I still do LOVE raya...eventho im far away in london!

Raya used to be the season where i get the chance to buy (more) clothes, eat yummilicious food, listened to the latest gossips in the family and earn Ka-ching $$$

=)

We used to have raya tradition when i was smaller. Few days before raya will be the spring-cleaning time. That was horrible! Mama will forced me to lap every single thing kat living room; including those bells and crystals in the almari *sigh* After solat sunat Aidilfitri, we'll gather at Atuk's place at sect.2 and makan*take photo*makan*gossip*take photo. Then after zuhur, we'll continue our journey to Kuala Pilah where we normally muntah whenever we sampai at the Bukit Putus bit. ehehehe. The rest of the 3 hari raya pertama will be in Kuala Pilah; melawat my mum's family dan yang sekufu dgnnye. It'll be from Kampung Sawah Lebar to Kampung Tengah to whereverlah.I'll be bloated with lemang and rendang by the end of the day.

oooo...i miss my childhood raya rituals =(

But this year's raya wasn't that bad actually. To be honest, i had loads of fun this time!!! I had wonderful friends around me and food were involved. Damage has been done to the throat though. Ate too much of those raya food *Read: Oily but yummy!* and i end up with this sore throat :S hopefully the "pill sakti" from Z will work!

::.:: Raya 1::.:: Went to MSD for solat sunat aidilfitri. Spent the rest of the afternoon preparing for the raya gathering that night. Floyerians' open house was a success =) Thanks to my crew esp. orang kuatku; Miss F and Mr. Z. You guys are the best lah! If im the architect, you guys are the engineers who made my dreams come true ;) Thanks to everyone who came too. I hope we filled your tummies to the max with those food; lontong, soto, nasi tomato, roti jala&kari ayam, nasi impit&kuah kacang, satay ayam, chocolate truffle cheesecake, fruit triffle, caramel, pandan sponge cake and choc chip cookies =)

::.:: Raya 2::.:: Did a bit of revision in the morning. Spent the afternoon at Taj's new place in Old Kent Road. The house sangat best! It reminds me of rumah teres in Malaysia. So cosy and homely. Definitely my second home after floyer ;) Taj made lovely kuah kacang *if only i makan kacang, i'll definitely give it a try. sorry taj!*, urtah and nadia prepared the ooo-sooooo-sodaaap rendang daging and there was nasi tomato too. Makan sehingga tak boleh bergerak. Gossiped. Moved on to Krispy Kreme :P Rushed to P.Mudd's place in Euston to kasi my bro's "duit raya". Watched rugby semi-final Endland vs France. England won!!! woohooooo~

::.:: Raya 3::.::
Had late breakfast at MSD's open house. Then had late lunch at Ijah's place. Results= 100% BLOATED!!!! hehehe. Food were nice at both places. i loikeeeee! We were on our way back to Whitechapel when Miss F suddently had this urge to amik picchas at Plateform 9 3/4 at King's Cross. So yeah, with my hot RED baju kebaya, we went to take picchas with the trolley. I guess Miss F wished that it'll take her back to malaysia to raya with her family kot. hehehe. Dinner was nasi lemak and MORE krispy kreme and kuih raya. weeeeeeeee~ sudah booon-cheeeet!!!!

Need to tido now. Tomorrow Oral Surgery clinic at 9.30 a.m. Amik x-ray patient. Pictures akan diupload sooooooon. insyallah. Till then, take care people. -xoxo-

u spend THREE days kat pilah? *shocked face*... errrrr... i spend less than 24 hours. hehe... and 10% of it eating, 80% sleeping, another 10% trying to stay awake. maybe ur raya lagi best kut, coz u still have grandparents and all. my dad is anak youngest sesat and i am anak youngest sesat and the youngest grandchild on dad's side, so i think i pernah spend like, less than 5 hari rayas with gramps. and because i am the youngest grandchild (and sesat pulak tu), my cousins are all grown up dah bercucu dah pun so i kinda takde gang. my cousins' children are older than me! hahahaha... so tido je la on hari raya.

btw, this yr bukit putus congested ok, on first day of raya. LOL.
