Why Selamat Hari Raya

Many were wondering, why am I wishing Selamat Hari Raya in the last 2 entries. Actually, to cut the story short, I just got the time to celebrate my second Raya after alhamdulilah, managed to complete puasa 6. It was supposed to last Tuesday but did not get the time to cook for that. So, Sunday was a better choice to celebrate this though the Raya has ended.
I cooked nasi impit, rendang ayam and sambal kacang. I wanted to add kuah lontong but my better half told me, "nanti, banyak2 nie sapa nak makan?". Yup, there's only 5 of us so too much food may cause a wastage. Even this much dish that I cooked lasted till dinner.
I've always tried to fast during Syawal month, both for puasa ganti and puasa 6. I know myself. If I start to procrastinate on the puasa ganti, it will drag till the next Syawal. That time baru ler terhegeh2 nak replace the puasa.
Anyway, it was a good small Raya celebration with the cuties though as you can see, the monyok faces while having the meals. This was because I yelled at them for keep on fighting in front of the rezeki. And they were fighting for a specific chair at the dining hall when there's enough chair for everyone. Then, I start to give a long lecture about how they should appreciate and take care of each other. Also, they only have to come down and eat while I was the one doing the cooking and yet they were the one complaining. I was going on and on and on till my better half told me in a very very nice soothing voice, "I think they got your point".
As a mother, it's depressing to see your children fight in front of you. I keep on wondering what will happen when I'm gone, seen to many "drama swasta" on sibbling rivalry and even live versions and that really freak me out.
Chewah, entry that's supposed to be a ceria entry dah jadik entry emo pulak. Anyway, after that, everything went back to normal and we really enjoyed the meal.
And less than an hour, another fight broke....Penatlah Mama macam nie....

Looking forward to Hari Raya

I am already now in Batu Pahat. My better half has asked me to cook rendang and kuah kacang for him. I thought he wouldn't want to since his mother will be cooking the raya delicacies but he insists he still wants my cooking. I take that as a compliment.

Sorry, didn't get to update for the past couple of days, just when I thought nearing Raya, work will start to slow down, again I was wrong, I had to even cancel my leave yesterday to finish up the work.

Anyway, to all Selamat Hari Raya and Maaf Zahir Batin. Hope everyone will have a joyous celebration. Safe travels!
