Raya 2010

Taken at our first open house in Sentul with Farhah's family!

After nearly 2 weeks, finally i managed to log in for a new post! It's been awhile don't you think so? So many photos! Phew, glad that i've emailed them out to siblings and friends. Now, here's a brief summary of my raya this year! Let me story u with photos instead with the help of some lines here and there. =)

The Ooi Family Raya 2010


Adik, Farhah & Kakak

This year Raya was abit different for us. Not only we celebrated the first day of Raya in KL for the very first time but also we had my sister in law, Farhah with us altogether! Extra member of the family, means extra hoo-haa added! Lol...she was so excited celebrating with both her families in KL.

Helmi & Chelle

Abit of a drama going on here

With mama & Jay

Wearing yellow on the first day of Raya, i headed down to FatSpoon to assist my cousin at work & was glad to know Helmi, Jay, Alang & friends and others came to cafe clad in baju melayus and kurungs! So lawa semuanya...the spirit of raya was awesome! I loved that moment that day.

The 2nd day of Raya, we had our moments of bermaaf-maafan & bersalam-salaman with our parents and a snap of family photo before leaving for JB. *Balik kampung....Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh...balik kampung...

We went crazy with the pillows in the car

Nasi ambang at Pagoh R&R...YUMS!!!!

This time balik kampung also was a productive one, family visits, visited my friend at Kampung Majidee, had tour around JB town, had lots of of makan sessions & of course my brother's birthday celebration! FYI, the 2nd night we were there, the night sky was prettily embellished with the crescent moon shining & a little blinking star positioned just right above it! Such a pretty sight!

Managed to snap it!

Fruit tartlet as his cake!

Steamboat with cousins

Beraya di rumah baru mak long!

Featuring...








Asam pedas JB @ Asam Pedas Botak Restaurant!
*Slurp Slurppppp....zaaah!!

This Botak Restaurant is run by a chinese restaurateur and all his food are halal & seriously good. While we were there, customers were in and out non stop! I bet they must be the regulars. It seemed i can't stop sipping the gravy while at it. I even used the ladle, mind you! hahaha...Even makansutra had covered it on his blog! With a good rating of 3 bowls, then it goes hand in hand with his tagline DIE DIE MUST TRY!

Beraya di rumah pak jang!
Here, i'm always looking forward to mak jang's pudding!

A little posing session at a local boutique @ Danga Bay & teh tarik session @ Bandar Baru Uda

DINATOIRE &
FEI REGIONAL DRESSAGE FORUM (3 DEC 08 - 5 DEC 08)

Before Raya Haji, i was super duper busy with FEI Regional Dressage Forum, which was held last week at Palace of the Golden Horses. People from around the world came for the forum and it was a good turn out. There were 4 speakers that were invited for the talk and presentation. It was very interesting for me as i never have thought of dressage or horses being able to dance, skip or do any rhythmic movement. Now i know more or less about it on what is Piaffe, Pirouette & Half Passe. hehehe...i sound so good being able to talk about horsey world. Yeeeeehaaaaw!

I was nearly as tall as the bunting & sofia mid close-up


I think she was trying to kiss me..=P

All petite and stood with the same heights...Then via the giant inter-framed..
hehe..

APV & APV's supplier & designer respectively..Paul & Khairil

The crowd for the dinatoire at PGH


One of the speakers, Dr. Rico

Listeners at the Theaterrette (is that how it is spelt?)


This is the workshop taught by Dr. Rico on how to cope up with stress

3 days and it was tiring. But i had fun listening to the speakers on dressage and the whole judging process in becoming a judge for dressage...so being the girl who managed the laptop and projector has the advantages. hehe...but being the photographer for the workshop was fun. Not using SLR or that big lens-professional-looking camera, my digi canon cam was good enuff. I love u camera!! *mwah-sayang-mwah...
(As long as you have the angles and a little bit of creativity to capture then you are alreaady good bebeh!! I love my talent. hek..)

BAJU MELAYU LELAKI SHOPPING
(6 DEC 08)

The next day, which was 2 days before Raya Haji, i accompanied a friend to do some shopping. Not just any ordinary shopping, this is baju melayu shopping, from head to toe (songkok, baju melayu, samping & capal) the whole complete set of the baju melayu...FOR A GUY...i think i did myself proud. hahaha..well, thanks to some friends who recommended Wisma Yakin to me lah of course!

I wish to share some pix now but the only pics from my camera was the time when we walked around...no pics of my friend trying on the baju melayu.. =S...heheh...so i guess Christmas decos in Malaysia lah i'll show u all..haha

White Christmas tree & Lars, the German dude =)

We stopped by for desserts first before lunch...mmm!

We went out around 10am and first stop was Masjid Jamek & Wisma Yakin. Then we moved on to Pavilion. Next...we walked to KLCC pulak. hehehe...then i snapped another Christmas deco...

KLCC tallest Christmas tree! Quite boring dah.. so i think the Pavilion do is better (walaupun it doesn't concern me lah)

The whole baju melayu shopping-jenjalan-makan-snapping-episode ended around 5.15pm. It was really casual and relaxing. I really enjoyed it. To top it off, the weather was perfect, it was bright cloudy in the morning and only when we were about to end the day when it rained. Memang best..i luv!

...

Then malam pulak...

Jeng Jeng Jeng...Drums & electric guitars?
Wanna guess what i do? heheh...

This story will be told in the future entry. Suspense abit.. =)

RAYA HAJI (8 DEC 08)

After 2 years of celebrating Raya Haji in Kuala Lumpur, this time i balik JB pulak. I took extra 2 days holiday, sooo i really had a destress time after events. Penat but it took my mind off some things, which was good. Raya was pretty simple..Sembahyang Raya Adha in the morning, photo session, makan, played with nephew and niece, reading, TV and more makan! Itu jelah i buat most of the time kalau balik JB. Relax gila...

I'll just show the pics randomly..so at least u know what i did lah. =)
