Home for Raya...


Great to be back home and smelling in all the wonderful and yummy wafts of cookies baking in the oven.
Now it sinks in....the fasting month and the upcoming Eid!
Nothing like being home with all the folks at home gathering together to break fast and feasting in the goodies together.
And the kids have the best time i suppose....brings to mind the good times i had as a kid in a close knit extended family where there was always tons of cousins to hang out with and ah, the night before Eid is the best!
Decorating the whole house with greeting cards, ribbons, and arranging the chairs,tables,couches and sofas so that the next day after the morning prayers we could start having visitors for the 'open house' which is uniquely a Malaysian concept....
This year Eid is going to be different i guess.....celebrating it with friends away from home and would be celebrating Diwali as well.Hope it's fun!
