Hari Raya Kedua

Wah this morning ahir sikit bangun cos smlm ahir balik. I woke up 10.30am atupun bcos my mom riuh2..hehehe..ikutkan hati kan tidur plg lagi. After I showered, tarus pakai baju raya cos today we were going to adi beradi my dad since it is his off day today. Our 1st stop was at Bungsu who lives in Selayun. Dekat ja dgn our house. Before jalan, sampat gi tu snap pix of our living room..heheh..decors ilham my sis n mom. This year my sis byk belanja for our living room. Maklum lah for how many years udah asyik sama ja sofa n curtains nya. So tahun ani everything tukar to look modern contemporary.

Fresh new look

After dari bungsu, we went to our house in Delima cos parents nak beraya to the inlaws. By noon we zoomed to Lambak Kanan arah my Tua. Taruslah jua arah my aunty (mom's cousin) and then arah dad's cousin. After that we went to Salambigar to my other bungsu's house..btw this bungsu n my bungsu in Selayun tadi are twin sisters. But they don't look the same. Mcm bukan twins..hehe..

Band of brothers

Time was now 4.30pm. We had 1 last house lagi kan di aga arah my amit but he wasnt home so we decided to go home. Atleast dapat rest skajap before going back to Bungsu di Selayun again cos ada makan2 sikit sal bungsu laki kan fly off to UK lusa. He'll be away for 5months. The makan2 pun tarus jua for my bro cos ia pun kan balik UK on the 25th for his final year.

From tangah's house we zoom straight back to my house. By then it was already 12noon. After salam my mom & siblings, hubs n I went to my uncle's house (behind our house). Again arah my uncle pun openhouse jua. After that rehat2 while waiting for my dad back from work. Kesian my dad, 1st day raya ia kraja morning shift..takpelah end of the year krg ia kan cuti bersara..syoknyer..hahaha..datang ja my dad around 3.30pm, we all then went to Kg Danau in Tutong, beraya arah family mom side. Yang kan di aga sana 4 houses ja..nasib baik lah semua berjiran so jalan kaki ja. 1st house di aga arah rumah Dadih (mom's eldest bro),pastu arah nini (sebelah rumah) n then arah Bu Ayang my mom's sister (seberang jalan) n then rumah nini amit (1 house away from Bu Ayang) n then back to Dadih's cos we parked our cars there.

Nda putus2 org dtg to Dadih's house so we helped Jojo to sediakan minuman for the guests. After Isyak we then zoom to Lumut.

Last stop was at my aunt's (dad's sister) pukul 11.30pm barutah kami balik..12.30am sampai rumah..phew..what a day..tired berabis.

HaRi RaYa PerTaMa...part 1

Adui bisingnya bunyi alarm hp hubby ani..but the hubby is still asleep. Atukan nyaring bunyi alarm next to his ears pun nda ia tebangun..ish..last2 I still have to wake him up. Looked at the time..6.30am..Not long after that, bro inlaw knocked on the door kan banguni jua. Hubs woke up and showered whilst I dozed back off sambung my beauty sleep..heheh..still ngantuk ler cos smlm kan ahir tidur.

At 7.15am, my alarm pun nyanyi2 tia jua..ala skajap jua masa atu. 5 more minutes la..hahaha..but at 7.30 I could already hear Babu (mom inlaw) riuh2 trying to wake us girls up..tarus me bungkas bangun. Before babu knock on my door, baiktah bangun sendiri..heehee..I made the bed, grabbed my towel and mandi. By the time I was out from the shower, durang hubby pun balik udah. I then put on my makeup, slipped into my new baju raya..aisehwah..and went downstairs pakai tudong.

siap ada makeup artist lagi

After we were all done lawa2..chantek2 belaka..hehehe..we all pun salam Babu & Bapa before going off to nini bini's house (hub's grandmother) which is just 1 house away..ala jalan kaki jer. By 10am everyone came..all dad inlaw's siblings. Ada bacaan tahlil n doa selamat sikit and then it was time for makan..yayyy..there was satay, mee goreng, ayam goreng..ish byk la..all nyaman2 belaka..heheh..n ofcos I ate alot of the kek roll Tapak Kuda..favourite x ah ;p

After beraya at nini bini's house, we then went to tangah's house (Babu's sister) in Lambak Kiri. Sana pun openhouse jua but I didn't eat cos was still full from nini tadi. Lagipun nak save some space cos gerenti every house yg kan di aga later ada openhouse. Biasalah kan 1st day raya..hehe..

hmmm..mcm APEC lah pulak

ochoo ochoo

Last night the gang had sahur at Le Stadium Restaurant. Session started at 10.30pm til 1am..Arif & Mas finally joined us smlm. Hubs and I didnt join last week's sahur at Cheezbox cos me demam teruk. Smlm pun I was down with flu again. Before jalan I was feeling fine but then I started sneezing and it didn't stop, in the end selsema lah. Didn't really enjoy my food after that cos of my runny nose..hmm..

Hubs and I left early lastnyt. We went to withdraw at the ATM dulu since it was payday. All kadai in Brunei were jammed pack with people doing last minute Hari Raya shopping. Hajat hati kan pay our bills mlm ani but...nah...not a good idea tonight..hehe..terlalu ramai org..batah2 kan cari parking lagi..

Matched it with the tudongs I bought..Syukur matching colornya..hehehe...mun nda, nangis x eh ;p

Pose @ NBT

Last night hubs & I went shopping abit at Hua Ho Manggis. After that we decided to go and see the Hari Raya decor at NBT Toyota in Gadong. Byknya org disana..all came with one purpose..to take pix with the very grand decor at the NBT hill. Kudos to the NBT marketing team!! Lawa decor durang for the Hari Raya. They never fail to impress us. I remembered going there a couple of years ago. It was New Years eve and the display that time was glam abis with Santa Claus and the Snowman..and yea the reindeers too..Chinese New Year pun sama juanya..very the Lawa...
