Raya was a quiet family affair. Photo session malam-malam buta coz Mama had to go to work that day and the kids kena pergi sekolah. Abah pulak was away in Amsterdam to fetch Jaja.
Our Raya fare, my first attempt at rendang tok, pulut kuning, instant lemang ketupat, nasi impit, kuah kacang and the kids' favourite, lontong.ISTANBUL
Since Jaja is here, we took the opportunity to go on a family holiday ke Istanbul (3-hour flight jer from Hannover) on the 2nd day of Raya, hence the baju kurung/ baju melayu while sightseeing. We got weird stares from people but what the heck. Some tourist even asked Syirah to take photos with them, jangan depa ingat itu traditional dress orang Turki dah! While the rest don teh attire for the whole day, Mama and Angah tukar uniform after the posing2x session. Mama sebab she has put on so much weight since puasa (org lose weight during puasa!) and Raya, baju dah sendat, not comfortable to go walking2x. Angah biasa ler...nak maintain cool. Baju pink tak macho laaaaa.....
Legoland @ DanemarkWe also took the opportunity to make a short trip to Denmark since it is only a 4- hour drive from Hannover. Hakeem la.....asyik nak pergi Lego Land. The one in Billund is pretty big with outdoor rides although not so exciting for the bigger kids. Ada one or two rides jer yang Jaja and Syirah enjoyed. One of them entails the two sisters being tossed up, down, left, right, centre while being strapped in a chair. Kind of like in a spaceship. Queue panjang but depa sanggup tunggu and naik 2 kali.
Hakeem with the owner of the home-stay that we stayed the nite at. It was so cosy and cheap too. Ada pets that we can play with , swing tied to the apple tree, apple (masam, manis, crunchy...mcm mempelam muda) and plum trees with fruits hanging ready to be plucked in the spacious backyard and a huge trampoline to jump yourself silly.
