my raye.....


MY RAYE


There are so many things i want to share about my raye.....for dis year raye..i did feel a little bit sad bcause for d next two years...i might not clbrate dis special day with my family....(looking forward ..hehheheh)....So i did my best to full use this year opportunity by learning few raye's menu from my mom and my auntieszzz for exmple.... rendang Negeri Sembilan, ketupat , ayam masak merah ,dadih and so on..( so that i can cook raya dishes over there next year.....hopefully)

What do i love about raye???

(a) duit raye (angpau)...i still collect duit raye ok....
(b) d various type of delicious food....
(c) family gathering time .....after being separated for a year..
(d) extra allowance...(shopping for raya clothes,shoes and whtever.....)

My answer would be all in d list...but the most i prefer is C..family gathering time...i don't know why????...maybe i'm in a type of family man...hmmm...for me..family comes first no matter what it is....i do love to see all of my family members work together....bcause....that is the time where we could share lots of stories,experience,gossips and so on.....

So....the first thing i did after i came back frm maktab was helping my mother menganyam ketupat after terawikh......some people may find it weird esp when a guy knw how to menganyam ketupat..some typical person may look it as 'girlish work'...but not in my family....my mum always reminds me how important for us to appreciate our own culture,if we don't possess it..it will disappear sooner.....plus..it is an extra credit for those who know how to menganyam ketupat..coz u may feel kind of authentic and traditional feeling about hari raye.....



hmm.... together with my siszz n mum.....

Taraa..that was the result of being so patient to menganyam keetupat...

Then..a day bfore raye..we started preparing for raya dishes....since my father's family is Minangkabau people..our compulsory menu is Rendang N.Sembilan......frankly speaking...that is the most diffcult menu 2 be prepared...but it is d best rendang i ever tasted...Basically...U need to stir/ kacau the rendang until it totally dry....and if u willing to sit still kacauing the rendang for 5-6 hours...that mean u pass the test..


we did take turn to stir the rendang....mane than buat sorang2..


Since..i had promised to my aunt that i would help her preparing for d last berbuke...i need to fulfill my words lorr....so i decided to serve Mee goreng basah...and with my aunt's help....everyone seemed satisfied with our cooking.........


sempat tau pose mse tgh masak..hehe..don't u think it looks yummy

Here there are some of my raye pics....as usual....everyone wore their special raye clothes, taking zillion pics, bermaaf- maafan, visiting our relatives and d most important thing..was collecting duit raye...(hehhehe....) Believe me not...there are only two conditions when we talk about collecting duit raye in my age (19..not yet 20..ok)

a) you get extra amount of duit raye..consider u r no longer a child (so malulah kalau bg skit)

b)you get nothing..bcoz they consider u r big enough...

for me myself....i experienced both..but most of time..my family and relatives still gve me duit raye or else i will mintak from them...(i will do everything to get it..hehhee)




di pagi aidilfitri...with my cousin and aunties.....




d most 'syahdu' moment.....mintak maaf from my mum...


and my abah too...
