Two more days to raya and preparations are under way to greet the festivity. Have been at mom's since Saturday (FYI my mom's place is just 10 minutes away from mine) and helping out where I could. Some parts of the old house is being repainted (still in progress and it's less than 48 hours till Eid!!)
The girls are having fun offering to help this and that. Nak tolong ini, nak tolong itu...
Misha & Maira 'helping' to fill up the 'lil 'pond' @ Wak Mi's...
My BIL came over yesterday to pick up some things and brought along his cucus, Aiman and Lisa. The kids begged to stay the night and hang out with their aunties (hehe). They are a boisterous lot!! The kids had fun playing some bunga api...
I spent two very productive hours yesterday morning at Jalan TAR searching for tudungs. I say productive because I manage to get all the colours I wanted (well, almost). Buying tudung to match the shade of your outfits sound trivial, but percayalah, it can be such a chore and so meletihkan... so happy I completed the 'chore' yesterday!!
It will be a busy time @ mom's today -- nak kopek bawang etc to make rendang (thank God for bibik!), wash all the cookie canisters, more of mengemas rumah and all the raya preparation thingy... I have been trying to occupy my time with all sorts of activities sebab dalam hati ni... asyik terkenang si dia... every minute.
I am putting focus on making the girls happy throughout this holiday... it should be a happy time for them and I will try not to nag (ooopppss...suddenly I remembered they didn't do their Kumon worksheets yesterday!! nak kena nag ni!! hehe). Maira!!! Misha!!!

maira --> your raya card dah hantar sekali ngan misha tau!!!
Keep yourself busy, dear. But if you need to cry, go on... no one will fault you.
Selamat Hari Raya!
Hi MHB,
I'm nice to see your girls looking happy helping out at your mom's place. I'm sure it will be a raya memory they'll not forget.
Like MrsN said cry if you want too. Don't keep all the emotions bottled up inside. It's not good for you. Once you've done that, I hope you'll stay strong and will enjoy raya as much as you possibly can.
Sad though it may be, I still hope you and the girls will have a wonderful raya together. Selamat Hari Raya, MHB.
Best, best...samalah kita...kampung 'sepelaung' aje jauhnya! Still, it's the kids yang meriahkan suasana, kan?
Tak apa terkenangkan si dia. I yang dok tengok my si dia mengemas sakan ni pun, rasa sebak..dalam hati asyik berkata, what will I do without you? Take care,sis and please, cry if you must. Hugs.
p/s nanti time kopek bawang, jom pakat 'nangis' ramai2!! Hilang sikit jiwang kita ni kan? he he
daybab -- Maira was upset how come Misha je dapat kad raya... posmen makan kot, kad tu!! hehe
mrsnordin -- thanks, mrN...
Selamat Hari Raya to you too!!
MTT -- thanks for the kind words... I want the girls to just be happy this raya, that's all... mommy will have to be strong and cheery (and only cry when she's alone). Tak pe... I'll be fine ;-)
You have a wonderful raya too, k? MrS balik fourth raya, kan? ;-)
ms hart -- memang dekat sangat 'kampung' I ni... dalam sejam boleh ulang-alik 2-3 kali kalau tertinggal barang ke apa ke... ;-)
Yup, I guess both of us found the love of our lives... syukur to HIM. Tho' he's no longer beside me, hati masih berbunga-bunga when I think of him and for that I am glad. Alhamdulillah...
U have a wonderful raya!
myheartbleeds, im a silent reader..i link urs to mine..hope its ok..selamat hari raya!!
My do'a for Allah SWT to give you strength this raya, but, cry if you must. Okay, dear?
Your girls look so happy and so ceria, and berkobar-kobar nak sambut raya. Rajinnya nak menolong Mama and Wan, ya? If anak-anak I - adoi...letih nak menyuruh!
It really warms and touches my heart reading the part that hati you "masih berbunga-bunga" for Arwah :)
Here's wishing you and anak-anak a Joyous Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin.
Take care.
iza -- sure, sis... you have a wonderful Raya too!! ;-)
wanshana -- thanks for the wishes...
hmmmm... my kids kecik lagi, you think when they become teenagers masih berkobar2 nak tolong mommy tak?? ;-) while they WANT to help, I biar je lah... tapi kengkadang bukannya menolong (you know what I mean!!)
Yes, I am still so much in love with my late hubby... he's my one and only, insya-Allah...
I'd like to wish you and your beautiful family a Happy Raya too!! Enjoy yourselves!!
