Sekejap je dah 19 hari kita berpuasa. Kalau ikutkan kalendar tinggal lebih kurang 10 hari je lagi nak raya. Honestly, I haven't start on anything! Personally, I prefer celebrating Ramadhan more than Syawal because I don't know, maybe after a good 5 years spent overseas, you kinda lose the Aidilfitri celebration feeling as the Eid celebrated overseas is much much different than here. Biasalah kan beraya di perantauan, semuanya simple.
This year marks the first Syawal that H and I gonna celebrate together, as husband and wife. Before ni adalah celebrate sama-sama tapi as boyfriend-girlfriend la uols. Belum boleh mintak ampun lagi. Hiks. OMG tahun ni dah nak kena salam mintak ampun. Matilah banyak berdosa dengan laki katanya. But knowing me, I am so gonna keep my cool and not gonna pull any Wan Maimunah or Azean Irdawaty act*.
*pelakon airmata, geddit geddit? hehe
Peninglah nak fikir pasal raya preparation. I seriously don't know where to start.
Nak tukar langsir? Langsir dekat rumah tu baru lagi kot.
Nak buat biskut/kuih raya? Tak perlu kot. Our makcik owns a bakery. Boleh pergi ambik dekat kedai dia je.
Beli baju raya? Dah tempah dengan Nawal. Tinggal nak jahit tangan je katanya. Shoutout to Nawal, jahit elok-elok. Tahun depan, insya Allah boleh tempah lagi. HAHA.
Unlike other couple, we don't have any raya theme colour whatsoever. H gonna wear whatever baju Melayu he has. And I only tempah 1 baju and trying my best to fit into my baju nikah again. Taktaula muat ke tak. Isk isk.
We're no fuss like that.
I don't know whether I should cook or not. Tentatively we are planning to celebrate the first day at H's atuk's place. Atuk is a damn good cook. He used to cook for kenduri jadi apalah sangat setakat masak rendang untuk raya tu kan. Among all of the dishes that I've cooked, I've never ever cook any rendang or kuah kacang. Sedih kan. Duduk overseas lama-lama masak rendang/kuah kacang pun tak pernah. To my defense, banyak sangat orang volunteer nak masak rendang/kuah kacang. Aku buat la benda lain macam roti jala ke, nasi minyak ke, nasi impit ke, daging masak hitam ke kan. Takkan semua orang nak makan rendang kot.
*cough* alasan *cough*
So how's your preparation?

moose, at least you masak jugak daging hitam etc etc. me? semua orang masakkan, tinggal pegi makan aje.
raya 1st and 2nd year - masuk lab, sekolah macam biasa.
3rd year- kebetulan japan public holiday. first time raya kat embassy. but tough luck, lepas tu ayik q nak masuk toilet aje. tanak pegi dah!
4th and 5th year- balik msia. semua baju raya ke kuih raya ke mama yang carikan.
no raya prep for me either. balik makan saja.
aku ada 2 baju raya. laki aku non ado. tapi skang aku takut x muat. nak try takut frust awal. hahaha...
Beb, u lupa lagi sorang. Fauziah Nawi (My bf said, u know it's hari raya bila tengok tv ada drama Fauziah Nawi meratap di tepi tangga. LOL)
I pun no baju baru so far (tak tau la kot2 beli last minit nanti. Hehe). Hari2 pun dok pakai baju kurung pi keja. Pakai ja apa ada. Probably recycle balik ja baju masa kakak i kahwin hari tu.
betulla moose, dok oversea raya cam cool jer kan..tapi takper, kang ko ada anak, im sure u will be excited..sbb nak tengok anak pakai baju melayu or kurung comel2..heheh
Oh, I miss celebrating raya overseas! Sini raya macam tak raya. Sebab? Raya semua orang nak duduk depan TV je :(
I remember we cooked for a good 30 people during raya time, skipped classes sebab nak raya. Malam before raya, ramai-ramai masak kuah lontong, rendang daging, laksa kelantan, kek, ayam masak merah...bestnyaaaaaaa
i must be missing something here.
Macam tak happening je raya kat sini, mcm tak de apa2 pon actually. G masjid, balik. Later, 6-7 of us makan kat rumah seorang akak ni. That's it. Nasibla ada akak tu, else, mesti lg sedih.
I blame it on the small number of malaysians here. This year, I'll be joining the indonesians, there're tons of them here. Hopefully it'd feel more like Eid this time.
xora:
preps nak sambut anak lagi best dari raya kot! hehehe.
dena:
tu lagi best! cos the place that i was studying tu so small, every one has to chip in contribution. that's why la kena masak untuk raya. kalau bandar tempat i belajar besar, i don't think i have to cook anything. but in a way ok la jugak. cos at least i know how to cook those raya dishes.
reena:
LOLOL!!! fauziah nawi tu lagi 1 pelakon airmata.
