We went back to Jelebu on malam raya. First time experiencing traffic jam along the LEKAS highway. It wasn’t that bad actually but for a highway that’s usually extremely empty, it’s worth mentioning lah. Jam nya cuma dekat2 tol Setul. 2 km beratur to pay toll. Itu pun, the queue was actually only for cash paying users. Yang Smart Tag and Touch N Go… lengang! Biasalah Malaysians kan… selagi boleh potong queue… potonggggggg. Sebab tu lah orang yang nak guna Smart Tag macam saya pun, tersangkuttt lah jugak di belakang orang2 bayar tunai yang tak reti2 nak beratur itu.

Yang saya paling tak faham dari dulu sampai sekarang ialah kenapa orang sanggup beratur nak bayar tunai daripada nak gunakan kad Touch N Go tu? I can understand if some people hesitate over buying the Smart Tag reader which costs around RM100 (small price to pay for convenience if you ask me), but Touch N Go bukannya mahal pun kalau nak beli kad tu. Tak sanggup nak beratur, tapi tak nak usaha pegi beli TNGo tu. Lepas tu, potong queue! Ish! Tak faham lah!

Eh.. laaa.. terkeluar topik sikit nampaknya saya. :D

Anyway, the next day, korban started at about 10am and lucky for us, the place for the korban is just a few metres away from my MIL’s house. MIL insisted that we go see it as we have our share in it. So, berangkut lah saya anak beranak ke tempat penyembelihan. :). I say berangkut, because Your Highness Drama Queen yang seorang itu still refused to walk, hence Ayah kena dukung/angkut!

That’s “our” cow. Earlier on, My MIL kept saying “lembu kito yang warna meghah tu ha!” Puas  saya cari… In my head I pictured a literally red cow! Silly me! :)

Afiq and his cousins. On his right is Arif who is 2 years older, and the one in pink is Hakim who is only 10 days younger than Afiq. Best buddies ni. They were the most excited ones lah.

Right before the sembelih:

Afiq: Wahhh… orang tu nak sembelih… errr… kerbu (kerbau + lembu)… eh…. lembing…. (lembu + kambing) eh… lembu lah!!!!

Hahahahahaha Nampak sangat budak bandar nya tak? Hahahahaha…

Adreena was there too. Got a bit scared a some point. ;)

Not easy, this sembelih business. Takes 10 men to hold down one (red) cow. :D

When there’s camera, pose! ;)

Miss Drama Queen kita. Siap ada kerusi untuk dia duduk ok? Adoilaa…

Nyang pulak jadi bodyguard dia! Punya lah jauhhhh dia duduk from lembu tu. Itu pun, almost menangis sebab takut lembu tu datang kat dia! Anak sapaaaaaaa lah ni. (Shahriiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllll):P

Afiq yang steady je. Haaaa.. ni sah sah ikut perangai Mama.. ;)

We left Jelebu at 2.30pm once the distribution of the daging korban is done, and went beraya to Aunty Mas' house in Bangi.

Penat beraya ni, budak ni. :)

Nasib baik lahhhhh ada SSC ni. Terpaksa lah Ayah guna nak mengangkut Drama Queen nan seorang. Suka dia, Ayah ‘kokkong’! Haiii lah anak.

Selamat Hari Raya, everyone!
