Raya gathering

 Reached home at 9 a m. yesterday. My husband, my son and I are still feeling tired. Last Tuesday, my husband and I helped my mother cooking for the Eid Fitri . Not only both of us , my sister, my brother in law, my niece and my mother's neighbour were also there. After the takbir Raya at my mother's house, we went home packing our things to bring to Kelantan. 

The next morning, after praying Eid Fitri, we went home first. We changed our car and went to my mother's house to celebrate Hari Raya with her. Then we started our journey to Kelantan around 11 something a.m. It was a smooth journey. We prayed jamak takhir at a mosque in Terengganu and had our lunch there.  Thank you emak and kak chik for the yummy rendang and nasi impit. At 7.30 p.m. my husband received a call from his younger brother to have dinner at his house. Nasi Arab, Alhamdulillah. Thank youuuuuu.

That night, using my Noxxa, I boiled a few packets of nasi himpit rice for tomorrow. I also took out Ma's pretty food containers from the cabinet and washed them . My husband had already bought Twister drinks , plastic bowls, cups and spoons at our place. No need to do the washing or making  drinks tomorrow. Save our energy. Then I cleaned up a bit the kitchen before sleeping.

Early morning (second day of hari raya), we started cooking for our Soto . Of course, my husband and my son had to help me. Every thing we brought from home including the two chickens, the minced chicken for pegedil, potatoes, onion leaves, fried onions, etc. just in case if the shops here were closed ( yup, they were closed ).

When my husband's younger sister and brothers' family came, they also helped us in the kitchen as we had guests already. Good business hahaha.  It was a bit chaotic in the kitchen but we managed it well. Every body enjoyed their meals. Alhamdulillah. Settled everything ,then it's our turn to visit  uncle's , aunty's  and younger brother's house. Oh ya, finished our Soto, that night when our aunty's family came , my husband served them his fried noodles. That was good, really good. Every body praised him and I was so proud. Tak silap pilih suami le. 

Third day of hari raya, our big family met again at my sister in law's house. Sharing lots of never ending stories, taking pictures then it's time for all of us to say goodbye. I hugged the ladies. I don't know when I will meet all of them again. But one thing for sure, that won't  be our last meeting. Insya-Allah.
