2nd Day of Aidilfitri 2008@SIRASARI

2nd day of Hari Raya was the Raya Open-House @ SIRASARI.
There were around 30 invited guests who came in from 4.30 – 10.00pm. As usual, I had to be in the kitchen from morning till noon preparing chicken rendang, lontong, shrimp sambal, satay sauce and keep the satay warm. Never had Raya Open-House on my own before and for this first time I was trying so hard to distinguish between the Raya Open-House @ SIRASARI to Party @ SIRASARI; they are actually the same.
Friends arrived in half surprises and in full as well. Exchanged handshakes, hugs & cheek-to-cheek. Some brought bouquet of flowers; some brought cakes; while others with new friends if not their hand phones. Stories are shared and rumors are spread. What a day to have all the close ones together under one roof.
