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..
