Assalamualaikum!
Alhamdulillah, our Eid celebration went really well. We totally enjoyed ourselves from 1st until 4th of Syawal. We went out visiting friends until late night and friends coming visiting us at home. We feel blessed. :)
On the 1st Syawal, after hubby returned from Eidulfitr prayer at the local mosque, Masjid Al-Taqwa, we all had our Eid breakfast shortly. The special menu was of course Nasi Impit, beef rendang, chicken curry, and lodeh..our favourite traditional menu during the eidulfitr. Simple je.. ;)
Then afterwards we had a brief photo shoot at home sweet home! :)
We put on the previous raya apparel that my mom's sent which we wore only once and not during the 1st of Syawal (as it arrived late and still looking very new :P) Actually my mom did sent all of us beautiful abayas from Mekah for this Eid but only me who wear it because the temperature that day was high so I'd thought the others will not be comfortable in it for the whole day..For me, I wore it just because to be matching with hubby dearie who wore his black baju melayu again. hehehe..
This year for the first time, we went to Rumah Malaysia's open house at central London. We arrived as early as at 1.00pm but we took about half an hour finding the available parking. We parked our car quite far from Rumah Malaysia and we gotta walk there few blocks away..quite a distance until we gotta used mobile gps to find he house too! Lol..what an experience! But all of us just relaxed and enjoyed the walk with other Malaysians. ;) And mind you, we also kinda had a photo shoot at the roadside on the way back..which we will not definitely do it if we are in Malaysia. :P
Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics!

Only at 8pm, we left their house at West London heading to East London. But our eid still not done yet because we had an invitation at Kak Ana's place in Stratford. ;) But we went there after we prayed Maghrib at home first and managed to bring some beef rendang there. Malu plak ai nak datang dengan tangan kosong je kan. hee..
 |
| some of the yummy foods at kak Ana;s |
 |
| with the happy go lucky host, kak Ana or kids called her Mummy Na |
 |
| hubby with abg Manap before leaving..mesti bwk balik 'bontrot' punye!! :D and in this pic, you see hubby had changed to wear his new jubah that my mom sent..:) (even handsome as wear baju melayu kan! hehehe ;)) |
We arrived there at 10pm and left only after mid night. Sakan beraya! :D but too bad we did not managed to take a lot of photos there since Zafri had lack of sleep hence cranky. Most of the time i was in Kak Anas's doter's room to calm him..as i'm sure he's already exhausted by the time..it's past his bedtime already so he need his bed badly..so it's time to go home. hehe.
Again, Eid Mubarak everyone! Hopefully you enjoy your Eid too! :)
Wassalam.
