Raya Eve

Finally, tomorrow is Raya...

Although we are a few remaining peoples that celebrate raya tomorrow but the feeling, the sensation are still same with the others...and of course i think it was more cheerful since tomorrow are Saturday, which means that we don't need to think about classes while celebrating raya...

Raya preparation started after Jumaat prayer...first task is to clean the house...and my job is to clean upstairs toilet...although it's not my favorite task but it's okay since i'm the one that assign all the task to all my housemates...

Then, i continue with baking cookies...what?...yes i baking cookies...so what?...for a guys living at overseas, far far away from his family, where he can't go to any shop and say 'Bagi saya yang itu 2 bekas, yang itu 3 bekas, dan yang hujung tue, ala kuih belang-belang tue, ha saya nak 3 bekas jugak', so he need to bake cookies...

And that one is our 3rd cookies...first it was famous amous, kinda like chocolate chip cookies, baked by Amar n Hairi...ermm the taste was marvelous although the look are kinda weird...seriously it was like cekodok you know...hahaha

the second one are butter cookies with haw flakes...haw flakes tue ala asam keping nipis saiz 20 sen...ha zaman2 dulu memang bebudak sukamakan bende tue...bebudak zaman skang nie kalau ditanya bende tue mesti taktau apa bende tue...and that cookies are my air tangan

and last but not the least are Almond London, one of my favorite cookies...but unfortunately we're short with cooking chocolate so only half of the cookies that has chocolate covering it...while the other halves, are bare...but it still tastes nice...

Oh in the mean time all my housemates are busy cleaning the rest of the house...except Ruslan since i ask him to go to Wing Yip to buy instant ketupat...oh poor guy...kesian dia kena gi jauh-jauh coz in the end, takde pon instant ketupat tue kat Wing Yip...sold out...i suspect it was because of raya...

And because i ask him to go to Wing Yip, he ask me to cook rendang ayam at home...oh gosh...i actually thought either Hairi or Ruslan will cook the rendang coz both of them are really great at cooking rendang...but then since both of them are busy doing something else, then the one that left is me...

So, what to do, by asking directions from Hairi, i started cook rendang...thank god there is 2 packets of rempah rendang which Ruslan brought from Malaysia, so it kinda make my life easier and enhanced the tastes of the rendang...while cooking rendang, Hairi is busy cleaning the kitchen and it was like a war zone...it was chaos inside the kitchen where i need to cook rendang, to finish baking cookies and at the same time preparing adunan for roti jala...

oh it was like 1 hour before iftar left and we still busy cleaning the house and cooking...what a mess...

but after all, we managed to finish all that right before maghrib and by that time, some of our guests already arrive...while i still busy making roti jala, the others are bertakbir raya...and then we all started to eat...it was like a small kenduri...oh our guests are all junior boys...

it was a relaxing night after that...a bit of talking, gossiping, umpating...and it was really meriah...

oh ok, i really sleepy right now, so good night guys...
