Salam Lebaran VI

Here we are at eyang's house (embah's younger sister) with some of our relatives.
Embah's great grandchildren, Wirdah & Adam.
My cousin who is seven months pregnant with another baby boy on the way due this December. Embah's going to have her third cicit soon!
Phat's sudden attempt to join in the picture. -.-
Lepakzzz time!
The black cat wanted to enter nek yah's house and because both of my sisters were freaking out just by the sight of it, i had to carry the poor kitty out of their way. :(
Tried my best to edit out the blemishes but i there was nothing i could do about my cracked lips.
My fifteen year old brother with his new bangs and glasses.
Before you know it, one week of raya down.

Burial day

This was after the burial rites that took place at Pusara Abadi, Muslim Cemetery earlier that morning the day after he left us. It was just beyond us how nenek would go around saying that atuk was sleeping in the room where his body was resting that fateful day. You can see below how much papa resembles nenek; like mother, like son.
What on earth was my mum thinking?!
Trust me, it wasn't all smile a few hours back.

Salam Lebaran V

Yayi Wang & his antics, as usual. He left right before i arrived although i did manage a quick greeting at the staircase.
I reached home just in time to meet my cousins from Brunei before they departed last Friday. Ever since they migrated there, they have been celebrating raya here every alternate year.
Phat drove them down to the nearest shop to get more sparklers but it was already closed by the time they got there.
Come back again soon darlings!

Salam Lebaran IV

Almost everyone from yayi Amin's (who is my late yayi's younger brother) clan came to visit last Monday, including his eldest daughter and family from Brunei. Honestly speaking, my mum and i could not make out 50% of what she was saying because of her thick Bruneian accent. This is her youngest son, Adi.
Sofea, yayi's only grandaughter, the aspiring ballerina.
Yayi's leg got worse and he could not carry on with the rest of the day's visiting. So he stayed for a while more before heading back home to retire for the day.
