this was a festive month here in malaysia. we had our eid - hari raya, national day and malaysia day all within 3 weeks. our eid or hari raya is same routine each year. since i still live with my parents, my siblings and their family will come visit us on the first day of hari raya around 11am.
my mum would have prepared a feast that consumed all her time and energy two weeks before (bless her) and i would be asked to make some cakes and cupcake (much easier task than cooking malay traditional food) for the brunch/lunch.
everybody would come dressed in their new clothes. festive and colourful, even the menfolk will make some effort. after our lunch and catch up, the children will receive money packets duit raya from the parents and grand parents, and then the whole family will be cam-whoring away! enjoy our hari raya family album!
and some pictures from my guest photographers my niece and nephew, adam and maya. enjoy the extreme close ups! lol
eventhough hari raya can be a repeat, almost routine like each year, i wouldn't change it one bit.
