Selamat Hari Raya
First of all... I wanna wish my Anak "Salam Raya... mane duit raya ?" hee hee...
I had a full Raya this year. We're eating from sunrise to sunset, break our record of 11 houses. Tastes all different kind of Curry, Rendang, Lemamg, ketupat, satay...satay sause.... you name it.
We woke up early in the morning on the first day of Raya, Today we're going to visit some VIPs so the dress code is formal/traditional, so I've to wear my only kebaya. I wanted to wear baju kurung, but I couldn't make a last min shopping last week. So, here come Amoi in her kebaya again.
Our first stop is to the Astana. The palaca that Charles Brooke built for his beloved wife in 1870 and it's a bridal gift to her. How Lomantic eh...This place is close for the whole year long because it's the Resident of our Tun Yang Terhormat, but it's open to public for visit on first day of Raya and may be some other special occassion i not so sure of. So remember, if you like to take a look of the Palace, go check it out next raya, do it early in the morning to beat the crowd. But we're lucky because we're tagging along Mr AJ's family so we get all this special early entry. (^_*)v
The Astana is beautiful, I like the white colored building against that morning blue sky. There's a lot of detail, the window, the door and the ceiling. It has mixture of islamic, natives element. I can't really go around to admire the beauty of this historical building...As We're in one of the meeting hall, food were ready and serve. I didn't have much because I feel very "kayu" eating in front of all this vips. It's kinda arkward... somemore I'm busy taking photos. So I'll save my tummy for later.
After the Astana, we went to the indoor stadium to Greet our Cheif Minister. The Staduim were nicely decorate, even parkson don't get the 50% of decoration they have...Anyway, it's nice to see CM in person, his white hair is really cool..when I get old I want my hair to be all that white too... hee heeee can dye it to shocking pink easily..back to the story....we visited 2 moer vip's open house after that then it's free & easy. We drove right back to town and change into something comfortable...so we can start a real feast.
Our visiting didn't end until the sun goes down... by the time we finish all the friend's house...it's already 8+pm. Then we head to our last open house at Ipanema...to close the night...then go home and sleep with tummy full of curry....
Yumm....dreaming....rendang.....curry ayam.... kurma... ketupat....lemang....
Don't ever try planning losing weight on Raya time!
I've more private picture will be upload in my facebook...visit my FB to view em.
