Kulim Raya 2009

In 2009, we celebrated Raya Puasa in Kulim Kedah with my siblings. Since my late mother died in 2003, we make a point to meet every alternate years to ensure the young cousins form my 7 siblings knew/recognize each other.

We drove to Kulim in 2 cars. Stayed in the local hotel since all my 3 sibling's house are taken up by the outstation members from Alor Star and KL. We reached Kulim just on time for break fasting for the month of Ramadhan. On the first Raya morning, we assembled at Noin's house in Padang Serai for the gathering. Everyone poses their best dressing. As usual, rendang ketupat was served. We had Nasi Minyak as the main dish. Later we celebrate at Sidah house in Kulim. We then drove to our late parent burial place in Permatang Pasir to read doa.

Had some photo session at our family home to remember the good old days as a kid where we grew up.

Try to visit Kedai Mat but it was closed. Then we went to Parit Buntar to visit my uncle Che gu Rahman Noordin who live there. I had lived with him during my younger days in Permatang Pasir Bandar Baharu Kedah.
