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.
