Festive Holiday

Salam to all, it has been long time since the last post. I have'nt update anything for more than a week. A very busy week, that would be the best reason to say.

Where were I during the festive holiday?

Well, I was on AL since Tuesday the 7th until 16th. All due to Aqil's school was closed due to Eid celebration. My Eid is a normal, not so much fun I would say as we did not visited many of the relatives, just stayed at home and spent time with family.

I went back to my husband's side on Wednesday morning, and on Thursday, his grandfather prepared some 'lemang' for the family. He's old but thinking of that 'lemang' is a must have dish during Eid, he is still doing it on very year as well as during EidulAdha!

As usual, I did not have chance to perform Eidulfitri Solah in jum'ah as to take care the kids! So, i just performed it by myself after my husband returned from 'surau'. I really missed the environment of performing Solah at the mosque during Eid!

The tradition at my husband's place is that there will a visit from 'surau' group together with the kids from house to house, which is even you live alone, you have to welcome this group no matter what, hehe. As married to an only son which only has a mother, (father has passed away), there were lots of work need to do at my MIL including cleaning before and after the event! And it is always a tiring day but I like it as there were many kids asking for 'duit raya' then left! On the second day, we just stayed at home do nothing but sleep! (soo..teruk!!!..eheh)

On the third day, we moved to Ipoh, to my family, visiting my bro and father. My mother was in Kedah with my sister since she just gave birth to a baby girl recently. She refused to have her 'pantang' at Ipoh so that is why my mother is there! Pity my father had to celebrate alone! Luckily my bro is around! So still, he had the chance to meet his sibling! Me, I did not have the chance to meet my sporting uncles and gorgeous aunties almost every Eid as I was never at Ipoh when they came to my house! Pity me! Hope there will be wedding this year, so that I would have the chance to meet them!

Then, on the fourth day, we traveled to Kedah to visit my sister and mom. I haven't been there for almost 6 years since married! Many things have changed at my sis house! And I really missed my singleton time when I always spent my holiday at her place, playing around with her kids! Her baby is so chubby, so round! I feel like I want to 'geget2' those cheek! Hehe.

At Kedah, we spent 2 days, got the chance to be at Pekan Rabu, where my intention was to find scarfs but none to my liking! Then, my MIL asked for 'kuih loyang' from Pekan Rabu! I don't know how she discover about it! I don't even know about this kuih loyang came from Pekan Rabu! We went to Bukit Kayu Hitam Duty Free Zone and to my surprise, it has changed a lot. I prefer the old ones where it got a bazaar with many stuffs being sold at a bargain price! Now, they're gone! The duty free zone complex, is only a name, stuffs in there are old ones and not that cheap! I wonder why they named it 'Duty Free' when the price is almost the same at the outlets in normal shopping complex!

We returned KL on Wednesday safely! Alhamdulillah all wnet smoothly, we were not stucked in any traffic jam during our traveling! Alhamdulillah!
