Now at Mum's

It hasn't relented yet. After Maghrib, we went over to my Mum's house again in Bukit Antarabangsa for dinner and more food. I could hardly breath now with all the curry and stuff. I was stuffed. And my boys were still jumping up and down with their cousins.

I better slow down now, and relax before going to bed. I bet, I would get up late. I have already told the staffs that I would only start my rounds at 10am, having cancelled my clinic.

Qurban Tomorrow

I noticed that most of the Qurban animals for this year were a button the thin side.

When I was at the caterers, they had the cows lined up for tomorrow. They all looked underfed. Poor fella. At Bukit Antarabangsa, Qurban would take place tomorrow rather than today. Today being Friday, the fear was, the Qurban would not be completed in time before the Raya prayers. So, my parents, as always would be right busy tomorrow.

I would be racing through my ward round before joining them tomorrow. Hopefully the weather would be kind.

The Kenduri

The kenduri started at 11 and I went to the caterers with my Mum to bring back some food. For the in-law's place, Anita went with one of the drivers.

The good thing about the caterer we had been using was they were very efficient. My Mum introduced it to me. In fact, they were the caterer for my wedding 15 years ago. And until today, they were still the first choice for us.

Not only that they were reliable, the food were also very good. They would usually send the food over, with a couple of waiters and utensils. They also did canopies. But since it was Raya today, we just ordered the food.

Not all the guests could make it though - mainly family from my Mum-in-law were invited. This being a Friday had a lot to do with it.

Anyhow, we made the best out of whoever that came. It went OK, with plenty of the neighbours able to come. I just came back from the Friday prayers and was enjoying the drinks. It turned out to be a really hot day.

The Raya Morning

Went to bed extra early last night. And by 5 this morning, I was already up awake. Couldn't get into my study as one of our cousins and his family spent the night there. So, I ended up just reading some magazines. Too lazy to get out of the room as well.

Everyone was up by 6 to prepare for the kenduri later this morning. I got to the shower and in the last hour, had been in front of the TV, enjoying my day off. My only day off, as I would be doing rounds tomorrow morning. So, better enjoy it while it lasts.

As for the weather, it was looking really gloomy outside. Hmmm! With the preparation at full swing at the moment, hopefully the rain would not be too heavy. Looked like I would have to brave the rain to get to the mosque. And imagine the qurban ...... in the rain ....
