The past weekend was an eventful weekend as we celebrated Eid on Saturday. On Friday nite we stayed up till 4am cooking for Eid. Shah and I, helped by Anin and Sharina, cooked chicken rendang and made around 200 pieces if roti jala. Luckily Shahrein and co cooked the nasi impit, kuah kacang and chicken curry. With us all sleeping late luckily we didn't miss Eid prayer. We got up at around 6:30am and got ready in record time to reach the sport centre where the Eid paryer was held. As usual we didn't quite hear the Eid sermon coz of the playful noise of children. But all in all the mood was joyous and happy indeed. After Eid prayer, we all gathered at Shahrein's place to eat what we've all cooked and took lots of pictures. However, we didn't get to snap the pics coz we didn't bring our camera. So not much Eid pictures this year. Probably I'll get some from Didi's and other people's digital camera.
At around lunch time we headed of to Kak Zah and Abg Juazer's place where we feasted on lemang and lontong. The next house we went to was Kak Ana and Dr. Jamal's where I ate curry noodles..yum yum. Finally we went to Didi's place before heading home. I ate lontang again at Didi's house and ate a delicious piece of chocolate cake made by Sya. Probably I'll be able to get the recipe from her and make one. By the time we got home it was dark and both Shah and I were knackered. We slept early that nite to make up for lack of sleep the previous nite.
On Sunday after a late lie in we got up and started cooking again. This time coz we invited Aryss, Izaty, Lisa, Laila, Kamal, Sakinah and Khairi, our MRSM schoolmate who came from MSia to spend raya with Kamal,their mum, Laila and Sakinah. Shah and I cooked nasi minyak with chicken kurma and chilli chicken. It was a new recipe that we tried and I have to say it came out quite nice and tasty. So next time we can cook it again. In Msia people celebrate Eid throughout the month of Syawal but here we only celebrate for a couple of days before resuming our usual daily routine of uni, work and more work. So today, we're all back at the Uni. Even so, we got an invitation from Noriza and Kamal to go 'beraya' at their place tonite. It's been a while since we've visited them so we had a nice time catching up plus we met some other couples and families. By the time we got home it was 10:30pm and so I watched the second half of The OC before heading up to bed.
All in all we had a lovely and memorable Eid. We called our family back home in Msia too. Hope next year we can celebrate Eid with them...
