People said Kelantan is the best place to celebrate raya haji. Yeah true. Because we celebrate raya haji just like celebrating raya puasa. I still remember how scared i am when my father brought me to watch the slaughtering process. I was 6 years old (if i'm not mistaken) and when they started to slaughter the cow with a big sharp knife (or parang kot?) , I ran away and screamed. Haha it was funny,but yeah I really scared.And until now, I can't watch people slaughtering animals (except chicken) :p Knife? Blood? Oh no no no.
The most exciting part celebrating raya haji is when we got lots and lots of meat. Then, we'll cook satay, daging bakar,daging goreng and my favorite one,of course singgang daging (or is it singgan? i don't know what others call it) .Yum. Ma cooks the most delicious singgang daging in the world.And serunding daging for the extra meat. Like raya puasa, as usual lah we'll bake our tradition cakes! Chocolate cake which is everyone's favorite and pineapple upside down cake which is my father's favorite because he doesn't like the bitter taste of black chocolate :) Ahh I miss that so much ...
And today is my first day working at the Victoria hotel. Tiring :( I feel like I am a cinderella in a big big hotel doing cleaning,changing bed sheet, vacuuming, washing dishes etc. And now i'm sick. Oh sungguh manja badan ini.
Anyway, I still invited my friends to come over and I cooked nasi kerabu. Alhamdulillah. With the presence of the sisters,friends and kids, I feel my raya haji is complete. They are my family here and I'm one of them.
