Rindu Kat Raya, Ngada Tak?

Bila raya kelima dah kena kerja, memang rasa "gilalah, that has got to be the shortest raya ever!" Well, memang pun coz third raya, orang masih sibuk beraya here and there, we were already on our way home from Tganu. Kononnya nak chill jek on the way home, no rush kan, hamik ko, 12 jam dalam kereta! The jam came towards the end of the journey, at Genting Sempah area. It wasnt too bad, but we were an hour behind our estimated time of arrival.

And Sunday, bosan kat rumah. Could have gone to my parents' place but they were still in Johor, ikut my BIL's family beraya. Boleh lah macam tu kan? Besides, Khaira kena flu so it was all for her recovery. And melayan dia memerap dengan kita.

Di Terengganu
Proud to say, we visited almost 20 houses in two days. But we didn't have to drive to all of them, half of it memang menapak cuma saja. Rumah maksu, sebelah jek. Rumah abg Long, belakang jek, rumah Makcik sebelah rumah maksu, and sebelahnya rumah Mak Teh. I think, by the time we were at Mak Teh's house, the kids were already asking when are we going home. Belasah kang! Dah ler pergi each house less than half hour jek pun, lagi mau merungut ka? Duit raya orang bagi amik plak kan? After dah cover the 'neighbours' we went to cousins house plak, ni kena drive la skit but still in one kampung. Truthfully, the houses I went to are familiar (berdasarkan raya lampau) tapi siapa nama tuan rumah, ampun sesangat, tak masuk dalam kepala. Depa ni tabiat jenis "jom gi rumah Na" takpun, "tu rumah Ja" or "Gi rumah Nah." Na and Nah... rasa2 tak confuse ke ni orang sama ke orang lain? I have two sister in laws yang dipanggil Mah. And everytime abg ajis sebut, i will go which Kak Mah? So kenalah label Mah Pasir Putih, Mah Beranang. And I am Da. Do you know berapa ramai 'Da' kat area tu? Maka saya pun jadilah 'Da menantu Mok Ngoh' or 'Da bini Jeh' dengan harapan I am famous enough to be remembered la kan hehehehe...

One of the nieces, panggil Yu. Bertahun-tahun lamanya I assume nama dia Ayu. Rupa2nya NURUL wehhh! hehehehee... Ti plak is Izzati, bukan Yati ya... Luckily lah my kids tak dishortformkan jadi Ya, Fa, Mmar... Ada gak mak sendiri pun tak kenal. "Ya mana?" "Weh, anak mung sendirik mung dok kenaaaaal?" Mampos!

Another reason why I truly enjoyed Raya di Terengganu is the FOOD. My sister in laws cooked tak banyak tapi apa yang ada tu, sangat sedap. My personal favourite is the kuah kacang berayam. Yes, kuah kacang ada isi ayam. Memula dengar I was like, eek, apakah? Tapi bila dah masuk mulut, siang malam kot hadap the same thing. Sedap gilos. Makacih lah Kak Mah Pasir Putih untuk air tanganmu itu. Nasi minyak rumah Makcik was awesome. Mi kari at one of azis's cousins also sodap coz ada sambal kerang. Itu lauk pauk raya... We stopped at my bestie's house in Kuantan and she made baked pasta pun sodap!! Alhamdulillah utk nikmat kesedapan tak terhingga.

Dah Balik KL Ni...
Masuk opis I sorang jek kat editorial mag ni. Ingatkan ada lagi sorang. Server lak tak disangka2 down plak. Ngangaism lah kejap. Bila team IT dah baiki siap thousand apologies bagai, terus ketuk cover story. Bersemangat semacam. Tak sedar dah satu lebih. Perut mula menjerit "makan lah weyy!" (napa bulan puasa okay jek berpuasa, sebab dah niat kot). Menonong ke kedai sama untuk mendapatkan.... Ayam Paprikkkkkk! Sedapnya makannnnn!

Ok dah merapu. And oh, Happy Birthday Iqbal Umar. He's finally SIX years old. Sepanjang tahun cakap he's six padahal masih five. I am taking leave tomorrow to celebrate with tok Mama and Baba.

Toodles!
