Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Hari Raya is here! We are celebrating our raya in the resort as afafa has to work. Afafa said he is sad because this year he still has to work and could not go back to his kampung during hari raya. 
These photos are taken in the evening shortly before we went out for dinner. We did not wear our baju kurung in the morning as it was raining quite heavily...so mom dressed me in my new jeans and blouse for raya breakfast. Mom was sad that we did not get to eat raya food in the morning, only after mid-morning we get to eat lemang, ketupat palas, satay and rendang. 
In the evening there was a barbeque at the resort but still not much of raya food. Mom said it would be nice to eat lontong or laksa johor. We don't feel much like hari raya here, everyone is busy working...how sad. It was a gloomy raya with the rain and all...the only nice thing was that we are all together and I actually get some duit raya! 
SELAMAT HARI RAYA

EleFriends

These are the elephants of Kuala Gandah, we went to Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary on our way back from abang's school in Raub. We passed the junction to this place on our way back to Terengganu and afafa decided we could take a look at the place..wow! It's another 10 km drive away from the junction but it was worth it! The elephants are placed in a well kept garden and they are well taken care of. Mom says it's good to see the handlers are not using sharp object on the elephants. This place is under Malaysia Wildlife Department and there are many elephants there! I saw 3 baby elephants bathed in the nearby river and later we were allowed to feed them bananas and peanuts. We can also bathe with the elephants but afafa said since this is a fasting month and we still have long way to go we shall do this some other time. I had great fun, later we went to Deerland to see the deers and sun bears but the place is closed on friday...hmmm..I guess Meow had to wait for our next visit to Raub before she could see her other friends.

Heart Desire

I love drawing and one day I want to be a painter and have my own gallery. My mom has promised to enrol me into an art class when I am 7 years old so that I can learn more about drawings and paintings.

Hiatus

A month passsed since my last entry. Where have I been? Everywhere! I shall write on this in my next posting. I miss writing in my blog but mom always come up with excuses not to write.

Wedding..again

More photos from the wedding: here the couple are wearing purple for the majlis in Kuala Terengganu. I am wearing a pretty baju kurung that matches mom's. Mak Teh wears a beautiful long lace dress, I love the trimmings on her dress.
 

Mom's family: her aunt nenek ajib, mokti, aman, mom's cousins ancik dadan, uncle shahrul, mama eza n adik nadia.

 

Here comes the bride...

Mak Teh's big day is finally here...we are all gathered at nenek's house for the wedding. Even atuk's families from Johor are here, all my other younger neneks and atuks, not to mention countless aunties and uncles! But the best thing is I get to see kakak bila, abang abil, natrah & adik nadia who come all the way from Melaka.

Luckily my afafa get a few days leave so it's more fun for me having him around. Everyone is so busy with things...which I don't know what..well..to occupy our time mom puts on 613 for us. I think it's more like to ensure we won't disturb her or other adults! We watched TV and played to our hearts content...I like this wedding..

Mak Teh looks so pretty in her wedding dress, she wears cream colored baju kurung for the akad nikah and later changed into brown dress with lots of bling bling for the photo session. All of us are wearing brown..which is a source of joke for mom and mak teh as they are calling each other 'brown cow'..well looks like the pot is calling the kettle black! (don't know if I got this right or the other way round).

If u see in the picture, I am sitting right next to a hantaran..a sireh junjung without the junjung! I  love the way they do up this particular hantaran and my mak teh has generously give this to me!!! I know marriage is good for her...I can use this as house for my pet shops..how they'll love their new glittery and glamorous home...thanks mak teh, you're the best.

Mak Teh: A New Beginning

So much kecoh2 lately revolving around Mak Teh..suddenly all the attentions are centred around her..hmmh! Her big day is drawing near and everybody is concerned about her hantaran, her dresses even to the deco of her boudoir! My grandparents are sure very excited as they get to organise another wedding...the last wedding in the family was 7 years ago! How do I feel???..hard to say..excited?? irritated?? Mak Teh has been pestering me to say out loud to her and everyone the name of her groom...why should I? I am sure everyone is aware of the name...you don't marry someone with no name, right? I don't want to tell!!!

Today we went to see Mak Teh's new school...yes..she is coming back to setlle down in terengganu. I don't know the school's name but it is sure is far and away...let's just say the school is nestled in a lush green forest (another word for dalam hutan!). Mak Teh is supposed to see the person in charge to report duty but there was nobody there.So off we go..back to nenek's home and 613!!!!

It seems that Mak Teh has a lot to do in such a short period...all the best in your new endeavours...

Remember...when the going gets tough, the tough goes shopping!!!
