Iftar - 23rd day of Ramadhan

Babah decided to hold Iftar at his own nest and mama agreed so we invited few family friends who stayed within the vicinity. Mama cooked sup tulang and ekor, ikan bawal hitam masak sweet sour and mixed vege. Also mama baked talam ubi... yummy and babah favourite kueh ketayap. The mommies came with variety of delicacies like sambal belacan, pink onde-onde, meehoon goreng, sardines rolls, ikan pekasam, ikan masak kicap etc etc.etc. And actually again tak sempat nak snap photos. Again Aalhamdulillah plenty of food to be shared and plenty of children too to tolong menghabiskan. Not to worry, InsyaAllah habis. We are the type yang enjoy food so taklah membazir.

Iman, quench to her thirst

Apalah yang disembangkan tu?

Iftar - 18th day of Ramadhan

At Twar 3 - Again we received an invitation from Tuan Rumah to have Iftar at their humble house with friends. As Mama is still recuperating from fever, still feeling dizzy and body still frail, bangun gak, put an effort to cook bubur kacang durian. We arrived quite late as we were caught in traffic. Ramai sungguh attended this time. The house was full of people in and out. Same goes to the food, everywhere full of delicious delicacies, thumb ups to the home made laksam by tuan rumah and towkeh catering in Dubai. There are also ikan bakar, variety of desserts and others. Punyalah makan tak sempat snap-snap gambar makanan, as mama thought baba took photos and vice versa. Sudahnya... hope ehsan photos dr kawan2 lah nanti.

Meeting so many friends and new friends. Miraculously, felt energetic, rasa sakit badan-badan hilang n feeling totally recuperated. mmm... good babling theraphy, memang mulut suka brok-brek, brok-brek, then makan-makan, solat Maghrib, makan-makan, sembang-sembang. Later the men went to the nearby mosque for Isyak prayer and Terawih whilst the ladies done it at the house.

Bila mommies ucapkan selamat hari Raya

After Terawih, 10.00pmwe gathered the mommies and the children, (wei semangat tu pakai baju kurung - letih try yang mana muat lagi). Many of the guest have gone back. Again photo shooting session for Hari Raya wishes (raya di perantauan). Punyalah sronok... though kena retake few times. (masa ni nasib baik camera ada kat babah)

1,2,3 action ! "Kami mengucapkan Slamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada keluarga dan semua sanak saudara yang berada di Malaysia. SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI DARI DUBAI"

Bazaar Ramadhan - 12th day of Ramadhan

day/date : Friday 12th September 2008

place : Consul General's residence in Al Barsha
time : 4 - 6pm

Friday 12th Sptember 2008 - Again Malaysians thronged joining the crowd to one particular destination, our very own Bazaar Ramadhan realized from Malaysians for Malaysians. This week more stalls and variety of menus available for visitors. The bazaar Ramadhan as previous week was phenomenal. Lots of delicacies to be offered and to attract to the hungry stomachs. Welcome everyone to our food festival in Dubai.

Imeirda's family affair wholly joined by anak-anak; Iman, Ilham n Irdina, helping to do the packing n labelling.

First time ever, we commit ourselves to join the excitement with other friends to sell our Rendang Tok. So catch up our limited edition of rendang tok. It is maybe not the best so far as the original kuali not available. The best to cook rendang is still using the traditional tungku with kayu api and pakai kawah. Anyway FYI, it is not a profit making bizz, all money received will be chanelled to Tabung Sponsor Iftar d Indonesia/Filipina/ Sri Lanka! So mari menjayakan bazaar ini dan bersama-sama menyumbang untuk anak-anak yang kurang bernasib baik. As quoted by saudara Hasnol "Lebih banyak anda membeli, lebih banyak sumbangan anda. Dan lebih banyak bonus Ramadhan anda! Kami nak"Gemukkan" puasa anda! Alhamdulillah. Well for the rest, let the picture tell the stories.

Siap nak interframe lagi. Me with Irdina tumpang kat stall Arabic x Aluya, jual rendang n ziela jual puding n kek batik

Finally, reunion with varsity collegue, Ziela and adik-adik junior, Mem Aluya , NazrahAyu.

Again terima kasih yang tak terhingga kepada yang berusaha Tn Haji Ariffin dan krew-krew yang bertugas dan Tuan Syed Hasrin selaku Konsul General di Dubai yang bermurah hati menyediakan tapak bazaar FOC.
