Family get togethers

Yesterday we celebrated Eid Adha. Ja and EA went to Sec 14 mosque for their prayer. Then we had a simple breakfast of just nasi himpit, chicken and sayur jawa. Lisa and I went to TTDI market to get tempeh. Of course no longer available, it being the raya morning itself. However a friendly lady at a shop told us that there was also no tempeh on Thursday.. So, our sayur jawa was cooked minus that. It still turned out delicious, actually it smelt better too.

Kak Long, Azura and husband, Shah arrived at 5.00p.m. Abang Maulut could not make it, him being the surau ajk and waiting for the arrival of cows for Qurban session today. Then Hisham, wife Su and children, Helena Sophia and Hakim arrived. We served them Mi Bandung followed by Sagu and gula melaka for dessert. They left after the maghrib prayer. It was a good family get together albeit a small one at that.

I am never one for big gatherings. Small ones are cozier and easier to manage. It helps us to bond better. I like the fact that all of us can be involved in the same conversation and without having to jump from one table to another..

So today being Saturday, went back to bed after my Subuh prayer and finally got up again at 10.30a.m. Had brunch with Ja at our side patio then we played scrabble. Am having a break, Ja pi fetch Lisa and now am just waiting for them to do their Zohor prayer sebab Lisa nak main sekali...
