I simply love it when my mom's two sisters come over with their families. Us cousins grew up together and it's always a pleasure to be able to get together once in a while. For a moment, when everyone was busy chatting and helping around the kitchen, it almost felt like we were back in Mok's house in Kota Bharu. Those were the days...
My favourite moment of all - there's always one - is when Mama, Mama Yah and Mak Long sit down together at the table when everyone's done eating. They'd be talking about the old days, the pains of dealing with juvenile delinquencies and, this time around, the woes of Mok's old age tantrums. It's not so much the stories that amuse me, but more of how they talk about it. The expressions, the exclamations, the personal insights and opinions. Nothing goes inhibited during these sessions. It's almost like a home away from home.
The only ones missing today is Abang Yi and Kak Long and Ayah Long. The clan would otherwise have been complete.
List of offsprings:
Mak Long : Kak Long, Kak Yana
Mama Yah (Mak Ngah) :Abg Yi,Kak Na,Kak Wa, Liza, Wani, Miya, Azie
Mak Su (My mom) : Nani, Lin, Omar, Hakim
The menu was simple : Daging goreng ala mamak, ayam masak merah, kerabu mangga and acar, topped with fruits and chocolate fruit cake. I really have to applaud my mom for this. Cooking has never been her forte, but she never fails to pull together a mouth-water feast that's beyond any complaint.
I did my best to convince Mok to come over for this Raya, but to no avail. I hate to think of her alone in the house, with no one to keep her company. I had her on my mind all through today's raya lunch. I hope she's ok.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha to all.
