Sometime before Eid Al-Fitr (Hari Raya)

 There is something I always do. Started from 2nd to 3rd week of Ramadhan. It becomes a 'must-do' for me even if its only for a few.




Yes, the preparation of Hari Raya Greeting cards. It actually grows from the last previous years. Maybe next year I hope to get some back in return hehehe. But its still ok. I love the nostalgic feeling of sending greeting cards. We may have advance technology, but to actually get the greeting cards physically is still the best feeling ever.


Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Maaf Zahir dan Batin




Ramadhan 1442 / 2021 (not in chronological order)

We are celebrating Ramadhan this year a bit different. Now, it's only the 3 of us. But Dad will never be forgotten. We may seem like not caring at all to some people, but we have our own way to remember him.

But, Alhamdulillah, we have been blessed with health and peace in heart too.

We are celebrating it. We have been going out and about too. Mental and emotional health is important too.

Here are some pictures, not in chronological orders, of some food we love while breaking our fast, what we call 'Sungkai' or some people may know Iftar.

Above : When we have our 'Sungkai' at Bann Nucha, The Mall. It was a Thai Indonesian Fusion Cuisine.
Above: Having supper at BBQ and Grill Restaurant and Catering, Kiulap, a Pakistani food restaurant. Love the Naan and the Pakistani tea. Their other food are nice too




above: When we had buffet for 'Sungkai'.... at Kausar Cafe, Kiulap.

We normally don't go for buffet, but we can accept it at Kausar Cafe. It was one of dad's fave place too.





Above:  This is when we crave for 'Ambuyat' set and we decided to go to the capital. There's a foodcourt at the Yayasan Shopping Complex building. And when you go for 'Sungkai' at the capital, you will get to hear the cannon 'BOOM' marking its time to break the fast or 'Sungkai' without worrying to switch on your radio or anything. That 'Boom' was loud enough to be heard in most parts of the capital city.

Below:    This was Pre-Ramadhan, means sometime before Ramadhan. Just a quick chill at Aminah Arif, Batu Bersurat branch, after visiting dad's grave. My nephew, Aqil, and 'Nini Bungsu' (grandmother's youngest sister) joining us too.



'Everyday is different now that there's only 3. Sometimes I forget that we are now 3. His very existence is still felt although its been almost 5 months now'.....


Note: Although I have mentioned restaurants and cafe, We went there on our own and pay with our own money. We are NOT sponsored to do so.

2nd Local ATC (Artist Trade Card) Exchange

  This is our 2nd ATC exchange and with more people joining in. It was fun. I made a short video of me receiving and unboxing it. I'm no...
