Ramadhan in Miri

On the 8th day of Ramadhan, babah drove us all to Miri as he had to attend a function there on Sunday, 30th August. The timing was right, Parkson Miri was having grand sales for 3 days until 31 st of August and like usual it was extended and babah said they are still having the grand sales until Raya.It was a sunny day, and the fact that all of us only woke up after subuh did not help. Since that we were supposed to be extra hungry because of the travelling and stuff, mama suggested that we have our iftar or sungkei at Dynasty Hotel, but they were fully booked so we went to Everly instead. It was not that bad, I like their grilled seafood, lot of fish, tiger prawn, grilled lamb and lots more. Babah drank 3 glasses of air tebu and made his own ABC, of course it was a bad move as the drinks easily filled up his stomach. So he had to skip nasik.

We did a lot of shopping.. shoes, dresses, baju melayu etc.

grilled fish for 'sungkei' yummy..

let's go shopping maaa..

I've got what I need here..

Raya memories..

I don't expect much this hari raya, except that we will be back to kampung in Kuching & Kota Samarahan. Mama said maknek still hasn't finish with my baju raya and my hari raya shoe is no longer a kasut raya, at least that's what mama said because I had worn it once. I didn't know that kasut raya must only be worn on the first day of hari raya . Last year raya was forgetable.. don't get me wrong, actually I couldn't remember a thing. But I remember that the journey home was so tiring, or was it the journey back to Bintulu? Babah said, I was right because I was born in Bintulu so balik kampung for me is balik Bintulu but for mama & babah it is the other way round.

To help me remember, babah showed me photos taken last year and in the previous years.. but i like the ones I posted here..

this pic was taken in a boat tambang crossing Sg Bako, I wonder what was on Bg Harith's mind and Kak Neesa smiled all the way to Bako, probably anticipating all the duit raya she would collect while bg baby is his usual self.. control hensem

Bg Joe, Kak Natasha and Bg Baby, before they become MTB hardcore..

Bg Haikal.. showing off his duit raya..

Kak Natasha.. happy as she can be..

Kak Dira, Kak Yani & Kak Sofia.. they are best friends born 6 months within each other
in this photo, err I have not seen anyone celebrate hari raya with shotgun before.. they could be from Palestine or Labenon or something..Kak Qis's hair got blown away by huge fan mak long put at ruang tamu of their house.. that's probably the reason maklong installed an aircondand this is a photo of mama & babah while waiting for first guest of their open house two years back..
