The Ghazali and Khadijah clan berkumpul for hari raya at bukit jelutong, shah alam this year. kakak's place. ayob and family joined us from Kuala Pilah. 4 families = 19 of us. when we used to balik raya in Ipoh when arwah Mak Yah was around, we would be taking family photos before the duit raya session for the kids. We continued the tradition at bukit jelutong, not as many but enough to cause havoc. if we gather for raya in ipoh, there would be at least 13 families and that could easily be 40 0f us...the endless makan as we adopted the all day dining concept. this year, the usual, lemang (all the way from Kuala Pilah), rendang daging, rendang ayam, lontong, nasi impit, kuah kacang spread the table. Kakak made nasi tomato. All those kilos shed during ramadhan, was easily piled back by noon.
