Well, putting the dramas aside, my first Syawal was splendid. Most of my relatives are away; some are in Melaka, Kelantan & etc. It felt a little quite but those who are there definitely made it happening. Woke up late, thus I missed the Raya prayers. Got ready and well, to granny's we go!
My family usually visits my dad's side first, but this time around we went to my mum's. Stayed there from 10am til Zuhr. I don't even remember eating that much. In fact, half of my memories there feels like a blank. I think I spent most of the time talking and hearing about the dramas that I couldn't care less about.
Well, what I love about being at my granny's is that she cooks so much! The Cambodian & Vietnam dishes are mandatory and those are the food that makes my tummy happy.
"I bought 10kg of chicken and I reserved 4kg just for you two."
That is what she said to my two chicken lover brothers. It made them so happy cause granny was on their side when my mum was constantly babbling; asking them to stop.
Since I am closer to my mum's side of the family, time flies fast. Like I said, I don't even remember what I did there. I think most of my time spent watching kids running around and casually eying on this one fat baby. He kept on walking up and down the stairs and it was just adorable! Like a real life baby panda.
Off we go! This time to my dad's side.
My Wan's tiny house was filled with family members and the conditioner wasn't working! I ended up lepaking in my Wan's room cause the air conditioner was working. Being the close siblings we are, when one of us was in Wan's room, everyone ended up there and we just talked when we can actually do it at home.
I feel like I am not close to daddy's side of the family because of the age gap. Most of them are in primary school. Well, my dad has 9 brothers and a sister. Of course the age gaps will be huge. But I feel happy cause this time around I actually get to talk to my tiny cousins when I don't even know their names! It is the ugly truth people. I bet they don't even know my name too. Well, enough nagging. Here are some pictures!
Oh and I didn't eat the lontong at Wan's house. I'm regretting it now. Ugh Shafieza !
