Last Raya...

The Raya month of Syawal is well over...and flames from the 'pelita' has long been extinguished with the 'pelita' carefully wrapped and kept safely for its use next Raya. So, what really happened last Raya? What did we do? Where did we go? Who did we visit and who visited us? But the BIG questtion is WHY not many post for Raya in this blog?

To summarise the whole episode of Syawal and its activities, the pictures below should give the answer...enjoy the pictorial story.

Raya is all about rejoicing and celebrating the completion of Ramadhan...so FOOD is my first agenda here:

Whats Raya without the tradisional lemang...


And the nasi empet and kuah kacang


Rendang to go with the lemang plus sirap to quench the thirst


These stay was a bonus that we had at Wan Acik's place

Visiting friends & relatives and receiving them is just part of the celebration during Raya. Here are some from our collection of pics over the Raya period.

Ma's cousin & family and visiting Pa's relative in Seremban


We had visitors at Ma's kampung too...photo session at the grand tangga merah


Meanwhile, at our Seremban house, we had Pa's office mates over


They came with their kids...and enjoyed the food served


We tried to pay a return visit where we can like here at Pa's office mate home


Also here...Ma's friend...at our place and at their Springhill home


A rare visit to Ma's aunty place and to Pa's school mate


Another rare occasion...Pa's school mate coming over and Raya community gathering at our Seremban taman


We even went all the way to Banting to Uncle Li's aunt to accompany Mami, Wan & Atuk


A detour to KLIA mosque enroute to KLIA to see some planes




Some shots at KLIA terminal for record


The skytrain track taken very late in the evening before we left for home.

And so ends the Syawal and Raya for this year...Our customary photo session in our blue outfit; the theme colour for this year wraps up the Hari Raya Aidil Fitri episode.
