Raya.. Raya.. Raya Kian Tiba.

Salam Ramadhan
A quiet monday. Everyone has left, leaving me alone. Being lonely, but not un-busy. In fact monday has always been the bziest day for mums.

Moonsighting will be carried out on Wednesday. So, more or less Eid will come in 4 days. This coming Eid will be our final one.. celebrating in UK. We will probably miss our Eid abroad when we back to Malaysia. Both situation are definitely different. As others, we usually try to give our utmost perparation for the kids. Their new dress, baju kurung, baju melayu, kasut raya and everything.. But here, contrarily, it is that we don't ever bother, but the wave is not here..! Mykids never ask for new baju raya and whatsoever. There is no stressful to do that as we got no pressure.! KAt sini mana ada promosi jualan raya, lagu2 raya berkumandang dr radio n telly.
With the help of the 'abscence', giving us opportunity to do our best in puasa, beribadah dan kerja2 harian yg biasa dilakukan. Sindrom nak balik kg tu lagi la tak wujud.

Nevertheless, our thoughts are always to the beloved family and kampong halaman. Bunga api serta mercun dan juadah tradisional yang terhidang dimeja di pagi Syawal. Itu semua sentiasa bermain2 di mata. That's is why, till today, I keep refrain my ears from listening to lagu raya..uhukss.

Approaching Eid, my mind aoutomatically set in to making raya cookies. So far, we've got 2 types raya cookies ( oklah tu, kat mesia lagi ler tak der kuih raya kat umah).. tp dah nak tinggal sikit dah.. Itu pon because the kids love it. Saja seronok2, and hopefully akan menjadi kenangan utk mereka di masa hdpn situasi menjelang raya. My juadah raya still unknown. Most probably the simple ones, like lemang + rendang. This year, I will try to serve nasi dagang on the table. Harap2 tak mndpt objection dr my other half. Since we'r from different culture (uhukk> lain2 negeri), saya agak susah juger kalu pagi raya asik makan ketupat, rendang ,lontong jer. Tak der nasik. Klu kat tmpt saya, at least ada nasi minyak, nasik dagang dan nasi himpit. Bru ler sedap perut bile dpt nasik. Betul tak :)) And biasalah, tentu akan kedgrn komen2 : ' aikkk hari raya pon makan nasik'..

Raya raya raya..

Selamat Hari Raya untuk semua .. dari saya sekeluarga di Sheffield, UK.

Till we meet again, see you soon..very2 soon.
