Late Delivery !!!

hi there..

such a late post..

eid mubarak had passed for about 3weeks

and now, here i put some memories of it...

1 syawal was on 30 August 2011..

it was such a nostalgic eid

where we made lemang (made of glutinous rice and coconut milk and cooked in a hollowed bamboo stick lined with banana leaves in order to prevent the rice from sticking to the bamboo),

ketupat (made from rice that has been wrapped in a woven palm leaf pouch and boiled. As the rice cooks, the grains expand to fill the pouch and the rice becomes compressed )

and all my cousins gathered in my grandma house..

it was havoc and the feelings were different

it was awesome..

guys took care of foods that on fire

while girls did the house cleaning

accompanied by raya songs and babies...

it was exhausted...

even we were hungry as we were fasting,

but the joy and laughter made it fantastic

all my handsome and hardworking cousins..

they enjoyed their work..

they even went to Jeram for refreshment

at night

in cik pui house for Takbir

Takbir at mine

while waiting the others

in cik Ju's

understanding the real meaning of Raya with lil bunger =)

my family

before rushing to my grandparents'

there was a birthday party

it was izz's

with the birthday boy..

when the guys in action...

they asked for many shoots!!

in front of my late grandma house

reminiscing good old days

We all grow up with the weight of history on us.

Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains

as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies.
