In a galaxy far, far away... Eid Mubarak!
Eid Mubarak and Selamat Hari Raya to everyone! This year, for the first time, Mak and Abah came to spend raya with us, so we had a nice quiet celebration, just the 4 of us. We had the raya breakfast of pulut (glutinous rice), rendang ayam (chicken rendang) and sambal tumis daging (beef sambal) but took no pictures of the food as we were too busy chowing down the morning of the 1st of Shawwal.
After the food, we then all got dressed in our Raya finery, took a bunch of pictures and then did the ritual salam-salam and asking of forgiveness of each other, as is tradition for a Malaysian Eid. Take a look of the pictures of Mak and Abah with us for the first time during Raya, and because it was quite cold outside and our Malaysian thin cotton materials, we only took pictures indoors.
Mouse over the pictures for the captions.
After all that picture taking, I got back to work and everybody else took the day off and relaxed. Just like Abah here:
Selamat Hari Raya, maaf zahir batin (Sila salams with everyone). And onward to Phoenix and the Southwest USA!
