Raya Celebration

I remember those days where I could visit more than 8 houses in a day!
Just imagine if my body could talk, it would wail "ENOUGH SHARON!!".
Anyways, this year Hari Raya we only managed to visit 4 houses (supposed to be 5 but somebody didn't read the sms correctly).
First day of Raya, it was scorching hot.
So I did my laundry happily.
Until I overhauled all the bedsheets and blankets.
I just love the smell of fresh laundry.
Anyways, I cooked for lunch and kids had their naps.
Then, off we went to Saharom's house.
Every year, Saharom's house is the first house I visit since his open house is on the first day of Raya.
This has been a routine for more than 10 years now.
Saharom and I have been good friends since college.
But sorry I didn't get to take a picture of him.
I grabbed one from his FaceBook.

This picture is taken in one of his fishing trips.

We met Nelly (my aunt), Hanafiah & wife, Johafizul, Mary & little Danish.
I managed to capture little Danish in his baju Melayu.

On the second day of Hari Raya, we went to hubby's cousin's (Bonnie) house at Taman Keramat.
We were greeted by Bonnie's wife, Hafsah.
We came in a big group.
Our family, PIL, Ben & Imelda, our three nieces and Bonnie's mum.
Hafsah's dad was also there.


Sean insisted me to take picture of him with the photograph of Papa Bonnie with Ultraman (behind)

Suasana meriah

Candid!

Hubby devoured the Soto Daging whilst Imelda taking picture of Weeveca

We had lots of fun eating, chatting and taking pictures.
Hafsah prepared Soto Daging that day.
Habis bah sup dia durang Sean plus daddy dia juga.
I love the decor in Bonnie's house.
One thing caught my eyes, the collection of bags (Hafsah's) sitting neatly in a glass cabinet.

The said cabinet which limited edition of branded bags

On the fourth day of Hari Raya, we went to Andrew & June Liew's house.
We met Osmand & Lolly, Stanley with Rosalia and little Ryan, Choi, Andrew's mum, Andrew's siblings and relatives.
We came after attending my cousin's wedding reception.
Exhausted especially when you have 3 kids running around in different directions!


Sean seated quietly on Uncle Osmand's lap. Sampai panas buntut si Sean control good boy.
Sean is fear of Uncle Osmand. Tulah good boy.

I miss Hari Raya... I used to visit a Malay friend of mine every year for as long as I could remember. Of course that was before I moved here (US). Obo Sharon, you've got such beautiful kids. Anyways, glad you guys had a wonderful Hari Raya...visiting, eating and all...
