alhamdulillah, i managed to complete the 29 days of fasting this year even though i did not manage to do much of terawikh prayer...this year, we cooked nasi impit with lodeh, rendang and kuah kacang...imtiaz loves the hot rendang very much and jihan loves almost everything...
our small family wore a combination of black and orange outfit this year...the kids were very excited to go back to kampung...sadly we did not follow them this year as we were anticipating any emergency event should i go into early labour...
they went off after our raya photoshoot and seeking forgiveness from each other...it was a sad moment from me to be away from my little rascals for about 3-4 days...i'm sure they will enjoy themselves and behave well...
soon after they left, me and dear hubby went to my aunt's house in bandar tun razak and we had nasi tomato, nasi impit with rending and lodeh as well...then we went home, i had a good nap after watching some good stuff on tv while hubby helped to clean the house (sorting out unwanted stuffs and making our room ready for the arrival of our baby)....
the next day, my dear friend dahlia invited us for hari raya breakfast at her house and we had nasi lemak for a change and arabic meatballs (kabob)...then, we were off to midvalley megamall for some shopping...i bought a crocs sandal and few socks for my confinement and hubby bought some new shirts...
we continued arranging the furniture and stuffs at home in the newly renovated area...throwing all the unwanted stuffs and vacuuming the house as well...dear hubby had been very helpful to do all the heavy jobs, while i tried my best to help him to sort out the stuffs and did some light works...
alhamdulillah, we were very grateful that another aunt in enstek invited us over to her house and we had soto/mee soto... so, our raya was not that dull at all, we still went out to visit nearby relatives and friends...although it was nice to spend time just the two of us, i really missed my children very much...i called them at least twice a day and it seemed that they really had fun in kampung...i also spent some time reading a book, baby magic by sue cox...
imtiaz had his haircut back in kampung and it was such a drama...he was scared of getting his haircut so getting it done was after lots of negotiation...
just before they arrived home, me and dear hubby made our way to ikea to buy a study table for jihan and a chest drawer for imtiaz to put his clothes...had breakfast at ikea and later lunch at the apartment...back at home, hubby reassemble the stuffs that we bought at ikea and when the kids arrived, they (especially jihan) were excited to see her study table ready and some of the stuffs (especially their books) had been arranged nicely in our library...
dear hubby took his annual leave until thursday, so we brought the kids to ikea again the next day to buy some stuffs, but mainly to spend some time with the kids...they had fun pushing the kids trolley around and later had an ice cream treat each...
overall, it was a tiring hari raya for me but i really enjoyed myself (although i really missed my children when they were away)...our room was still in a mess but quite manageable now...we disassemble the baby cot as i'm sure that we are not going to use it when the baby arrives...i also washed the baby carseat's cover and my breast pump bag...
till today, no sign the baby is coming out yet..he is moving very active and comfortably sits in my womb...
