DeepaRaya at my place

As I was too busy with the preparation of finals (which was a persistent annoyance) while the other peoples were celebrating it, I had to adjourn my own celebration. Hence, me and my two other sisters came out with another plan, to organize a mini-celebration yesterday on the 26th of Eid, which also fell on the Deepavali Day. So, we aptly called it as a Deeparaya Open-House.

I had cordially invited a few close friends only, whereas some others were outside the hometown (blame MMU for arranging unparallel trimester breaks with other institutions). Mum bought some of the food (the roti jala and ketupat), mom cooked the fried mee, kuzi and rendang (the gravy for roti jala and ketupat) while I prepared some of the desserts(the Trifle, royal pudding, and kek batik). My two other sisters did the cocktail jelly and cleaned up the dishes.

All in all, I am somewhat satisfied with it, although to a certain extent I think it was not well-executed. I should have arranged the chairs at one corner so that everyone can fairly took the food. My sister's officemates sat on the dining table for long hours at their own frolic till I have to serve the food on the coffee-table to my friends.*Grumpy*
Meet my friends. The sole representative of kaum adam, mr darabdua (Gua syak lu malu malu dengan gadis-gadis ni. Patut la lu senyap jap bila gadis-gadis ni datang.Tak jadi nak makan dua hari.Dok berat ke malu la..)
My two sisters seemed so fatigue after the guests went back

The Leftovers:
The Trifle
Roti Jala and Kuzi Ayam
Cocktail Jelly
Keropok Ikan
