Hari Raya Day Deux (TWO/DUA/ITHNANI/ER/DOS)

Second Day Raya is as always, spent visiting my mom's side. Arguably the closer-knit group of the cousins I have on either side. And it was fun I tell you! FUN! This time around we had a convoy of 5 cars (My family's, My bro's, Kak Syai's, Pak Long's and a rented car) so u can well imagine the big group travelling, especially since 2 of them cars are MPVs. A debut Hari Raya appearance this time round for Abang Hisyam and Abang Herman, both of whom got hitched to my sis and Kak Syai respectively this year, so WELCOME TO THE FAMILY and most importantly, to Nek Pon's CuzzenHencemJambu group.

First up we visited Nek Engku's super elegant landed property (Cik Farid gave us bomb packets of check this...50 dollars EACH!), then subsequently, Tok Teh's house, Cik Usop's residence, Cik Eton's nest, Cik Ros's place, Cik Zain's apartment, Nek Anjang's dwelling and finally Cik Massba's masjid. As my family car's passengers consisted almost entirely of licensed drivers, we took turns driving to each house, tailing the other cars in a convoy.

It's great going to visit my relatives whom otherwise I almost never get to meet. I realize I have some really pretty 2nd cousins (^_^), while my immediate cousins are also growing up and maturing/blossoming into fine young men and women. Reading this, Farhanis? ahakz.

As usual, whenever the CuzzenHencemJambu group gets together we have crazy fun, and maturity goes out the window as the elder ones fool around just as childishly as the the younger 'uns. Throw in 5 young nephews ranging from a baby to toddlers, and you can quite imagine the havoc...and headache...we wreak. Muahahahaha!

And Kak Syai, I shalt tuntut ur promise of baking me (and ONLY me) more macaroons, no matter if its nt crunchy. Macaroons, I like =D

Pics to be posted up soon. Watch this space.
