SALAM AIDIL FITRI

I've been very busy lately with the preparation of the joyous day... Hari Raya Aidil Fitri. So much to do but so little time.

I hope it's not too late tho the wonderful day has been over a week ago...from the bottom of my heart saya ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin jika terlanjur bahasa n perbuatan.

Apart from beading and cooking for iftar i've managed to bake some cookies n planting some flowers just to brighten up the house n add on some new cushions... i must have at least one new item for the house menjelang hari raya...
huhu!

 biskut korea barat, biskut french, tart nenas, kek prunes n biskut jejari oats

my frst attempt at rendang tok...not bad...rupa buruk tapi sedapp hehehe!

Like every Hari Raya,the first day will be messy n chaos!! In the early morning after dressing up accordingly off we go to Kuala Kangsar to solat sunat Hari Raya with Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Pemangku Sultan Perak...n the others...

we took only dira n rasyid with us.....

bapak  n my nephew were also there....

Back from istana...after bersalam-salaman n bermaaf-maafaan with the children we went straight to beraya with my mom in law at my sis in law's place. After spending a few hours there kelam kabut pulak preparing to attend majlis raya at MB's resident.

Next,after packing our bags we put a night at my parents house...beraya disana pulak. Thank god our parents are all in the same town!

As usual on the second or the third day it's always a must having open house for my families....but unfortunately when my hubby's family came to the house i forgot to take any pictures.

the golden girls (with my sisters n sis in law) something is missing....my dear sis iha...wish she's here!

my children n their cousins

On the 5th of Hari Raya my hubby n i went to KL for one night...sempat beraya with my sis iha n hubby's uncle. Oopps! terlupa nak ambil gambar raya with my sis iha...too much of raya stories to talk about!

as usual great selection of food given by sis iha....

On the 7th.of raya my niece kak yong, mom, cousin puteri salwa n aunt enda came over. It was quite a surprise when my cousin roza n aunty tut fr.KL brought along a special guest to my house...Tengku Suraya.

Even though i feel a little bit tired n exhausted after receiving guest n visiting families n relatives i'm happy cos this is the only time where we can all meet n get together. 

Alhamdulillah selagi kita masih bernyawa elok lah kita memanjangkan silaratulrahim.It is very sad that on the 3rd n 4th Hari Raya my hubby's uncle n his cousin's wife had passed away.Innalilla.....

I hope we shouldnt be having any ill feelings n grudges with one another for a long period cos we wouldnt know if we have the chance to ask for forgiveness n the chance of celebrating the next Aidil Fitri. Let's be happy n tolerate with each other (even tho sometimes it can be unbearable) hehehe! No lah...gurau je
After all it's the time of giving n forgiving!

Till then

Bye...

SO MUCH WORK BUT TOO LITTLE TIME....

Assalammualaikum...



I guess i've not been a sport lately for not updating my blog. I wanted to but i just cant spare the time for i'm trying to finish the beading of my baju kurung. But i give up...i cant just visit n give some comments to others when i've got so much to share with you all...

During this year's Ramadhan,i've not been cooking much variety of food for iftar like i used to. Well maybe there's only the two of my children left n ...i'm so immerse in beading that i just cant think of much food. Only during the weekend je i'll be extra busy in the kitchen cos my house is fill with extra people to dine. Nevertheless during every iftar... there's quite a spread on the dining table!

well being typical melayu we luv eating rice during iftar...

some of the selection of food during iftar......

lovely spread of seafood......

Besides dira n faiz, we had invited my mom in law n sis in law n family for iftar the first weekend of Ramadhan.

And last week-end my whole family had break fastinq at my dad's house...my sis teh,intan n my uncle n aunty were also there. 

lovely selection of food...everyone seem to contribute something....i brought mix vegy n mee rebus.

These are some of the things that i'm busy with for the past two weeks...my work of beading....Gosh! i still have a few more unfinished baju kurung to bead n... i still have to bake those sweet cookies...n those flowers... i still havent plant them in my garden...raya katakan!

these are only half of it...i'll be showing more.

So much work but too little time...Nowadays time fly very fast n before you know it, it's already about ten more days to celebrate Hari Raya.  Even though i've a maid to help me but when it comes to cooking and making cookies...i will rather let her do the cleaning and tidying up.

Till then, you'll be hearing from me again soon...

Bye!
