We celebrated Hari Raya at my hubby's side at Jitra/Jerlun, Kedah this year. It is baby mia's first hari raya celebration and we were really excited. Mak bought few clothes for mia so we didn't have to buy any raya clothes for her. Can't wait for next year when she can walk, i want to buy baju kurung that matches with me and hubby.
So i started packing on tuesday, 3 days before raya.Since we have a new member to the family we didn't want to leave anything behind especially baby stuffs. On wednesday night we started our journey at almost 12am. Mia slept all the way and woke up just in time for sahur.We reached Juru at about 4.30am and had our sahur at Subaidah- favourite mamak restaurant to stop by everytime we go back to Kedah. Amazingly we managed to catch up with mak and makcik Salina's family who went in separate cars and started off earlier than us.Can't remember what time we reached Jitra- maybe around 6-7 am. Hubby dozed off immediately.Hehe
We checked-in to Holiday Villa Hotel, Alor Setar in the afternoon as mia got cranky. Apparently she could not stand the heat. No surprise here i guess coz she's used to sleep in an air-conditioned room. Huhu. So she slept for several hours. We had to break fast with Mc D-GCB ( oOohh delicious) as we didn't want to go out and wake her. At night we went back to Jitra, continue with dinner and had little nice chat with the family on the eve of raya :)
Yeay, its finally raya the next day. Mia got her first collection of raya money from Wan, Ayu and makcik Salina. Mak Ngah came to the house too and mia collected rm50! yuhoo. Then we headed to Jerlun (arwah bapak's side) to visit Paksu's family. They were so excited to see mia who's already 5 months old. I think the last time i came i was 2-3 months pregnant.
On second hari raya, we just hung around at Wan's house and went to visit Mak Ngah's family at Kepala Batas in the afternoon. Didn't go to many places as mia needs her beauty sleep. Most of the time spent in the hotel though.
3rd day of hari raya we went back to Jerlun again, this time to visit Abg Ad's family which is hubby's cousin. Abg Ad just came back from JB. This time Teh is around too, with Mak teh heavily pregnant it seemed. She looked radiant and just glowing! Then Tam came shortly after. We went back at 2pm and off to KL.
Ops the journey doesn't end there. The road were so jammed packed with cars that we decided to drop by at Ipoh- Mak Anjang's house.The original plan was to head back straight to KL but hubby was too tired after driving for 7 hours. By the time we reached Ipoh, it was already 8.45pm, just imagine!
We finally reached KL at almost 1 am. Ayah was surprised to see us in the morning because we told him the night before that we were going to spend the night at Ipoh. Haha. Hubby decided to go back anyway after few hours of rest.
Looking forward to our next plan- we are going to move in to our own house in 2 weeks time! Watch our for the next entry. (^_^)
