From Ramadhan to Syawal

This year's Ramadhan was a little different from the previous. Naaaahhh...i did not turn into Nigella Lawson....I didn't really cook that much although we didn't buy food at Pasar Ramadhan. This year ...Mon-Fri, all of us buka at mama's. Only weekends that i cook for buka puasa. Itu pun bukan nya special sangat ...just the usual, buah gula melaka...then i made Kebab, Kueh teow soup, soo-hoon goreng, pita stuffed with chicken mayo....ahhaaa this year i tried to make nasi kerabu ...from scratch. Bisalah hubby liked it but tak taulah if dia nak ambil hati je. To me everything turned out well...cuma the sambal is a little bit termasam.



I also tried to loose some weight in this holy month. Well.. i did loose a few Kgs....but i gained it back during syawal. So i can conclude that i did not loose any weight. How sad.....

This year's preparation for Syawal pun tak lah macam dulu. Very simple and i did it verrry slowly. I bought the kids baju raya about a week before raya.(Tunggu ISETAN sale) Then the baju Melayu, songkok and samping...4 days before raya. Mannnnn...we went hunting for the baju Melayu like crazy. On saturday we went to PKNS, Alam Sentral, SACC , finally The curve. at SACC MAll, found the right colour with the right material from OMAR ALI....but it was the last piece and worst still its not a baju melayu but a baju kurung for a five year old kid!!. On Sunday we went to Ampang Point, Ampang Park and finally..last resort...the place that i was trying to avoid.. Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. We buka puasa in the car, in the parking area of Pertaman Complex. Had some chicken nuggets and a slice of wedges and off we go for the baju melayu hunt. I was so deperate and exhausted at that ponint of time. I told my other half.....i just don't care anymore if the color matches his baju.... i'm just tired....

Betul la kata orang..kalao dah jodoh takkan kemana. We found the colour that is quite similar to the one my other half will be wearing. Without thinking further..we took it. Haaaahhh lega....



Since this year, we celebrate Raya in Perlis, we had a family photo shoot 2 days before raya. Everyone berposing sakan and it really felt like it was already raya..hehehe. Thanks to my make-up artist. I thoht she did my eyes quite well.. I liked it...but to my surprise.. my darling nephew commented "ewww you looked like a ghost" hahahahahaa...



So thats it.... i have to go... i'll probably continue when time permits.
