It's malam raya. Ummi wouldn't make any main dishes until the date for raya is certain. So, that night, Ummi made some rendang ayam and prepare for meehoon soup for early in the morning tomorrow.
Raya Morning. With a new cloth (actually it's my big sister's Jubah that she never wear), me and family went to Masjid for Solat Hari Raya (after having a taste of rendang ayam of course :)). Right after that, we pay a visit to kubur. Pray for Mama, Atuk, Pak Su and Tok Nyang. And went straight back home. Since Along and her family haven't arrived yet, we did salam raya between us first. Later, we went to our neighbours and have delicious meals. One house served Nasi Daging, another house served Lontong. There also Rendang Negeri Sembilan and ours with Meehoon Soup. What a way to put on weight. *Wink2*
We went to Ummi's hometown later that evening. Have some ketupat pulut with gulai daging. Sedap...Pastu, malam sikit, kitorg pun balik.
Second day raya. Wait for Along n her family to arrived. Since they said it might be late evening, I went to my friend's open house. Have some laksa. Yummy.. Then around 7.15pm, they arrived. Ayah and Ummi very exicited to play with their grandaughter :)..Sooo cute...
Third and Forth day Raya, we went to Ummi's hometown again and I followed Along to her school reunion. On the Fifth Raya, we all set to go back home. On the way, my brother in law made a suggestion to drop by to his hometown first before heading straight home. We all agreed since it's not until Monday that we have to go to work again. Urghh...So, at his hometown, we ordered Pizza. Burp...
The next Morning (Sixth Day), her mother cooked us Lontong for branch and siap tapau lagi bekalkan untuk kitorg kat rumah...Thanks Ibu... :)...So that afternoon, we went back home...Letih letih but best sangat....Perut pun setuju..hehe
Today, seventh day Raya, we all decided to have something different. So, we all end up to a mall to have western food instead...Put a rest to rndang and ketupat for a while...Not that while actually..Coz I heard there's an open house tonight at our neighbour's..So, tummy, here we go again :)

Raya! Raya! Raya! Part I
Alhamdulillah, after 29 hari berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan 1430H yang mulia, 1 Syawal pun menjelma. As for me, I have applied for a leave on Friday i.e. two days before raya. Yelah, nak balik kampung kemas2 rumah semua, takkan nak balik one day before raya kan..One more thing, saje nak merasa terawih ngan family kat masjid..At least dapat jugak one time g terawih sama2...
So, berbalik pada hari Jumaat tu, seawal 4am, me n my little brother bangun siap2. Pastu berbekalkan domino's pizza yg kitorg order online malam tadi, kitorg pun sahur. Around 5am, after making sure that all the doors and windows are nicely sealed, kitorg pun berangkat ke airport. Flight around 7.15am. So, we're supposed to land at our hometown around 8.15am or 8.30am at most. But unfortunately, by the the time our flight reach the destination, somehow, the thick fog made the landing procedure in a difficult position. After a few attemps, the pilot announced that he will make a landing at the nearest airport with clearer view i.e. in other state. We have to wait for about one hour before we flew back to our original destination. We reached home around 10.30am. Alhamdulillah.
Once we put our luggages down, me n ayah went to a supermarket to buy some ingredients for kuih raya the making...I managed to bake two types of kuih raya afterwards. Brownies square n chocolate chip cookies. The brownies square have a story behind it. U guys know right the basic ingredients and steps to bake a cookie? Butter, sugar, eggs always comes first. But for my brownies squares, I sensed something wrong with my dough only when I added the flour. The dough is tougher than usual. It's hard to stir and then I realised. Opppsy...there's still four eggs on the table untouchable. Ayak! It's a waste to throw away the mixture. So, I came up with an idea. Beating all four eggs in a bowl and added the earlier mixtire bit by bit until all set and well combined. Pour the mixture in a tray, baked it. Wallaaahhh!!! Tadaaa!!! It's done perfectly without anyone notice any difference.. :) As for the choc chip cookies, it's overcooked and obviously everyone can see that..huhu..
Later that evening, while ayah n ummi went to bazaar Ramadhan to buy something for Iftar, I made cucur bawang (try to find anchovies but couldn't find one). We have our Iftar together and after Maghrib, we all went to Masjid for Solat Terawih.
The next day, I made kanji a.k.a bubur lambuk a.k.a porridge with sambal telur and fried some nuggets. After Solat Maghrib, we wait for the announcement "...saya mengisytiharkan, tarikh hari raya puasa 1430H jatuh pada 20hb September 2009 iaitu pada hari Ahad....." Thus, yesterday was our last Terawih for this year. Couldn't wait for next year..Insyaallah..
So, what's next?...Raya Time!!!

Just Wondering....
- Falling in love always makes me wonder.
- Is he the one? Also makes we wonder.
- I have come to a situation when it is so close to chase away all the wonders, then suddenly something came up....and my heart breaks into million pieces..and hurt so much....
- I made a decision there and then and I know that I am not purely honest of making up my mind at the time (well, since I am not emotionally stabil..but pretend to be one).
- Lately, I learn to accept and learn to open up my mind more and more.
- Making friends and all.
- Learn to forgive and forget..but yet the wondering still exist.
- But this time, I'm sensing a good feeling and the wonders are not as terrified as last time.
- I still need to learn to control my emotion.
- Hope to see clearer picture that I'm seeing right now.
- Istikharah is the best medicine ever.
- Turn to Allah, and He never let you down. He know what best for you even you don't know it yet.
Pasrah akan ketentuanNya.......

Hidup Adalah Suatu Pertukaran
Alhamdulillah sekarang dah masuk 14 Ramadhan 1430.
My company ada buat daily ceramah around 1pm to 1.30pm which I think is good since as a human, we always forgot, right. And need to be reminded all the times :)
Here's a bit of info that I gained during the ceramah:
1) 4 Tunggak Utama (Akhlak Dalam Pekerjaan)
a) Yakin dengan apa yang dibuat dan Yakin dengan Islam yang dibawa.
b) Adil iaitu meletakkan sesuatu benda pada tempatnya. Dengan adil, kamu
akan semakin hampir dengan Allah.
c) Sabar
d) Jihad ke jalan Allah - fikirkan akhirat
2) Syarat-syarat Taubat (Dosa kepada Allah)
a) Buang punca yang mendorong kepada perbuatan yang dilarang
b) Menyesal di atas perbuata dengan bangun malam dan air mata sebagai bukti kekesalan
c) Jangan ulangi lagi perbuatan yang dilakukan dengan berazam kuat. Jangan juga
mengungkit dosa yang telah dilakukan especially untuk bermegah2 atau saja2.
3) Harta kita yang sebenar: Pahala, Iman dan Ilmu.
Since hidup is suatu pertukaran, when we wear our clothes, to make pahala out of it, we need
to dress properly i.e. tutup aurat. Same with our beloved rumah. We can trade it and gain
pahala with happily treat our guests and always sujud to Allah. As for our anak (to whom yang
dah ada one), we can trained them to be soleh and solehah so that they can pray for us
parents.
Hope we will become a true Muslim till the end. Insyaallah. Ameen.
