Three days till raye and the raye frenzy is kicking in full gear.the frenzy here does not and will never refer to the excitement of nk beraye kat perantauan but the utter despair and gut wrenching sickness in the pit of my stomach That i have everytime anything reminds me that i will not be with my family raye ni-skyped ngan umi xdi and bertambah lah lg ke frenzian kpale ku.saw umi and nad's batch of kueh raye-looked pretty good but made umi janji yg die xkan buat kueh arab until I balek-so basically it'll be kueh arab utk raye haJI..lOL..a hillarious rmedy to my yearning for home is kisah nad and her so called biskut raye aspirations-

for those who do not know who nad is -she is my annoying yet tolerable sister-nadiah hani bnt hussein-used to call her nerd tp she was annoyed so I changed It to nad tho i cud have come with a btter nickname-nadiyot,yot ke.lol.aneways

tahun ni sempena ketiadaan I kat umah tu and no one to boss her around she got the idea that it wud be fantastic to buat kueh raye sorang2-me n my mom can never trust her cookIng ways so she decided to buat chocalate chip cookies without my mom's hawk eyes.my mom bangun dr a nap and saw her working on the cookie dough gune resipi kawn bek die-sO she did-and everyone else was like wow-nad-ur actually not hopeless.or so they thought(my famly is so easy to believe in change especially when it comes to nadiah changing, I for one am not>>lol)

aneways,bile balek trawekh,my sibs and parents pon dgn excited nye mengtry all de cookies dey made tengah haritu and when it came to nad's biscuit,bee was really tamak and took two.stuffed it in his mouth and spat it back"erm,kueh masen ke nI?"angah who didnt believe bee took a bite and spat it with more rigour and so did mY parents-lol,de red faced nad said"achik ltak 3 table spooon salt jer" and they started laughing at her-lol...dear gullible sister-u dont put three spoon of salt in a cookie batch-i guess she must have messed it uP with three pinch or sumthing>so now we have three balang of choc chip cookies that no one will touch-well done nad-wish I was there tho-its not quite sO fun laughing at her thru skYpe.loL.

its all for now i guess,kna g siap nk bukak pose kat suriani since we ran out of ayam and beras-two main things for any malaysian meaL..hehe..till then.
and before i forget >>slamat ari raye maaaf zahir batIN to anyone and everyone reading

toodles

7 hari sebelum raye..

what do ppl call the 7 days before raye?the hari likur likat or somethinG?for my sake lets call it the closing days of ramadhan>>>ramadhan this year has undeniably been beautifuL>>i mean de bond between every one in Auckland(HUia especiallY) is really evident and sometimes I really do bliV that ramadhan brings out the best in everyone-everyone-everyone.

Raya feelings shud b here by now but feeling totally subdued-maybe its de lack of raya preperations here.de mid sem holiday is coming to an end and am really proud to say that I did nothing exciting or near exciting whatsoever in the past two weeks.all i did was dream and dream and dream .skali skale adela nigtmare-huahahhaa...

Today bukak pose yg agak best and I think we have outdone ourself.like literally-its so menghairankan knape kalau x bulan pose,we make do with really lazy cooking but bile bulan pose ni,we cook like its the end of the world,or de end of food as we know it tomorrow.kalau mkn utk 4 orang,masak utk like 20 ppL-dets what u call tamak haloba(I think thats what u call it kan?)>>aneways,menu today was sup tUlang(panas and pedas-a very good combination),stir fried veges and telUr dadar.for those yg ckp,hekler,lauk tu jer nk kecoh-lauk aku time malas gle rtuh-well ,To u I say it is a kejayaan for us so shut up and let me do my victory dance aneways

and we berempat(me,farah,mun and hanI) buat butter cake_ and the best part is,it was actually pretty good.de kueh's we've tried to do like butir nangka and bubur cha cha though not to say they were disasterous could just be classified as okeyla,boleh makan.but dis cake was beautiful.wanted to weep and cry and hug dis butter baby we made-terharu sgt.hahaha...

owh,7 days lg nk raye-now plizzzzzzzzzzz,tell me what to do utk rase cam even a bit pon xcited nk raye cos im desperate here-just dont suggest lagu raye cos all it does is make me cry and crave for home all the more-huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

and an early eid mubarak shoutout

slamat ari raye aidilfitir-maaf zahir dan batiN-
