Happy Eid Mubarak! (It's still not too late!)

Salam and hello to all my fellow blog readers. I know it's been ages since the last time I blogged. Last night I was browsing through this blog and I was surprised that I've only have 8 posts for year 2012! Like 1 post for each month!

I love my blog. The reason I started blogging is to keep memories alive. So I'm sorry I haven't been updating a lot lately.

Anyway, I hope it's not too late for me to post this entry on our recent Eid Mubarak celebration. We had turquoise theme this year (so we can wear it again on my sis's wedding this September :P). I guess I was one of the lucky ones who doesn't have to fight every year to decide which kampung we should go this year. Because my husband and I are both from Alor Setar. Our parent's home were just a stone throw away!

Sara wasn't in a good mood on the 1st day of Eid. She was a little cranky and fussy. Bought Sara's kurung at Ddyan Closet. Nasib baik sampai before raya. Or else no kurung lah for Sara.

Us with my mom

I told you she was cranky

My dad, brother and elder sister couldn't join us on the 1st day of raya. Dad and my brother were in JB.

Later that evening we went  to Wan's parents. Makan-makan and took some photos. 

Top - We will never missed beraya at Maslia's , my dear friend since highschool. 

Bottom - 2nd day of Eid.Every year Aidilia will have an open house at her parent's. Thats 5 of us. Bestfriends since highschool. Together forever :D

How was everyone Eid celebration? 

On Eid Mubarak 2011

I hope its not too late for me to post my raya entry. Hey, raya kan sebulan? :P

Anyway, this year is definately a blast for me , wan and hariz because we have Sara!!! Finally I've got someone I can play dress up with :) I just went nuts with all th headbands, dresses and shoes. Tunggu la dia dah besar and boleh jalan.

This year we celebrated raya only in Kedah. All my family went to raya n JB as usual. Normally we will tag along but this time, since we have Sara, and she is still too little to travel that much. Maybe next year we will raya in JB.

Sara and me!

Our theme for this year is tone of reds! My baju is actually fuschia.

I hate wearing glasses during events like this (rasa tak cun :P) But my contact lens decided to turn against  me so , yeah, i have to wear the glasses. sigh.

Daddy's little girl

Sister in laws and me

On 2nd day of Raya, we went beraya to my girlfriends. Total of 4 houses. Sampai maghrib jugak la habis makan. fuh. But the best part is seeing these faces again. We hardly see each other coz they are all in KL and Im here in Penang.

Hariz and Sara got the most duit raya. and Hariz can never get his hands off Sara. Sayang betol dengan adik dia.

So how was your raya?

Selamat Hari Raya from us!

The story of an Ostrich name Cinta

This is actually the continuance of my 1st raya story. I just got this photos from my dad's cam. Anyway...

Getting married and have a child doesn't mean I am an exception to receive duit raya. We get duit raya every year! Be it yang sudah bekerja or dah kawin. Afterall, we are still daddy's girls :)

Later that day we continue to visit the relatives on my dad's side. I love celebrating Hari Raya in Johor because it is merrier! Imagine that my dad is the eldest and he had 7 siblings. and my grandpa, he too had 7 siblings!! Times that!

When we were busy makan kuih raya, my baby sis came into the house and shout 

"there a big bird outside!!!!!"

I thought maybe it's one of those big birds like ... er... doves perhaps?

But no.! It's this bird!!

An ostrich!

We seldom see an ostrich being  a pet do we?
His/her name is Cinta. Well that's what my tok told me. 

We were soo happy to see the ostrich and decided to jump! :P

hohoho.. memang takde kena mengena pon. It's just that we were done makan-makan, and the old folks were still talking inside, us yang *ehem* muda-muda ni tak tau nak buat ape, main lompat-lompat kat laman rumah orang. Tak senonoh kan? :P

Hariz pon seluar melayu dier dah pegi ke mane, pakai sampin je dengan pampers :P

I guess that's it for my Raya story for the year :)

Celebrating Eid with friends

Raya kan sebulan?Kan kan?

Last Thursday was a public holiday as our country celebrated Malaysia Day. Me and Wan decided to stay home and invite few friends over for a little makan-makan. Niat nak buat open house tapi macam tak larat. We were still exhausted from our trip back from JB. So we just 'open' our doors and just welcoming whoever is, well, coming! :P

I stayed up until 4am the night before to prepare the dishes. Takdela banyak pon. Simple-simple je like makaroni bakar (wajib ade), spaghetti (wajib ade jugak), brownies and sardine roll which I just learned how to made it :P

This will be the 1st time my girlfriends ever reached my home with their family.

l-r : dilia, k'own and moi

Raya tak sah tanpa gambar posing ntah hape hape kann

This will be the 1st time too I witness Hariz mingling with other babies. Hariz is actually a very friendly baby. He loves to make friends and uh.. a kisser. haihhh.. baby boy pon dier nak kiss.

and we had a visit from my classmate in uni all the way from Sarawak. Jauh si Dona ni beraya.

It is so good to see all on this raya we got to meet our friends yang sudah lame tak jumpe. Catch up on stuff.

Thank you guys for coming!!!

My journey from North to South on Hari Raya

All this just to be with our beloved family on the Hari Raya :)

We celebrated our 1st day of Raya in our hometown in Alor Setar. Since my whole family is already in JB on the 1st day of Raya, we had our Raya at Wan's side.

As usual, family portrait session is a must on every Hari Raya, don't you agree? I really love it here because the house is actually in the middle of the paddy field. The view is much much nicer if the paddy were green but it's still looks okay right? :D Suasana kampung gitewwww :P

Wan's side of the family. 4 brothers and 1 sister.Hariz was asleep when the photo was taken. Kesian nak kejut dier pulak.Letih beraya kot.

and later that day, I went to Maslia's for a raya visit. She is the only friends I've ever get to visit during Raya. Yang lain semua balik kampung. Huhuhu. Notice Hariz pants? Dah kotor dah so pakai short je :P

The day after, we flew to JB to be with my family pulak. Photo taken on the 3rd day of Raya. So most of them dah tak pakai baju raya.

Hariz masih beraya okeh. Hehehe.. My mom bought the sampin for Hariz so managed to put it on in JB je.

More photos coming. :)

The 9/11 tragedy coincide with my Eid celebration

How cliche!!

That's all I could say about my raya celebration this year.

but we still had fun, despite of all that :)

Let me start my raya post with this story ya?

So please bear with me.

We celebrated our 1st day of Eid in our hometown in Alor Setar and headed to Penang to catch the 1610hrs flight on the 2nd day of Eid to JB, which is on 11th September. We got out of the house at 1400hrs in seberang jaya which normally takes only 30mins drive to the airport but to our surprise, the traffic was  bumper to bumper even before the toll. Apparently, there were TNB cables on fire on the bridge. We thought the traffic wasn't so bad and pray for the best. [more on the news]

...............................................................................

until at 1530, we were still on the bridge! I was like 'hot worm' (cacing kepanasan) because we might missed our flight! I called everyone, the airport, Airasia to hold the plane! (yeah it sounds ridiculous but I was desperate!) but of course they WON'T do that. Not can't but WON'T.

Finally we reached the airport at 1545 and I was running like a madwomen with 2 luggage to the check-in counter, hoping I could still made it. The female behind the Airasia counter said I did't make it eventhough there's still 20minutes left.

I was really desperate and the next minute, I was actually begging the female to let me check-in. I was sooooooo frustrated and furious at the same time because no matter how I begged, she won't let me check in.

Apparently, I was not the only one who missed the flight. There were almost 30 more people going to JB that missed the flight! How can they not let us check in??!!! What did they suggested? Buy new ticket lah! (they're really bloodsucking company)

I was this close to give up going to JB but after that much trouble and afterall, it's Raya, we went ahead buying new ticket, but we had to transit from PEN - KL and KL-JB. Imagine from 1400hrs and arrive in JB at close to 2200hrs. We wouldn't mind if it's just the 2 of us, but with little Hariz tagging along, it's really tiring & exhausting for him. Poor baby :(

*sigh*

I know it's raya and I should be blogging about how happy and wonderful my raya was but I just want and need to share this with you, my blog readers. My dissapointment towards the effected individuals. AA and TNB.

{photo from thestar.com.my}

*exhales* okay. I feel much better now. Will blog about my raya celebrations soon ya :)

Stay tuned!

To all my lovely readers!!!! :)

Raya 2009

Every year, my whole family and I will be celebrating Raya in our Tok's in JB. Tapi this year, since i can no longer permitted to board on plane or taking long drive all the way from Alor Star, so we decided to celebrate Raya in AS. Me and hubby.

Starting with the night before 1 Syawal, the boys main fire works (no mercun ok!) Sangat meriah ;)

This is my 2nd time celebrating Raya with my hubby and also the 2nd time spending 1st raya in Alor Star. Slalunyer, 1st raya mesti dah ade kat JB.

with my in-law

Attending Kak Na's aqiqah on the 2nd day of Raya. (Baby girl yg sangat cute b4 they cut off her thick hair. Poor baby)

With the girls ( friends for the past 10 years and counting :))
