Tomorrow is my birthday according to the Hijrah calendar. I was born on pagi raya Aidil Adha. Mom was busy cooking nasi minyak in the kitchen when she suddenly feel the contractions. Tapi sempat siapkan masak the main dish, yang tak sempat cuma acar saja. Mom delivered me at our home back then at Jalan Rajawali, Larkin with the help of bidan kerajaan. I was born a healthy 4kg baby.
Terima kasih mak, atas pengorbanan mak. Bergadai nyawa nak lahirkan baby yang demok tu... 4 kilo babe.. no joke!
To all my friends out there, Selamat Hari raya Aidiladha dan selamat berkorban apa saja. I remember last raya Aidiladha was a quiet one. I was heavily pregnant at that time so we decided to just celebrate raya at home. My in-laws pun balik kampung Segamat at that time. Sayu ok. I cooked nasi lemak with sambal udang. Then my sisters came and brought nasi briyani, lemang, laksa Johor... Tiba2 meja penuh dengan makanan dan tiba2 rumah yang sunyi pun jadi meriah.
For tomorrow, we plan to celebrate Raya at my in-laws' place in Ampang. I plan to cook rendang daging. All my life, I have only cooked this dish twice, thanks to my dear friend, Umie, sebab bagi recipe yang sangat sempoi tapi sedap (sempoi sebab tak payah pakai kerisik, tapi rasanya macam pakai kerisik).
Doakanlah semoga misi masak rendang untuk mertuaku berjaya.
