My aunt from BP called me last night to order some last minute cookies and secretly I think, she was scared that I won't balik kampung this raya. So by ordering the cookies, I would feel obliged to come back home. She knows I'm not too happy with the fact that this is the first raya without my grandmother around. And I know I will be so emotional on first day of Raya.
Isn't it funny that when we were kids Raya used to be so happy and joyful and as we age there's just so many tears shed on Raya? (or maybe it's just me...)
Two more days. As usual, ada saja yang tak siap. I need to buy two more pants for Yunus, my youngest because I forgot to buy him any shorts/pants when I was in Bandung. Don't ask me why. And I need to buy Ali's baju melayu.. again, don't ask me why I haven't bought this for him. I blame it on the hamper-making and cookie-baking and the perpetually heavy KL traffic during Ramadhan. And I need to buy one dress for Medina, I bought her too many during my Bandung trip and her grandmother will probably buy a closetful already. But I just need to give her something so that she doesn't feel like I haven't bought her anything when I go back to BP. She's such a drama mama, much like her mama... She probably would've forgotten that she's the one who got the most goodies after I got back from my Bandung trip.
Anyway, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank The Diver for being showing his feminine streak this Ramadhan...
Kemachoan yang hilang.. :P The Diver and Hana's brother helping out with my Hazelnut Suji.
The end product... These are really yummy (kes masuk bakul)...
The Diver helping out in the kitchen, preparing his Corned Beef Fried Rice for iftaar.
The Diver's nasi goreng -- siap shredded omelette lagi...Zaza, I really wish you're here for Raya :( We miss you lots!
Happy Eid everyone, just in case I'm too busy to post anything the next two days.

Hi Jo, Selamat Hari Raya to you and your family too!
Halwafy, I made your Fab Oatmeal Cookies btw (sans raisins)... Anyway, the kuih raya he was making is Hazelnut Suji. Basic suji recipe, just add ground hazelnut.
I also baked Oatmeal cookies the other day. Dah nak abis dah. It seems like most of the cookies I baked earlier dah nak kena bake another round for Raya.
By the way, last week aku shopping raya kat Plaza Angsana sebab murah gila. Tapi ramai gila manusia, kena siku-siku orang masa nak pilih baju.
dnas, somehow kids go crazy over the oatmeal cookies lah.. anyway, Angsana memang best... Kotaraya pun OK jugak...

I've missed so many Rayas ever since I came here. I keep telling myself to balik Raya next time but I end up not being able to do it. I really have to do that next year.
I really miss all of you. Only God knows how much I miss home. *sob* *sob*
Za, your sister and I hope to have you and Kazu back for next year's raya.
I want my sister back here next year.
Happy Eid to you, the Diver and the family, too :)
The suji looks heavenly - one of my only three favourite raya cookies, the other two being kueh makmur and biskut mazola.
Happy holidays!
