Aidil Adha 2010

So yesterday was Aidil Adha. It came and go oh so very quickly. Am starting to forget what I did yesterday, lol!

I was very (very) happy that Daddy came to our house for Aidil Adha. Lately, I've sensed the sudden need of being close to my family. My emotions nowadays are definitely worst than a roller coaster ride. So yesterday kinda did me good because I get to spend time with Daddy, Aunty Alang and my sister. Funny enough, when it comes to family, I'm not the type of person who would openly show my affection. But strangely enough, even I can't defy the need to be close to my relatives. So yesterday really made my day and I thank Allah for every possible chance I get to spend with them. Because I love them so much.

Yesterday started with a breakfast of lemang, rendang daging and my home cooked kurma ayam! Then we (Adel, hubby and I. Daddy stayed at home because he wasn't feeling too shabby :( ) headed to the mosque for the qurban. We paid for the second portion of Adel's aqiqah. We did the first one in May but because we have a son, it is recommended to aqiqah 2 portion of lamb or cow.

See No. 7!

Adel's aqiqah is lembu or cow number 4. By the way, this took place at Masjid Muadz Bin Jabal. Setiawangsa. Gotta love this masjid, the qurban was so systematic and carefully planned. 

Adel's lembu

Adel and I didn't stay there too long because Adel was sleepy. So we went to the car and waited for hubby while he waits for our portion. Afterward, we went to PIL and had laksa Johor and no, they are not from Johor. Adel was super clingy yesterday and I was super happy that he was that clingy! Adel's clingy-ness was seriously pure exaggeration (to the irritation of others)! And I loved every moment of it *evil grin*.

We headed back home almost immediately because we left Daddy alone at home for too long. I prepped Daddy's lunch and then all of us had a siesta. Daddy packed up and left us at 5pm so we decided to leave together to Mummy's grave. 

I always (without fail) choked up when I visit Mummy. I miss her so much. I'd usually sit next to her grave and say loudly in my head that I miss her and I love her so much. That she now has a ferocious grandson whom she would definitely adore and go crazy with. I'd say all kinds of things and pretend that she's listening to me. Oh, Mummy, how I wish you were still here. There is never a day that goes by where I don't think of you. I keep your pictures around the house to remind me of your strength and courage and also as a reminder to Adel that his grandma was eloquently pretty and tasteful. I miss you.

We went to Aunty Alang's later for more food! We had nasi something, lasagna, macaroni and cupcakes. I wish I had pictures of the food, was busy stuffing my face non-stop! My cousins makes killer cupcakes!! Yesterday's flavour was cookies and cream and it was soooo good! But I had to gallop everything quickly because Adel was clingy and would not let me out of his sight for long. I cannot complain and do not want to complain because I enjoy his clingy-ness, remember! My sister was there too and we exchanged daging qurban, lol! 

Around 8pm, we left and headed back home and quickly called it a day!
