Happenings since i last blogged..

Hehehe, have been VERY lazy and not in mood to blog or do anything :( But, so many things happened for the last 2 over months which i think i would like to put in writing. We celebrated wonderful birthdays of Faie, Simba, Mohsin and darling hubby/papa. Eventho we didn't do any grand celebrations but with cakes and gifts or angpows, everybody was happy. We only have another birthday to go, which is Milia's, before the year ends. Faie now has a few Barbie or other Barbie-look-alike dolls in her collection, Simba had some angpow monies in his bank account, Mohsin had a new Lego set and hubby got new perfume and shirt :) As for what cakes they had, SIL made yummylicious tiramisu for Faie, sinfully delicious cheesecake with powerpuff girls sugar poster for Simba and wonderful banana pudding for Mohsin. As for hubby, i bought him a simple blueberry cake but we enjoyed it nevertheless.

After all the birthdays, came Ramadhan and Raya. Eventho i think i shouldn't be complaining much about anything [and be grateful with all i've been getting], overall i didn't have a good Ramadhan. I had lotsa orders for the cookies i advertised after i gave out a lot of samples but i didn't get to deliver all. The kakak who made those cookies didn't have enough helpers to make the cookies ordered. At one time, she had no any helper at all :( She's lucky to get some help from some frens and managed to make some and delivered some eventho not all. I had to cancel about 50 to 60 pax of my orders too. But for me, it's better to get something rather than nothing.. alhamdulillah.

During Ramadhan also, hubby had to follow his mom to China for 6 days. MIL wanted to experience fasting with his 2 sons there and later they came back for Raya celebration together. MIL being not that well and having to transit a few times along the way may have lack of confidence to go alone, hence had to drag C along. Well, good for hubby coz he really enjoyed his stay there. In his exact words, "...it'll be good if we can go and live there.." :) He loves the place [he described it as LOVELY] and the politeness of the people there.

In the absence of C, to make things worse, my parents went for their umrah trip for about 2 weeks. Just like MIL who wants to experience fasting in China, my parents also want to experience doing their ibadah and fasting in holy lands during Ramadhan. I was so sad and turned moody when my parents didn't call. They finally called when they're in Mecca. Alhamdulillah everything went well for them until they arrived back in KL one day before Eid. A few hours after they reached home, and gathered things they bought for the relatives in Mecca, dad drove back to Kuala Kangsar to spend the last day of break fasting with my mom's sibblings.

Our first day of Raya was actually spent on the road and in KK. C had earlier prepared chicken chop for our family's Raya dish. After C came back from Raya prayers and we have eaten our chcicken chop [which was definitely YUMMY :D ], we went over to MIL's house. We had our "bermaafan" session with C's mom, sis and 2 brothers. At noon, we started our journey to KK while C's mom and sibblings went to Kg Pandan to join the rest of his mom's sibblings and their children for their Raya tour. I always long for this Raya tour bcoz we'll go in at least 6 cars to visit one family after another in Kg Baru. We usually start with Wak Ruby's house and will go to Wak Miah's followed by Wak Asip's, Nyai Mok's and the last one will be Nyai Busu's before we proceed to Bukit Indah. But we didn't get to join the entourage last year and this year. [Kalau panjang umur, next year and year after next mesti ikut beraya with them coz all the aunties, uncles and cousin mousin coz memang meriah la kan :) I mentioned 2 years bcoz next year the married cousin mousin will celebrate first few days of Raya with their inlaws so only the year after next they'll celebrate first few days of Raya with their parents]
