Aidilfitri Achievement 2009 – Disappointing!

Ketupat Count: 15

I am sorely disappointed in myself. Only 15 ketupats this year? Man… I’m losing my touch! Hopefully I’ll be able to eat more than 15 ketupats next year. Gambarimasu!

On a different note, the highlight of this year’s Aidilfitri for me was not the food nor the feel of Aidilfitri. It was our (my 2 sisters, my cousin, and I) attempt to take pictures of ourselves jumping in the air… IN BAJU KURUNG! Here are two of the best shots we got:

Note: Can you see my flying shoe? Hee Hee Hee.

P9200833 This one’s awesome coz our uncle, Pak Ngah, happened to be passing by, and we were like “Come jump with us!” and HE DID! LOL!

Of course, Aidilfitri wouldn’t be Aidilfitri without our tradition of taking silly pictures of ourselves :)

P9200757 1st day of Aidilfitri…

P9210888 2nd day of Aidilfitri…

P9210886 BUT… in reality, we actually do look nice when we’re not making dumb faces :)

Oh, did I mention that we took our cats along with us for balik kampung?

Of course, when you’re in the rural area, cats aren’t the only animal you’re going to encounter…

P9190731 Centipede… (A dead one. My dad killed it.)

P9210901 Leech… (My mom had an ingrown thumbnail and her finger was filling up with puss, so my dad found a leech to suck it all out. It worked!)

Well, that just about sums up my Aidilfitri this year. How was yours? :)
