On the 8th of December 2008, we celebrated Eid-ul-Adha 1429 H. In the morning, Sri and me stayed behind to take care of the kids while the others went to the nearest mosque to pray. Aliah went with them and did something embarrassing during the prayer...hehehe. My father-in-law was a bit disgruntled with the Sultan Kelantan because Tuanku was late. They were unfortunate enough to be in the same mosque where the Sultan's praying...hehehe. They came back around 9.30. After breakfast, we checked out of the hotel and went to Mak Anjang's house.
The cousins...
At Mak Anjang's house we ate nasi minyak...delicious! There we met our cousins Abg. Pian and family and Man and his family. It seemed that Man was 'expanding' his family. Congratulations, Man. Anyway, we made our move to the next destination around 11.30.
The whole family plus Mak Anjang!
Mummy with her sister, Mak Anjang... they look alike, huh?!!
On our way to Kuala Trengganu, we had a little bit of a detour. Actually, my father-in-law missed a turning (well, turned in to early, actually) and we were 'lost' in the middle of kampung roads. Because of that we had to use this little rickety bridge to get across. I was a bit squeamish when I saw the bridge but alhamdulillah we made it across. I'm not being overdramatic because as we were crossing the bridge, I could see the raging Kelantan river underneath! I also saw that people were taking the monsoon season quite lightly. I saw a lot of kids playing near the water (with no adult supervision!).
On the bridge...
Some of the kids (braving the weather) along the coast...
Somewhere in Batu Burok, we had a brief stopover at my father-in-law's ex-colleague. He was involved in an accident and broke his arm and hurt his feet. After that we continued our journey to our accommodation in Kuala Trengganu.
Amir was busy playing...
Our accommodation was situated right in front of the KT airport. It's a row of houses which had been turned into a 'homestay' concept. 4 bedrooms at rm300 a night was quite cheap if compared to staying in a hotel. The only problem was because of Eid, not many shops are open to buy food. At least we had dinner at Che' Rah's house, my fahter-in-law's sister. We ate nasi dagang...Hmm, what can I say... yummy!
KT airport...looked very different from a few years ago...
The kids watching TV...
They had nothing better to do, so played under the stairs...sigh...
Angah and all his kids...having fun...
That night we just relaxed while watching TV... the kids amused themselves with so many games. The adults tried to enjoy the movies but for the life of me what that 'anak halal''s all about? Very confusing because as usual malay movies lack the continuity of the plot to make much sense...sigh...what's new, huh?!!
