Raya Korban 1430 @ 2009

Aidil Adha menjelma dua minggu selepas pemergian Abah. Seusai solat sunat Idil Adha, kami ke pusara abah.

Masjid Assam Kumbang, Tekah.

Ramai yang melawat pusara kaum keluarga

Pusara abah masih merah

Seekor lembu dikorbankan keluarga kami untuk sempurnakan hajat abah; 7 panggu atas nama 7 orang cucunya. Sebanyak 8 ekor lembu dikorbankan oleh ahli qaryah Masjid Al Falah tahun ini.

Lembu No. 7 sedang termenung menunggu giliran

Ramai yang membantu menjayakan korban tahun ini

Abah's Last Few Shots

Abah’s passions on new technologies and gadgets continued until his last few weeks. His final toy was a Sony A330 DSLR Camera, which he owned for about two weeks before he was admitted to the hospital. Here are some selected snaps from my beloved abah...

This is where I grew up, and it will never be the same again without abah

Around the house...

Visit to the Royal National Park, Sydney

The Royal National Park in Sydney, Australia is the second oldest National Park in the world, after the Yellowstone National Park in the U.S.

Memetik Bunga... Floriade 2009

Rombongan seramai tiga buah kereta bertolak seawal 6.30 pagi dari Sydney menuju ke Canberra. Tujuan perjalanan hari ini adalah untuk merisik-risik bunga-bungaan di taman. Cuaca di Sydney pagi itu amat cerah walaupun agak berangin. Hati para peserta rombongan berbunga-bunga. Akan tetapi, kusangka panas hingga ke petang, rupanya hujan di tengahari. Di pertengahan perjalanan, cuaca bertukar menjadi agak muram. Angin semakin kencang dan suhu semakin menurun sehingga menjadi 'single digit'. Perjalanan tetap diteruskan.

Floriade 2009 bertempat di Canberra berlangsung selama sebulan, dari awal September hingga 12 Oktober 2009. Acara yang diadakan setiap tahun ini merupakan pesta bunga terbesar di benua Australia.

Sekitar Aidilfitri 1430H / 2009

This may be the last Aidilfitri in Sydney. Here are few pictures taken on the first day of Raya. As usual, when it comes to our house, everybody forgot to take some pictures.

We performed solat sunat at Malaysia Hall. Then straight to Abg Lan's house as usual. But this year it was less crowded. Our so called 'geng' has been shrinking in terms of members as some have gone back for good to Malaysia. After that we went to Kak Laila's house.

We did not go to the MSD's raya celebration at MyHall that afternoon. They said a lot of people were there and you have to get into a long queue just to have a plate of food. We went home and prepared the food as we have invited some friends over to our house. The delicacies were nasi minyak, khermuk ayam, acar and kuah kacang made by Dr Rozlin, whereas the rendang and pulut together with nasi impit were special from yours truly.
