mY raYa 2012

I've been back to work for a week now (which I don't really have mood for it), but it is still the raya time. Raya is for a month, right?

 So just a short update of my raya back in Terengganu. This year, it was Terengganu turn. Next week, we will be going back to Taiping.

The theme was any shades of green this year

whEre Is mY mOOd..?

Finally after weeks of ignoring my blog, I decided to look at it before I go back to my kampung. I realized I have only one post during the month of August. My mood has gone some where else. Blame it on my mood swing and hormonal change. 

I am just going to post pictures to tell you about my days during Ramadhan.

Ibu gave birth to 6 kittens. How about that, adding to family members. Anyone wants to adopt kittens?

This is during our iftar at Ampang Puteri Specialist. My aunty celebrates iftar with family every year. 

Ate a lot of lamb at Vistana Hotel. Iftar with Edi's friends.

Mak always amazed me with her cooking. Look at the prawn, Edi cooked that dish. Udang Telur Masin. This was at Taiping. Went back to see parents-in-law since this year we are celebrating raya in Terengganu.

Iga bakar at Dapur Penyet with Yus. Couldn't eat much that night, felt so bloated.

iFtar At LamAn griLL..

As how I felt nowadays, I don't have much mood to update my blog as there isn't any interesting thing happened. It's Ramadhan, so everything is in a slow pace. 

But last Thursday, we went to have our iftar at Laman Grill, Shah Alam. Edi planned with his friends. The journey to Shah Alam was not stressful as I thought it would be. I mean, there were some parts that had traffic jam. But it was just for a little while. We reached the restaurant at 7.00pm and the friends from Shah Alam didn't even arrive yet at that time. 

The meal served was superb as always. We had buffet for the appetizer, dessert, and drinks. As for the main course we ordered one meal which we can choose from the Ramadhan menu. All of that only cost us rm50 each. Cheap!! 

We stayed there until about 9.00pm. We had to eat slowly and steadily. I felt so bloated that I thought I was going to throw up immediately after eating everything. But after appetizer, we went to perform our Maghrib prayer first. So there was a gap between the meals. 

Today, we will be having our iftar at Ampang Puteri Specialist with our relatives. Tomorrow, maybe we'll be having our iftar with Edi's siblings. Next week it will be at a hotel with Edi's colleagues. There's another place which Edi mentioned and I had forgotten, somewhere near KLCC. Why is my week suddenly so packed? Usually it's to the mosque for iftar. >.<

EarLy RamaDhan..

Today is the 3rd Ramadhan for the year 2012. How's your fasting so far? Ramadhan started on Saturday, so I was relaxed enough to face the day. I have been fasting at home for these past 3 days. Tomorrow I'll be going to school. I don't know how I will feel towards the evening. Hopefully nothing bad. I do hope I can fast for the whole month this year. But that depends on my condition right?

Since Edi and I have been staying at home, we cooked our own iftar. The first day, we made spaghetti bolognese. I was the one who felt like eating that dish. We went to Jaya Grocers, still thinking of what to cook that evening. Then I saw the tomato paste, immediately my mouth watered thinking of spaghetti. Edi did most of the cooking, I helped. So this is the result:

On Sunday, we went to One Utama to meet up with Edi's friend. We did some shopping for raya and we again bought some groceries. This time, we saw salmon. After thinking for a bit, we decided to go ahead with the salmon menu for the second day. Again, Edi did most of the cooking, I helped. Edi made Grilled Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce. The result:

Something I bought before going back from One Utama. The craze over Chatime.

Happy fasting everyone!

borOng kaiN LyCra...

Mak and Abah came from Taiping to shop for raya celebration. It seems that everyone wants to shop before the fasting month. Good idea, before the crowd gets bigger. Yus came from Ampang to join us. 

Edi took us to Seksyen 7, Shah Alam. A place you can call heaven to us ladies. In my opinion, it's like the second Jln Tar. But Jln Tar is far more crowded. I like to shop here better. Even though it was hot, we can always count on the air conditioner of every boutique we stopped by. 

Each everyone of us bought something, except for Edi. Still wants to buy his baju raya at Jusco, at the last minute. Mak bought a couple of tudungs and fabric to make baju kurung. Mak is a tailor, by the way. A few of my baju kurungs were tailored by Mak. Yus and Abah bought fabric as well for raya. Looks like this fasting month, Mak will be busy preparing all the baju raya for the family.  

As for me, I bought 5 kinds of lycra fabric material. I'm thinking of making it into dresses. I wasn't prepared to buy so many, but the discount that they offered.. Well, you can say I can't help myself. Edi supported me on theses fabric, so I was smiling all the way when choosing the pattern. Now all I have to think is whether to give it all to Mak, or give them to my friend. Or divide them between the two. Hmm...

Stay At hOme daY..

I am staying at home for one whole week. Because of that, I am lazying around at home. I watch tv, cook dinner, go online, read books etc.

I feel like blogging everyday, but there's nothing interesting to blog about. When I scrolled through my album in this PC, I found this picture. This post had no reason whatsoever. So here goes.

This is during one weekend when we went to watch Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Before we watched the movie, we had a light snack here at Hot & Roll. 

The movie was awesome. A twist from the history that we know. The effect was superb as well. I don't know whether the movie is still on or not at the cinemas, but it's worth it to go and watch!

JannAh's biRthdaY..

This happened a couple of weeks back. I haven't had the time to blog about it. No mood to be exact. 

Jannah is my friend's daughter, Hasleena. Hasleena and I went to Sek Men Puteri Wilayah together way back when we were in form 1. That was so long ago. We met up before once since we reconnected through facebook. 

Anyway, she invited me to attend her daughter's birthday party. I wasn't sure whether I should go or not. In the end, I went anyway because I haven't seen Hasleena for some time.

When Edi and I reached the house, all I could say was Wow!. The house is magnificent, 3-storeys and spacious. I wish I have that kind of house, but who is going to clean up all the 3 storeys. As if I have a big family now who can occupy the space. Oh well, a girl can dream.

Jannah dear
