raya in plymouth

i know i know its a loooooooong overdue post :p at first i was kinda lazy to do post this but then i figured, this is my last raya here in the uk and i want to have a memory of it in writing, despite raya being over and all :p

first of all, raya here in plymouth was on friday, where as malaysia was on saturday kan? funny thing was, leeds and above celebrated eid on saturday and london and south west below did it on friday, which is weird satu negara pun boleh lain2 hari..anyway i was at work when mr pic called to say "esok raya!", and i was like, "wat?? really??" baju raya pun tak sampai lagi masa tu and we havent got anything prepared! suffice to say, first day tu we didnt do a single thing an the real celebration was only on saturday :p

this year, me and hafiz, kak eton and family and kak mal and family decided to have a combined open house, held at our place. raya tahun nie busy busy busy, much much better than last year, if u guys remember my pathetic post raya blog in big yellow taxi, this year i was determined not to have the same raya again hehe..so the celebration started first at house house, we have our open house on saturday at 2pm, then petang tu another open house at 6pm and the next day we got two open houses oso, heh saper cakap raya kat uk tak meriah? (^_^) so here are the picture of the raya celebration :p

note : the pictures are a bit berterabur, i dah pening nak susun tapi got description underneath so u guys can follow one, okay? :p


this is at kak ad's house, dr adlinda's house to be exact, she bought this flat last year i think and its really really gorgeous, she's a specialist in cancer, oncologist (i think spelling betul tak?) so sangat terrerrr oo and dah pr pun dia kat uk ni hehe at her house we had briyani and kuah lodeh and my favourite, sambal ikan bilis nyumm! and she makes really heavenly cookies as well! and then we have tea in ehem2 royal doultons kayyyyyyyy hehehe :p


ni kat rumah dr azley, the guy in the glasses kat belakang skali tu, he is a neurologist consultant :) im so proud of malaysians doctors yang ade kat sini, semua genius2 seh but sayang tak berkhidmat kat malaysia, guess to each his/her own la kan? the boys decided to do it malaysian style here, apar tikar and lepak at his huge 2 storey bungalow's backyard, kat sini we had nasi tomato and ayam bakar/percik and acar buah :p
