Kisahnya....

Most blogs I visited had already posted about the recent Hari Raya do. I saja yang belum berkesempatan - er, malas pun ya jugak. Dah cerita rayanya sama saja. Nak nak cerita Suddenly, Heta! ni, dah boleh orang agak... masak, masak, masak. Memang Hari Raya hari memasak tak renti-renti. Ada aje benda  yang teringin, dan bagaimana nak dapat sagu kalau tak dipecahkan ruyungnya, ya tak?

Anyway, dalam sibuk-sibuk memasak dan melayan tetamu yang datang, sempat jugak curi masa yang agak panjang sebelah petang hingga membawa ke malam dengan beraya ke rumah sepupu arwah bapak. Dan, bukan tahap beraya lagi, sempat berkaunseling-kaunseling dengan second cousin yang dalam proses menjadi single parent. Sedih. 


Selepas Maghrib, kami beransur ke rumah Ayah Mat pulak. Dia ni asyik beli rumah sesajor...rumah last year kita orang beraya pun tak sempat nak lepak-lepak sepenuhnya, dah pindah rumah baru. Cerita beraya di rumah Ayah Mat boleh baca sini.


Here are some photos yang sebenarnya keberatan nak upload...hikhik! :

Juadah di rumah Wan Chik Faridah di Rapat Jaya, Ipoh...

Rendang Dinding yang yummy! :)

Kek lapis strawberry yang mabeles! :))

Gadis-gadis yang pantang nampak kamera...

Rumah Ayah Mat rasanya yang paling meriah...siap dengan bunga api bagai! Nasib kami baik, sampai kat rumah dia sebelum another 'clan' datang. Apalagi, kami 'pau' dulu hidangan nasi dan lauk pauk yang sedap-sedap... hehe! When we were about to leave, tu dia...bergerabak sanak saudara yang sampai. Ada yang kenal, ada jugak yang jarang-jarang sekali ketemu. Memang best raya kat sini. Ramai dan tersangat MERIAH!

 

My nephew, Ahmad Mukhlis main bunga api dengan...

oops...sowi, terlupa namanya!

An uncle, third cousins yg tak pernah jumpa,

and my two bros-in-law...

The host, Wan Chik Asiah with one of her cucu-sedaras...(great-niece!)

Semoga panjang umur, kita berjumpa lagi di tahun-tahun akan datang, insyaAllah.  ;-D

Tonight, as I sit listening to the songs in my playlists, I could not help thinking of my good friend I visited this morning. Like a week before Raya recently, she is still the same... hugging me the moment I greeted her and crying shamelessly on my shoulder - beating her chest now and then as though she is releasing a monster out of her wasted self. And her words kept ringing in my ears...'sakit lili, sakit...' in between her wails. Yes, she wailed.

Thus is a peril of a broken-hearted friend whose husband, assuring her that nothing has changed even though he has taken another wife, fails to see the once cheerful being she was has become almost a zombie.

I hate to elaborate...

... still, I don't know why I have chosen this song... :(

My Belated Raya Wishes!

Salam Lebaran Minal Aidil Walfaizin everyone!

I know, I've been away too long from my blogging world and also 'effbeeing'. There's so much going on around me during Ramadan. Some I handled just fine, but one or two did not seem to leave my mind. It is like watching a video clip over and over again. But then again, like the saying goes, 'berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu memikul'. 

Alright, let's put some sad things behind for now... It's the festive season again and let's be joyous!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI

MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN
