Raya 2017 Part 2: Kelantan, Kuantan and KL

We safely arrived in Pasir Mas (my cousin's house) around 6 pm on the third day of Syawal. That was my first visit to their house. Actually we stayed over night at the house before heading to Tok Bali for our family day on the next day. Thank you my cousin Kasyfu and wife Kak Na for the hospitality. Such a beautiful house with amazing scenery. My parents also were staying there for one night. Just look at the views. Breathtaking! The bendang and all..
without wasting time, an OOTD is a must! This kurung I bought at a boutique in Plaza Masalam. Very cheap sebab dah last piece hehe
Cantik kan background suasana macam tu...finally dapat beraya with my mom n sis
with my cousin Kak Na and her kids

Terharu sangat sebab we reached late at 6 pm so open house rumah cousin ni dah nak habis makanan. So my dear cousin Khalilah masuk dapur balik and cooked this ayam masak merah for us...Sedapppp sangat.. Thank you love.. Tak sempat amik gambar sbb dia bz chef
The next day before heading to Tok Bali, sempat kami nak beraya jap dekat rumah my dad's sister dekat Jalan Telipot.

Cerita family day nanti kita buat entry special keh..

After family day tu, we straight away went back to Kuantan and stayed one night before heading to KL the next day because my parents wanted to visit their grandson Irfan (my brother's son) who was having Dengue fever at that time. We reached Kuantan around 6 pm and we stooped by at my aunty's house (rumah wajib) to pray and having dinner. Yeayy dapat jumpa cousins lagi. Memang raya sakan Alhamdulillah.

Raya 2017 Part 1: Ijok, Perak

Assalamualaikum..

One of the best moments from our Raya this year is the fact that the boys began to cooperate posing for the camera. There is still room for improvement but mama is so happy. Tak de lah berperang sangat nak amik gambar je pun. Anyway, it's not too late to wish Salam Syawal and may this Syawal brings us thousands of bless from Allah swt. Let's check it out some of my favorite photos of my boys on the first Syawal...
Naeem memang full of expression while Abang Fahri is more chillex
Chewahhh salam salam ini pun sebab mama yang suruh
Haa macam tu la abg Fahri sporting..
Our Raya theme kali ni is baby blue actually but hubby malas nak beli baju so dia pakai baju 2 years back. Ok je..lagipun dia bukan jenis pakai baju melayu lama2. I really love my peplum! Very reasonable price dia I bought from Ashura Boutique located in AEON Shah Alam.. Memang cantik2 and affordable sangat
Macam amik gambar ngan YB plak rasanya 😉
Gambar anak beranak wajib. I love the background memang suasana kampung
Lantakla Naeem nak pose kat depan tu asalkan pandang camera
Bawah pokok kelapak
with my family in law
The only kids around as the other cucus (my SIL's children) tak balik tahun ni
Abg Fahri plak ke depan

The second Syawal, we went beraya to few relatives' houses lead by my MIL. 
See... bagus dah pandai pose hihi
Let's beraya
and menambahkan lemak
We were in Ijok, Perak till third Syawal. After Subuh on the third Syawal, we headed to Pasir Mas, Kelantan to beraya with my parents' side plak.

My Best Ramadhan (so far)


Assalam....

I know, i know.. it's Syawal already but I still can't get over my wonderful memories in previous Ramadhan. SubhanAllah. Alhamdulillah.

I would say Ramadhan 2017 was my best so far. This is simply because:

I was able to perform Tarawekh Prayers most of the nights. Hopefully I did meet my Lailatul Qadar Night. Since my MIL is staying at my house, it was a great experience that I could bring her and my sisters in law (when they were around) along to the mosque and perform Tarawekh together. Alhamdulillah. 

My Ramadhan this year is so meaningful as we chose to cook at home instead of buying food outside. There was not so much wastage on food and money. Alhamdulillah. I managed to help my MIL cooking and adding dishes for iftar menu.

I also got the chance to be in Kuantan and spent my two Ramadhan days with my beloved family. So much love. Alhamdulillah.

Most importantly, I feel so happy that Allah swt gives me the opportunity to perform Tarawekh in the mosque after few years need to be home with the kids. Syukran Ya Allah. The boys had Iqra' class every Monday to Wednesday night, thus it was the best time for me to go to the mosque. Such a great opportunity. There were nights that we brought the boys to the mosque and prayed together BUT I guess they are still kids. We need to bring them more often to the mosque so that they will get used to the mosque environment.

Thank you Allah swt for the opportunity given. I hope I am one of the luckiest who met Lailatul Qadar.. In sha Allah
