Open house

Aduhai, we are so extremely tired from such a busy few days of non stop packing, tidying and cooking. But, Alhamdulillah, berjaya juga we all membuat open house hari ni dalam sibuk2 berpacking ni.

Thank you so much to everyone yang sudi menghadirkan diri to our humble abode and sudi merasa our food. You guys made our open house much more enjoyable and happening :-D. Walaupun the spread tak lah se lavish the open house spread macam kat M’sia but for us it was meriah and sedap enough to fill up a few hungry tummies, hehehe….

But like every other open house, tak banyak gambar yang sempat di ambil sebab masa tengah ramai guests, tak sempat2 nak pegang camera untuk ambil gambar dgn all the guests. We all pun sampai lupa nak ambik gambar 1 family berbaju kurung di hari raya, padahal dah siap bergaya berbaju raya bagai. Tahun ni memang takde gambar 1 family dgn baju raya, sedih betul, hehehe.

But I managed to take some photos of the kuih muih raya and hidangan lauk pauk open house tadi.

Bangun pagi tadi I terus isi kuih muih dalam bekas sebab takut tak sempat pulak. As usual, my bekas kuih memang takde yang serupa, segala macam bentuk and jenis ada :-). Miss 6 jadi model kuih raya dengan muka tak mandi lagi tu :-). Cubalah kira berapa jenis kuih raya yang I buat, hikhikhik…..

The Other Half suruh I ambik gambar kuih raya with all the lids opened so boleh lah nampak isi kat dalam nya but tak kuasa pulak I nak membukaknya!

Pakkal lah dining table I ni kecik aje, kalau besar, mau agaknya I penuhkan dengan segala macam periuk and mangkuk, hehehehe… Periuk yang besar2 tu isi sup ayam, kuah laksa dan yang kat belakang tu… isi cendol! :-D.

Ini lah lauk and dishes yang I masak. I buat nasi ayam penyet with all its condiments, mee kari/ laksa nyonya, sambal udang dgn petai, masak lodeh.

Then I made kek batik, baklava, cendol and oreo cheesecake for desserts. Semua tuju cendol dulu sebab I guess susah kan nak dapat cendol kat sini ;-D.

Esok, I tayang our packing progress pulak ye.

Like The Other Half said to me, “We’re not moving next week Dear, we are moving this week. 5 more sleeps before the move!

Terus I dapat heart palpitations kat situ jugak bila dengar dia cakap macam tu!!!!! Agggghhhhhhhhhhhh…. I am not ready yet!!!!!!!!!

Kak Emily,
Selama hari raya utk you and family juga.
Kalau open house kat M'sia, penuh dgn nasi briyani, nasi arab, nasi dagang. I buat nasi ayam aje sbb senang, hehehe....

Anis,
hahaha... nasib baik you all mandi cepat2 kan and sempat berlari2 kejar bas :-). Kenyang tak makan tadi? I tak sempat nak borak2 dgn you sbb masa tu tgh ramai yg datang, sorry ye!

Rugi tak dtg. Kalau tak boleh makan ayam penyet. I semalam beriya2 buat gardening. I re planting n re potting my plants. Lepas tu kena cambut rumput yg tumbuh meliar kat border antara my garden bed n garden bed barrier. Hari ni je I dah buat 4 trip to angkut my barang2 persendirian. Rumah tak jauh pun. 2.5km je. Hari khamis baru angkut semua. Ni tgh relax jap sebelum gi ambik anak2 dari sekolah n sambung my driving marathon.

Selamat Hari Raya, maaf zahir dan batin.

Yea, I heard that comment on moving this wk and not next week, walaupun heart palpition, u tetap maintain cool. :) Anyway, tq for the invitation, had a wonderful time there, but couldnt eat much as yours was the 3 rd house n I was too full. Cuma sekarang tengah menyesal tak makan your laksa nyonya.

I rasa kalau I dtg, I tak leh nak makan you. Tgh gastro ni. Perut rasa mual semacam. Ni semua sbb budak2 berdua tu. Mula2 hana n 1st raya hari tu Omar. Hari Sabtu tu I pulak kena. Hari ni pun rasa mcm org puasa. Tak lalu nak mkn. Minum air ginger beer saja. Nasib baik I tak janji ngan you. Kalau tak, kempunan ngan ayam penyek tu.
