Italian Raya


How many days can you guys eat raya food? As in all day?

I can only stuff so many ketupats down my throat but I gave up on the evening of 2nd day of raya. Cannot lah, I mean I do love our traditional, festival, ahmayzing, delicious food but though I could give my tummy a little break.

Discussed with the family and I went to get something different for dinner.


Pizza Hut.

Hehe.

It was good.



Don't worry, I had ketupats the next day for breakfast.

1st Day


This year my raya was more....chillaxing. It was just eat, chill, eat, sleep, eat, eat, sleep. Everytime we have someone over I'll have a meal, so you can only imagine how I feel by the end of the day. I'm sure I'm not the only one..

Thank god my baju raya material was the stretchy kind. See, I thought about my food intake when I purchased it, haha. Good buy, Sharifah.

The Food :




The Not-So-Little Pei :

She wanted to put on make up so I rented her my make up and Stepmom styled her up. She's all grown up *tears*





We had a little picture moment while waiting for people to arrived...and before the make up all cair....





....and what's Raya without family selfie, no?



Selamat Hari Raya from all of us!!

Busy Ramadhan


Another month have passed without blogging. Wow.

A few months back, I had a long talk with Daddy about looking for another job, and after thinking it through, going back and forth, i decided to resign from my current job. Plus, Daddy even said  'Adik, you should just take some time of and just relax while looking for a new job (yeaaaah rigggghhhhtttttt! I'll tell you why in a second)'.

A couple days after puasa month started was my last day of work (woohoo!!!), and I was ready to play Candy Crush all day, I had my Keeping Up with the Kardashians all piled up waiting for me, my bed and pillow all fluffy....I was ready to enjoy my 'break'.

......boyyyyy was I wrong.......

Alright, if you hav'nt already know, Azrin and I have been selling Honey Kokoflakes Cookies prior to Raya every year for the past 4 years and this year we had to make the most cookies. Ever. Alhamdulillah. Thank you, customers!

Secondly, Stepmom decided to sell some food during this Ramadhan month somewhere in Hartamas, so I thought, since I'm not doing anything, I might as well lend a hand in between my Kardashian episodes, right?

Funny, Sharifah.

For a month, my daily schedule was roughly like this :

7.30pm - Buka puasa

10 pm - Bake Cookies

1 am - Pre-prepare food for the next day

3 am - Sahur

4 am -Sleep

10 am- Wake up

1 pm - Prepare food

3 pm - Set up stall (carry canopy, tables, chairs under hot sun while fasting and sit under heat in front of delicious food. All test from God)

6.45 pm - Clean up and close down stall

...and the cycle goes on....


No Candy Crush.

No Kardashians.

Heck, I hav'nt even had time to apply for jobs!!

...but it's ok, I am thankful that God gave me some extra rezeki on this beautiful month. It's been great. I am kinda sad that it is coming to an end. Last day of puasa. It's going to be Raya in a few hours time. See you next year, Ramadhan!!

Selamat Hari Raya guys! Maaf zahir and Batin. Have a Wonderful Raya!!
