open house

Finally, the open house has come to an end. I really do not know how many relatives came. There is just too many. Grandaunts, granduncles, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews. That's a whole lot.

It started off with the biggest family of my nenek's nieces and nephews. It got off panicky and hectic but mama, being the wonderwoman that she is, everything came under control. So one came, one went off. Another came, another went off.

This year's open house, I have to say, is kinda good. It didn't become like past years where too many people came at any one time, making the house cramp and full until no space, and literally no space, in the house for anymore guests to come in. Shoes were like covering the whole front entrance of my door. Haha.

So, mama cooked white rice, beef ribs soup *in Malay, its called sup lembu rusuk. or sumting like dat.* , chap chai *or is it chye?* and fried chicken.

So basically it's a whole meal for guests.

Anyways, mama and nenek are now feeling shacked and tired, drained off their very last bit of energy in them. Haha. See, never have too many relatives on your side, or better, never have an elderly staying in the same house as you because when raya comes, this is what happens, too many guests and too little energy.
