eid festival & indo eid gathering...
after only about 4 hours of raya on Thursday, we continued our celebration the whole day yesterday...
went to the eid festival in Preston since the one in Broadmeadows was too far away... thanx to kak zizah who informed us bout this one... kalau tak, tatau pun ada di Preston tu... seblum sampai tu sempat sesat2 dulu di tengah2 panas tengahari buta... nama jer baca peta b4 pegi tapi hampeh gak... tula abg, bagi org tak reti baca peta ni hafal jalan huhuhu... we walked along the wrong street, manala nak jumpa tempat tu... sempat tawaf satu kawasan perumahan, makan aiskrim & tanya kat org dlm kedai jual aiskrim tu, patah balik baru jumpa heheh... punya la penat...
hmmm lots of fun? not really la i would say... more like a funfair... funfair yg tak berapa ramai org pun... maybe sbb masa tu tengahari yg panas buta... we only bought some middle eastern food... sat under a tent & ate, snapped some pictures which were not too interesting to be shared neither here nor in fp & left...
nasib baikla our next stop was a bit more interesting... ibu invited us to an indonesian eid gathering in a hall near a park somewhere in coburg... eventhough it was for indonesian community, takdela segan sgt nak pi since most of them were the same people who i met during Rossy's birthday last time... even the organizer of this event was Bu Tati, Rossy's mum... ha, yg nie best... seronok tgk semua org dgn baju raya yg kalerful & macam2 pesen... kat mesia pun rasanya susahla nak jumpa org pakai baju raya macam2 camnie... macam artis pun ada heheh... especially the one worn by the teenagers... yerla baju raya derang ada ala2 indo + middle eastern + western...
makanan dia pun... wah best2... mostly were aunthentic indo food... gado2, lontong, es teller, sambal goreng tapi tokleh lawan sambal goreng mak ngah kat kampung... err tu jerla makanan yg nonie tau nama... yg lain2 tu adala rupa cam makanan mesia gak, tapi tataula nama indo dia... even had something like asam pedas ikan duri... pergh sedapnya... dah lama tak makan my fav lauk tu...
dah kenyang, borak2 sket ngan org2 yg nonie kenal... pastu bila semua dah mula ngobrol2 bahasa jawa, nonie pun kluar jalan2 amik angin kat taman luar dewan dgn ad sambil tunggu ibu... seronok dok kat taman tu... rasa macam nyaman jer wpun dlm keadaan panas tu sebab banyak pokok2 & angin pun sepoi2 bahasa... nampak ramai org2 Islam lepak2, berkelah kat taman tu... ada pengantin amik2 gambar... tgk budak2 main kriketla, bola sepak la, kejar2 la... rugi plak terasa pi habiskan bateri amik gambar yg tak baper best kat eid festival Preston tadi... amik gambar majlis yg ni dgn ibu2 & gambar suasana kat taman ni lagi best... takde rezeki, nak wat camna...
on our way back, semua org flat tido2 dlm tram...
next gathering is going to be our farewell BBQ kot... but for now, i need to cocoon myself with all the notes for my exams this & next fridays... wish me luck ppl!
