corat-coret di aidilfitri

alhamdulillah, i'm getting a lot better. the fever has settled. cuma ada cough sekali-sekala, and the nose has not been perfectly cleared. hope everything will be back to normal by this weekend.

salam aidilfitri. hari ni dah 11 syawal, baru nak cerita pasal aidilfitri. entahlah.. since the flu, kita ada mood swing, cepat get irritated and sensitive tak tentu pasal.

there's a lot to tell about the raya. to simplify, i'll write in point forms.

1. balik kampung on friday morning. original plan to start the journey at 6 am, and to head straight to KB. while on the way, we decided to stop at my MIL's house. niat nak balik KB tertangguh2 sehingga akhirnya berbuka di besut. sampai KB lepas kul 10 mlm.
2. elly was the first to reach home, followed by ei and liza. then it was me, and nadjee. kak ni, syam and kak ya balik a day before raya.
3. last day of ramadhan, went to pick-up baju raya. hmm... kaya juga jadi tailor ni. hari tu i picked-up 8 pasang baju raya, and paid a 4 digit amount!! (not mine alone, campur ngan my sister punye). lepas tu gi beli tudung at bazaar MPKB. also bought a new telekung for raya.
4. the plan was to survey and buy a new digital camera, sebab hubbyby had misplaced the battery charger for my Sony DSC T5. kita pun saje cari alasan nak beli camera baru. tapi hajat tak kesampaian, as hubbyby nak balik besut gak that morning. so no digicam this raya. kita pakai my non-digital Canon EOS 88 SLR camera.
5. first time in my life, i slept early on malam raya. lepas solat isyak terus pengsan... too tired. kita tak contribute tenaga pun untuk masak juadah raya for the next morning. and it was my sisters who waited for my hubbyby utk return from besut. dia sampai rumah dalam kul 2 pagi. padan muka kena panjat gate coz ayah dah kunci gate.
6. my siblings who travelled from KL on saturday morning faced a bad traffic jam. kak ya finally patah balik ke bangi and masak rendang for raya dulu, dan bertolak semula kul 2 ptg. the rendang was later called "rendang balik semula".
7. syam pula ubah plan and balik ikut k.kangsar-grik-east west highway.
8. Bb and sue beraya di rumah in-laws; temerloh and perak.
9. 1 syawal, i woke-up at 4.30 am, and menyibukkan diri di dapur utk serve juadah pagi raya. guilty feeling coz tak masak the night before!
10. juadah pagi raya was satay and nasi impit. we got satay Baung and satay Kajang brought from bangi. lemang and rendang balik semula, kuzi ayam + roti bun. the initial plan utk mengirai roti jala di malam raya tidak menjadi kenyataan.
11. went for solat raya and met few old friends.
12. my family was in blue for the pagi raya. our photography session was cut short as guests start coming to our house.
13. stayed home the whole day of 1 syawal as our house menerima tamu tak henti-henti dari pagi sampai malam. mum and dad were very happy coz anak2 saudara mereka semuanya datang visit.
14. kami semua penat di dapur since raya kali ni, kami semua dah tak de maid. so, kerja cuci mencuci pinggan diserahkan kepada anak2 dara 1st class cucu2 hj omar.
15. lepas isyak, we bertolak ke Besut.
16. in Besut, macam tak raya coz sibuk nak kenduri for my sister in law's wedding. the akad nikah was at 10 am on 2nd syawal. and the kenduri was on 3rd syawal. majlis menyambut menantu pula 4th syawal. so kita spent 3 hari in besut.
17. what was my role for the kenduri in besut? since kita memang bukannya pandai sangat di dapur, kita buat kerja potong memotong je. kita champion potong bawang and mayang the bawangs. Tok Su tabik kat kita coz tak menangis pun handle bawangs tu. kita kata kita ada protection... the glasses. Tok Su juga compare my finely chopped ginger with the other menantu. hehe... kita menang lagi!
18. kita juga akhirnya jadi tukang settlekan barang2 hantaran since semua org sibuk buat benda lain. oleh kerana kita dah biasa sangat ngan kenduri kahwin, bab2 barang hantaran ni, bolehlah kita buat yang simple2 but presentable and look nice. but they don't have proper equipments so tak de lah cantik sangat.
19. during the akad ceremony at the mosque, i found my hubbyby soooo handsome! di mata kita, my hubbyby paling handsome bila dia cleanly shaved, berbaju melayu and bersongkok/kopiah bila bersiap nak solat. sungguh bersih dan nampak suci gitu! sebab tu every year kita buat baju melayu baru untuk dia.
20. since my hubbyby is the eldest son, he acted as the wali for Zie, my SIL.
21. hubbyby worked so hard for the kenduri. the next day, hubbyby, kak long and din (BIL) had bad diarrhoea, vomiting and fever. orang lain sihat je...
22. balik semula ke KB on petang 4th day raya. and sempat merasa nasi kerabu my mom yang sungguh sedap itu.
23. khamis... kami menjamu nasi dagang. but nasi dagang bukanlah favourite kita, so kita makan sikit je. petang tu kami semua dah malas masak, kita beli berkotak-kotak pizza! dan org yang datang malam tu dijamu ngan mushroom soup, baguetta and pizza. semuanya licin!
24. on malam khamis, at around 2 am, hanif and my sister, Bb, had similar bad dreams yang menakutkan. peliknya, mimpinya sama dan dalam waktu yang sama. told dad about that... dia senyum je. hee... mysterious. khamis malam jumaat tu, kita sungguh takut nak tidur and hold-on tight to hubbyby.
25. plan utk balik KT ptg khamis ditunda ke pagi jumaat. yeay! sampai KT terus ke ward sebab kita on-call. after solat jumaat, went to my friend's house and had nasi ayam. in the evening, went to kak ni's house and had soto. malam tu kita mula demam.
26. saturday.... kita demam teruk..!

gambar raya? hmm... gambar kita belum siap lagi coz hubbyby belum hantar filem utk cuci. maklumlah tak pakai digicam this year.

selamat hari raya! utk yang belum puasa 6, silalah mula berpuasa. utk yang dah complete, alhamdulillah, selamat berhari raya lagi!
