In Celebration Mood....

    The end of Ramadan is almost here. Surprisingly I have been able to wake up for sahur for most of the day. Usually it's hard for me to wake up because it interrupts with my sleeping pattern. Must have been because I had to get up early to get to work nowadays. By the way, I found that if I leave for work a little later, I can easily get to the office in 45 minutes instead of one hour. Don't know if it is because of puasa, everybody leaves for work early. It is possible. So maybe after raya, I will test out this theory. If it is not true, then I can leave for work a little later, anything to save my money and petrol hehe..

    My mom has been making kuih raya for sale so my siblings and I, we all helped by selling it at our offices. It's been received quite well. Everyone says it's delicious. Man advertised the kuih in the internet and surprisingly there was actually people wanting to buy them. We got orders from as far as Perlis, Miri and Labuan. There was actually people who wanted to reorder but we had to either decline to it or we'll make the kuih after raya. It's actually time and energy consuming to make the kuih and being the daughter who is staying at home, I do had to help a lot. Anything for my mother. At least she's got something to do at home now that she is retired. Next year we might be selling the kuih again so look out for it.

    Can't wait to balik kampung for raya. It will be fun. I heard from my mom that on the first day of raya, we will be having kenduri arwah for my late grandma. Don't know what we will be cooking though. Usually we will cook rendang ayam and daging, ketupat, lontong and kuah kacang. Bila masak rendang and ketupat, mesti masak kawah so usually I will be helping jaga api tu. This year I only made 1 baju raya. Usually I have at least two. I didn't have time to actually do some real shopping. I guess i will have to settle with just that. Have my duit raya ready also. I am lucky that I only have 2 nieces and 1 nephew and my cousins are all grown up so I will be saving some money by not having to give too much hehe...

Selamat Hari Raya and happy holidays everyone....
