Week 15 - Eid Celebration

So Alhamdullilah that Ramadan has come and went. I hope that all my good deeds are accepted. And now it is time for Eid. This week has been an interesting week. I enjoyed myself hanging out with my cousins and my mom 

Apr 7
• after 50 days mama came back. Miss her a lot
• Had to cook a lot because the whole dad in law family is coming. We made masak lemak telur ayam, ayam kicap, Sayur campur and sambal. It was lovely hanging out with the family

Apr 8
• H2 and mama left for kampung. We will see them on the first of Raya
• Run errands with wife. The roads were empty. The mall was empty. We had iftar outside and wife bought 15000 worth of gold.

Apr 10
• Today is Eid. So Wake up as usual but this time we need to get everyone ready since we are supposed to leave by 6:30. But since these are my girls we are talking about we ended up leaving by 7. The trip was fast with minimal traffic. Arrive there around 8:05 and was greeted by H2
• After greeting my mom and everyone who is there we went for Eid prayers and after that came back and eat. But before we came back everyone took a lot of pictures that we were there for 20 mins just taking pictures.
• First house is my old late grandfathers house. Ate some food and then just hang out with cousins. Mom has a house with Aircond so the family hang out there. We decided to go out to visit our other relatives. My uncle came just before we left so we had to wait a while
• Second house is my cousins house. Just the same thing where we go. Say hi and eat
• Third house is my uncle house. He is close to 90 but his mind is still sharp as a tack. He also has an overweight cat that apparently likes to sit on H2
• Fourth house is my other uncles house. I like this house because they don’t serve typical Eid food. We had some ayam penyet and soup. My cousin is going for haj so I invited them over to compare notes
• Fifth and last house is my other uncles house. They are the coolest because all of the relatives are great to be around with. But I hang out with my wife because she can’t climb up the steep and narrow steps
• Came home and then me H1 and wife left back home. We arrive close to 10pm

Apr 11
• Wake up this morning and decided to go back to see mom because they are doing a open house Eid celebration.
• So what happened was the the family next door which was my late aunt kids (so my cousins) were supposed to do a potluck and invite all our extended family to come and eat. But what happen is that they invited their side of the family rather than invite our side. So when we came there food was almost finish our side of the family had to cook for their guest. They didn't do any food at all. It turns out we got scammed into doing an open house for them. I still manage to eat a plate of curry mee so I am good
• Took pictures with the whole family before some of them had to leave to go back to their husbands hometown.
• H2 found friends and H1 found a friend. So they both didn't want to go home just yet. H1 friend offered to send her home tomorrow but because we didn't know the girl we said no. So what we did is was stayed one night. The problem is that we didn't bring any clothes so we just borrowed clothes from our cousins

Apr 12
• Woke up to pray at 4:30am in the morning. It was very quiet. I like the rural life.
• After prayers I made breakfast for everyone. They seem to be amazed that I can cook and enjoy my cooking
• By 9 we packed and we were ready to go home. The roads were not that bad. Came home and everyone went to sleep. • Did laundry and some classes and had Mcd for lunch.

Apr 13
• Today we went for Chinese food for lunch. It was so delicious
• Went to Mom in Law house to take some pictures and hang out  

It was a great week for me. I love catching up with my cousins and eating a lot of great food. Next week my wife will do another operation. Other than that. Not sure what will happen. We will just wait and see I guess
