is a short one but it is still a blog...:p.
We or muslim celebrated Aidilfitri or Eid on 1st of October this year. Yes, it is still wonderful, the gathering with family and all but it is a bit quite compare to last year or last few years. Is it because of me? I'm getting older and had enough of the eid celebration? I really don't think so. Surprisingly very few nenek or atuk in my kampung still giving me duit raya! hahaha!! My mom said they are all rabun. (Maybe, cos my younger sister tak dapat, hehe!)
I celebrated my first day of raya in Jasin, Malacca. As usual, we have all sort of rendang and ketupat which is different from Negeri Sembilan, they serve lemang and rendang daging. All the relatives, except for Pak Ngah & Family (they are in Putrajaya with their daughter who is in the hospital) and Pak Itam (who is in KSA) were here in Malacca. Unlike in Negeri Sembilan, we woke up at 6.30am (my mom being a mom huh...)
This year, I get a visit from my colleague. Thanks guys! Thanks for taking all the trouble and thanks for coming to my humble house, chewah! Maaf kalau terkurang, terkasar, termasin or termarah, hehhee!! They drove all they way to my hometown from KL. I could not ask for more...I'm deeply touch and appreciate all the sacrifice they make. Thanks a lot! (Btw, Jac there is no rendang udang for raya and I don't think it is ever existed)
I wanted to post the pictures I have (tho' only a few cos my camera rosak tengah jalan, huh! Benci betul!) but I guess it will be delay.
As for second day of raya, we ('we' means me and my sisters) are off to my dad's hometown in Juasseh, Negeri Sembilan. Same ol' same ol', same house, same routine and same biscuit!
To avoid traffic, we drove back to KL on 3rd day of raya. Oh, what a wonderful empty road...
As I said earlier, this raya is a bit quiet. Is it because of the finacial crisis? The political crisis? Or the food crisis? Which I don't think so...hurmmm...why ah? Tell me why?
