Ok, ok! I know I've not updated much for the past two weeks or so. The reason being, er, busy? :p Anyway, it's better late than never, right? Some of them are even more busy and have not updated their blogs for a while. Pfft.

Here's wishing all Muslim friends, bloggers, passers-by, strangers, a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf zahir dan batin kiranya pernah saya terkasar bahasa, tersindir, termengumpat, terlepas kata yang tak sepatutnya, tertanya benda yang tak bermakna, bergurau tapi terover, mengusik sampai terusik dan macam macam kesalahan yang sewaktu dengannya. Ikhlas from my heart.

Can you believe we only started cleaning up the home just 2 days before the big day? But hey, it was fun! With the radio tuned to Ria (which is the only time I listen to it) and raya songs blasting through the speakers, we very the bersungguh-sungguh cleaned the windows, fans, floors, doors, kitchen cabinets. Really. It's not like we're expecting any guest for the first few days, but the atmosphere was there. Setahun tak sekali. My home gleams from the various liquid cleaners we used. Haha.


We visited my parent's on the first day of raya. Mom's cooking is the best! (well, everyone says the same thing about their mom's cooking, eh?) I've heard some who says they're sick of raya dishes by now. Well, I'm not. Give me rendang, ketupat, lontong, lodeh, sambal goreng now, I can still eat them! By the way, the lontong containers picture was taken at my home. Hubby made them. Really. My Chinese husband learned to make them a few years ago and has been making it for our guest ever since. I'm so proud of him. Heh. And he will glow when guest compliment him. That will motivate him to do it again year after year. Chia yo! :p

We invited my Chinese side of the family and some friends last Sunday. It was a blast. Though some of them couldn't make it since it's only the 4th day of raya and they were probably busy visiting or receiving their own relatives. Here are some pictures taken from that day. (Not many cos most of them are too candid)

For those who came, thank you for making our day. It's the most joyous feeling to see them enjoying our hard-work in preparing the food. For those who didn't come (you know who you are, pfft!), next time try harder. Haha. Or at least, inform us earlier so we don't waste so much food, eh. Heard of RSVP, right? Dum dee dum. And for those whom I've not invite (er, excluding strangers), you're welcome to my place anytime. Just gimme a ring-a-ding-ding.

Oh, did I say I love invitations? We have 4 invites this weekend. It's going to be fun fattening myself. Ahaks!
