Eid With My Sons...

Eid this year was a first of many.... it was a difficult decision to not be with Azlan on Eid but considering most of my time >99% with him than we consider it is ok for this time... Ayman just started at KBU and although he has 1 week break..Adzrul only got the first day off... Since in Dhahran..we do celebrate eid the whole month due to weekends only and puasa 6... I bought a ticket for me & Zayd to spend Eid with the boys..Azlan&Hannah has already lined up the invitations from the nite before raya onwards..Thanks to wonderful friends who include them in the Eid breakfast...

Although..I did not manage to cook anything at Sg.Serai..but the excitement of the festivities did make us get caught in it..what with the fact that the boys wants to get baju Melayu..so we went a couple of places before finally decided on the ones they had...Adzrul decided not to buy a new one this year since last year he had 2 new ones...Boleh pakai lagi since masa raya je pakai or tengok orang kawen.... Sendiri kawen belum lagi..sibuk memanjang kat hospital tu...

We got caught in the jam..in the rain on the highway..in the parking lots stucked.... blaring of lagu raya everwhere...finding places to buka puasa..and I guess in the short days I was there... We had quite an eventful time.

Nite before raya about 10:30pm decided to drive back to Seremban instead of after Eid prayers.. The highway was clear all the way and we took about just 45mins to reach my dad's house. Infact..the fast lane was mostly unoccupied..I guess everybody was being cautious and taking their time..biarlah dari tak sampai lansung...

As I remember it..the last tiem I spend Eid with family was in 2002...Adzrul was not there coz'his first Eid in Russia...therefore 2001 was when everybody was there...What happens than was..in 2002 Adzrul studied in Russia and 6 years of Eid there..in 2003 I move to Saudi and 6 Eid there...my mom pass away in 2005..my brother got divorced in 2007...and so thats how the clan members moved.... Even as a complete own family..only last year the 6 of us spend Eid together in Dhahran... Next year is again a tough time to get all in one place..but insyaállah from 2011 till 2014/2015...we might get to spend Eid in Malaysia. But Ramadhan in Saudi is the best I say....
