Hari Raya well spent!

Hari Raya also known as Eid-ul-Fitr is a Muslim Holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.  Since we are here in MY; aside from the SALE all over the malls, we also had the privilege to spend 2 more rest days (making our weekend very LOONG).

Some people make the most of this time spending their holidays out of town, while some people do "balik kampung" (go back to village / hometown) spending this special occasion with their family and loved ones.

Since we are all here in MY and we do not want to go back to the Philippines just for a four day holiday, then might as well celebrate here with friends.  

Our four day weekend was well spent and I am very proud to say that we had a lot of fun with only below RM50 budget. Cool right :D

What did we do? Pretty easy!

Saturday:  

- We spent our morning by having breakfast in the Chinese Shop near the market place.   
- Went to buy grocery items for the week
- Went swimming in our condo, coupled with a fruitful conversation with friends.

Sunday:

- My husband and I did our normal weekend house hold chores
- Prepared for sleep over at Ced's place
- Sopas and Adobo Chicken feet for dinner
- The Bourne movie marathon

Monday:

- Arroz Caldo for breakfast
- Rest at home and some house chores again
- Prepared for another sleep over at Ced's place
- Played Jengga
- Watched three movies but was not able to finish 'em all :D
- Had cake, ice cream and jelly for Karl's midnight Bday celebration

Tuesday:

- Greeted Karl on his Bday
- Champorado and dilis for breakfast
- Prepared for a day outside (yes finally)
- Meatballs, fries, pasta and chicken wings at Ikea
- Daiso at The Curve
- Fullhouse at SSTwo Mall
- Grocery, crocks and last minute shopping at Tropicana Mall

Very well deserved break but did not hurt our pockets that much!

Holidays and breaks are always part of working. Now even if the break is a 7 day holiday, it will not be worthwhile if it was not spent well.  For people like us (yes OFWs) holidays and breaks are best spent with good friends and loved ones!  Even if we are far from our families in the Philippines, I am happy and proud to say that I have found a family with my friends here in MY.
