Selamat Hari Raya everyone...


Hari raya morning ...the time where most families who celebrate would wake up early in the morning to get ready .. the men and sometimes the whole family goes to the mosque for Eid prayers.. but for people like me who has a small child stay at home to ensure the little one is ready .. can't very well bring a toddler to the mosque right..maybe when he is a lil bit older.

This year I am celebrating with my in-laws... Hubs and I had agreed to implement the rotation system when it comes to celebrations, more democratic and fair seeing that we have families in 2 different countries. Anyway..for some reason this year I have absolutely no mood to celebrate .. preparations is just so so.. and I managed to get a ready made baju at the last minute for a steal. ready made because I was too late in sending my materials and most tailors had declined.Trust me they take their raya very seriously over here. I managed to do two baju ways away from where we live but well.. the baju kurong is erm... ok enuff said.

This year is also the first in history..why because I have never been ill on the first day of raya.. I have been feeling urgh lately.. and my cough has worsen to make matters worst...I woke up with red eyes.. blood shot eyes.. gritty eyes... arghhhhhh! there goes my mood. I went about getting ready as usual got lilD ready and wait for my husband to take us to his grandmothers house as is the tradition.


We stayed as long as I am comfortably able to , after much merriment ..well sort of in my case ( I didnt eat as much as I would have thought I will..) I had to scrap plans to go visit my people (my side of the family) . We went back home at 11.30am ..sampai the house we anak-beranak slept until 2pm . That my friends..was how my first day of raya went.

That aside I am sure I am not too late in saying "Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir & Batin" to all love from Z, Hubz and Lil D
