Yet another belated entry - some pictures from Eidul Fitr 1429H.
Morning of 1st Raya was spent in Kampung Tunku, before we rushed back to Seremban right after Zohor (hubby was quite unhappy since I earlier promised to leave Kampung Tunku before Zohor - but relatives kept coming and there were all the omiyage's to be distributed and all...)
2nd day of Raya was spent visiting relatives all over Seremban and nearby areas - we went to 12 houses that day!
3rd day of Raya we travelled up north (from PJ) to Penang, to visit allahyarham Tok Ayah's youngest sister, Tok Chu Teh. (It also marked the first time I met up with Abang, Sarah and their newborn Uwais since returning from Tokyo). Ayah Jang made arrangement for his family, our family, and three other cousins to spend the night in one "rumah hinggap" in Penang that belongs to Mak Jang's uncle.
4th day of Raya we visited Ummi and my half brother Karim in Sungai Petani. Meera, my half-sister did not balik kampung this year. Then we went to visit my grand uncles, two of allahyarham Tok's younger brothers in Sungai Batu (not far from Gunung Bongsu, the setting of Azizi Abdullah's "Seorang Tua di Kaki Gunung"). Ayah gave us a treat that night- paying for 4 rooms in Hotel Continental, Penang - one each for Abang's and my family, one for Ayah, Mak & Adik and another for my MIL and Neni, the helper.
5th day of Raya, we jalan-jalan around Penang a bit in the morning before started our journey home. One of the longest journey home ever - left Penang at around 2.00 p.m. and arrived in Kampung Tunku at almost 11 p.m. with a one-hour stop in Ipoh. (It usually takes only 4 hours to drive from Penang to PJ) I advised Adik to stop for petrol in Ipoh rather than in any of the petrol stations at R&R because the queues were frighteningly long. Hubby later on drove all the way back to Seremban because MIL had promised to take care of one SIL's daughter the next day, and we finally reached Seremban at around 2.30 a.m.
Makan-makan after Solat Sunat Eid. Teh's family was the first to arrive
Teh's daughters - Izzah, Syahidah & Atiqah with the 'kung-fu panda' (as called by Huzaifah) that I received as a birthday present from hubby a few years ago.
With Iman (Nyah's grand daughter), Nyah, Teh and Ijan (Nyah's youngest son)
We forgot to take a proper Raya picture of the family. This was taken just before we left for Seremban. This year family's sedondon outfit were courtesy of Faizly a.k.a Sabah's Mama. Thank you Auntie - the picture is proof that we fulfilled our promise to wear your gift!
Another family picture - yes Sabah, you can save this and show to your Mama :-) I tried to find a matching tudung, but it was very difficult to find a tudung in this color, so I ended up wearing just black tudung... Ok lah, kan?
With my cousin Syahril and his daughter Iman, who is only two weeks older than Humaidi.
