For the first time eversince we moved to our new home, we had our friends and relatives over as part of our Hari Raya Open House. 180 invites were sent, 90 on Saturday and another 90 on Sunday. The invitation was from 11am to 11pm.
The menu consists of Lontong, Mutton Rendang, Chicken Kurma, Lodeh (Lontong vegetable gravy), Egg sambal and "Mee Birthday" (White Fried BeeHoon- like those you always find at birthday parties thus the derived name). Eh, lapar lak perut ni .... Thanks to Cik Mas and Cik Nordin (Datuk'), our caterer, we received numerous compliments on the food. Not to mention that it was very reasonably charged too!
Despite the heavy rain that Saturday afternoon, our guests trickled in. Some were even drenched in the rain. Tapi takpe kan Yati, jln basah2 dlm hujan ngan hubby mesti romantik kan. Hehe...Soon, by the evening, there were many guests in our home. We only managed to snap a few pics coz most of the time we were buzy entertaining our guests.
My hubb's secondary school friend: Mas & Family
Marina & Ramli's twins: Haziq and Haziqah
Fairuz (eh mana the signature mat rawker hand sign tu? ) Yanti & Family.
Panas ke Kak Embong? My mum' s family...
That Saturday ended with the whole bunch of 20+ "PI-kia"s who came in at around 10 pm and stayed till around 12mn. (PI-kia is the term used to describe the avid gamers of Warhammer 40K etc from the shop PI, of which my Hubb is a faithful member of since his secondary school days) Juz watch their antics....tsk..tsk..tsk..
The PI-kias
My family: still smiling ...tapi penat oi!
Sunday was solely for invites on my in-laws side. Here are some pics..

On the whole, the weekend could not have been a successful one if not for my mum, parent's in- law and siblings. Thank you Mama (both mine and my hubb's) for the ice jelly cocktail. Thanks Tam, Alif and Teh for helping out in the kitchen and the errands to the shop. Thanks A-Ngah for helping with the shop errands and to A-An for making that trip down to save us with the shortage of Hari Raya cookies.
Thanks to our friends and guests who came to our home. We had a lovely day having you in our home. Special thanks to guests who came with gifts. We were not expecting them at all!
