suatu hari di hari raya

pheeuuwwww....

11 hari saya cuti uols. bestnyaaa cuti kan. sukanyaaaa lama-lama cuti ni. rasa dah macam nak cuti sampai hujung tahun takmo dah kerja. over. so how was your raya holidays? mine was...bolehlah. i love the holidays but not the raya itself. boleh plak kan. sebab apa tak suka raya? toooooo much of family drama. urgh! benci sangat. well i'm not gonna scribble about what happened in here. dah susah sekarang ni. blog pun bukan rahsia sekarang ni kan. ada je nanti mulut-mulut jahat yang suka kot tengok orang bergaduh ni pastu sampaikanlah berita yang tak betul. just saying. not that i accused anyone pun.

enough about that. anyway, tema raya tahun ini adalah merah. kerlasss kau jah. merah mak ngah. sangat. dah lama dah decide merah ni since march ke april. and tahun ni saya ada perasaan nak overdiva lalu memilih kain lace untuk dijadikan baju raya. kerlas kau jah lagi. almaklumlah, nak kahwin lambat lagi tapi dah tak sabar nak pakai lace. tu yang terus buat baju raya. hehe.

my baju raya yang merah mak ngah

tahun ni raya sederhana. meriah kat KL tapi tidak di JB. maybe because my cousins came here to celebrate the 1st raya at my house. tu yang terasa meriah sangat. this is kinda their first time sambut syawal kat luar JB since my cousin kerja kat Penang and start cuti masa malam raya. kira on their way back to JB diorang singgah beraya kat Cheras. terasa gembira sangat. mak masak laksa johor. lagi lah saya suka. did i tell you how much i love laksa johor? it's my ultimate favourite laksa. second comes laksa sarawak. untuk sesiapa yang tak tahu and nak tahu (yang tak nak tahu skip this part ek), my abang cik (my male cousin) married a melanau iban sarawakian (kak pika), who was a christian before converting to Islam about 6-7 years ago and they have a 5 years old son, irfan whom i love to death. kak pika brought along her cousins (who is a melanau chinese) to my house untuk sambut raya and we were having a blast. dah rasa macam 1 family je even though baru 1st time jumpa. yes, very the 1Malaysia kan family saya.

kami sekeluarga ingin mengucapkan selamat hari raya aidilfitri, maaf zahir batin kepada yang mengenali...

.berangan tak hengat. haha poyo.

this time around takde gambar makanan. too busy talking and layaning si irfan kecik tu. after spending some minta-maaf moments, we went to visit my grandma (on my father's side) in Kg. Pandan for some food feast (lagi!) but the rest went straight back to JB. kat rumah nenek makan lagi. this time makan ketupat. ye ketupat ek bukan nasi himpit. rendang, lodeh pun ada. tapi kan tapi kan...baru sedar sesuatu. sampai laaaa ni belum rasa sedikit pun kuah kacang. yup. banyak banyak rumah pergi takde pun orang buat kuah kacang. nak kuah kacangggggg. sedapnya ketupat dengan kuah kacang...nyum nyum. 

aktiviti kat JB sama jerr macam tahun-tahun lepas. malam tidur hotel, siang beraya rumah saudara mara, sahabat handai. melawat kubur arwah nenek and atuk. cuma kali ni we had the opportunity to visit the site which was once i called kampung saya. sekarang kawasan tu dah jadi padang jarak padang tekukur dah. sedih je rasa tengok tempat kitorang membesar berkumpul ramai-ramai jadi macam tu. dah tak tahu dah mana tapak rumah kampung saya dulu. sob sob.

...di Kg. Melayu Pandan, Johor Bahru. semua dah takde...

so that's basically it. 3 days 3 nights in JB. a lot of dramas. a lot of tears were shed. a lot of food were stuffed down the throat. a lot of money were given. and also dapat duit raya gak walaupun dah besar gabak ni. tak kesah lah kan berapa janji dapat duit raya. kau hado? haha. anyway, that summed up the whole holiday. geez...this entry should be titled 'what i did last raya' kan? haha...

footnote : aaahhh tidak!! tidak!!....tak bestnya dah masuk kerja balik. nasib baik minggu ni 4 hari je kerja sebab saya cuti semalam. dan minggu depan 4 hari jugak thanks to hari malaysia. and rasa nak amik cuti sehari pada minggu lagi satu tu monday maybe. nak 4 hari gak je kerja. dasar pemalas kau perempuan. huhu...
