Syawal (Muslim Calendar) 1428 passed its half-way mark last Saturday and we commemorated it with a small open-house gathering with family members, relatives and close friends.
Thank you all who were able to make it, despite the heavy rain as well as the bumper-to-bumper traffic jam, which was attributed to some major construction work on MRR (Middle Ring Road).
Funnily enough, every time we invite people over for a Do, rainfall would always accompany the hullabaloo. And it's always the cats-and-dogs variety. There was not a hint of rain when the Do started at 6 pm - in fact, it was scorching hot! Yet, by 7 pm, the downfall caused the late arrivals of many invitees, not to mention a few who got lost, no thanks to my wrong texted direction. :) Trust me to mix up my RIGHT from my LEFT. Hehe.
Food was a mixture of cooked and catered. Hubby was in charge of cooking his specialty Laksa Sarawak and Apple Crumble, served with ice-cream, which were a hit with the folks. Apart from the drinks, other food like beehoon goreng, roti jala & kari and karipap were bought from our all-time favourite caterer, Mak Bedah at her food stall near Ampang Specialist Hospital.
Looking forward to more Raya Makan-makan this coming weekend if there is any left ;-)
Until I'm out of my writer's block, please do feast your eyes on these photos. Those not into photos can skip this entry. Have a good day everyone.

Anne dear,
My hubby is an Alpha Cook - which means get out of his way when he's cooking! Hehe.
Writer's block? Even writers go through a trough period. ;-)
Lollies dear,
Laksa Sarawak is an acquired taste, in my opinion. On the Rempah-y side. I don't mind the good ole kuah kacang with nasi impit! ;)
