Out in the real world

My Hari Raya wasn't anything fantastic. I spent most of the day at home actually. Last year was worse because I spend most of my time sleeping...zzz. The good thing is we went out together as a family for the first time on Hari Raya. ^_^ Ibu and Ayah brought me to mak Ngah's house in the morning to have their breakfast of lontong and the works while I played with Abang Alif. When we got back, I slept for 2 hours before I had my lunch.

Ibu and Ayah later made me wear a new baju kurong made by Nenek. My new baju kurong has nice alphabet prints on it and the 'kain' looks more like a skirt...hehe. But it's quite comfortable to wear because it's cotton unlike those sold in shops which Ibu complains of being sticky after wearing them. However The skirt do get in the way when I'm crawling...gah!

After I'm all prim and proper, we set out to Mak Ngah's place again where Ibu and Ayah had their lunch of the same thing again...lontong! it was at 4pm already when we made our move to Nenek's house in Pasir Ris. There's also lontong at Nenek's house. I bet that if I visit a few more houses, there would be lontong served. hehe. They're everywhere! I got a taste of it when Ibu let me have a bite of it. It didn't taste anything extraordinary. In fact it tastes like rice. I later found out that lontong is indeed rolled rice wrapped in a palm leaf which is then boiled. As the rice cooks, the rice becomes compressed and it becomes lontong. Cool huh?

When we arrived to Nenek's place, Ibu's uncle was already there with his family to visit Nenek. He is Nenek's twin but he doesn't look a single bit like Nenek...not even the hair...hehe. I had my dinner and crawled around while everyone talked about the weather, school and issues which matters to the BIG people. After Ibu's uncle has gone home, Abang Amin and his family came for a visit. I was just too tired from the day's activities that I had fallen asleep.
