Selamat Hari Raya / Happy Eid

Selamat Hari Raya

to our family and relatives in Kg Lantrom, Changlun and also our friends all over the world.

There are many ways of how people celebrate Hari Raya. As for us, this year Raya is slightly enjoyable than last year. Last year Raya, we celebrated our raya with Kebab and the Tauke kebab at Edgware Kebab Restaurant. Well this year, no more kebab because we try to maintain our healthy eating. Anyway, I did see a Moslem Somalian family was having their Raya feast, eating fried chickens, burger and kebab at Chicken Cottage today. That's a typical scenario around here on the first day raya, apart of going to mosque and visiting relatives.

We definitely wish the luxury of celebrating Raya in Kampung. Bi said this wish might come true next year! I hold to his promise. Anyway, let see our first day raya activities:-

1. After 12 midnight raya eve, our moment of 'kemaafan dan bersalaman'.
2. Then morning, Bi went to work with his 'nasi goreng'. He has no more holiday after our trip in Malaysia. As for me, I had an appointment with Maurice about our new benchmarking web project at 11am today. I just ate a banana and drinked a cup of coffee before going out.
3. At 12noon, I was so hungry and thus dropped by at Chicken Cottage to buy 2 pieces of chicken (come with fries) and a 1/4 lamb burger. I guess I was a bit depressed! heheheh
4. After having lunch, I was not in the mood to works. So, I watched Lord of The Ring: The Two Tower again (not sure how many times I have watched the movie).
5. At 5:30pm, Bi came back from his office. We started to prepare our Raya feast. Let see what we have just now:

• Steam King Prawn; Ayam Masak Merah; Bak Choy with Bammboo Shoot (with Belacan sauce); Butter Rice ;
• One papaya; Barley, Strawberry and Kiwi Juice ; Guylian and Beligian chocolates, and Scottish biscuit

Not too bad for us this year! To all our family, relatives and friends, we wish all of you the very best celebration of raya, and pleaseeeee eat wisely!

Ketupat, rendang, kuih beraneka; Makan kenyang sampai sendawa

Makan-makan tu ingat lar dunia; Takut sakit landed kat hospital pula

Pagi raya memang ceria; Budak-budak happy tak kering gusi

Kalau ada seredak kuih raya; Jgn pulak lupa pos ke sini
