Syawal 2012 - Keropok Cap Tenggiri

I am on my way back to Kuala Lumpur. It has been a short time celebrating raya at my hometown. So sad! I am going to miss them. Sudah lah jarang balik sekejab ja pulak tu.

On the way, I managed to stop over at one of the shop that sells keropok lekor. Never miss it and I do think it was one of the best keropok lekor shop! Sedap. Moreover, there are various types of keropok were sold there too. If you come to visit Terengganu and have keropok lekor on your mind, I recommend to have a stop here at the Kedai Keropok Cap Tenggiri at Kemaman.

The keropok lekor was freshly made in front of your eyes

Syawal 2012 - Teluk Bidara

Me and family

       
          Ewah...feel extreamly happy because all of us went to the beach. Of course I do feel a bit a jakun. There is no beaches available in Kuala Lumpur. I meant a real one. It is not the same as the fake one in Sunway Lagoon. Here at the Teluk Bidara at this moment held so many visitors and further more today was a second day of raya. Amboi, ni mesti.family yang balik kampung beraya sambil berenang-renang kat pantai. Curlass ko Melah... But all of us said no no to have a swim there. I do think it is quite dangerous and plus I don't know how to swim. So, all of us just enjoy the nice sunset view. Beautiful!

Beautiful sunset : )

Syawal 2012 - Foods!

Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir dan Batin from me. Today is the firt of Syawal. The family and I celebrating raya this year at my father's hometown at Dungun Terengganu. It is great day so far bit i do feel stomach discomfort. A lot of gases produced and this is not a good news. Huhu. Ooo mentang-mentang da boleh makan di siang hari! I already skip drinking the Lipid SDII. Nah. I dont know weather I can make it to maintain my weight or even to cut the fats down before this 16 Sept 2012. Really hope that I can make it on time.

Salam Aidilfitri

Assalamualaikum,

          I like to wish Salam Aidilfitri to all friends and everybody who knows me. I hope that if there is a hard feeling between us, please forgive me. Sorry again for my harsh words or any actions that you may found  hurtful. A memorable year has pass by and there is so many things had happen. Some are sad, happy and great. For this upcoming Syawal, there will be more tension and happy stuff will swirl around. It will be a surprise to some people. Confirm! Seriously I am excited and nervous too. A month to go!

          Because of the hustle for making all the cookies this year only now I have a chance of making this simple raya card for this year. Very simple indeed. No quilling card for this time.Well, I need to boost up my energy for the upcoming event. I didn't do anything yet for the flowers yet! The card looks cute right? Has taken me only 15 minutes to draw and color the flower, leaves and butterflies. I'm using the Faber-Castel pencil colour. Feeling-feeling like a school girl right now. I do remember in my younger days (well, I'm still young now) that I only knew to draw stick man / girl with their dresses on top. Hodoh! So, cikgu always gave me C- or D for my so-so artwork. I do feel untalented at that time and feeling a bit low. More sadly when my father do criticize me for my horrible drawings. He do says, "Apelah lukis orang lidi ja ni?". Now, I can make some artful things and yes, I will not give up for making more of them. 

Using the Faber Castell pencil color and sketches on the plain paper.

Last but not least, Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin!
