Salam Lebaran II

@ SGH to visit arwah atuk who was then in the normal ward before he had to be relocated to the isolation ward. For those who haven't already know, my late paternal grandfather passed away on the afternoon of 15th September at SGH with his family by his bed side. Unfortunately, i wasn't around when he let out his last breath but i did spend the entire night before at the hospital having to rush there at 2 in the morning after receiving an emergency phone call from his doctor. May he rest in peace, amin.
Having a quick lunch before visiting our relatives' house! Mama wanted us to save one of our new baju kurung for when we all go visiting together because on that day papa was working and Phat was out studying. So, Seri and i eventually wore the same thing as we did on the second day of raya last year.
From Outram to Tampines to our bik mama's house where bik tini and her family were there too all dressed up in bright orange bangladeshi style.
My aunt (mama's younger sister) who is also my surrogate mother.
Embah and two of her cucu bujang.
Adam, my nephew with his mohawk!
From Tampines all the way back to Boon Lay to nyayi Ana's and yayi Amin's new house.
Reached home to be greeted by none other than our Bangladeshi neighbours next door.

Hi Nini, surrogate mother also refers to a person who takes on all or part of the role mother to another person. In my case, she breast-fed me & me sister when my mum's breasts hurts. Wow. Thanks for your concern though. :)
