GOODBYE SYAWAL 2008..
We had a mini open hse for the family on Sat.. and i got a sweet surprise from Aunty Nur.. she gave me a bouquet of flowers all the way from South Africa (so she says..)....

loved it!.. thanks Aunty Nur!!

and thanks to the family who came and enjoyed the food... and of coz, thanks to Mak, i've got mee siam to serve that day and my now mastered Shepherd's Pie.. dunno wat we'd do without her!! :D


Then on Sunday, we went beraya with the SP Gang.. our last visitors for Syawal 2008. As usual, it was a kecohrable affair esp since Ayu's around.. hahahhaa.. :D



plus, now that the kids are all "grown up" - we can see all their silly antics..
1. Fauzi - the emo boy - he's got his own merajuk style which we found too cute!
2. Adam - the SNAG - he's like the only "grown up" amg the kiddies and he takes a freakin long time to warm up to all of us.. apparently, he only does this with us! hmmm.. i wonder y?!...
3. Eshan - the social butterfly - the name says it all.. and u'll know y when u see him.. ;) hahaa...
4. Adawiyah - the smiley one - always smiling whenever she catches us watching her..
5. Akid - the fearless one - so far, he's let anyone of us to carry him and he's the only one amg the boys who's not afraid of the little tortoise


anyways, since our love nest was the last order of the day, it was juz apt that i serve dessert, thinking that ours was the 6th and last hse, i'm pretty sure food will be served at every hse - WRONG!!... ours was the 4th hse. Only Ayu served a variety of food. Ani served kuih. Skipped Bai and Naz's hses and Ms Sinus - like me! tot that ours was the last few hses and we'd be too full to eat anything - only cooked noodle soup.. kwang.. kwang.. kwang...


howell!.... wat to do??..... dessert it is at our love nest.. and wat better way to try out my long awaited apple crumble!!... hehehee.... thanks to Oven Haven, i got the apple crumble recipe i needed... thank u SOOOOO much!!...


Of course, my apple crumble din look anything like hers.. but taste-wise - PASS!!... :D al-hamdulillah..



and before they all left, Sahiril wanted to take a pix with the Liverpool boy for posterity as well as for "luck" for his Liverpool team.. i'm not sure how well Liverpool did that day.. but Eshan sure gave his winning smile - thanks to Naz's prompts... ;)


so yeah.. that basically wraps up our Raya this year.. not that we did much Raya-ing.. hehehe...
