I thought once our parents were gone, our siblings and us would drift further away from each other.I thought wrong.
Every opportunity we have,we'd do a get together.It is difficult to agree on a date..there are a few in the family who would be busy gracing and officiating events so every time we whatsapp one another, masing2 tunjuk sibuk: am in Penang..here giving a speech, here cutting a ribbon in Perak..wekk wekk..haha.Yang sorang tu: can't come - ikut suami berdakwah di kg orang asli (yg dah Islam).
Today siapa yang sempat je (almost cukup quorum-nya).We buat potluck...after round 1, semua ckp pun dah slow, pergerakan slow motion cos' terlalu kekenyangan.Buruk betul!We did tahlil for our loved ones.After makan, semua pressured Yayan to sing cos' he has a band and they hv been performing in KL.Yayan wrote a song for aruah Irsyad and we tried hard to get him to sing it.Dia tak mau.Then finally he sang a song and the sporting aunties and older cousins jadi backup singers.:)) It was a nice get together.We are doing it again next raya haji in sya Allah.
Masak lemak itik salai Ummi was so yummy.I brought sambal tempoyak terong manggor and petai with ikan bilis (my mom's recipe and one of her fav dishes).Yang lain-lain tu bwk makanan "modan" - shepherd's pie, eclairs, lontong, soto, dll.
Akhirnya some people tertidur bawah meja! Buruk! :))
And now: to the other side's do.Nik's sister is hosting a merdeka dinner.Tak sabar nak tengok Nazeer.
