the theme is...

silver

YES! The theme this year is silver..or milenium according to my cousin. There's a reason for the choice of color. Nevertheless, we are very happy with our baju raya. Except for hubby, he said kain baju melayu dia lembut sgt and its free. Huhuhuhu! And worst, he paid for yours truly baju raya. *ngeee*

My cerita raya is very simple. I celebrated first raya here in KL. We didn't cook much, just rendang daging, fettucine carbonara and my cup cakes. Sedih ke? Not really, ok la..makan 5 orang je. Then we went to my mum's cousin's house. She made nasi arab (mcm nasi bukhari, dimasak dgn kambing..nyum!!) and few kueh raya. Spent there like 3hours or so with gossiping, eating, laughing, eating, did I just mention eating twice? Hmm...memang makan je kojenye hari raya nih!

Then around 4pm, my little nuclear family headed to Muar, hubby's kampung. Around 4.30pm we stopped at hentian rehat Nilai to dose off..hubby dh mengantuk sgt. Then MIL dah call tanye mana cucu kesayangan dia, so continue our journey and reached Muar around 6.30pm.

One thing interesting beraya di Muar is...pelita. Almost every house mesti ada pelita..or at least lampu lip lap lip lap. Like my BIL said, minyak tanah lg mahal dr elektrik. Hehe..

Second day is marhaban day. Marhaban is where you go from one house to another house in groups, you do selawat nabi, baca doa and bersalaman raya. Usually they do it in Jawa (except for selawat & doa). That's why I didn't go. Mak tak faham! Hehehe..But I send Dania as wakil. She followed her nenek to few houses. She likes it.........................................sebab ada makanan. Hahahahha!!! Malam is marhaban lelaki. Hubby pun tak pegi sbb malas. Teruk betul.

We came back to KL on Saturday. Jalan jam la jugak but it was quite ok compared to those from Kelantan. Some I heard their usual 8hours journey became 14hours. Fuhhhhh!!!

Now....its open houses time. Berkilo2 la naik badan camni. Apa nak buat, asal hati senang...kan? :P
