Every year Raya is spent at my mom's place in Perak..with very Kampung settings.even my atuk's house is the old Perak house, the thing about Raya in Kampung is that despite it being very festive and traditional, the cellphone coverage is very weak..ive been only able to receive SMS's and the only place i could get slightly clear line is under the rambutan tree.. ( read : Hello!.. se...krrk zzt lamat Hari.. zzt krrk Raya Weih..zzt.. Apa?? Mende?) so it would be a sight to behold.. me in my kain batik and all.. walking around the lawn with handphone in hand.. trying to get the best spot with the highest number of bars... most of the time id be chatting on my cell under this rambutan tree or this one ..
Like every year we would make lemang and this year is extra special coz we even made our own panjut (pelita/pelita stand) using bamboo..This is what we made and this is the one we tried to copy .. there was even mercun... and bunga api.. courtesy of moi
herself..like always.. theres always a mercun war.. who can make the loudest noise and all.. tapi mmg tak puas hati la... tahun nih rumah sebelah dia nyer mercun yg KLCC nyer taraf.. tak terlawan kitorang..
Other than that, Raya was filled with the normal merry making.. eating rendangs ... giving out duit raya ( first time kasi duit raya tahun nih) ..long distance phone calls..and long queus to the toilet.. So how was yours?
