Salam Lebaran

Happy Eid to All!

This might come a tad too late, but we are still in the month of Syawal and like the old people used to say, raya kan sebulan....Hehe...

So how was your raya? For us, it's fun fun fun - all the way. As mentioned in my previous entry, this year, we celebrated our 1st Syawal in Kuala Terengganu at my grandparent's. All of us travelled back 2 days before raya and Alhamdulillah, the journey back/forth were both smooth sailing - no traffics jams, no accidents, no interruptions - tapi ade speed trap!! - but we are safely within the speed limit at that time...*phew*....

In KT, we managed to replenish our stock keropok ikan tamban and ikan parang....Husband gets to eat his favorite kuih asidah, kuih belimbing, karipap ikan, keropok lekor & jala mas for iftar - 2 days in a row!!!

On 1st & 2nd Syawal, all of us buat rombongan Cik Kiah and visited all the aunties and relatives and had our round of Nasi Dagang, Laksa, Nasi Minyak, Sate, Rendang, Ketupat Palas Goreng, Lemang and of course, lots and lots of carbonated drinks...i think the kids enjoyed the trip more than the adults since they get to switch and swap which car they think is the coolest and which car they want to trash for the next trip....ini tak masuk cerita how much they managed to collect for their duit raya....fuhhhhhh.....patut SuNany 'tax' sikit duit raya tu sebab dah sepah kan kereta ngen serdak biskut raya....^_^....

As usual, since there were just too many of us, we are unable to stay at Tok and Ki's place...we had to rent a homestay bungalow at Jalan Kamaruddin...the house is very cozy, fully furnished and air conditioned...its clean and comfortable with enough space for the 10 kids to run around...satu je yg takde is Astro...but we had the normal TV channels which are more than enough - tak sempat pon nak tengok TV kat rumah, asyik berjalan je....and whenever we're at home pon, asyik duk bersembang, so tak sempat nak tgk jugak....but we brought our portable DVD player and my brothers also brought their laptops with more than enough cartoon DVDs to keep the kids occupied....

We bid farewell to Terengganu on 3rd Raya, and head up South immediately that night to Batu Pahat to continue our Raya...All I can say is, after more than a week of being away from home, when we finally reached Kota Damansara last Saturday, I was more than happy to say....finally, we're home sweet home...eheheh...nonetheless, next year, it's another round of travelling again for us...
