Eid-ul-Adha &; ehem ehem... shh...

It seems like I'm only talking about Eids here. I'm so busy nowadays that I could only talk about big events right now (yeah, right!).

Anyway, of course, Eid-ul-Adha came and went. I'm sure you know that I'm going to say it was fantastic and all that but the truth is, I've had better ones. Eid, that is.

This year, Eid-ul-Adha fell in the middle of the week on a Wednesday. That made it difficult for us to go anywhere unless Mommy and Dadda took extra leave days, which they didn't. So, we went back to PJ and celebrate Eid with Mama and Papa. I did however got to see the korban at the mosque after the Eid prayer.

So, enough about Eid. I've news to tell you! I heard that Tok Abah and Tok Mama are planning another umrah trip and Mommy has asked Dadda if she could go along. And guess what? She plans to take ME along! Oui, MOI! How exciting is that? Anyway, it's still a plan and nothing has been booked yet so I'm not gonna talk about it and jinx it.

But I'm really excited! That'll be another plane trip! Woohoo!

Will keep you updated.

p/s: Dadda also was fortunate to go through the Hajj experience back in 2006/07. Check out the album here!

Eid-ul-Fitri 2010

Yes, yes... I know Syawal month came and went. I was just too busy attending all the open houses and weddings and other events. You know how it's like.

So, to sum everything up in a not-so-draggy post, I'll just let you feast your eyes on the photos we took during the month of Syawal.

This Eid, we spent our first day in Tok Mama's hometown in Rembau. On the eve of Eid everyone worked together to prepare some traditional food. They're a must for every Eid and have to be done according to Nek Wan's specification too! - Ketupat and Lemang.


Tok Uda was the one who had to look after the Lemangs since everyone was late (we also arrived later that night, after the Takbir at PJ)


The morning of Eid, Mommy and I got up and got ready as soon as the rest of the family left for Eid prayers.


When everyone came back from prayers, we gathered and took some pictures together in our red outfits (it's our theme colour this year).

Then, we went and visit a few relatives...




The next day, we went to Aunty Huda's house in Muar.


It is normal to have 'open houses' throughout the month of Syawal and we are encouraged to visit friends, old and new in this month too. So, we went to some relatives and friends' houses, especially ones that we don't get to meet often.

The first house we went in KL was Cu Jeed's house.


Her mom cooked and we tried Cu Jeed's kuih raya.



We also went to Aunty Abby's house in Putra Heights


and Tok Mae's


and Uncle Rosh's


and Aunty Ciah's (she did her daughter's birthday celebration too)


and finally, Uncle Ded's in Tropicana.


On top af all that, we also held our open house at Tok Abah's place in Subang Permai.

Did we have a good Syawal?
Yes, we did. We had a GREAT Syawal!
Hope you all did too!
