This year I celebrated Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Gombak. Danial got time off, which was great. We didn't go back to Danial's hometown because I'm due in two weeks and I did not want to risk having the delivery on the way or in Alor Setar. It's probably the last raya that I'll be celebrating in Malaysia as I will be going to Melbourne in a few months. It was great fun because everyone was around on the 1st of Syawal. Lots of good food to eat and got to snap a few nice pics. I didn't get a new baju kurung or kebaya as I'm really huge and don't see the point of buying since I'll only be able to use it once. I actually found one that I could fit into. It's a yellow batik baju kurung which I had since I was in Form 3. Was I that huge back then???

Around noon the whole family headed to Setapak to pay a visit to Nenek's brother. His wife is my late Atuk's sister. The older group aka my mum, aunts and uncles got to catch up with the relative while the younger group aka myself, Danial and cousins stuffed our faces yet again. I guess that's what Raya is all about.
