Eid ul adha everyone

The cold and windy air are here as the sign of winter is approaching. The icy weather makes our skin dried and scaly. For my son, he always has a sign of an eczema on his legs so before the itchiness is unbearable, I keep applying emollient to moist his skin, though for this morning I have forgotten to do so. He came to me while scratching his body and said, 'mama itchy'. Thus, I took a tube of lotion and applied onto his skin. Suddenly, out of the blue, he said, ' thank you, it fells better'. I was like when on earth did he learn about feeling etc. I guess the programmed from tv has taught him so much. Maybe it seems cliche for some parents, but for me it something to be proud of plus, the development of each kid is not at the same pace. ;-) Anyway, salam aidiladha to all muslims out there. 10 zulhijjah = 6th November 2011. Maaf zahir and batin.

Backdated entry about Eid ul fitri 2010

We have celebrated Eid ul Fitri at Embassy of Malaysia in Brussels. A day before the Eid, we went off to one of embassy staff and overnight at her house. The celebration was wonderful with mouth watering foods and drinks. I have taken some pictures, so here they are..





I only selected three from one album in my facebook.

Rejoice!

Against the clock

Tick tock tick tock..The mouse run up the clock..the clock turn one, the mouse run down..Ok it is not funny.

The time shows half past twelve. I just have a couple of hours before going out and heading to Brussels. We are going to overnight at my friend's house before taking a taxi to the airport in the very early morning tomorrow.

Now, I am in the midst of preparing our stuffs. My head is haywired with all the 'pack -light way'.Finishing the food and clothes to be brought are a race against the clock.

Anyway, Salam Aidiladha and maaf zahir batin to all..

Salam Aidilfitri 20092009

Salam Aidilfitri dan maaf zahir batin dari kami sekeluarga..

Eid's Stories

After being quite a while stopping from blogging…I now have a few more ideas to update my blog. Before that, I want to wish Salam Aidiladha to all my Muslims friends and family and hope we will be a better person from year to year. Our Eid celebration was not so bad at all, it was superb and great!!!!!! A day before Eid, we packed our bag and went off to take the train and headed to Brussels. We stayed overnight at one of the Embassy’s officer, En Adnan and his wife Pn. Nurul. They both such a very lovely and nice people. Very nice indeed. They made us lost the ‘segan silu’ thingy when we were there. Our earlier planned was to catch a bus from the Metro station to their house, but they insisted to collect us at the Metro station. So we were too thankful for that and ‘segan sebenarnya’.hehhehe.. Then En Adnan droved us to their house. What a massive and a nice house they have. Yes..Yes I know that the Malaysian Government house but whose care? Now they live in the house so the house is theirs...hahaha...Since we stepping our feet in theirs, En Adnan’s wife, Nurul has started cooked a few dishes as a pre celebration. After cooking, we ate together with another embassy families that came to join the ‘makan2’.

I ate a lot. Part of the menu’s were, ‘masak lemak cili padi ikan talang’, ‘ikan bakar air asam’, ‘kari ikan merah’, and plenty more to list down. We were talking, eating, laughing and bla2..until12pm. Then we off to bed to take a better rest before tomorrow long day’s activities.

In the early morning, we woke up and get ready for ‘sembahyang raya’ at the embassy. The first time ever after 3 years I celebrated Eid properly with the ‘takbir raya’ and ‘solat raya’. It was so lovely and nice to join the activities. After ‘solat raya’ we headed to the ground floor for ‘jamuan raya’. I was so happy to fulfill my cravings for kuew teow kerang ..hhahahaa..There was plenty of dishes like, nasi himpit, rendang, fried vermicelli, apple pie and plenty more. Again, I made myself full for the whole day by eating like pig..hehhehe..

In the afternoon we return to En adnan's with our friends , before going to Cik Jamaliah house in the evening.Cik Jamaliah is one of the embassy staff also. Before that, once again we were having another serving at En. Adnan’s house. Bubur kacang, nasi daging, keropok goreng, biscuits and plenty of foods to choose from.After talking and eating, we off to Cik Jamaliah’s house for another food festival..hehhhee.. When I was there, I have already full so I just ate laksa and serawa durin. The foods were soo good to be wasted off. So again, I fill in my full stomach ..until burppppp…haahaha..

At 10pm..Most of the guests were heading off home and one more time we felt so ‘terharu’ and ‘terkejut’ because suddenly, En adnan and Nurul were offering to drive us back to Liege in the middle of the night. I told them Brussels – Liege was not so near. It almost 90km for one way. But they insisted! So with the guilty feeling we agree to be droved off back home, even we felt so pity to both of our hosts. Yela, depa dah la penat masak bagi kami makan..and penat dengan aktiviti seharian tetiba nak anta kami balik pulak..huhuhu..So there we were, hitting the road heading to Liege. We arrived at Liege at almost 11 pm in the night. After talking and drinking two cups of coffee they went off back to Brussels…Oh my…To En Adnan and Nurul…thankssssssssss a lot k..Next time kami datang lagi..both of you such a very nice person indeed!!!!!!!!Kami terhutang budi banyak je rasa,,huhuhu,,but we are glad to join the Eid celebration and I am full of happiness until now…hahahhaa..

salam aidiladha

walaupun aku malas..aku nk wish salam aidiladha..utk semua..maaf zahir batin..sedapnya makan daging korban..huhuhuh

Antwerpen Open house

Natrah and I, thanks to abg mazli for the pic above

Yes, I was feeling knackered but full of joys, right after coming back from the open house in Antwerp. We went there in the early morning and met the others Malaysian in Belgium at Antwerp Central train station. Our big agenda before going to the open house was stopping at the two bargain shops to take a look around and maybe buy something if we fancy it. (Oh..yes, for pretty sure we bought something at those two shops!) It was soo good to walk around in the town with our bunch of friends. To share the tales, stories and stupid jokes while talking and laughing. After sightseeing and shopping, we headed to Abang Mazli House to fill in our stomach that were rumbling like hell. Even we had difficulties to step in our feet in the house (since there were soo many people), but it was worth it when we were serving with plenty of nice and tasty foods like soto, hainan chicken rice, nasi lemak and etc. Well, hope next year Eid is merrier than this year, like the proverb says"the more the merrier!"...hahaha..Very nice day indeed!

Lets all these pics talk for themselves..
