Final day fasting at SKI, busy packing and cleaning the house. (I inherited my mom's habit - before u leave your house for any trip make sure it is tidy and clean. So that when u get back home, tired and everything, u'll find peace and relax with not much work to do). I find this very true.. very true indeed. Zul pesan, get some sleep, because u're the one who will drive tonite. But with all the work and 2 over excited little kids, mana ada masa nak tido. Last2 mmg tak tido lamsung. Busy packing cleaning etc etc.
After breaking fast, Zul pasang lampu lip lap at the sliding door, punya la seronok the kids. Seronok nak raya, hehehehe. Around 9pm we head for TBC ( my dad's house). Everybody dah ready, cuma waiting for the right time aja. Actually i thot nak bertolak early morning.. like after sahur but my dad said he wanted to sahur at his mom's, 3 1/2 hours drive away. So we follow aje la.. convoy. At 11.45pm we start our journey.
All I can say is that, we didn't arrive at my grandma's place in time for sahur. We have to stop at bkt gantang (which is only abt 15 mins to my grandma's place) for sahur and only arrived at 6.00am. Hehehe punya la jammed jalan, luckily we decided to stop at my my dad's birthplace. Heard on the radio the other day, someone going to A.star bertolak from her house in KL around 12 midnight and only reach JURU (Penang) around 11am. Tak sampai A.star pun lagi. Punya dahsyat la, banyak benau umat2. Hehehe
Anyway, I drove from TBC till.. err I dont remember where but Xpin take over after an hour nap, until Bkt Gantang. Then Zul take over, he slept all the way to Bkt Gantang, sbb it is his waking time! Zul is an early riser, during Ramadhan he didn't sleep after sahur, terus gi ofis. I didn't sleep all the way, and only manage to sleep after subuh around 6 till 8am. Around 9am my younger bro and sis reached the house. They came with my aunt car, bertolak lepas sahur around 5 gitu. Should we bertolak at the same time, for sure we dont have to queue at the R&R toilet and eat our sahur on the bonet of the car!. But what is done is done. Didn't do much that day, after Jumaat prayers we packed our things and bertolak ke Perlis. *My dad didn't come along, he wanted to stay at his mom's place for Raya. It was a sad moment to hug my dad and wishing him Hari Raya, it's the first time we dont celebrate raya together. Actually my siblings and him la. I of course ada.. :)
Reached at Kangar Perlis around 4+pm. Stop by at my grandma's (my late mother's mom) house. Discover that there's a new 'chef' there. Went to Pasar Ramadhan at the Stadium, instead of buying food, Zul borong the forbidden thing! Hehehe. At around 6.30 pm we headed to Sg Batu Pahat, our uncle's house where we spend our Hari Raya at. For ur info, we've been staying at my uncle's place during raya for the last 6 years.. so it's no big deal. My grandma's house pun dah sarat... so we sacrifice la. hehehehe. My aunty dah prepared everything, except bakar ayam for 'Panggang Raja'. Yang lain semua dah siap. Balik mkn aja. Mlm tu it self dah rasa mcm raya. The kids are happy.. main bunga api although it's drizzling outside. We yang adults ni dok tgk TV sambil makan and bergossip.. hehehe

Day 3 - Saturday 13/10 Eidul Fitri
Get up as early as 6am, berebut bilik air as usual.. hehehe. Had breakfast, (nasik impit with panggang raja and kuah kacang berdaging.. sedap tak terkata....) wake up the kids and head to Masjid for Hari Raya prayers. Itu yang best beraya di Perlis ni, semua bersolat hari raya regardless the gender. Just like at Shah Alam Mosque. But in Kedah, priorities are given to men and elderly women. In Singapore, only men are allowed. Sheessh..!!!
After prayer, we head to our grandma's house.. beraya and mkn lagi. Kali ni with ketupat pulut, kuah kacang spicy style, panggang raja (the wajib dish) & rendang dgg ampang style. Nobody dare to try the new chef rendang limpa & paru. hehehe
We head back to Sg Batu Pahat after that, while the kids follow my aunty pick up nasi minyak/beriani at his brother's house. His brother is a great cook. Mmg sedap! That's for lunch, nasik with panggang raja and some mixed vege with some leftover kari kepala ikan. Ah... sedap.. hahahaha.
I dont actually know where my kids were at the time. I was 'busy' eating.. and 'eating' and 'eating' hehehhe. My aunty ni pandai masak. Nobody can resist her cooking. Her father was a cook... so turun la dkt dia. Actually all her adik beradik semua pandai masak, sedap weh.. hehehe. OK.. back to the kids... it seems that my cousins, age range between 12 - 5 (all boys), bawak my two girls beraya around the area. They introduce them as 'Cicit Syed Omar'. The kmpg yg my uncle dok tu is known as Kg Syed Omar after my late grandad. The respond was 'Alhamdulillah, dah ada cicit rupanya Pak Syed'. Balqis and Bazleen was enjoying themselves eating whatever they hidang. I was kindda proud of them. They prefer to beraya rather than watching TV, unlike their mother (hahahaha).

Day 4 - Sunday 14/10
Had the famous laksa perlis for breakfast and then head to Wang Kelian, border Southern Thai. Kononnye utk membeli belah. The crowd there was quite big jugak la.

Ramai jugak yang pergi sana. Zul beli buah berangan 1kg for rm18, and my aunty beli 3kilos..!! hahahaha We bought stuffed katak (rm10) for balqis (dia suka peluk utk tidur) and small guitar (rm7) for bazleen. Bought sliper for Zul (rm6) and talipinggang polo (rm10) what else ek..? That's it kot. None for me. hehehehe. My sis, bro, uncle and aunty headed to pdg besar after that. but we headed home. Actually we are worried about the kids we left with my mute cousin and her hubby. The day before her husband said he wanted to go to his friends house so we rushed home so that they can do some visiting. And guess what, my kids were not around, they went beraya lagi.. to rumah yang lain pulak. Mkn laksa la segala bagai. Hahahaha. Main hujan lagi budak2 tu.
Day 5 - Monday 15/10
Around 10 in the morning Zul, Xpin and myself headed to A.Star (Yes, leaving the kids behind again... hey, dorang tak nak ikut tau) for andaman assignment. Xpin nak kena make up her colleague, sbb nak bertunang that day. Hantaran semua tak buat sbb uncle dia mmg dah ada kedai. Nice one jugak. See for yourself.
Cool kan..?? Semua fresh flowers. The cost utk fresh flowers aja dlm rm500. Sampai rumah dia dlm pukul 11.00am, then by 11.45 Xpin start make up. Pukul 1.30 abis, we all chow balik. Tak tunggu the majlis, sbbnye 1, we are not appropriately dress, tshirt dgn seluar aje, 2, we plan to melepak dkt Bukit Kayu Hitam pulak. wah.. hehehehe.
So we went to Bkt Kayu Hitam, the duty free shop is on sale! Wah, langkah kanan. Hehehe but didn't buy anything for myself except for 2 types of dark choclate, emm.. my favourite! (ni Balqis punya trade mark!) Bought a roller blade for Balqis for rm20 (after 50% dicount) + all the safety gears, including 1 set for Bazleen. We already have a pair of rollerskate back home, the one I bought for my younger sister when I came back from the states, err 12 years ago.. wow..! hahahaha. Still in good condition. Then bought a pluffy teaddy bear (rm12) for Bazleen (she got all fess up the day before, because I bought the frog only for Balqis) and that's just it. We headed back to Kangar and that night Zul bought 4 large pizzas for my cousins. (They can only afford to eat pizza when Zul is around, tidak tgk dari jauh aje la.)
Day 5 - Tuesday 16/10
Headed back to Kl around 11am.. and reached around 6pm. Singgah di Tapah (a must ni) for lunch etc.
We, especially the kids, had a wonderful time... yipee..
