Eid Al-Adha @ JayBee

Last Tues 16 Nov, all of us made our move to JB after a sumptuous Raya dinner at Mama’s place di Bukit Jelutong. We started our journey at 10.30pm and reached JB at 3.30am. Long drive indeed sebab traffic jam – all is taking the opportunity to go balik kampung for the Raya Haji celebration.

So the Raya Haji went as expected. Pak Lambak korban-ed a cow and as usual I was one of the guys that helped with the ‘necessary’. Melapah is not 1 of my talents. So pak mertua ku did most of that with abang Pit; a family friend. The melapah session was attended mostly by Pak Lambak’s son’s. Aku tolong at the packaging area. Hahahah.

On Thursday, the kids and I with Shasha keluar cari barang and stuff plus ‘pistol’ utk Aiman, Izahin and Aisya. Asyik berebut pistol aje and 1 end up crying not getting to play with the pistol, aku belik sekali tiga. Tembak la korang puas2! Tak cukup lagi 30 aku boleh beli ehem ehem.. Mcm arwah Ahmad Nisfu use to say.. Hahaha that night we all went out to Orkid Steamboat restaurant at Taman Daya JB. They offer a RM18 buffet all you can eat setup. Good deal indeed as we ate for I can’t remember how long but it was plenty of eating night that time. Kenyang siut! Must go if you’re in JB. I fully recommend.

Friday pulak was lite and easy. Man with family and mine went to Mak Tijah’s place – ziarah time Raya Haji ni. Makan toksah cakap la. Tak pernah putus suap. We left for Tebrau City in search of Creme Brule drink at about 6pm. Traffic was bad as it was rainy and after office hour. Dekat sejam jugak la aku drive. Sampai sana, we drank, ate and enjoyed ourselves at the arcade at the place. Sakit pinggang siut main basket ball shoot kat situ lelama. I’m getting old.. Sigh.

Saturday is a half day as we need to leave for Shah Alam at about noon. That morning Uda took us for good breakfast at Hwa Mui Kopitiam at Jalan Dhoby. Sedap yarabbi.. Again, another place I would definitely recommend. Unfortunately its not a midnight lepak place as they only operate up to 6pm daily. But if you’re an early bird, give it a go whenever you’re in JB.

Pictures? I upload them once I reach Shah Alam today insya’Allah. Got some good ones and some of them are taken by Aisya herself! Dasyat..
