Aidilfitri 2013 Pt. 2

I can't believe I am back to the office already. It takes time for me to adjust after enjoying a blast of Aidilfitri although only  for the compulsory 4 days of holiday. How is this Raya different from my previous or maybe future ones? First I splurged on my Raya outfits. Because at the first year of marriage, I had none, the second, I had only two pairs. And for this year, I decided to spoil myself in this department. Plus, the ready-made ones are too pretty to resist. I made only one pair and the other 28 rest, I bought them, mostly online. The size fits and none of them is a wrong purchase. 

Second, Ayra walked. I mentioned happily in my previous entry , little that I know it would become a handful for me to handle! Especially when I am alone preparing the dish, house, everything, for my husband, not enough for having to work on Raya eve and Raya morning, he had to resume duty on the 3rd day of Raya.

Nevertheless, we braved ourselves to host a mini open house mainly for family and close friends not once but twice. With Ayra touring around the house with things in her hands, B was not present, it could pass completing a 15km marathon. But on the other hand, I managed. Pat on the back. I made Laksa Sarawak on the 2nd day, and yesterday, I made two cakes, plus some savoury dishes, including ayam percik, butter prawns, nasi minyak, ayam lemon.. My heart  skipped two beats when I was cooking at the kitchen, Ayra suddenly showed up while holding my vase up high!!! 

After, that, business resumes as usual. Oh ya not to mention we visited my bro in law's new homestay , kira gracing his homestay laa for this Raya. So, for anyone who's looking for a clean, comfortable, affordable, accessible and no frills homestay, don't be shy to search Homestay Ketiau on FB. aight?

Aidilfitri 2013

The office could pass an abandoned building. Everyone is heading way back to their respective home. I am still here, looking after the office, finally had the time to hit the keyboard for blogging! I apologize to all of my blog readers, for being a lousy blogger for this year.I will stick to the lame excuse, busy. I remember the good old days when I update my blog twice everyday & get slurs of how am I so free and takde keje. Now, I get comments of how dusty my blog is. But whatever it is, my blog will always be my soulmate. And I think I cheat my blog to a new guy in town, instagram! Feel free to follow me @aidathepinkgoddess.

Oh well, where do I start...ok my last entry was about my Anniversary. The we embraced the coming of Ramadhan.. for this Raya, I am not coming back to my hometown, when Dad sent me the pic of our house back in Kuching after a make over for so many years, it hits me that I am not coming back, way back home, my role will be the one who iron the whole pack's baju raya , and on the eve I will watch over the ketupats and early morning, Mom will monitor us cutting the cakes according to her specs. It's dua jari, (two fingers) I remember. Hehe.

And the highlight of this Raya is.... Ayra has finally taken her first steps!! It concerns me as mother that she acquires this skill later than her friends of the same batch (of course I hide the worries)! Rupanya nak berjalan especially for Raya, to rock that baju kurung, because B always tell me, all this fancy outfits nice to be worn if only Ayra can walk. hehehe

For our preparation, this year, besides celebrating at my MIL's crib, we will attempt to celebrate at our own house. Done with the chinas, and utensils, cookies. Looks like I have to only bake cakes and cook the savoury (main dish). But we'll see the feasibility, still subject to time. he

So, guys, thats about it, hope this can be a patronizing post, I promise I will try to update more frequently,
