Selamat Hari Raya 2010...


Selamat Hari Raya, Aki, Tok Dy, Nani, Tok My!

2010 Hari Raya started off from our new home. We moved in Last July in time for celebrating Puasa & Hari Raya at the new pad. That morning we 'Men' looked dashing in our pucuk pisang color theme Baju Melayu. (Thanks Mama).

Its Reyza's first time to wear a Baju Melayu complete with the 'sampin'. He wasn't keen wearing it at first (the sampin). He cried and said 'tak nak' , 'tak nak'. Kinda complicated, perhaps he thought that 'sampin' is a skirt and skirts are for gurls. (Thats my boy!)

Wifey had to bring him to see me in order to show Reyza that 'Real' Men wear 'sampin'. After a few rounds of explaining..our kid finally understood. Smart boy....


Our small Family


Our New Pad
I guess Hari Raya now days are more for the kids. Seeing, Reyza running gleefully and its a joy for us to see his eyes lit up with happiness in the morning of Hari Raya .Just look at Reyza's poses. Cheeky . Cute. Geram!
"Okay, everyone look here!"

"Wait a minute, wheres the camera?"

"Abah!!!!!"

The morning start off, by visiting Tok dy & Tok My. All my wifey's siblings are here this year, so it was a great opportunity for us as seldom that we get to gather everyone for Hari Raya.

"Reyza : Jom Makan Abah, just put the camera down for a while"

Grandfather & Grandson Moment

After 1230pm, we meet up Aki and Nani at gombak. We chat and eat till about 4:00pm since Reyza kinda fell asleep there as well. Overall, it was a great 1st Day Raya ever! Can't wait for next years Puasa & Hari Raya.....
"Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitriiiiiiiiii!!!!"

Eve of Hari Raya

Both of us took leave the eve of Hari Raya, offcourse Reyza is happy that both of his parents are home. We decided that will have Ketupat, Ketupat Pulut, Rendang Ayam & Gulai Ayam on Raya Day. I didnt want to over exert myself as am currently 7 and half months preggie. The assistant helped alot.!

The assistant is an expert of Ketupat making and offcourse we are happy that she wants to make them for Raya day. She could finish weaving these in 4 hours or so for 90pcs of Ketupats.Hebat!


Gorgeous Ketupats

Well we are not the only ones happy to see the beautiful Ketupats, Reyza is trilled that he could actually touched a Ketupat! He learned about Ketupats from his funny twin friends, U.pin & I.pin!
