Cerita Raya 1436H (2015)

Hai. Dah 30 Syawal jadi nak cerita pasal makan-makan Syawal kami. Lazimnya, setiap tahun rumah my parents akan prepare foods for second Syawal sebab ramai sanak saudara dan rakan taulan dah tahu kita ada kat rumah masa Raya kedua and my mom akan sentiasa hidangkan makanan yang dia buat sendiri macam nasi lemak, nasi kuning, nasi minyak, soto, pulut gaul nyior, pudding etc.

For the past 3 years, my contribution adalah on dessert table. Not that much pun sebab almaklumlah I ni amateur baker. Baking pun 2-3 kali setahun. Hewhew :P

Ini chocolate cakes and fruity bread butter puddings for Raya kedua at my parents’ house last year – sendirian berhad dan idea pun spontan je buat mana bahan yang ada kat rumah.

This year, I made mee tomato (8 bungkus mee) with its condiments (limau nipis, cili potong, cili jeruk, bawang goreng, telur rebus, sayur sawi celur), kek coklat 2 biji and 4 biji pudding roti with vanilla sauce for my parents’ Raya open house. Seriously penat sebab masa first day Raya dah letih from visiting, balik rumah terus masuk dapur untuk preparation Raya kedua. My mom made nasi lemak dan hidangan kuih muih, my brother and SIL tempah Singaporean bihun dan satay. Bila semua habis dimakan, hilang rasa penat dan rasa berbaloi memasak. Teehee. As usual, rumah Umi dan Abah kami penuh dengan tetamu sampai petang.

Ini cerita during Ramadhan pula : A week before Raya, kami pergi KL sebab hubby ada kes. Kami ambil peluang booked ticket flight (it was Firefly Zero fares, Alhamdulillah rezeki kami 3 beranak, we only paid RM100 for 3 persons) and met hubby there. He went to KL 3 days earlier before us. Masa booking ticket flight tu langsung tak teringat FF provides for double seats jadi a bit berdebar sebab kami 3 orang. Risau Khayra tanak duduk dengan stranger *urut dada* 

Tapi Alhamdulillah, it was a smooth journey, both kids bagi kerjasama, the cabin crews were nice and very helpful to us and the other passengers pun sangat memahami (as there was change of seats sebab nak bagi Khayra sit next to me yang dipisahkan dengan isle). I was so proud of you, Khayra :D (sebab tahu my girls are very clingy and it is a big NO with strangers). The lady yang sit next to Khayra sangat baik. Alhamdullah, Allah mudahkan segala urusan kami that day =)

Alang-alang dah kat KL, Zmah suggested for buka puasa together and she did all the bookings at Sime Darby Convention Centre. We met the next day and it was a huge buffet spread and we were among the guests yang terakhir balik. Hehe. Kami dah siap bagi duit Raya siap-siap dah and as usual kami ni kalau jumpa kalau tak bergelak ketawa – it was so not us. Haha. Thank you, hubs for these candid moments. Ni gelakkan Zmah buat muka toye masa first ambil gambar and we couldn’t stop laughing after that. Mak-mak orang dah ni tapi still macam ……. (*isi tempat kosong*) :P

Our kids – they can click together sebab dah selalu jumpa dari kecil :D
