BACKDATED: SYAWAL BIRU 2011

.

Ekoran dari entry Menjelang Raya 2011, kini, I would like to continue the story with what had happened on the 1st Syawal itself.

The first thing in the morning, macam biasa, berebut nak iron baju, sampin, tudung, semualah, dengan my sisters. Yang lelaki pulak main pass to the ladies merayu-rayu tolong gosokkan baju diorang. Haip! Biasa dia taw. (Sambil tu my mom memberi tazkirah pagi atau dengan kata lainnya, berleter sebab dia dah pesan suh buat semua tu malam sebelumnya :P)

Siapa siap dulu boleh la bergambar dengan Opah.

After breakfast, everybody in the house except my Opah, Oman and I bersiap-siap pulak to go to the mosque for Solat Sunat Eid Al-Fitri.

Siapa bersama abah?
1.Adik 2.Mama 3.Kak Lang
4.Encik Suami 5.Bangah 6.Bang Chik

Mana I?

I telah disingkirkan dari kumpulan mengambil gambar bersama abah.

Sebab i belum mandi. :P
Kasihan..

Tak baik pagi-pagi raya dibuli sebegitu.

Walaubagaimana pun, i tetap berlakon-lakon seperti hendak ke masjid demi hendak mengambil gambar dengan abah. :)

Ok per, sama je muka segar macam orang dah mandi.

Not so long after they left to the mosque, Oman woke up with a smile on his face. I wished him, "Selamat Hari Raya, Oman" and he replied, "Oman lapar". Very nice.

We were then quickly got ourselves ready before those who went for prayer arrived home. Nanti kene marah. :)

Do you know that Oman has his own naming for Hari Raya dishes such ketupat and nasi impit?

Lemang: Kuih Circle
Ketupat Palas: Kuih Triangle
Nasi Impit: Kuih Square & Kuih Rectangle

Kerlass, bukan? :)

Oman menikmati juadah di pagi Raya.
Agar-agar coklat and susu tu I buat. :p

Telur adalah juadah wajib Oman.

Acara bermaafan adalah acara yang paling dinanti-nanti. As for my family, it was performed after everyone came back from Eid Al-fitri prayer.

Not sure what was it that tickling mak uda so much when Armi apologized to my mom :)

Mama, K.Yung nak mohon....
i couldn't say a word after that. Tetiba sebak. Eheh.

Ini Lan. My cousin.
See my mom? Selamba je minta duit raya dekat anak sedara. :p

See my mom again?
kenapa dia yang duduk my abah yang berdiri?
Haha.

and mak Uda and Pak Uda always a sweet couple.

Selesai memohon maaf kategori ibu bapa, kategori anak-anak yang sudah berkahwin pula mengambil tempat.

Yang baju dark olive green tu anak Mak Uda & Pak Uda.
We let them apologized each other first.

Kemudian...

Kidd, Bi nak mohon.....
Pun i couldn't say a word after that sebab x feel.
Tgkla expression my hubby.
=D

Kategori terakhir bagi upacara ini, ialah kategori anak kepada anak-anak yang telah berkahwin.

Oman memang susah sungguh nak suruh shake hand.
Kalau fist bump nak pulak!! Haiya! :)

Well, selesai acara kemuncak, as usual, photo family session.

It took quite a lot of shots to get a perfect one for the three of us. Oman bergerak sana-bergerak sini. Pulak tu, nobody could use his dadda's camera or momma's phone to snap the photo. Abih tu cenggana?? :)

My brother who took all these shots terpaksa snap selaju yang mungkin.
Maka banyakla gambar candid.

Of all the shots, the only photo that three of us looking at camera and smiling;

Awww! Look at Oman smile!! :)

If last year we were in White and Pink, this year we looked Blue.

I am actually still waiting the official family photo from Encik Suami.. grrr.. but lemme share first those that captured with my G11 :)

Tengah cari setting terbaek.

Oman with Mama Lang and Mama Cu.

Oman with Abah Ngah, Dadda and Abah Chik

Nanti dah dapat full family Raya photo (ahem ahem dekat Encik suami), i share k. :)

Before we went back to Shah Alam after Asr that day, we managed to visit nearby friends and relatives house.

Owh I wished i could stay longer in Sitiawan to celebrates Syawal, but we had to go back home packing for the next day trip to Hong Kong which i'm gonna share the story with you the in the next entry.

Stay tune!!! =D

Teman sempoi jerr

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!!

Jumpa lagi k =)

SYAWAL WHITE AND PINK

Salam Syawal, semua!!!

Aaaaa... it's been more than 2 weeks i haven't write anything here. Past days, i was so occupied with works and of course having a son who's now super duper active, tengah lasak gilerrr.. hehehe.. i dun have much time for this blog. But currently, i'm in Tokyo, alone at night.. better write something kan? :)

This year, our Syawal preparation could be considered last minute jugak. Until the last weekend of Ramadhan, we still bought nothing for ourselves. Me and hubby were totally not aggressive looking for Baju Raya. Encik Oman tu lagi la kan, kecik lagi, kalau bagi dia pakai pampers je pun dia suka. Haha.

Tapi, sapala taknak tengok anak tersayang ada baju and kasut raya baru ye dak? Dahla budak-budak nyer apparels cute x hengat!

The first thing we bought for him was a pair of shoe. We were haunting it at almost all kid's boutiques in One Utama like GAP Kids, Mothercare, Pumpkin Patch, Oshkosh, GUESS Kids.. and found few in ZARA Kids that OMG, x tahan ok nak beli!! Malangnya, satu pun Oman x berkenan. Until we went to this boutique that i never know they do have shoes for Kids too, it's CONVERSE - ALL STAR!. When i saw that shoe i terus tarik my hubby and he loves it too. Yang bestnya, when we showed it to Oman, dia terus nak pakai that shoe. Well, that Little Man is now memilih hokey! he loves to choose either clothes or shoes to be worn on his own tau! Checked and Paid! Phew :)

As for Baju Raya, i told my hubby to just tried our luck in SACC Mall Shah Alam. So we went there and Alhamdulillah, within a day, baju tiga-tiga anak beranak settle! Oman got his 2 pairs of Baju Melayu and sampin at Omar Ali (recommended sangat nak beli baju Melayu budak kat sini cause kain dia bagus and kemas jahitannya at RM60 each), while me and hubby fell again for Qamilla design. Dah 3 tahun Syawal berturut-turut ok we sangkut ngan Qamilla nih.. saspek sungguh! :P

It's HIS turn so we celebrated our 1st Syawal at Bentong, Pahang, Kampung my hubby's abah. Unlike previous years, Syawal this year, we're missing Irma in the picture. She went back to his hubby's hometown in Kelantan. Until all of the family members are completed, then barulah we'll take official Raya family photo. Insya Allah.

On the second Syawal, we went back to my hometown in Sitiawan, Perak. Walaupun balik hari, it's totally worth it cause my parents in law and Amri pun ikut balik sana sekali. How sweet when both families celebrating lebaran together tambahan dengan adanya Encik Little Man tu. My mom of course was the happiest one and she prepared superbly delicious menus for that day. Daging masak lemakla, sambal udangla, laksa pun ada. Kak Lang dengan adikku pun semangat di dapur. Rajin hangpa no. X lupa mak uda yang buat laksa mee untuk anak sedara kesayangan dia ni. yummy!! Nak tau, chomel tau bila tengok my dua-dua abah and mama pot pet pot pet citer macam-macam sambil makan. :)

Third Syawal, me and hubby went back to our home in Shah Alam. Hubby helped me to pack for Tokyo. Mode masa ni, sentimental. Sedih wo nak tinggal hubby and son tau.. Raya lak tu!! Oman was with his nanny stayed in Sungai Long. If this Little Man followed us, alamat x mengemaslah i. He would packed out whatever things i had packed in.

Sebut pasa Oman, owh i miss him so much!! I remember, i did pep talking to him everynight for few days before my departure that i'd be leaving him, i told him i'm working in Tokyo for a while, and he must stay good and behave well with dadda, nanny, gpapa and everyone during my absence. Know what he replied to me??? "TANOK!!!!"... .. xsure i nak nangis ke nak gelak taw :)

Upssss... why white and pink?? Enjoy some photos from my low profile camera k. Sebab gambar from canggih punya camera xde pun lagi. :)
