2012 Raya Preparation


Eid ul Fitr is coming, in 3 days! Are you excited to celebrate it? Are you sad to leave Ramadhan? To me, yes to both.

This is the first year I went through Ramadhan without my kids by my side. They are at my mom’s as my mother-in-law (MIL) can’t take care of them during this period. She clearly told us that she needs to rest for a month. Thus, my mom offered us to take care of the kids. I jumped in joy as I couldn’t imagine the kids with other people except with family members.

I went back to see them at most of the weekend except last week as we spent it by preparing for Syawal. Hubby can’t join me because either he was sick or he was too sad to say goodbye on Sunday when we supposed to come back to Kuala Lumpur.

Kids are happy at my mom’s. They are so close and clingy with all my siblings and my parents. When my mom left to Pangkor Island attending a meeting, my stepfather and brother took care of my kids. Alhamdullillah, I have reliable family members.

Last week hubby and I did clothes shopping for kids. We shop till we totally dropped! Sogo Complex was full with people as when we were on the escalators and looked down, it looked like colorful ants were after sugar. We managed to grab some cool outfits for both of them, and went to Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman to get their baju melayu. Wait for the pictures soon! I can’t wait to see Maleec and Aaron in their baju melayu.

For raya cookies, I did 2 types only; biskut arab and my famous chocolate chips cookies. It took several batches as I did for my house, for mom and MIL too. It tastes good and it such a lost for those who can’t try itJ

Most of the people in my office are already left to their hometown. Sadly, I have to work till tomorrow. But the raya mood is already in me, thus I can’t really bother about work. Hehe.
Ok people, Happy Aidilfitri, sorry body and soul. If you are free, please drop by at my house a week after raya!
