Nak raya nak raya

E'eh boleh.  Hehehe.  Dah tua excited nak raya.  This time around, Aidilfitri is even more special for us due to the following reasons:

#1 Our wedding anniversary will be on the same day

#2 We have two new additions to the family, the twins Zehra Amani and Adrina Amani

First and foremost, I thank Allah for giving me the opportunity to be with these two.  Subhanallah, what a journey to see them finally look like a normal baby, chubby and all.  I hope the teary days will be gone forever, and the only tears I will have is from their (endless) tantrum hehehee.

Persiapan?  Apa lah sangat nak disiapkan yer tak?  Akakkk ni takde masa pon nak gi shopping baju raya sendiri tahun ni.  Beli baju anak jer berpasang- pasang hehehe.  Baju mak, well, repeat je la mana yang boleh.  Besides I have 2 pairs which have yet to be worn, so I am just going to wear that.  Lagipun, kita beraya di kampung, so semua persiapan mostly mak- mak yang di kampung lerrr siapkan hehehe.

Actually... Heheh I did try some kurungs....

Tapi I tak beli ponnn.  Sebab jeritan anak- anak di luar membatasi segalanye.  Ah well, I am a happy mother of 3, a new kurung can't beat that.  Just tungggguuuuu je la apa I pakai raya ni :-)

Owhh, and our theme is 'mustard'.  Susah benooo nak nampak kaler tu especially dalam kedai yang lampu dia semua kuning.  Gelappp jer I tengok.  Mustard, because my sister who is getting married this December wants the family to wear mustard.  So alang- alang, kan?

Kuih pon tak tempah banyak macam last year.  This year's concept - modesty yer tuan tuan.  I have a lot more I can do with my money than spending so much on the unnecessary.  Last year's kuih raya, satu kabinet terbuang... Baru buang 2 bulan yang lalu... Why?  Sebab konon- konon beli nak makan... Sekali mabuk daaaa time raya tu.  

This year akan raya kat husband's side.  I hope, and I mean it, that this time Hubby akan lebih peka dengan perasaan I.  What happened two years back, he didn't wake up early untuk sesi bermaaf- maafan between us... Something I never failed to do on a Raya morning, before, or after Salat Aidilfitri.  I was raised in chaotic, noisy environment, and I didn't have that, that year.  He didn't make things easier for me.  He also 'abandoned' me and Ayesha to go takbir from house to house until about 2-3 pm kot, and let's just say, something happened while he was away.  I got emotional, and we fought, on a Hari Raya.  I wouldn't want that to happen again.  I want a peaceful first raya morning, and just get it all over and done with, and be back with my chaotic side after that.  Trust me, I won't survive quietness, shyness.  Not for long, at least. 

I have actually done packing, for the kids.  Sebab dah tau, untuk anak- anak tentu itu ini akan tertinggal.  Bila dah ramai, hati dah excited nak balik kampung.  Hehehe.  Pakaian kitorang malam ni lah I kesah kan.  Masak- memasak raya juga akan saya settle kan di KL, sebab lebih selesa masak di dapur sendiri yang tak seberapa.  Kecik, tapi homely.

Owhhh, despite the excitement untuk berhari raya, I am actually sad, that:

#1 Ramadan is leaving us.  You shall be missed.

#2 This raya, ramai ahli keluarga yang sudah tiada... Mereka pasti diingati buat selama- lamanya. 

Nantikan entry gambar- gambar raya ye...

P/S:  Apesal this year tak nampak iklan raye kat tv ek... Ke sebab I dah takde masa mengadap tv?  Hahahaha.
