Selamat Hari Raya 2008!

My day started with a loud crash on the eve of Eid... Apparently Umar and Dalya broke some glass... I guess its never a celebration unless there are some glass broken! Adam and Umar came over to give us a hand in exchange for some Wii time...


They helped with the chicken for the soto ayam and pounded the potatoes for the begedil... On top of that... they helped washed our cars! hahahaha... Thanks boys! *after a long day of fasting and a hard day of work... we all just wanted to play with water and kill the time before breaking fast!*

Eid celebrations started the moment we break fast... Adam and I sneaked out for a quick purchase of Wii games and some Big Apple Doughnuts for break fast before that... Umar was left behind for breaking glass... After breaking fast... we waited for Niki and Nikk to play fireworks!


The following morning was Hari Raya! Yeay!!! Niki and Nikk helped fill up cookie jars and arrange the cakes on the tray before our first meal... *how come parents like to throw their kids and I end up having to watch? blehhh... Thank God for the Wii* Uncle Yem and Aunty Ain came over and we had our first meal together...


Then the first wave came... Family members and family friends young and old filled their tummies with mummy's yummy soto ayam and Aunty Ain's lontong with sambal sotong and beef rendang as they filled the house with laughter and joy...

Here's our recent family photo... too bad not everyone is here... maybe one day we all can finally take a real group family photo yah?


Here's another with our extended family...


At around 3pm... we finally get to rest our feet... Asrar came and brought his Sony Alpha 300... *which I managed to pry out of him and use it for the rest of the week... yeay! kekekeek* And then came the Second Wave!


Cubinet Colleagues and Ex Assuntarians!!! The house was havoc! *Uncle Yem went like... I don't know any of you... kekekek* When mummy told my colleagues to B.Y.O... they did just that! Waaaaaahahahahahaha! It's just too bad that they didn't stay on till late... they did stay for some Wii action though! LOL!

Wii Session!

Cubinet Photo Session!
*too bad Wayne and Nick left already...*

Ex-Assuntarians!

The long day ended with our KickFit trainers - Dinesh and David, and Fazreen, Azrina and Ucop arriving as our last guests of this year's Hari Raya Open house... Ernie and Ivan were the only ones left *and you all planned to stay till 6am... yeah right!*




The lights finally went off at 2.30am...


Wishing you all a happy Hari Raya and Holidays! Thanks for coming and making it a memorable one! Monday back to work!
