Rasalah ketupat ini...
...dengan rendangnya sekali, sudilah rasa kuihku... etc.
A very joyous day for Muslims all over the world especially for Muslims in Malaysia, and not to forget our first angkasawan, Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor due to arrive at the ISS today. I'm sure most of Malaysians aware that he brought along with him some food including satay and cookies for a Raya party in ISS with all the crew there, neat.
I honestly think that this year's Raya is pretty dull compared to the last few years. It's probably because school students were fasting during school hours and were too tired to help their moms preparing for this festive season. I didn't really help my mom hanging up the curtains or make cookies with here. I just helped few things in grandma's house, but I didn't miss what is happening in the kitchen. So far, I've made cornflake cookies, murrukus, this grandma's recipe and an orange cake. Tonight, I'll make another two cakes; orange cake and fruit cake.
I also started receiving wishes from peers and an MMS from someone that I don't even know. My friend in Terengganu called me last night and said that thousands of people were stranded at the bus terminals in Kota Bharu yesterday because the bus drivers are workers were having this 'mogok' thing. He got on the bus at 1pm, which supposed to be at 10am. KL is probably has a total population of 1000 or something...
I would like to wish all Malaysians Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. To all Muslims all over the world, Happy Eid! I did my shopping, I did my cooking, I did my cleaning and I'm ready for Hari Raya!
