Eid Mubarak This Year

Hari Raya is just around the corner. About a week from today, the celebration day after a-month fasting in Ramadhan should be celebrated in the right manner and full of gratefulness to Him.

This year I’ll be celebrating the Eid with my wife family at kampong Kanchong Darat, just like the rest previous 22 years. What do you expect~ My parents come from kampong side by side, and my home is situated at my emak’s kampong, which accidently had been the kampong in which my abah was raised up. It was after moving to Kuantan that I actually felt the sense of “balik kampong”. Huhu~

This year, since I’ve added the list of my personal recipes with new ones, so I guess I’d like to cook again this time during the hari raya. But I am yet to ask permission from my parents. Huhu~ Those who intend to come to my house, please inform me a day early so that I can prepare something for you. Choose any of these:

• Szakif’s Pie
• Szakif’s Popia
• Szakif’s Fried Fettuccine
• Szakif’s Bread Popia
• Spaghetti Bolognaise
• Pizza

Usually every year my home will be the center for gathering of grandsons and granddaughters of Nenek Siti, my grandmother who lives with my family. And that haven’t included my abah’s siblings. They are 16 of them you know! Hari Raya will be the most awaited day every year since it’ll be the time to meet relatives and friends and to reconnect and refresh the bond among us.

Ok. The most expected statement for the hari Raya will be: “Eh, Zaki dah kurus!” Huhu~
And the most unexpected will be: “Eh, baju raya tahun lepas la! Haha!”
