#1 - Our First Raya

Assalamualaikum.

How's your raya? Mine was good. This year is the first I celebrate Raya as a wife so obviously a lot of things that I looked forward to but there are also things that I overlooked and taken for granted. Anyhow, I take that as a learning point for me.

This year, the honour was given to me to celebrate our first Hari Raya with my family. One whole week!

As usual, on the first day of Raya we headed to my Uncle's house in Ampang Jaya. Then, off to my relatives on my father's side. This year, we covered a lot of houses. Like a lot. So by the time we reached home something after 9pm, we were all exhausted and already had enough of raya delicacies.

The next morning, we packed our stuff and ready for our Northern trip. We made a stop at Perak to drop by at my aunt's house. Instead of the normal ketupat, lemang, rendang, she served us with kampung dishes. YUMMY!

After that, we were off to Sg. Petani to Angah's house. He planned a barbeque session for that night. All fun fun fun for us. I hope En. Suami had a great a time too, especially this is his first time away from family during hari raya.

And like the previous years, we headed to Penang for our little family getaway. We stayed at one of the rented apartments in Batu Feringghi. We went to Feringghi Walk that night for some "serious" shopping. The next day, while waiting for En. Suami performed his Jumaat prayer, we had laksa penang at a hawker stall next to the floating mosque. That was the best laksa penang I ever tasted. After everyone's had their lunch, we went to Butterfly Farm.

The sure place sure brings a lot of memories to us because our late father always bring us there. So it was nice to share the memory with En. Suami. Then, in the late evening, we went to beach. Again, it was nice to be by the beach. I wish I could have the opportunity everyday.

After 2 days in Penang, it's time to head back to KL.

It was a nice to have a chance to create new memories every year. Alhamdulillah.

Till then, peeps.
