The Future Design Interior: My World: Special Events

.
ok so this post is going to be a late latee post but it's still fun to blog about! ;)
the Muslims just celebrated Ramadhan 1 Syawal 1431 H.
I, celebrated the last week of Ramadhan and the Eid Al-Fitri at my home-country, Indonesia.
I brought along my Thai BF too to experience the joy.

short detail, - Ramadhan is the holiest of months in the Islamic calendar which happens during the lunar month of Ramadhan that precedes Eid Al-Fitr Lebaran, we as the Muslims feast and eat at night and Fast during the day from dawn to sunset.
and the Eid Al-Fitr is a three-day that marks the end of Ramadhan.
at the eve of it, people in Indonesia usually do Takbir and playing with fireworks.
and the next morning, mass prayers are held in mosques and large open areas around the country.
traditionally, every family in Indonesia celebrated with the traditional dish called ketupat and visiting with family and friends.
charity donations amal are traditionally given at this time.
just prior to lebaran a mass exodus mudik from capital city of Jakarta of over 3 million people occurs as residents return to their villages to celebrate with family and friends.
begging of forgiveness for any transgressions or slights in the past year is expressed during visits, Mohon Maaf Lahir dan Batin.

in Ramadhan, I decided to wear the headscarf or usually known as Hijab.

HELLOOOOO!! how are you all doing?
YES! I am backkkkkk~~ what a long holiday huhh it's been more than 2 months since I've been gone.
I already start my post with the Giveaway that I have won these past 2 months and now I'm sharing the good news which - yesterday was my 3th Anniversary with Hney. LOVE IS IN THE AIR ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ;)
well, actually we have been together for about 4years but then we broke up for a about a year and got together again in 2008. then, we count the 2008 as the real start for us. ;)
uh it's complicated isn't it..

31st July - we already made plans to go out for some candlelight dinner. there are some places that we took for consideration but then since we both are food lovers why not go to some nice buffet?

we did our research in the morning and phoned a few local friends (we're foreigners in this country) to get some advices.
so we then decided to make the reservations at the E&O Hotel or The Eastern & Oriental Hotel. a colonial-style hotel in Penang that was established in 1885 by the Armenian Sarkies Brothers. The sea-fronting hotel is known for its luxurious accommodation and restaurants.

we arrived there 30minutes early and I took a few pictures around the beautiful hotel..
