Aidilfitri 2011

I am still on Raya mood although today is the 19th day of Syawal 1432. This time raya memang raya sakan...our theme colour this year is Orangy Peach. It was my sis-in-law's idea to have the orange theme colour when we spent one of the weekend in JB for school holiday...So I bought my material at Jakel in JB and sent to the tailor in Seremban...(it's my first time with the tailor)...and sent over 4 materials all together. The other 3 were bought so many many years ago..I think 4-5 years back.

2 days before Syawal, my tailor called to inform that she is hospitalized due to dengue...So I had no choice but to search the whole Seremban town for my attire on the first and second day. Started with bazaar Ramadhan and continued the next day...I went to one boutique to another...it was a little bit of challenge to look for the "orange" that I want...not only the colour, but also the design...finally I found the colour yet simple kurung that I wanted to wear for the first day...

My heart and soul









We spent malam raya at my mother-in-law's place and the next day, my sis-in-law, who I called "Chef-Diva" cooked soto, and I cooked chicken rice. After prayer, we had family phtography session... Later in the evening, we went to 3 relative houses in Seremban, then went to aunty's place in Bangsar and finally went to my parents' home in TTDI..

Second day, ...we had our usual family gathering on 2nd day at my aunty's home in Kajang since 2004, after my grandmother passed away. Well, this year we decided to wear black & write..all these years normally no theme colour for 2nd day. I bought caften from my sis-in-law...black background with off-white flower...since my tailor could not have my kebaya ready :-( 


2nd day theme is black and white

On 3rd day, we spent the day at home..we were so exhausted after 2 days of makan2 non-stop..hehehe...After asar, we went to my father's friend's house in Kuang...the 3Q's residence. We enjoyed the food as well as the ambiance definitely. On that nite, we drove back home...

Forth day, my family and Az's family visited my mak long in Seremban Garden. We couldn't visit her on the first day at my cousin's place in Bangi...After that, we headed to Kuantan to attend the wedding of my sis-in-law's younger sister. On the way to Kuantan, we dropped by at Raub to visit my hubby's aunty...Later in the evening, we continued our journey to Kuantan, and spent a night at "homestay" in Balok...
