BACKDATED: MENJELANG SYAWAL 2011

.

This is a backdated story no. 1 about our Syawal celebration this year.

Oman, Hubby and I went back to my hometown, Sitiawan, 3 days before Hari Raya. Just like the years before, it's a tradition that during these few days approaching Syawal, all of us adik-beradik mana yang dapat balik awal, akan bergotong royong meniptopkan (kata akar: tip-top. :p) rumah agar menjadi bersih, licin dan tampak lebih anggun di hari raya.


Berkaliber sungguh I sebagai Kak Yung, bukan?. =D

When we reached Sitiawan, it's just about Buka Puasa time. All members in the family, complete, were already there waiting for us.. eh!! actually waiting for Oman. Lerrr.

The next day, which was Sunday, tektiknya adalah mengemas secara ala kadar, because we knew that Raya would not be on the next day. Haha! But the lady boss in the house, my mom, mana boleh duduk diam kan. She prepared a very long list of groceries and passed it to the boys. Santan, daging, cili api, ayam, ikan, Syrup, many more... The boys pun berdesup ke pasar while the girls' to housekeep the rooms and kitchen side.

Oman and Dadda were actually on the girls team. :P Masa ni lah my hubby nak collect points from his mother in law, so he volunteered to rub the drain. I yang dengar ni berbunga-bunga sungguh hati. Oh my hero!!

Alih-alih, when i checked them out there, i saw this;

Aik??? Ni sapa yang collect points ni?
Hubby told me that Oman insisted to do it so he x sampai hati nak kecewakan his son.
Boleh? =D

By noon, every body in the house dah hampir pancit, especially the boys..

Yang baju biru tula Abah Chik Oman. Dia yang paling rajin...tido :p

My husband and My Kak Lang had to go back to work the next day, so by 3pm they had to leave. Both of them would return back to Sitiawan after working on Monday. Gigih Bukan? Since sorang balik KL and sorang lagi balik Penang, sebagai bekalan berbuka puasa di dalam kereta if let say they're stranded on the road due to traffic jam, I prepared for them Kuih Cuk Keria. I think almost everyone in this house loves this kuih yang namanya lebih famous dengan Kuih Gelang.

It was really an entertaining kuih gelang making process since i was helped by someone yang sangat-sangat rajin;

Yer Betol!! Encik Oman namanya.

5 biji kuih gelang hasil tangan Oman. Tehehehehe.

Siap!

Keesokan harinya, I tersedar dari tidur when i heard bunyi orang potong rumput keliling rumah. Ish Ish.. dah pukul 7 pagi rupanya!! I quickly performed my prayer and then meninjau-ninjau kawasan rumah.


My two brothers were cleaning the compound of the house and my mom pulak was talking to his pokok serai. "Dah nasib kamu pokok seghai. Nak aghi ghaye ni, aku potongler kamu banyok-banyok ye dok?. Nanti aku tanamler lagik kamu". I just laughed at her.

Eh wait, who's that lady in an Orange t-shirt??

Me. Inilah masanya korang nak gelak pon =D
My mom cakap i exactly looked like a woman in confinement.
Thanks mama. I like your honesty. T_T

Setelah tersentap dengan kritikan my mom itu. I quickly took my bath and ready to help her to cook rendangs, kuah kacang, and nasi impit.

While the ladies were busy with ketung-ketang (bunyi periuk) in the kitchen, the boys were very occupied in the living and dining hall.


Oman enjoyed the company so much!!.
Asyik ikut je jer ape yang abah Chik dia buat.
:)

I think around 2 pm like that, we ladies were almost done. Rendang daging and ayam? Checked. Nasi Impit? Checked. Kuah Kacang? Checked. For the first time, i made rendang ayam 90%-ly myself. The other 10% i gave to my mom for being there to confirm what i did step by steps were correct. Improvement, Nuurill. :)

Rendang pertama ku :)

It's a little bit emotional situation that afternoon when my brother's wife, had to say good bye as she needed to report her duty that night in Kuala Lumpur. We packed her the rendangs, ketupat, and all so that she wouldn't feel lonely and sad for celebrating 1st Syawal at work. Takpe, dah tanggungjawab kerja kan. Nak buat cemana. Insya Allah, tahun-tahun depan we celebrate Syawal sama-sama k. Amin

That night after out last berbuka for year 2011, we had the fireworks session and it's the second for Oman to experience it. Oman was takut sangat-sangat on the first time, which was the night before.. tapi.. malam tu tidak lagi;


=D

That was sedikit sebanyak coretan malam raya kami for this year. Nanti i sambung lagi k!!
