So here's the update that I owe my blog. Let's all start off with the Hari Raya...
This year, my paternal grandfather was not in Singapore, therefore we celebrate our first day of Raya at my uncle's house @ Yishun. What's more he just got a newborn baby, so it is much more convinient for him to have it @ home plus there isn't a need for his wife to cook so much since we are having a pot luck thingy where every family will bring at least a dish. My mum was in charge of Lontong and Rendang Daging. There was quite a lot of foods there, sambal udang, lodeh, ketupat and more which I eventually forget the names.
So the supposed meet up time was at 3pm becomes 5pm. So those who reach early have to wait for a few hours. But well, it's Hari Raya mah, so what's with waiting for a while right?? Yes it was quite fun la, plus I get to meet up with my cousins which I rarely meet. Chit-Chat here and there among everyone in the house. Oh yes, even though the house was kinda small, but we managed to snap a picture of us without my grandad of course. It's been three weeks of Hari Raya and we'll be meeting him for the first time this Sunday. Three weeks long waiting for him to come back to Singapore.
After about 6.30pm, it's time for everyone to continue their journey, and for my family, we're all heading to my maternal's parents house. So there we go again, my bro drives the car since he rarely get to drive the car due to his work shifts and stuffs. Upon reaching there, only 3 families has reached and the rest I think are on their way. The situation more hectic and chaotic when more family arrives since my grandparents live in a 3 room flat. So what do you expect right?? We just have to give in to the others that have just arrived ESPECIALLY those elder uncles n aunties.
Sometimes I do wonder, Hari Raya, shouldn't we forgive and forget about the past?? But it didn't happen to me for a certain people. One thing is that, they don't seem to know their mistakes. So what do I do....Just have to ignore them la, if not I don't know ah what will happen. Better keep a distance than getting myself into more trouble. Because of that incident, I rest my case of inviting them out for Iftar or something. If they want and if they are sincere, then I might consider joining them. If not, forget it I say.
So back to my grandparents house, eventually nothing much la, because of the chaotic situation, me and my small cousins go to the park under my grandparents block and relax there instead of just sitting in the house so cramped. It's not that I'm complaining that the house it so small, but give in la. Some people don't have this "Give In" thingy in them. So what if they are the elders there, only they can occupy the place is it. Then how about the others?? Sit outside?? Haix...forget about them. What matters is having fun with my cousins is enough even though not with all of them. But I'm happy with the cousins I'm having right now.
So well, that's my first day of hari raya, I won't drag it more and go into more raya stories. So let's just view the pix we took. I like my family picture the best.... :D
P.S... The pix are small sia...never mind, there's more in my Facebook..
