Merdeka

Selamat Menyambut Merdeka to all Malaysians. We should be thankful that we live in a peaceful country & we should be grateful to our forefathers for this freedom.

Our merdeka day was spent balik kampung. Since it was a long weekend, all my siblings took the opportunity to have iftar together. ( Except for Abang Nordin of course, who's in Beijing for the past 2 years). Since everyone was home, Mak beriya masak. We started cooking since 2p.m. It was early by my standard coz I normally started cooking after 6pm...hehe..So after beriya masak our favourite dishes, she managed to come up with 14 dishes!! Tu belum campur kuih-muih. Kuih-muih beli je.. Tapi yang laku betul 'kerabu perut & mangga' & ' masak lemak siput & betik'. Licin...

Petang tu the fathers buat gotong-royong mengecat rumah Mak Ayah. Nasib hujan dah stop. Asyik hujan je... Alysa & Adik were so excited tengok orang mengecat that they missed their afternoon nap. Time orang berbuka, Adik tertidur sambil duduk! The next day dia tertidur sambil berdiri pulak..Puas pujuk suruh tido tanak, time orang berbuka dia yang ngantuk..

Adik...
