The Couplehood Journey of a Distort Soul....

Aidil Adha 2011 Part 2...

We went for our Aidil Adha prayers at Masjid Pokok Assam with my mom this morning; and Arief went as well. I almost wore my Pirates Cap to the mosque as I forgotten to bring back my songkok; luckilly I notice upon exiting our car. We went back to Pokok Assam for breakfast before driving to Sri Kota for Eliza's family lunch gatherings. Arief had fun playing with all his cousins and we went back to Pokok Assam late in the evening. My mom invited Eliza's family for dinner; Laksa and nasi minyak with ayam + daging. I was so full from a full lunch & dinner that I went to sleep immediately :-)

Aidil Adha 2011 Part 1....

We started our journey back to Taiping at 8.30am; hoping for a smooth journey and Alhamdulillah we arrived safely at Pokok Assam by 12.30pm. We encounter minor crawl at Slim River and approaching Simpang Pulai. We were starving as we only had Oat Cookies and Apple Crisp for breakfast; and the lunch prepared by my mom was superb (pajeri terung + sambal tumis tauhu + ikan kayu goreng). We took my mom to an electrical appliance shop to purchase Plasma TV 43" as I upgraded my mom's Astro to Beyond recently. And we also dropped by at the nearby pet shop as Arief bought his new pets; two ikan laga. He has been asking for a pet since we have two kittens born in our shoe rack after we came back from Australia :-)

Hari Raya Haji 2010...

We celebrated Hari Raya Haji in Shah Alam as it was just a one day public holiday. I went for my Aidil Adha at our nearby mosque before we went to my sister's house for some festive food. Btw we bought Lemang yesterday night at Seksyen 7 Shah Alam. My sister prepared nasi daging as the main dish with the usual ayam rendang for lemang. Arief was happy that he get to play with his cousins @ Ilyas + Irfan. My uncle from Taiping came at around noon and we stayed there until 2pm before we drove back home as we need to do some heavy cleaning at home @ renovation is 95% complete. It was indeed a tiring affair as we were exhausted from the massive cleaning. We just bought Dominos for our dinner :-)

Hari Raya Aidil Adha 2009 Part 2...

I went with my mom and my cousin @ Abg Long family for an early morning breakfast at Bismillah Restoran, the usual Roti Canai & Teh Tarik. Today our family will be having our Aqiqah and we will be preparing the meals for this evening; bihun sup tulang, kari daging, rendang daging and satay daging. Almost all of the clan is back in Pokok Assam. I had to bring Eliza to the clinic in the morning as her eye infection has gotten worse. Everybody has their chores to do in preparing the meals; and as usual I'm not that keen to the cutting duties; just sticking to the usual "kacau sup" duties and re-arranging the table and chairs. The kenduri is scheduled to start after Asar but it was raining quite heavily; pity those people who need to take their food in the rain. Lucky it was raining for only half an hour and we managed to enjoy the kenduri. Food was delicious; especially the satay daging. The kenduri ended at 6.30pm but clearing up everything was tiring. It was an excellent kenduri with delicious food :-)

 

Hari Raya Aidil Adha 2009 Part 1...

We went back to Taiping on the morning of Aidil Adha; it was a great decision as it was jam packed the night before. Eliza's brother went back at 10pm and only arrived in Taiping by 4am. BTW I was on emergency leave on Thursday as Arief was suffering from an eye infection. After the morning prayers, we went to my sister house for breakfast but Eliza is suffering from the eye infection; and she's wearing her shades the whole day. To our surprise, even Abg D & Ilyas is suffering from the eye infection. We started our journey at 11.30am with Aiman. It was generally smooth until I received a text message from my cousin Malis saying that it is a massive traffic jam after Bukit Tagar. I then decided to turn back and head towards Bukit Beruntung and use the road heading to Tanjung Malim (thanks to Google Maps on my BB I managed to find the way). We enter the highway there and exited again at Trolak due to another traffic jam and re-enter at Slim River. After that it was smooth driving to Taiping. We arrived at Pokok Assam by 3.30pm and we went straight for lunch at my grandmother's house. Well my mom did prepared laksa at our house :-)
