EidulAdha Celebration

We actually very seldom go back home for EidulAdha celebration. But then this year BBH wanted to celebrate it at his kampong. So OK, since it is coincidently fall on my off days so we went back to his parents.. and during the 2nd day we went to his granny house.. there it was!.. the ritual to sacrifice, event of the celebration. For this we had a cow, but I didnot go closely to capture the cow's picture.. all I got was my darlings picture :))

Look! Hannan was kind of shocked to see how they slaughtered the cow. Come on Hannan, be brave!

And there was Hani sitting on BBH lap..  dear BBH, it is totally not difficult for you to melt me like ice cream you know~  :P

It was a good one, as BBH's  granny house is located at Selama, Perak. It is truly village style in everything. We cooked the meat to a few type of dishes, I did one course :P  then,.. you know,.. my favorite event. Mentekedarah :P hihihihi...

By the way, do you guys know that there are some sunnah during the day?

Sunnah of Eid   Wake up early.  Prepare for personal cleanliness, take care of details of clothing, etc.  Take a Ghusl (bath) after Fajr. Brush your teeth. Dress up, putting on best clothes available, whether new or cleaned old ones.  Use perfume (men only).  Have breakfast on Eid-al-Fitr before leaving for prayer ground. On    Eid-al-Adha, eat breakfast after Salaat or after sacrifice if you are    doing a sacrifice.  Pay Zakaat-al-Fitr before Salaat-al-Eid (on Eid-al-Fitr).  Go to prayer ground early.  Offer Salaat-al-Eid in congregation in an open place except when whether is not permitting like rain, snow, etc.  Use two separate route to and from the prayer ground.  Recite the following Takbir on the way to Salaat and until the beginning of Salaat-al-Eid:  Allaho-Akber, Allaho-Akber. La ila-ha ill-lal-lah. Allaho-Akber, Allaho-Akber. Wa-lilahill hamd. (Allah is great, Allah is great. There is no god but Allah. Allah is great, Allah is great. And all praises are for Allah).

WFH and spongebob

There are certain times when I requested my manager to allow me to work from home, especially when:

1- I am not feeling well
2- Hubs and kids not feeling well
3- Transportation issue, etc

So, there was this day lah I worked from home as usual. Since our study room is not ready yet, i tended to use dining table as my workplace. The gurls as usual will be watching cartoons or playing games at living room. I was calling AT&T to get an update on T3 outage at States and talked to somebody name Gary.

Me : Yes, Gary.. You said your name was Gary, right?

and then si Hannan ran to me and ask:

Hannan : Mommy.. mommy, mommy talk to Gary spongebob ke? ha mommy?

And I was on my softphone mic, obviously the guy over there heard what she said and he was laughing like hell. hahahahahha

Lesson:
======================
Try to minimize working from home, and if you do, better stay away from your kids or mute your phone!
